Personalities (MBTI)

Quote from 2d-chris

Why would you want to tell somebody else your personality? Can't they figure that out for themselves? Even if you needed too what are you going to say, I'm a mixture of IITGY and EVTRE? At least to me that makes you sound like a plonker.It's certainly interesting to spend your time looking at other peoples personalities but It's a waste of time to make classifications for such a complicted and unique thing. It reminds me of people trying to describe flavors of wine or a classical piece of music using colors. Weirdos!!!!!!

Well, in my case it was the HR department of the firm that wanted to know what kind of personality I was.

Second of all, I think its hilarious that you used a classification of music (read: classic music) as an example of not putting something in a classification.

isn't this the third time this has come up on the 'core?

anyway i'm ENFP/ENTP depending on what i'm doing.

besides, 2d: saying that anything you choose or do has no effect on your personality would be ignorant. the test doesn't give you the results without merit - after all, you answer the questions it gives you yourself.

ISFJI'm a warm hearted, well organized motherfucker. I'm an expressionistic introvert.

funny, i had you for an ISTJ.

EDIT:

i just saw what furyo wrote. i believe you have to take the results with a grain of salt, as well as delve into the theory itself. the theory states that there is a function order for each specific type, and for some distinct types, those orders may have a minimal change. INFJ -> INTJ is not entirely impossible; it could be two aspects of your personality you take on at a respectively lower/higher resource cost.

What does somebody trying to explain music with colors have to do with classification? The point was some people go too far and try to understand everything that's out of context. Labeling your personality type is such thing in my opinion. Im me, not anyone else.

Of course you are yourself. So is anyone of us. This test isn't about who you are, it's about how you interact with the world, which is only a component of your entire self.

Although if you want to talk about what defines an individual, I would argue that cultural upbringing, personal experiences and memories are a lot more what makes you unique than your personality type which can indeed share many traits with many others.

For me it's not labeling. It's about having better communication with other people. And understanding the problems that will evolve out of an situation.

And much more. It helped me on much levels. Mostly on the level of understanding.

Right But on the other hand you can understand everything about personality types but if you just dont like a person thats the end of it. Clashing is very common and completely unavoidable in any situation. That is why learning all this stuff really makes no sense to me, is it really that hard to work out somebody else's personality by yourself - and thats assuming you even want to

Sometimes I wonder why people need guidence on the simplest of human skills such as socialising or personalities! That being said I did take the test because I was bored

I'd really like you to take the test and tell us what the result is 2d chris.

haha - well I did this already because somebody from HR sent it around a few weeks ago but ...

ENTJ

You are:

* very expressed extravert

* moderately expressed intuitive personality

* moderately expressed thinking personality

* moderately expressed judging personality

So - take away all that fancy shit and I like to get my point across and heard. I knew that already ;p

lolol look what we have here! It's true but if I asked questions like do you like to lead in situations one would expect the same results at the end.

"Of the four aspects of strategic analysis and definition it is marshaling or situational organizing role that reaches the highest development in the Fieldmarshal. As this kind of role is practiced some contingency organizing is necessary, so that the second suit of the Fieldmarshal's intellect is devising contingency plans. Structural and functional engineering, though practiced in some degree in the course of organizational operations, tend to be not nearly as well developed and are soon outstripped by the rapidly growing skills in organizing. But it must be said that any kind of strategic exercise tends to bring added strength to engineering as well as organizing skills.

Hardly more than two percent of the total population, Fieldmarshals are bound to lead others, and from an early age they can be observed taking command of groups. In some cases, they simply find themselves in charge of groups, and are mystified as to how this happened. But the reason is that they have a strong natural urge to give structure and direction wherever they are - to harness people in the field and to direct them to achieve distant goals. They resemble Supervisors in their tendency to establish plans for a task, enterprise, or organization, but Fieldmarshals search more for policy and goals than for regulations and procedures."

Yeah well some people just don't seem to need much direction, others do

I'm so not surprised by your results Chris...

ESTP

I keep bugging everyone to do stuff, and when noone wants to do stuff with me I just go and play by myself

MBTI relies a lot on confirmation bias IMO

Took these test numerous times, always come out as INFJ.

The test on this explains it the best http://www.typelogic.com/infj.html

Beneath the quiet exterior, INFJs hold deep convictions about the weightier matters of life. Those who are activists -- INFJs gravitate toward such a role -- are there for the cause, not for personal glory or political power.INFJs are champions of the oppressed and downtrodden. They often are found in the wake of an emergency, rescuing those who are in acute distress. INFJs may fantasize about getting revenge on those who victimize the defenseless. The concept of 'poetic justice' is appealing to the INFJ.

"There's something rotten in Denmark." Accurately suspicious about others' motives, INFJs are not easily led. These are the people that you can rarely fool any of the time. Though affable and sympathetic to most, INFJs are selective about their friends. Such a friendship is a symbiotic bond that transcends mere words.

INFJs have a knack for fluency in language and facility in communication. In addition, nonverbal sensitivity enables the INFJ to know and be known by others intimately.

Writing, counseling, public service and even politics are areas where INFJs frequently find their niche.

Are these things like astrology and horoscopes? They predict and say things that are common to many other groups people and often you find them to be true.

BTW, I'm INFJ too D: and the most of the things said above SEEM to be true with me.

RPG games should here on have a "Choose your MBTI" option where you enter your MBIT thingie and it selects a race/character and customizes it for you

most of the RPGs you have translate archetypes into specific character classes. you usually pick the character you identify with the most. although classes may be more superficial, they signal the same thing: your class decides your abilities and how other people see you virtually.

my two cents:

1. my suggestion would be to go out, have fun and make friends, do exciting stuff and meet people irl. that'll be much more worth then tests like these (and it's much more rewarding). right now im in the 4th and last year of my ''school of social sciences'' and i have done alot of these tests (on my self and other people). they all make sense to a certain degree, but it's nothing anyone should take too seriously. in the end, we are the choices we make, not whatever name we allow a psychologist to give us, according to a social formula. these tests are tools, not answers.

2. welcome to adolescence, guys!
