What's your personality type?

[Numbers_]

I've always been kinda fascinated with how other people test on the myers-briggs system, so I thought i'd post a poll for people who are willing to take it.

All you have to do is go here (http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes1.htm) take the test and then look at the type descriptions here (http://www.personalitypage.com/high-level.html). This is another (http://www.mypersonality.info/personality-types/) good place for descriptions.

I know a lot of people are skeptical of personality tests like this and that's fine. It, at the most, gives a very basic overview of your personality. I bet a lot of you have taken the test in school or at work at some point anyway.

If the description is off try looking at a type one or even two letters off from the result you got, especially look at the letters that are borderline percentage wise. The test will only point you in the right direction.

I'm INFJ, but I know this from researching system and understanding the functions (which I won't get into here, but it's easy enough to find the info online).

I'm going to guess the majority of you will test as INTP or INTJ. :)

It would be interesting to link the results from this poll to classes that people play to see if there is any correlation.

perhaps the first class we were inclined to pick, since everyone ought to have tried them all by now...

I'm INFP and I was first drawn to druidism, my bf is INTP and was first drawn to roguehood. makes sense, shrug

[Koota]

INTP

Logical, original, creative thinkers. Can become very excited about theories and ideas. Exceptionally capable and driven to turn theories into clear understandings. Highly value knowledge, competence and logic. Quiet and reserved, hard to get to know well. Individualistic, having no interest in leading or following others.

Hmm, well I was a paladin back in 1999. I don't remember how I picked that class, must have been high at the time. :P

I play a monk now.

[Ostros]

INFJ or INFP, usually when I take those tests I'm uncertain about a few of the questions because I have a hard time visualizing what I'd do in that situation. For instance: there's not enough "Don't care" radio buttons in that test =P.

After reading the INFJ, I figure that's most like me. I played a necromancer through SoF on live, and play one now. Figure that out =P.

both of those have religious zeal! are you anal? by that I mean, do you worship a rl deity?

tanks always need a healer

[wehrmacht]

Scored INTP but there's too many bad questions on here. Things like:

"You like to be engaged in an active and fast-paced job"

Makes it sound like the job choices would be private in the army or bartender or something. Basically stuff nobody over age 25 would want. Automatic "no" choice.

You enjoy having a wide circle of acquaintances

It doesn't specify if you would like or dislike these people. If it's 1000 people that drive you insane, it doesn't seem like that great of a choice!


The more people with whom you speak, the better you feel

It doesn't specify if you would enjoy or dislike talking to them. Are we talking about thousands of naked women or illegal aliens standing outside of home depot?

You like to keep a check on how things
are progressing

Most meaningless question I've ever seen.

You easily empathize with the concerns of other people

I think anyone that isn't a sociopath or psychopath (4% and 1% of population) falls under this. So the question isn't really relevant because there's nothing in the test dealing with mental illness.

You prefer to isolate yourself from outside noises

This is supposed to be a personality question but most people from any personality are probably going to try and avoid hearing the old man's wood chipper that lives next to you.

You feel at ease in a crowd


You prefer meeting in small groups to interaction
with lots of people

Broken question because it's supposed to determine personality but most people will answer it in terms of looking for sex or whatever.

Ironically, i'm agnostic.



Yeah, some of the questions on there are pretty ambiguous. Here's (http://www.personalitytype.com/career_quiz) a really short checklist type test or you could search for "mbti quiz" or "myers-briggs test". There's a ton of them online.

i think its true, i play monk/rogue/war most of the time, I hate playing my shaman on raids(this is all red server stuff).

Well, it turns out there is a lot more entj's than I would have predicted. I have a feeling at least one or two of ya are really INTJ's tho.

Still, the rational temperament (intuitive thinking or NT) is the most popular here so far (almost 50%) even though they make up way less of the general population.

Same result (http://typelogic.com/entj.html) I got last time I took this test like 2 years ago. Guess I should move to France, prepare to take over the world.
Career indicator was pretty accurate. I've done counseling (skewlin & practice), manufacturing management (telecommunications) and now business & programming (indie/freelance game/multimedia dev + had more skewlin). That only leaves law, military and politics. No time soon ;)

I test alternatingly as either an INTP or INFP. I admire mbti, though it has some shortcomings.

[Zereh]

I have taken the original M-B test and also attended a seminar given by them at a company I used to work for. INFP numbers are generally very small in the general population ... This is what the MB folks gave me at the seminar about my type:

INFP
~You are an Intorverted Feeling-Type~

You are introverted, intuitive, feeling and perceptive. Your dominant process is introverted feeling. Your auxiliary function is extraverted intuition. Extraverted thinking and introverted sensing are your least developed functions.

Let’s take a look at what this combination of characteristics means in the day-to-day reality of being you.

Remember the tin woodsman in Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz? He was the fellow whose immense sensitivity and enormous capacity for feeling were hidden behind an armored shell. He complained that he didn’t have a heart, but you knew, from the first time he appeared in the story, that he had one, all right. He just kept it well out of harm’s way.

And his wasn’t a perfect shield, for now he had to worry each time the tears fell, that he’d corrode his vulnerable armor.

Sound familiar?

You, too, shelter your feelings, and they are as formidable as those of the tin woodsman.

As a feeling introvert, your essential personality is hidden from view. Your façade may not be metal, but it’s just as solid and just as vulnerable to misplaced trust. People have to know you well before you’ll let down your guard and expose your warmth and sensitivity. Then you open your trust and hope that the recipients are wise enough to appreciate your gift of admission to the inner sanctum of your life.

In general, your judging manifests itself within, as you guide your own actions and attitudes by a strong inner sense of values, independent of others’ judgment. You have a powerful sense of faithfulness, duty and commitment to the people and causes which attract you. You take your obligations seriously, enforced by your own internalized sense of morality.

The face you show the world is a perceptive one, and you’ll show your judging characteristic only if someone should trespass on your feelings by challenging you – or someone or something that you really value. At that time, your perceptive openness and flexibility cease. Then, you become immovable.

You may care about fewer things and a smaller circle of people than your extraverted friends, but your caring runs deeper, and a violation of trust is crushing to you.

As an introvert, you naturally value inner processes over external signs. As a friend, you can go a long time without overt reciprocation of your feelings and still perpetuate a friendship. Your feelings are not diminished by time or distance. When a friend really needs you, you’ll be there; this year, next year, ten years from now. That’s the way friendship operates among introverts.

You tend to form a quiet, intense, devoted friendship which awes your extraverted friends. They can’t understand it. Frankly, you do no understand the extravert’s concept of friendship, either. To you, their affiliations seem shallow, fleeting and devoid of long-term personal commitment.

When it comes to friendship and love, it’s apparent that introverts and extraverts speak separate languages using coming terms.

For the introverted feeling personality, disappointments relating to mismatched affection can be crippling, since feeling is experienced so deeply, so personally.

You may be described as the ultimate idealist, often a suffering one. You are almost afflicted by your sense of how you and the rest of the world could be, and you’re painfully aware of how sorely reality differs from perfection.

It is unfortunately true that many with your personality type have to struggle in order to find an outward focus for their feelings – a work or mission where they may have impact. Failing to do so can leave you forever looking inward, alienated and disappointed by the shallowness and superficiality of the world.

The extent to which introverts are capable of adapting to live in a populated depends on how well the auxiliary process is developed. Remember, as an introvert, you turn your most highly developed personality process inward. On a day-to-day basis, it’s your less preferred mode which keeps you functioning.

~Your Auxiliary Process~

You are an intensely private person with a rich inner life which remains largely uncommunicated. Your world of feelings belongs to only yourself. The personality you permit the casual observer to experience is molded from your intuition, which guides your perceptive process.

The combination of intuition with feeling forms the very cornerstone of your personality: a temperament we call the EMPATHIST.

Taken together, intuition and feeling mold the idealist and truth-seeker, one whose main quest in life lies within and is directed toward achieving personal peace and integration. A goal for your temperament is acceptance, but more than that; acceptance as you really are – no mask, no pretense, no façade. Being genuine, sincere is what matters to you.

Relationships are a crucial focus for the EMPATHIST. You seek to understand others deeply and to have that understanding reciprocated with loving acceptance. You invest your total self—time, energy, patience and sensitivity—in relationships. You often are disappointed, for few understand your concept of knowing another, and fewer still are capable of achieving the kind of interpersonal connection you want.

Significance of self, of work, of relationships is the key to understanding the personality the EMPATHIST.

You are always searching for hidden meaning and motivation in others’ behavior. That can be a tremendous benefit if you choose a career in a ministerial or counseling field. In persuasive writing, too, you know instinctively how to reach people, how to communicate your vision with clarity. You are better able to than any other personality type to express sentiment and to move people with your communication.

There is a strong element of the mystical in your personality. It has been said that para-psychology phenomena – ESP, clairvoyance and the like—occur most commonly with intuitive and feeling people like yourself. Perhaps the key is that your personality is attuned to sources of knowledge other commonly ignore.

You have a sweeping awareness of time and history in all that you do. You have respect for the past, for tradition. You experience the moment. You look toward the future. And you sometimes can do all three at once. Yours is the personality of the visionary.

Your trust your intuition, and you are willing to act at an instinctual level. You somehow sense good and evil in people and situations, and you are willing to make value judgments on the basis of ethereal data which totally baffle other personality types. You can rarely trace by a clear, logical, well-defined sequence how you derive your insight about life, but your experience validates your judgment more often than not.

Creativity is your hallmark, and you are a true perfectionist when it comes to your work. You can see what you do as an extension of who you are, and – just as you strive toward the perfection of yourself – you are almost driven to do your best at any task you undertake. You envision a perfect job, an ideal design, a perfect document, an excellent interaction. You believe that your ideal is attainable.

As an introvert, functioning in a sea of people may be exhausting and draining. But, as a feeling person, living a life of isolation would be unimaginable. You will find your greatest comfort by compromising; interacting with others, closely, intimately, mostly in small groups or one-on-one. In either case, the personal element will always be important in all that you do. You work for your fellow man, and you write for people to understand your thoughts.

Your empathy is so great that you can recognize the physical and emotional ups and downs, moods and cycles of people around you – even those you do not know well. In close friends, you may sense their pain and frustration before they do. When you wish, you have the ability to penetrate another’s shell and move into their reality.

This almost psychic ability to try on other identities is the key to your interpersonal power, as well as the secret of great acting, and you may use this talent – consciously or unconsciously – every day. As a writer or performer, this chameleon ability arms you well to become the characters you deal with.

Harmony is essential for you in your personal environment, and you endeavor to promote peace and cooperation around you. You know the value of appreciation, and you are the consummate master of the well-place compliment and the encouraging pat on the back.

You are responsive to praise yourself. You can feel worn down when you find yourself in a working situation which forces you to contend with continual hostility and criticism. If your working world becomes a miserable place, you may experience personal paralysis, lose your usual enthusiasm and self-confidence, and even succumb to stress-related disease.

Your personal relationships manifest your desire for deep intimate human connection. If you had to make a choice, you’d probably favor depth of friendship in a few relationships that will span the years and decades, rather than a breadth of shallow relationships with a large assortment of people. You do not reveal yourself to people casually,

It takes times and trust for you to open up completely and – once expose – you may find yourself vulnerable to hurt if your caring is not reciprocated.

When intuition and feeling meet in the perceptive introvert, your unique personality is formed.

You fall into an exclusive personality category which contains only one percent of the population, and you live in a personal world which is foreign to other types: sensitive, artistic and imaginative above all – far removed from the here and now and definitely disinclined to make decisions bases on a logical basis.

Thinking types may call you illogical, but you know that you simply march to the beat of a different drummer; one that your critics either cannot hear or refuse to trust.

You come to knowledge by an internal route of intuiting and feeling, which is not only foreign to sensing/thinking types but often frustrating to them. They see your road to understanding as a mystical one, wholly beyond their comprehension.

Carl Jung, the great analytical psychologist whose theory of personality forms the basis of Type-Temperament Theory, saw Joan of Arc as the classic representative of your personality type: mystical, devoted to a cause, always mid-way between an inner world of righteous conviction and an outer world cast in the sharp black and white simplicity of evil and good forces.

The challenge you must face is to keep that tremendous sensitivity as an asset: to let your vision inspire and not cripple you, to find a mission in life where your special qualities can blossom. Those with your personality type must be on guard against turning inward, brooding that the world is as it is and not as it might be.
