Any of you ever taken this test before?
Jung Typology Test (http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp)
I came out as a ISFJ the first time I took it and a INTP the second time.
P.S. I forgot to add this link from which the test came.
http://www.typology.net/
-
I only understood about 80% of what that was all about.
I got INTP. whatever that means.
-
If you score significantly differently when taking it twice, perhaps you have some issues to resolve.
-
xargos took it the first time, his alter-ego, leeroy, took it the second time:D
-
Guess I shouldn't have stopped taking my Meds. :noid
-
McGroin, some of the questions can seem ambiguous, e.g. You prefer X to Y, where you could interpret it such that answering negative means that Y is less preferable than X, or that you don't prefer either to the other. This sometimes happens on critical questions of tests using T/F questions like these.
I got lots of intuitive, medium judging, and little introversion and thinking. It matches what I expected.. I can be a bit bipolar so that I would get a high thinking and low intuitive but otherwise similar result. I tend to be a lot more intuitive from early evening until early morning.
What's the key for the abreviations? First three letters=major quality, last letter=secondary quality?
-
I should have added the link to the site where I found the test, sorry about that. Maybe this will explain more.

Yes, that link was quite helpful.

Cool test Xargos. ESTJ here. Good to know I'm in the right line of work according to it...now why do I hate my job? :lol
-
One of the few self "tests" that feels accurate.. The one I got - http://typelogic.com/intj.html Lots of that stuff is really dead on :lol
Good reading Xargos, I had read about the mechanics but hadn't taken the time to read the specifics of all the types.

I got ESTJ .. :)

I got NERD, what's that?

That can be corrected with a simple outpatient surgery. You don't even need a general.

Agreed.

I might be simple country boy, but when I was growing up on the farm, we called this a Meyers-Briggs assessment, and I was INTP.

INTJ ~ hey, this was pretty accurate!
Look out y'all~ "ruthless" (and oopsie ~ that's not right: 'disregard for authority')
*edit* the other definition (I won't post) calls me the "mastermind!" *grin*
To outsiders, INTJs may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence. This self-confidence, sometimes mistaken for simple arrogance by the less decisive, is actually of a very specific rather than a general nature; its source lies in the specialized knowledge systems that most INTJs start building at an early age. When it comes to their own areas of expertise -- and INTJs can have several -- they will be able to tell you almost immediately whether or not they can help you, and if so, how. INTJs know what they know, and perhaps still more importantly, they know what they don't know.
INTJs are perfectionists, with a seemingly endless capacity for improving upon anything that takes their interest. What prevents them from becoming chronically bogged down in this pursuit of perfection is the pragmatism so characteristic of the type: INTJs apply (often ruthlessly) the criterion "Does it work?" to everything from their own research efforts to the prevailing social norms. This in turn produces an unusual independence of mind, freeing the INTJ from the constraints of authority, convention, or sentiment for its own sake.
INTJs are known as the "Systems Builders" of the types, perhaps in part because they possess the unusual trait combination of imagination and reliability. Whatever system an INTJ happens to be working on is for them the equivalent of a moral cause to an INFJ; both perfectionism and disregard for authority may come into play, as INTJs can be unsparing of both themselves and the others on the project. Anyone considered to be "slacking," including superiors, will lose their respect -- and will generally be made aware of this; INTJs have also been known to take it upon themselves to implement critical decisions without consulting their supervisors or co-workers. On the other hand, they do tend to be scrupulous and even-handed about recognizing the individual contributions that have gone into a project, and have a gift for seizing opportunities which others might not even notice.
In the broadest terms, what INTJs "do" tends to be what they "know". Typical INTJ career choices are in the sciences and engineering, but they can be found wherever a combination of intellect and incisiveness are required (e.g., law, some areas of academia). INTJs can rise to management positions when they are willing to invest time in marketing their abilities as well as enhancing them, and (whether for the sake of ambition or the desire for privacy) many also find it useful to learn to simulate some degree of surface conformism in order to mask their inherent unconventionality

I've always been able to read people very well. I can sense their emotional states better than others, along with other things (whether they are lying, etc) better than others. This test just confirms what I knew.

Hehe, my wife has accused me of believing I can read her mind. I should show her my test results that show I can! ;)

CB, I was kicking around on the test site and ran across this FAQ entry:
Keirsey Temperament Frequently Asked Questions
http://keirsey.com/faq.html
Question 1: Is the "Myers-Briggs" the same as Keirsey Temperament Sorter?
No. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), trademarked and copyrighted by Consulting Psychological Press is a different questionnaire. However, they are very similar in result (approximately .75 correlation). The Myers-Briggs is a rough indicator of temperament also, the error rate about one out of four assessments being not correct.
Question 2: What's the difference between Keirsey Temperament and Myers-Briggs Types?
There's a difference.

I got INTJ, which figures. My wife got ISFJ which fits her exactly. She read the the INTJ description and said 'That's you'. It contained all kinds of stuff she's always accusing me of. So it's a good test.

ISTP
Profile: ISTP
Revision: 3.0
Date of Revision: 26 Feb 2005
Like their fellow SPs, ISTPs are fundamentally Performers (note the capital 'P' :-)), but as Ts their areas of interest tend to be mechanical rather than artistic like those of ISFPs, and unlike most ESPs they do not present an impression of constant activity. On the contrary, they lie dormant, saving their energy until a project or an adventure worthy of their time comes along--and then they launch themselves at it. The apparently frenzied state that inevitably ensues is actually much more controlled than it appears--ISTPs always seem to know what they're doing when it comes to physical or mechanical obstacles--but the whole chain of events presents a confusing and paradoxical picture to an outsider.
ISTPs are equally difficult to understand in their need for personal space, which in turn has an impact on their relationships with others. They need to be able to "spread out"--both physically and psychologically--which generally implies encroaching to some degree on others, especially if they decide that something of someone else's is going to become their next project. (They are generally quite comfortable, however, with being treated the same way they treat others--at least in this respect.) But because they need such a lot of flexibility to be as spontaneous as they feel they must be, they tend to become as inflexible as the most rigid J when someone seems to be threatening their lifestyle (although they usually respond with a classic SP rage which is yet another vivid contrast to their "dormant," impassive, detached mode). These territorial considerations are usually critical in relationships with ISTPs; communication also tends to be a key issue, since they generally express themselves non-verbally. When they do actually verbalize, ISTPs are masters of the one-liner, often showing flashes of humor in the most tense situations; this can result in their being seen as thick-skinned or tasteless.
Like most SPs, ISTPs may have trouble with rote and abstract classroom learning, which tend not to be good measures of their actual intelligence. They tend, sometimes with good reason, to be highly skeptical of its practical value, and often gravitate towards classes in industrial arts; part-time vocational/ technical programs can be useful to even the college-bound ISTP. In terms of careers, mechanics and any of the skilled trades are traditional choices, and those ISTPs with strong numerical as well mechanical gifts tend to do extremely well in most areas of engineering. Working as paramedics or firefighters can fulfill the ISTP need to live on the edge; they are at their best in a crisis, where their natural disregard for rules and authority structures allows them to focus on and tackle the emergency at hand in the most effective way.
ISTPs with more sedate careers usually take on high-risk avocations like racing, skydiving, and motorcycling. While aware of the dangers involved, they are so in touch with the physical world that they know they can get away with much smaller safety margins than other types.
Famous ISTPs:
(I have to give Joe Butt credit for most of the following)
U.S. Presidents:
Zachary Taylor
Charles Bronson
Tom Cruise
James Dean
Clint Eastwood
Burt Reynolds
Keith Richards
Charlie Yeager
Frank Zappa
Fictional:
Hedda Gabler in Ibsen's play of the same name
John Miller in the movie American Grafitti
Archibald "Harry" Tuttle in the movie Brazil
Functional Analysis: - by Joe Butt
Introverted Thinking
Thinking, the dominant function, generally keeps its opinions to itself. The inner world of introverted thinkers resembles Plato's rec room, where every untried idea runs the gauntlet of Truth. The personal or political source of the alleged fact matters little to Thinking; each tenet must stand on its own premises. Introverted thinkers focus their directives in on themselves, and would like nothing better than for others to do the same. One ISTP friend displays a poster of an orangutan with the caption, "If I want your opinion, I'll beat it out of you." Suffice it to say that ISTPs are by nature free spirits.
Extraverted Sensing
Auxiliary Sensing provides Thinking with all manner of information about the physical world. ISTPs possess heightened sensory awareness. And as other SPs, ISTPs are energized by responding to their impulses. Sports appeal to many ISTPs for the sheer sensory experience.
This combination of dominant introverted thinking and auxiliary extraverted sensing results in no-nonsense realism. The uncanny troubleshooting ability which predisposes many ISTPs to hands-on diagnostics (especially with machinery and computers) or detective work is most probably rooted in this pairing.
Introverted iNtuition
Tertiary iNtuition maintains a low profile. ISTPs are prone to consult "gut feelings" that most probably arise from this function unconsciously. As with other SP types, ISTPs generally lack enthusiasm for theoretical and philosophical issues, and less for the endless discussions in which the Intuitive (especially NP) types so frequently engage.
Extraverted Feeling
The inferior (least) feeling function is extraverted and, when operative, quite visible. As with all types, the inferior function is relatively simplistic and often operates unconsciously in an all-or-nothing manner. When operative, Feeling's sensitivity and loyalty has the potential for great benefit and utter peril. It would seem that ISTPs would do well to nourish and cherish Feeling judgement, but to vigilantly supervise and protect it from predators and other catastrophes.

Strangely accurate, a bit unnerving. Tmom, I got INTJ rating too, apparently we're relatively rare but most likely to devise intricate plans for world domination.

I don't think it's entirely accurate, the scoring seemed to be a bit slated. Considering the group I normally interact with, I should be more of the thinking kind than extrovert. Oh well. I guess I don't think as much as I should. :)

I think its pretty close to how I see myself
Found in two percent (at most) of the population, Inventors are good at functional analysis, and have both a tolerance for and enjoyment of complex problems. Outgoing and intensely curious, Inventors are apt to express interest in finding out about everything they come into contact with,
and are the most reluctant of all the types to do things in a particular manner just because that is the way things have always been done. They characteristically have an eye out for a better way, always on the lookout for new projects, new activities, new procedures.
this in particular fits me because I resist doing things just because "thats the way its always been done"
ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue--both for its own sake, and to show off their often-impressive skills. They tend to have a perverse sense of humor as well, and enjoy playing devil's advocate. They sometimes confuse, even inadvertently hurt, those who don't understand or accept the concept of argument as a sport.
I wouldnt exactly call me cerebrally quick but I do love a good argument...
I find it interesting that another ENTP was Theodore Roosevelt , which if I remember right I also came up with when someone posted those Presidental and Military commander personality tests a couple of months ago.
