The discussion revolves around creating a poll to determine participants' Myers-Briggs personality types. Initial posts express a desire for more options in the poll, leading to suggestions for additional personality types and links to various personality tests. Participants share their results, with many identifying as INTJ, INTP, ENTJ, and ENFJ, discussing the accuracy of the tests and their experiences with different personality types over time. There is a light-hearted tone as users joke about editing the poll and the subjective nature of the questions. Some express frustration at not being able to select multiple options or at the limitations of the original poll. Overall, the thread emphasizes the interest in personality types and the nuances of individual assessments.

INTP. Just the other night I got INTJ on the same test, though the J was only 1 percent (this time, P was 22%). However, the description of INTP does seem to fit me a fair bit better.
I believe I've taken tests like this a number of times in the past. As a teenager (~14-16) I used to regularly score as INFP, if memory serves.

Interesting. When I took this the other night, I predicted an INTP (had never taken it before), but got an INTJ, with J by 1%. Perhaps I will have to retake it.

By the way, how the heck do they know that Julius Caesar and Hannibal were both INTJs? I always figured I'd make a good general, incidentally.

Funny...I actually expected the most popular temperaments to be INTP and INTJ! :bugeye:

Hmm...i can't answer the poll since my acronym isn't listed. Heh, I am uncommon. (thats for damn sure!:biggrin: )

I got ENFJ

You are:

* slightly expressed extrovert
* distinctively expressed intuitive personality
* moderately expressed feeling personality
* moderately expressed judging personality

Though, i think mines a bit off. I do like my own personal space and I am a private person when it comes to details-but I am exetremely extroverted. Complete social butterfly and a total people person.

Though, a lot of those questions were quite subjective. Yes or no didnt quite work for some things asked.

Heh, I spent most of the day yesterday reading about types. INTP is the one that fits me best, followed by INTJ and INFP. If anyone is interested, these were pretty good sites.

http://www.gesher.org/Myers-Briggs/Myers_Briggs.html
http://www.bestfittype.com/
http://cognitiveprocesses.com/
http://www.4temperaments.com/
Or for a quick overview of some different models, see
http://www.16types.com/Request.jsp?hView=DynamicPage&Content=The16Types

I think the comparisons on that first site and the "cognitive processes" breakdown were the most helpful. The type descriptions seem to vary a lot from one site to the next and tend to let the author's personal judgements leak in. My own assessment doesn't fit with any of the types, but maybe I don't understand it well enough (or maybe it's wrong). I think it was still a valuable learning experience. Anyone else like thinking about these things?

There's still room to add it. You got here while there were a few untaken categories left. Actually, now I'll get to try something else I saw last time but didn't dare try. :biggrin: It's fun learning how these super powers work.

Oooh, yeah! I can add more than 10 options. :biggrin:
