Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around participants sharing their results from a personality test based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Participants discuss their types, the implications of their results, and the perceived accuracy of the test in relation to their personalities and career choices.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants report their personality types, such as INFJ, INTJ, ENTP, and INFP, along with their respective strength percentages.
  • One participant humorously notes that answering 'yes' to everything results in an ESFJ type.
  • Several participants express skepticism about the career recommendations provided by the test, with some finding them unappealing or inaccurate.
  • There is a discussion about the frequency of personality tests being taken within the community, with some suggesting that many participants tend to identify as INTJ.
  • One participant reflects on the nature of the test, mentioning that preferences do not dictate capabilities, and that individuals can exhibit traits from multiple types.
  • Another participant raises a point about the similarity of questions in the test, suggesting they may be designed to catch inconsistencies in responses.
  • Humorous "MBTI prayers" are shared, reflecting stereotypes associated with different personality types.
  • Some participants discuss the social implications of being introverted or extroverted, particularly in relation to careers like law.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally share their personality types and experiences with the test, but there is no consensus on the accuracy of the test or the appropriateness of the career suggestions. Multiple competing views on the implications of personality types and their relevance to professional success remain evident.

Contextual Notes

Some participants note that the test results may not fully capture the complexity of individual personalities, and there are discussions about the limitations of the test in predicting career suitability.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in personality assessments, those exploring career options based on personality types, and members of the community who enjoy discussing psychological frameworks may find this discussion relevant.

I should go into management or politics according to this test. Actually, that's not so far off from my "more realistic" goals in life.

INTJ

I actually went thru some trouble to check out the INTJ open mailing list..

http://epistolary.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/intj-open

I would say its more of a lot of INTJs trying to proof(perhaps a little too hard) that they are INTJ rather than it really shows any characteristics of INTJ between the lines...

But how well researched and surveyed are these tests (i am being INTJ here and I am one, or so they say). Are they done be professionals, are they peer-reviewed, etc.

Cuz I have always been skeptical about such "tests" since the websites look very crappy and unconvincing but always had a lot of fun taking them..

The interesting thing about this test is no matter how many times I've done this test over several years I always come out the same... I guess it is more accuarte than one might think...
