AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around participants sharing their personality types based on the Keirsey and Myers-Briggs tests. Many users express skepticism about the accuracy of personality tests but participate out of curiosity. A significant number of participants identify as INTJ, often referred to as "Mastermind" or "Architect," indicating a trend among forum members towards this type, which is noted to be rare in the general population. Some users also report being INTP or ENTJ, with discussions highlighting the commonality of these types among scientifically inclined individuals. The conversation touches on the implications of personality types in professional settings, with several users noting their alignment with careers in science or engineering. There are comments about the limitations of the tests, including the overwhelming number of questions and the simplistic nature of the options provided. Overall, the thread illustrates a community of academically oriented individuals engaging with personality assessments while acknowledging their imperfections.

What is your personality type??

Yes, I know that personality tests are highly inaccurate, but I'm interested anyway :biggrin:

Basically, I'm asking for your Keirsey personality type. The test can be found here: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp or http://www.okcupid.com/tests/the-long-scientific-personality-test .

So, I'm wondering what most PF people will score. Comments about how penguins aren't represented in this test are welcome...

Pengy!
 


Here you go: ISFJ-The Protector.
This may fit with being a homework helper. :)

Shouldn't this have been a poll?
And what's your personality type?

You can't see the poll??

I'm an INFJ :-p
 


Wow! Too many unreasonable pigeonholes.
 


Took both tests and got the same result: INFP. I'm a Healer all the way apparently.

I got INTJ as well, but I highly doubt that I'm a so called "Mastermind".

Me, INTP.

Every time we do this poll, we are heavily INTJ. It seems to go with being scientifically inclined.

Masterminds rule! Muahahaha... :devil:

I took an MBTI test that was administered by my university. It took a couple weeks to receive the results, which told me I'm an INTJ.

Less than 5 minutes for me, but I saw 72 questions and felt a little bit overwhelmed.

Anyway, I took it.

I thought we would have more crafter considering physics is more engineering.

Did anyone look at the job they suggested? My first job listed matched what I'm doing currently :) The second job is what I want to become :)

The inspector, i think their description is probably 75% true

You are:

moderately expressed judging personalityI guess I'm not surprised.Someone should get some non-science types at another forum to do this. I would be interested to see the differences between pf and some literature website.

I scored ENTJ, Commandant or Fieldmarshall. I guess it fits. I'm pretty comfortable telling people what to do.

INTJ.

In a previous thread on this, someone posted a link that showed that INTJ is the rarest type for females. In RL I find that to be sooooo true. Makes me extra happy for PF!

I'm still INTP, which hasn't changed since 30 years ago when I first took it.

Hmm, it is said that INTJ's are only 1-4% of the population. But here we have >50%

Nice!

It will be interesting to know what kind of personalities people prefer the most.
 
  • #35


I am INTJ, but if I happen to be in a slightly cocky mood, there is usually one question or two that will bump me to ENTJ. I am borderline in between internalizer and externalizer, but a true "I." My daughter also is an INTJ, but she has never created an account, so SHE CAN'T VOTE!
 
  • #36


My past avocation as a musician/performer probably pushed me into the E. Plus, I have always been a risk-taker, which explains why I agreed to host open-mic jams at taverns when the very next person coming in the door could be a killer jazz or blues artist, or some kid with stage-fright so bad that they needed tons of hand-holding before they'd open up.

Definitely NOT ENFJ (The Teacher). We ban them around here.

INFJ's make up the smallest portion of the population, followed by INTJ's, then INTP's. Except it actually varies by gender. INFJ men are the rarest of all, followed by INTJ women, INFJ women, and INTJ men.

The three most common types are ISFJ's, ESFJ's, and ISTJ's. At least we have a few of those. Last time we did this, over 50% belonged to the 3 rarest types and no one belonged to the most common types.

INTJ, but some days I feel like an ENTJ. My ideal social situation isn't alone, but it's not with a large number of people. Maybe 3-5 people and I'm happy.

Definitely, that's me too. I find interacting with strangers to be completely exhausting. But interacting with a small group of people whom I know well is a joy.

I mean, assuming I like them o:).

I'm pretty much the same way, on a personal, interactive basis. I was always comfortable in crowds when performing music, because you can interact with attendees on another level. If they love your music, they like to tell you about it. Thank them, and acknowledge their interests. If you don't, you can come off as "distant" or suffering from a "star complex", but it's just common courtesy to engage politely and be friendly.

That said, I wouldn't want to have been running an open-mic jam at a tavern only to have somebody try to feel me out on personal/political/religious (etc) issues. As long as it was all about the music, no pressure - just fun.

I don''t find that surprising. In the large engineering company I work for (which may or may not takes these tests more seriously that it should!) I would estimate > 80% of the engineers are INTJ.

I'm "the crafter". Hurrah.
 
  • #48


I used to score very strongly ESTP, until the past couple of years.

Now I'm still strongly E_TP but borderline between S and N, so Promoter or Inventor. It probably depends more on whether I'm getting my fill of working on technical problems or not. I'll take it tomorrow and see what happens.

I got performer. Well that settles it - I'm gay.

Got INFJ

I'd be a good mother.
