[micromass]

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Istj

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 .

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 scored as an INFP

Finally, proof that I am a mastermind - look out world!

 

[AlephZero]

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

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.

 

[kcajrenreb]

I'm "the crafter". Hurrah.

 

[S_Happens]

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.

 

[WannabeNewton]

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

 

[Willowz]

Got INFJ

I'd be a good mother.

 

[S_Happens]

E N T P- 44 75 75 44

Now it's more moderate in the E and P and distinctly N, which I think is true.

 

[symbolipoint]

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

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...

Does any better method exist? Picking numbers to give some accurate personality statement seems inadequate. The some of the questions themselves contained in that test are incomplete or imprecise.

 

[ZombieFeynman]

ENFP:
Extravert(56%) iNtuitive(25%) Feeling(12%) Perceiving(78)%

You have moderate preference of Extraversion over Introversion (56%)
You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (25%)
You have slight preference of Feeling over Thinking (12%)
You have strong preference of Perceiving over Judging (78%)

 

[FreeMitya]

Wow! Too many unreasonable pigeonholes.

Exactly what I thought.

Apparently I'm a mastermind.

 

[reenmachine]

Architect

They were some questions that I could have clicked on any of the two statements.

They were also some tough questions to answer truthfully , like: When you do feel better?

-after a decision
-before a decision

Caught me by surprise , never thought about this before.

 

[WannabeNewton]

I hear girls find architects very attractive. Either that or How I Met Your Mother IS A LIE! T_T

[goingmeta]

intj, like everyone else

 

[OmCheeto]

INTP
Introvert(22%) iNtuitive(50%) Thinking(25%) Perceiving(56)%

I blame it on my age.

I only think 25% of the time, and my vision is kind of crappy, so I can only perceive 50% of what I'm looking at.
