Meyers Briggs

edited February 2012
I'm an ENFJ. It feels pretty accurate to me.
ENFJs are supposed to be teachers! In fact, they are sometimes called "the Teacher."
It's me! Also with the "gets frustrated by theoretical ideas." Oops, also me

What are you?

Other famous ENFJs include Barack Obama and Peyton Manning. No idea what to make of that.

  • ENXJ. The E and the J are a very strong fit for me. The other two, not so much (X = inconclusive).
  • INTJ - Masterminds!

    A nice term, but I dunno... a lot of the questions I thought, BOTH! DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES!

    Other INTJ people: Stephen Hawking, Andrew Grove, Marie Curie, Guy Kawasaki, Igor Sikorsky, Hillary Clinton
  • What's the best site to take the test?
  • http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp but that might not be a good one.

    Who's down with INTP? Absent minded professors in the hizzy!

    haha I think I'm INTP


    INFP or INFJ
    I relate mostly to INFP ("The Idealist")
  • edited February 2012
    INFP according to that site.

    The description and careers seem appropriate.
  • Still an INFJ! I am consistent.
  • INTJ. I've done this before but can never remember.

    It's kind of interesting to look at the types that are one letter off of your own, so instead of a question of "what is my personality type" it's more of "compared to what?" Useful, too, if you're kind of split in a category. My "I" is pretty close to an "E".

    I haven't taken a Meyers Briggs test in years but I'm still an ENFP (aka CHAMPION IDEALIST). I'm really kind of amazed that a series of self-assessed binary answers to 72 questions could produce the same result with so much time elapsed between tests.

    "Other ENFP'ers include Mark Twain, Bill Cosby, Oprah Winfrey, Betty Friedan."

    "Life is an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for good and evil and I want to experience all of the fascinating events and people in the world, y'see?"
  • INFJ 4eva
    We are the 1% (of personalities tested)

    "Quietly forceful" or just kind of a weiner. I feel this so deeply.
  • Pay me some money and I will professionally administer the Meyers Briggs to you! (you only have to pay me because it costs money to buy the test forms)

    I am a total INTP.

    "INTPs live in the world of theoretical possibilities. They see everything in terms of how it could be improved, or what it could be turned into.

    They typically are so strongly driven to turn problems into logical explanations, that they live much of their lives within their own heads."

    YES.

    I think I'm strong on the I and T, not so much on the N and P. I'm pretty close to a J, actually.

    When we took these tests in class, everyone one was all, "We (therapists-to-be) are all a bunch of feelers! I bet we're 100% feelers!" and I was all, "Take your feelings and shove 'em. I hate feelings. I will do anything to avoid them. Maybe you all should use your *THINKERS* a little more to innovate and advance the science and practice of treating psychiatric disorders instead of just sitting around asking 'how does that make you feel?' all the time. Leave me alone. I'm leaving."

    I'm going to be a great therapist!

  • Mikey, can you please make a pie chart of us?
  • Flossy!!! I would be your patient for sure. I am highly feeling (ENFJ) but I really like turning feelings into logic. Like "how do you feel about that........NOW WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT THAT."

    In my ENFJ description I finally saw why I am so good at small talk with shitty racist republicans I don't like and then they end up thinking I'm great and I'm like "WHAT." It's weird to see this skill as the same skill that makes me a teacher, which is what the ENFJ description says. Relating to others, sometimes at the expense of making your own beliefs known! That's so crappy! But it is indeed how you teach a classroom full of 18 year olds, AND how you talk to republicans at your mother-in-law's weird dinner party.

    Today it says I'm an INFP but all my percentages are low. Seems like I could be totally different tomorrow.

    Hated the Yes or No. That should have been a question.

    (Now I can't stop 'TYPING' myself. Infinite recursion complex!)
  • Hated the Yes or No. That should have been a question.

    I was going to say the same thing... or a type of itself
  • I'd believe you are in the INFP club with me, Rich.
  • Let's dream quietly about tearing it up together, Marc!

    (I don't have any T)
  • Wait, why am I with all of the feelers in the thinking vs. feeling chart? Mikey, you did it on purpose! Why did you do that to me?
  • edited February 2012
    oops! sorry!!

    I WASN'T THINKING!
    Okay, fixed it!
  • I think there's a way to create a really fascinating Venn diagram but it sort of hurts my brain to contemplate exactly how.
  • Ok no I think it's possible you just have to use the 4th dimension.

    (+ 1 extra D)
  • Really surprised that Mike is introverted. Seems impossible! A thoughtful guy, but so outgoing.

    Regarding "S" Andy got ISFP.
  • Yeah, Mike is extroverted! I mean, he may not like "late night clubbing" but he's definitely outgoing. He should join me as an ENTJ.
  • I'm only outgoing to people I know or when I'm forced to be. I think I put myself in those situations a lot, but I hate them. I hate talking to strangers. Strangers are so stupid. I hate not knowing about them and you can't trust trust them for shit. They could be awesome or they could be a mean jerk. YOU CAN'T KNOW UNTIL YOU KNOW THEM BETTER.

    Why hasn't technology solved this problem yet?
  • Wow, this is a revelation. I always assumed you were a "getting to know the person sitting next to you on the plane" guy.
  • edited February 2012
    I vouch for M as an Introvert... I intuit/feel/perceive this
    His persona of an authority type guy is a useful tool to interact with people on his terms
  • (Totally agree.)
  • edited February 2012
    Wearing a suit on a plane is a great way to talk to strangers. Or I should say, GET TALKED TO BY STRANGERS.

    Also, I think I need to get in a knife fight and get a mean-looking scar on my face cause I feel like people ask me for directions more than other people. I suspect I have a "kind" face. Maybe I can use that to my advantage and con some tourists...

    Also getting stuck between a couple on the plane and neither of them wanting to take the middle seat to be next to each other!? WEIRDOS! But I chatted with them a lot and pretended to be more interested than I was. SMALL TALK.

    It's harder to indulge your introvertedness as a single.
  • It's harder to indulge your introvertedness with 1225 Facebook Friends.
  • I agree with LT. Mikey's extrovertedness hides a tender soul.
    He reveals himself primarily to those he already knows well. Perhaps his constant quest for connections and facebook friends is really all about wanting to know everyone so that there will be no more strangers to stress him out and annoy him.

    Together alone, alone together

    I also prefer friends to strangers but I am very comfortable with strangers. Hence: THE TEACHER. "Hello room full of random people I will never see again 3 months from now, let me explain a bunch of shit to you because I'm an egomaniac" = me

    Also agree that you have a kind face, Mike. I would ask you for directions.

  • Mike's tough exterior belies his tender hole.
  • edited February 2012
    Mike's extraversion is belied by its over-determined character. It is an introvert's idea of what extraversion would be like.

    "I have owned shares in the man.
    But have I seen his soul?"

  • We got no sensers on here because if we were all sensory and shit we'd be OUT IN THE WORLD, NOT ON THE INTERNET!!!
  • Graph:

    Plot point values on an X,Y,Z axis. Use a color scale for the fourth dimension.

    Now I'm all down with my INFP buds, Zuckerberg & Thread. We're gonna get inside the cosmic cube, lock all the doors, and TRANSFORM all y'alls' damn paradigm!

    (Of course, y'all probably won't notice.)
  • I'm a little late here but I am an ESFP! But my results are:
    moderately expressed extravert
    slightly expressed sensing personality
    distinctively expressed feeling personality
    slightly expressed perceiving personality

    Kind of "eh." I feel like the results are vague enough that if I took another version I might have different outcomes. Except for the F. I am a definite feeler.
