Personality Test

Re: Personality Test

INTJ

Introvert(19%) iNtuitive(25%) Thinking(3%) Judging(31%)
•You have slight preference of Introversion over Extraversion (19%)
•You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (25%)
•You have marginal or no preference of Thinking over Feeling (3%)
•You have moderate preference of Judging over Perceiving (31%)


Though I thought that some of the questions were a bit ridiculous...
"You would rather A than B."
-- Um, no I would rather both A and B, they both matter and need to be weighed concurrently. what, that's not an option?



This part, though seems to fit really well:

"pragmatism so characteristic of the type: INTJs apply (often ruthlessly) the criterion "Does it work?" to everything from their own research efforts to the prevailing social norms. This in turn produces an unusual independence of mind, freeing the INTJ from the constraints of authority, convention, or sentiment for its own sake."


at the end it says since my T and F are so close I might also have characteristics of INFJ.

Re: Personality Test

ENTJ...

I know I'm an extrovert... but I'm bad at it with a heavy dose of anxiety. Nonetheless, an unskilled extrovert. No particular item in extremis... all labeled as "slight". I know my take on things have shifted over the last couple of years but that's been due to issues that have kept me from being 100%.

20 years ago I participated in a week long seminar. 12 men, 12 women. We all took the Myers Briggs.

The next day when the results came out, all 12 men were "I" and all 12 women were "E". One woman freaked out, claiming that under no circumstances was she an "E" and demanding the opportunity to take it again. Oddly enough, she was a television news reporter, and pretty clearly an "E".

I think some people just spend so much time being "E" on a professional basis that when it comes time to being "yourself" you've exhausted your "E" and need some "I" time. So, that builds the perception. I dunno, I think if somebody were naturally an "I" (growing up) then they'd know it... an "I" would have to take on a lot of extra work to be in an "E" discipline.
 
Re: Personality Test

ISFJ
Introvert(75%) Sensing(16%) Feeling(3%) Judging(6%)

Because you appear to have marginal or no (3%) preference of Feeling over Thinking, characteristics of more than one personality type may apply to you:
ISFJ and ISTJ.

I remember one time I took it, it came up ISXJ, with no differentiation between F and P. Which is pretty much what this is saying.
 
I'm on r/intj and somebody asked which self help book they should read. This was my answer, for any fellow INTJ (or OCEAN equivalent) sufferers out there.

No self improvement book will help you; you're an INTJ -- you're way beyond them.

If you insist on a book, I'd recommend the Myth of Sisyphus by Camus. But mostly because that's just a really good book.

The advice I give you is learn to distinguish the models and intellectualization you are talented at from real life. What you are best able to do as an INJT -- your superpower -- is build abstractions and imagine ways the world could make sense that are logically consistent and fit empirical observation. This is helpful, but it is also just in your head. You will be tempted to think you have found actual answers about real life, and apply those to people, but you haven't. Real life is individual human beings, one at a time, defying generalizations and concepts. So don't let the worms in your head impress you too much. They are only ever provisional, and they only make sense in the context of your briefly held particular purposes. After that, just let them recede again. You'll make others.

Don't believe in what you imagine; just use it. For real life, pay attention to people and treat them gently -- especially yourself.
 
And also remember that the Myers-Briggs personality test is about as empirically-based as the generations you hate. That said, I’m also an INTJ.

It's worse. At least generations actually have a birth year underneath them to point to, even if it is meaningless.

Big Five is supposed to be better. I dunno, it all seems like cold reading to me.
