Hey, y'all.  Having done some reading in psychology recently, I've been pondering what Myers-Briggs Personality Types people in the BT might tend to be.  So if you would be so kind as to take the test under the link below and then post your results, perhaps we can find a correlation between personality and predilection to spam/insanity.

For those of you who don't know much psychology- 

 

Have you ever heard someone describe themselves as an INTJ or an ESTP and wondered what those cryptic-sounding letters could mean? What these people are referring to is their personality type based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). The Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator is a self-inventory test designed to identify a person's personality type, strengths and preferences. The test was developed by Isabel Myers and her mother Katherine Briggs based on their work withCarl Jung's theory of personality types.

Today, the test is one of the most widely used psychological instruments in the world.

Overview of the Myers-Briggs Test

Based on the answers to the questions on the inventory, people are identified as having one of 16 personality types. The goal of the MBTI is to allow respondents to further explore and understand their own personalities including their likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, possible career preferences and compatibility with other people. No one personality type is "best" or "better" than any other one. It isn't a tool designed to look for dysfunction or abnormality. Instead, its goal is simply to help you learn more about yourself.

The test itself is made up of four different scales:

1. Extraversion (E) - Introversion (I): The extraversion-introversion dichotomy was first explored by Jung in his theory of personality types as a way to describe how people respond and interact with the world around them. While these terms are familiar to most people, the way in which they are used here differs somewhat from their popular usage. Extraverts are "outward-turning" and tend to be action-oriented, enjoy more frequent social interaction and feel energized after spending time with other people. Introverts are "inward-turning" and tend to be thought-oriented, enjoy deep and meaningful social interactions and feel recharged after spending time alone. We all exhibit extraversion and introversion to some degree, but most of us tend have an overall preference for one or the other.
3. Sensing (S) - Intuition (N): This scale involves looking at how people gather information from the world around them. Just like with extraversion and introversion, all people spend some time sensing and intuiting depending on the situation. According to the MBTI, people tend be dominant in one area or the other. People who prefer sensing tend to pay a great deal of attention to reality, particularly to what they can learn from their own senses. They tend to focus on facts and details and enjoy getting hands-on experience. Those who prefer intuition pay more attention to things like patterns and impressions. They enjoy thinking about possibilities, imagining the future and abstract theories.
4. 
   
5. Thinking (T) - Feeling (F): This scale focuses on how people make decisions based on the information that they gathered from their sensing or intuition functions. People who prefer thinking place a greater emphasis on facts and objective data. They tend to be consistent, logical and impersonal when weighing a decision. Those to prefer feeling are more likely to consider people and emotions when arriving at a conclusion.
6. 
   
7. Judging (J) - Perceiving (P): The final scale involves how people tend to deal with the outside world. Those who lean toward judging prefer structure and firm decisions. People who lean toward perceiving are more open, flexible and adaptable. These two tendencies interact with the other scales. Remember, all people at least spend some time extraverting. The judging-perceiving scale helps describe whether you extravert when you are taking in new information (sensing and intuiting) or when you are making decisions (thinking and feeling).

Each type is then listed by its four letter code:

• ISTJ
• ISTP
• ISFJ
• ISFP
• INFJ
• INFP
• INTJ
• INTP
• ESTP
• ESTJ
• ESFP
• ESFJ
• ENFP
• ENFJ
• ENTP
• ENTJ

 

 

 

 

ISTP

 

sounds mostly like me...

Ah, an ISTP!  No surprises there, this is the internet...  And the economical nature of your post layout seems to confirm it.

 

I'm hoping to find some rare specimens, maybe an ESFJ.  

I got an ISFJ.

I've taken it before several times. I'm an INFJ.

I'm not in the BT, but I love MBTI, it's a great system and super interesting. XD

 

I'm INFJ also Tress. :p

Hmmm. Interesting

 

INTJ

Introvert(89%)  iNtuitive(50%)  Thinking(75%)  Judging(89%)

I'm an ISTP apparentally. How'd I get a 1% though? XD

 

Introvert(67%) Sensing(1%) Thinking(38%) Perceiving(44%)

I'm an

 

ENFP

Extravert(67%)  iNtuitive(25%)  Feeling(50%)  Perceiving(33)%

 

(Is that good?)

INFJ

Introvert(67%) iNtuitive(25%) Feeling(12%) Judging(33%)

•You have distinctive preference of Introversion over Extraversion (67%)

•You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (25%)

•You have slight preference of Feeling over Thinking (12%)

•You have moderate preference of Judging over Perceiving (33%)

I have taken this test before and my result was INFP

*high5's Chuckles*

 

ENFP represent! And I took the quiz twice just to make sure..... woah. It is almost creepily scary how TRUE alot of that in the description is..... my soul hath been laid bare <.< >.>

 

:P
 

 

ENFP

Extravert(67%)  iNtuitive(12%)  Feeling(50%)  Perceiving(44)%

• You have distinctive preference of Extraversion over Introversion (67%)
• You have slight preference of Intuition over Sensing (12%)
• You have moderate preference of Feeling over Thinking (50%)
• You have moderate preference of Perceiving over Judging (44%)

Hi Kudaran!!!

 

INFJ

Introvert(44%)  iNtuitive(38%)  Feeling(25%)  Judging(56%)

• You have moderate preference of Introversion over Extraversion (44%)
• You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (38%)
• You have moderate preference of Feeling over Thinking (25%)
• You have moderate preference of Judging over Perceiving (56%)

 

I have changed since I was younger. If I had taken this test 15 years ago I bet I had been ISTJ. 

 

we iz awesome :nod:

INTJ

 

You have moderate preference of Introversion over Extraversion (56%)

You have slight preference of Intuition over Sensing (12%)

You have slight preference of Thinking over Feeling (12%)

You have distinctive preference of Judging over Perceiving (67%)

I'm an ISTP apparentally. How'd I get a 1% though? XD

 

Introvert(67%) Sensing(1%) Thinking(38%) Perceiving(44%)

sister power!!!

I haven't done it in awhile but pretty strongly INTP.

I took it again and its still same

INFP

Introvert(89%) iNtuitive(38%) Feeling(62%) Perceiving(78)%

You have strong preference of Introversion over Extraversion (89%)

You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (38%)

You have distinctive preference of Feeling over Thinking (62%)

You have strong preference of Perceiving over Judging (78%)

I'd like to see the mmpi-2 online but I don't think it's there...

I've taken it a couple of times, I'm an INFJ. The descriptions fit eerily.

Mine fits too well too. How can I test know that I have a big tendency of day dreaming and absent mindedness and about my sense of wonder

the multi-phasic?? probably somewhere.

 

INTP

Introvert(56%) iNtuitive(81%) Thinking(62%) Perceiving(44)%

• You have moderate preference of Introversion over Extraversion (56%)
• You have strong preference of Intuition over Sensing (81%)
• You have distinctive preference of Thinking over Feeling (62%)
• You have moderate preference of Perceiving over Judging (44%)

Just me and Locke, huh? all you touchy/feely people *shudders*

I'm INTP as well.  Have no worries, Tsukibana.  On the internets, we reign supreme. 

 

But I have no idea what's going on with INFJ's.  You're supposed to be one of the rarest types, and yet you seem to make up almost a third of the BT's population.  What gives!?

I know right?
