Personality Types

wedge1988wedge1988 Member Posts: 434 ■■■□□□□□□□
So, I have read a few threads here the last couple of months about "Compulsive Studying" The urge to study etc.. cant get away from the stuff... We want to get away but cant because we love it too much etc etc.

So, I took a personality test months ago, and i have been getting friends to take it. Interesting results, i think it would be good to see what you all are (And im sure you'd appreciate knowing too!)

Take it here:

Personality test based on Jung - Myers-Briggs typology

There are others out there but i find this the best to give people.

FYI: I am INTJ

:D

    Thanks for the link. I haven't taken a personality inventory since college. The results indicate I am a strong INTJ also.
    Excellence is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, skillful execution and the vision to see obstacles as opportunities.

    My ex girlfriend was a psych major who did these tests to everything that walked by with a pulse. I threw up in my mouth a little when I saw "ISTJ" and the others haha

    INTJ here. Interesting that Information Systems Specialist is one of the recommended careers for this type.

    ENTJ

    I dated a psychology major and have done many of these in the past. Nothing really insightful from the results.

    Actually study MBTI and you'll find some quite interesting stuff. Sure, knowing your own type is a big "duh", but knowing someone else's type is where it gets interesting.

    I'm a very strong INTP. We're an odd bunch. Very much "big picture", which is, at most times, not conducive to IT where a strong attention to detail is expected. I make a lot of checklists, as I totally forget all the details of pretty much anything, but I can remember the overall network architecture in full for jobs I worked years ago.

    I scored INTJ as well, I suspect that will likely be the majority result here :)

    Done several of these through the years and I'm still INTP. INTJ seems to be pretty prevalent in this post so far.
    No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.

    I'm an ENTP, I think. It's been awhile since I did one of the M-B tests.

    Edit: Apparently I'm an ENTJ today.

    We've never actually dated. He's just a shame-filled hookup. Getting with Dynamik is like getting with a fat chick. It's all good until your friends see you together icon_sad.gif

    ISTJ. Evidently I think a LOT and I don't feel or judge anything.

    Wow a large majority of us have I and J as our dominant personality types. This is interesting stuff, i had the feeling everybody here would have a simmilar line of personality.

    Since INTJ is only 1% of the worlds poulation then i can safely assume thats why IT is paid well (Cause there aint many more than INTJ that can do it) ;)

    Who has the patience?

    Your Type is ENFJ

    Extraverted Intuitive Feeling Judging
    78 38 62 1

    Qualitative analysis of your type formula

    You are:

    * very expressed extravert
    * moderately expressed intuitive personality
    * distinctively expressed feeling personality
    * slightly expressed judging personality

    At least my score has stayed consistent over the last ten years.

    Hi Guys,

    Curious here. I've done tons of research into personality types over the last few months i could switch careers to a psychologist or something...

    Anyways, what are you? I think it would be great to see how many of a certain type roam these boards. If you don't know it go here to find out and post it!

    Personality test based on Jung and Briggs Myers typology

    By the way, im: INTJ

    Yup, go figure ;)

    I've actually studied Jungian and Keirsey theories for years, and have several well-thumbed books on the stuff.

    I'm an extremely strong INTP / Architect(Keirsey typology).

    I've actually taken several of those tests and some of them have me as INTP and some as INTJ so I guess I'm Schizo type..lol
