Wow, I didn't think I'd have such a tough time with this. In each of the four areas I cross over to both extremes in different definers. I guess I'd be INTP, but the margin of error is so close in all areas, I could go exactly opposite if you asked me tomorrow.

INTP
http://www.wsc.edu/advising/program/career/personality/intp.html

"natural ability to focus and get "into the zone" when working on a problem."
reminds me of when i was programming as a preparation for my exam. I had to use an alarm clock to make sure i ate and took a break every few hours.

"refusing to deal with repetitious or mundane projects " That's me

I really dislike the Myers-Briggs test!
I've taken it a couple of times, and I came out differently the two times I took it. In the real test, you don't choose your own categories, you answer a series of questions that are supposed to determine your "true personality".
The problem is, I find I respond differently in different situations, so I can't give one answer that applies to all the different areas of my life. I'm also sceptical about the assumption that we all have an underlying "true personality" which has been overlaid by acquired behaviour patterns. I'm not too keen on Jungian psychology either; Myers and Briggs based their four-scale model on a three-scale model by Jung.
There are more than sixteen different kinds of people!
Sorry for the rant.

I'm borderline EVERYTHING. I got less than 5% deviation from any personality on all of my previously taken tests. I'm flexible!

This is very frustrating because of the into-extrovert thing, where I am energized by interaction with people but simultaneously drained by having to maintain a public face: I often need to retreat and be by myself for extended periods of time after long hours of working with the public or family members even. Take away the public for too long and I get very antsy and in need of human contact.

I guess this manifests itself in interesting ways; I am one of the few gamers it seems who has NO interest whatsoever in MMORPGs. I play video games not because I'm a loser with no friends, I play video games because I'm anti-social and don't WANT friends! ;)

At the same time I weekly hold LAN parties with my friends so we can get together and frag each other to work off work stress.

Good for you, Nick! Deny the validity of the evil Myers-Briggs test, and the shackles it places on human personality!
I have that same intro-extro thing. I need other people sometimes, and get a boost from being around them, but need to be on my own to recharge at others.

In truth, I'm not denying its validity at all, just pointing out that my own personality fits between all or most of the catagories. There are bound to be exceptions and gray areas in rules such as these. If you think about it, the cycles of intro-extroversion we describe might actually support the theory, since they seem to indicate two entirely different states of mind.

I'm not saying there's nothing valid in Myers-Briggs or the related tests, I just reckon they can do more harm than good if approached in the wrong way. They can imply to a person that personal change is impossible, and shouldn't be attempted.

Point, point. You've got a point there all right. I suppose my "all of the above" placement didn't give me much perspective on that. Rather than being set in my ways, I'm dismayed by the myriad of choices open to me. Food for thought I suppose.

I'm very similar to you in that way. I'm actually a very social person. Can start and carry on conversations with almost anyone, but I rarely ever want to. I quit the mmorpg's I use to play when I got to where I never wanted to talk to other people in the game, started another one where you can go Do Not Disturb.. but.. bleh. why pay a monthly fee to go around avoiding the rest of the people in the game. Now I just play on my pc, and visit forums when I feel like interacting on the net.

I have only taken personality tests twice when I have been bored and not camed up with anything better to do. I didn't expect it to be accurate at all, after the previous test I took which was so inaccurate that I found it mildly amusing.

According to this test however, I'm clearly an INTP. There was no doubt about any of the choices, and the description on the information page looked nearly like a perfect description of my personality. :eek:

Narcissists only need the existence of other people, to remind us how great we are. But I don't think actual extraversion is necessary.

I like this, discussing personality is probably better for us two than politics/economics.

Life as an ENTJ ********
(Extravert, Intuitive, Thinker, Judger) ********

People of this type tend to be: friendly, strong willed, and outspoken; honest, logical and demanding of selves and others; driven to demonstrate competence; creative with a global perspective; decisive, organized, and efficient.

The most important thing to ENTJs is demonstrating their competence and making important things happen.




ENTJ



Extravert, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging
ENTJs represent approximately 5% of the American population.

ENTJs are natural born leaders. They live in a world of possibilities where they see all sorts challenges to be surmounted, and they want to be the ones responsible for surmounting them. They make decisions quickly, and are quick to verbalize their opinions and decisions to the rest of the world. ENTJs love to interact with people. As Extroverts, they're energized and stimulated primarily externally. There's nothing more enjoyable and satisfying to the ENTJ than having a lively, challenging conversation. They especially respect people who are able to stand up to the ENTJ, and argue persuasively for their point of view. There aren't too many people who will do so, however, because the ENTJ is a very forceful and dynamic presence who has a tremendous amount of self-confidence and excellent verbal communication skills. Even the most confident individuals may experience moments of self-doubt when debating a point with an ENTJ (1,2,8).

ENTJs are very career-focused, and fit into the corporate world quite naturally. They are constantly scanning their environment for potential problems which they can turn into solutions. They generally see things from a long-range perspective, and are usually successful at identifying plans to turn problems around - especially problems of a corporate nature. ENTJs are usually successful in the business world, because they are so driven to leadership. They're tireless in their efforts on the job, and driven to visualize where an organization is headed. For these reasons, they are natural corporate leaders.

ENTP
Extravert, Intuitive, Thinking, Perceiving
ENTPs represent approximately 5% of the American population.

ENTPs are exciting, enthusiastic, friendly, amusing, outgoing, and talkative people. They generally understand things quickly and with great depth, allowing them to be flexible and adapt well to a wide range of tasks. ENTPs are visionaries and their perceptive abilities allow them to see possibilities everywhere. They get excited and enthusiastic about their ideas, and are able to spread their enthusiasm to others. However, they are less interested in developing plans of action or making decisions than they are in generating possibilities and ideas. Following through on the implementation of an idea is usually a chore to the ENTP. They are fluent conversationalists, mentally quick, and enjoy verbal sparring with others. They love to debate issues, and may even switch sides sometimes just for the love of the debate (1,2,8).

Although the ENTP is more interested in absorbing information than in making decisions, they are quite rational and logical in reaching conclusions. When they apply Thinking to their Intuitive perceptions, the outcome can be very powerful indeed. A well-developed ENTP is extremely visionary, inventive, and
enterprising (1,2,8).

INFJ
Introvert, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging
INFJs represent approximately 1% of the American population.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


INFJs place great importance on having things orderly and systematic in their outer world. They put a lot of energy into identifying the best system for getting things done, and constantly define and redefine the priorities in their lives. On the other hand, INFJs operate within themselves on an intuitive basis which is entirely spontaneous. They know things intuitively, without being able to pinpoint why, and without detailed knowledge of the subject at hand. They are usually right, and they usually know it. Consequently, INFJs put a tremendous amount of faith into their instincts and intuitions. This is something of a conflict between the inner and outer worlds, and may result in the INFJ not being as organized as other Judging types tend to be. Or we may see some signs of disarray in an otherwise orderly tendency, such as a consistently messy desk (1,2,8).

INFJs have uncanny insight into people and situations. They get "feelings" about things and intuitively understand them. As an extreme example, some of them report experiences of a psychic nature, such as getting strong feelings about there being a problem with a loved one, and discovering later that they were in a car accident. This is the sort of thing that other types may scorn and scoff at, and the INFJs often don't understand their intuition at a level which can be verbalized. Consequently, most INFJs are protective of their inner selves, sharing only what they choose to share when they choose to share it. They are deep, complex individuals, who are quite private and typically difficult to understand. INFJs hold back part of themselves, and can be secretive. INFJs are sensitive, reserved, intense, creative, conceptual, concerned, compassionate individuals (1,2,8).

An INFJs Career Choice Should Probably Include...


Using their intense inner vision, ability to establish harmonious relationships with others, and their skills in oral and written communication to obtain their goals.
Work that they believe in which allows them to use their imagination and creativity daily.
A caring and supportive environment where they are encouraged to learn, grow and develop their talents and skills.
Human contact and working with abstraction, symbols, and imagination.
The opportunity to work on a variety of issues, creating new programs, services, or solutions to challenging problems that help others.
A position where creativity and tending to human development are their primary focus.
An environment where their integrity is respected and where they are appreciated for their unique contributions.
Plenty of time to prepare and produce work they are proud of, organize their own time, and retain control and responsibility for their projects.
A position that does not entail a great deal of technical, hands-on work work or attention to details.
An INFJs Strengths are...

INFJs are complex, creative people with deep feelings and strong convictions that guide their lives. They are fascinated with original ways of looking at the world and are inspired by innovation and the chance to solve problems in creative ways. They are good at leading others toward positive changes with their gentle yet unswerving example. INFJs use their own inner vision to find meaning and new possibilities all around them (1,2,7,8).

Often somewhat reserved, INFJs have a capacity for great warmth and empathy but are most comfortable sharing those feelings once they feel they know the person. They are thoughtful and careful decision makers, often needing plenty of time to reflect on issues in depth and consider the many implications before taking action. Bound by their convictions, INFJs are people of great integrity, willing to face resistance from others without backing down. They value harmony and cooperation and use praise and affirmation to motivate and win the loyalties of others (1,2,7,8).

INFJs are good at...

understanding how others are feeling
being insightful and seeing new ways, that are not obvious to others, of approaching problems
using their creativity and encouraging it in others
always striving for the best
Expressing ideas in ways that excite and inspire others
understanding complicated issues and simplifying them for others
grasping difficult ideas and concepts
creating and maintaining a harmonious and caring team spirit
seeing problems from many different angles
listening to the concerns of others and helping them see alternatives
An INFJs Weaknesses are...

Because INFJs are so committed to their ideas and vision, even when others disagree, they can be stubborn and single minded. They are much more excited by their own ideas and may not bother to notice the realities around them. They can become frustrated when they finally realize that their ideas are not workable. They are least interested in details and need to pay close attention to their facts to avoid making mistakes in judgment (1,2,7,8).

Since INFJs are very aware of the feelings of others, they are sensitive to criticism and adversely affected by unresolved tension or unhappiness. Because INFJs have such passionate feelings, they can be very strong-willed and may run the risk of being judgmental and riled in their views. Once they've made up their minds, they sometimes have trouble seeing any conflicting information (1,2,7,8).

Things to watch out for...

The agreeable nature and quiet personality of INFJs makes them particularly vulnerable to hurt feelings. Distress within close relationships can shatter the INFJ. Like all NFs under stress, INFJs feel fragmented and lost — as if they are acting out a part rather than simply being themselves. This disassociation can be related to physical symptoms for the INFJ, whether real or imagined. Feeling split off from their physical natures, INFJs may become virtually immobilized by repressed feelings (1,2,7,8).

Although INFJs may feel like remaining still and stationary until the chaos and confusion of a stressful situation dissipates, it would be best for them to actively sort out their needs from others. Being excessively cooperative and agreeable, the INFJ has a tendency to adopt values and beliefs of others as their own. When external conflicts grow, so does the INFJ's sense of personal disharmony. Disassociating themselves from others takes a great deal of effort for the INFJ (1,2,7,8). Other concerns to watch for:

being cuttingly derisive and sarcastic towards others
spending more time considering possibilities than acting on them
ignoring the less interesting but important practical concerns
not admitting an error and resisting changing directions when appropriate
quickly dismissing input from others without really considering it
holding grudges and having difficulty forgiving people
focusing only on personal goals and missing other opportunities along the way
expressing personal values in ways that pass judgment on others
being inflexible about plans and arrangements
Developmental Needs: It is important for INFJs to become more active in both giving and accepting constructive criticism instead of seeking harmony above all else. Ideas that conflict with their values should be reviewed for merit instead of being dismissed out of hand. They need to consider a full range of facts, figures, and problems and avoid a single-minded concentration on personal vision.

ENFP. Iv'e taken this test numerous times and it always ends up the same for me, although I do carry some traits from all the catagories.

I'm definitely an all play no working hedonistic individual. I do work hard when I have to though.

I don't really fit a type. In most tests I fall pretty much in the middle between I and E, slightly over towards N, F, and near the middle between J and P.

So I guess I'm a

I/ENFJ/P

Life as an ENTJ ********
(Extravert, Intuitive, Thinker, Judger) ********

People of this type tend to be: friendly, strong willed, and outspoken; honest, logical and demanding of selves and others; driven to demonstrate competence; creative with a global perspective; decisive, organized, and efficient.

The most important thing to ENTJs is demonstrating their competence and making important things happen.




ENTJ



Extravert, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging
ENTJs represent approximately 5% of the American population.

ENTJs are natural born leaders. They live in a world of possibilities where they see all sorts challenges to be surmounted, and they want to be the ones responsible for surmounting them. They make decisions quickly, and are quick to verbalize their opinions and decisions to the rest of the world. ENTJs love to interact with people. As Extroverts, they're energized and stimulated primarily externally. There's nothing more enjoyable and satisfying to the ENTJ than having a lively, challenging conversation. They especially respect people who are able to stand up to the ENTJ, and argue persuasively for their point of view. There aren't too many people who will do so, however, because the ENTJ is a very forceful and dynamic presence who has a tremendous amount of self-confidence and excellent verbal communication skills. Even the most confident individuals may experience moments of self-doubt when debating a point with an ENTJ (1,2,8).

ENTJs are very career-focused, and fit into the corporate world quite naturally. They are constantly scanning their environment for potential problems which they can turn into solutions. They generally see things from a long-range perspective, and are usually successful at identifying plans to turn problems around - especially problems of a corporate nature. ENTJs are usually successful in the business world, because they are so driven to leadership. They're tireless in their efforts on the job, and driven to visualize where an organization is headed. For these reasons, they are natural corporate leaders.
