Personality inventory

[Guest]

I'm the same as Belegon and Cant. An ENFP.

You are:
-slightly expressed extrovert (22%)
-slightly expressed intuitive personality (22%)
-distinctively expressed feeling personality (67%)
-moderately expressed perceiving personality (33%)

Pretty emotional and intuitive, in other words. Sounds about right.

Oh, I have a "silly switch" which turns me into Captain Wildchild, who'da thought it? LOL!

Extraverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving
by Joe Butt

ENFPs are friendly folks. Most are really enjoyable people. Some of the most soft-hearted people are ENFPs.

ENFPs have what some call a "silly switch." They can be intellectual, serious, all business for a while, but whenever they get the chance, they flip that switch and become CAPTAIN WILDCHILD, the scourge of the swimming pool, ticklers par excellence. Som etimes they may even appear intoxicated when the "switch" is flipped.

One study has shown that ENFPs are significantly overrepresented in psychodrama. Most have a natural propensity for role-playing and acting.

ENFPs like to tell funny stories, especially about their friends. This penchant may be why many are attracted to journalism. I kid one of my ENFP friends that if I want the sixth fleet to know something, I'll just tell him.

ENFPs are global learners. Close enough is satisfactory to the ENFP, which may unnerve more precise thinking types, especially with such things as piano practice ("three quarter notes or four ... what's the difference?") Amazingly, some ENFPs are adept at exacting disciplines such as mathematics.

Friends are what life is about to ENFPs, moreso even than the other NFs. They hold up their end of the relationship, sometimes being victimized by less caring individuals. ENFPs are energized by being around people. Some have real difficulty being alone , especially on a regular basis.

One ENFP colleague, a social worker, had such tremendous interpersonal skills that she put her interviewers at ease during her own job interview. She had the ability to make strangers feel like old friends.

ENFPs sometimes can be blindsided by their secondary Feeling function. Hasty decisions based on deeply felt values may boil over with unpredictable results. More than one ENFP has abruptly quit a job in such a moment.


Blimey, all I have read about this persoanlity type is very accurate for me. Fascinating. Cheers, RG!

INTP Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving

with a heavy emphasis on N

But the two example descriptions of INTPs felt pretty off base for me.

Is this the Meyers-Briggs? It seems like it. The header is a little confusing. I wouldn't put too much faith in this personality test.

Even if it is a simplified M/B... its not going to be terribly accurate. Better to go with the Big 5 PI. Something based on it.

That may be, but we're having way too much fun to care!

I bet there's a J in your personality.

 

[rgraham666]

This is what resonated the most in the INFP description.

Healers have a profound sense of idealism derived from a strong personal morality, and they conceive of the world as an ethical, honorable place. Indeed, to understand Healers, we must understand their idealism as almost boundless and selfless, inspiring them to make extraordinary sacrifices for someone or something they believe in. The Healer is the Prince or Princess of fairytale, the King's Champion or Defender of the Faith, like Sir Galahad or Joan of Arc. Healers are found in only 1 percent of the general population, although, at times, their idealism leaves them feeling even more isolated from the rest of humanity.

Italics are mine.

And that really does describe me. I really do have faith, and I try to spread and defend it tirelessly.

ENFJ
distinctively expressed extrovert

moderately expressed intuitive personality

distinctively expressed feeling personality

moderately expressed judging personality

dont know if i agree with judging.. i think that misses the mark but...this fits me to a T
ENFJs know and appreciate people. Like most NFs, (and Feelers in general), they are apt to neglect themselves and their own needs for the needs of others. They have thinner psychological boundaries than most, and are at risk for being hurt or even abused by less sensitive people. ENFJs often take on more of the burdens of others than they can bear.

thanks for that rg. it was eye opening first thing this am.

ISFP............again

I went on a Myers-Briggs weekend, years back, as part of a group I belonged to. We did a word-association test the first evening, which was used to determine the four identifiers of our personality. It was a much more in-depth examination of our psyches than this, but it came up with basically the same conclusion. I know I'm introverted, but to a woman, every person at that weekend (all of whom knew me pretty well, even my closest friend), were astounded to hear I came out as introverted. Guess, like my momma said, I should have been on the stage.

Now that I'm awake, and reasonably alert, I looked a bit deeper into this one:

Distinctly expressed introvert
Slightly expressed sensing personality
Moderately expressed feeling personality
Slightly expressed perceiving personality

And apparently, my ideal companion (the 'performer', to my 'composer'), is an ISTP.......*sigh*....ain't seen one here yet.

But I did notice........Cloudy is a performer artisan.....wanna see if we get along, gorgeous????

Which reminds me.......*post new thread while I think of it*

Well, well . . . last year at this time I took the Myers-Briggs for a job, yes for a job, and it concluded that I was and INTJ, heavy on intuituve and thinking. The more indepth analysis is different than what has been posted here. But no point in discussing it because this year, taking this mini-test, I am an ENTJ, heavy on the NT.

The highlights I found amusing for "ENTJ's, Portrait of a Fieldmarshall" are:

may unleash an icy gaze that serves notice: the ENTJ is NOT one to be trifled with.

fieldmarshals root out and reject ineffectiveness and inefficiency, and are impatient with repetition of error.

capable of living on a higher plane, if you will, and learning to value individuals even above their principles.

When it be awake, feeling evokes great passion that knows not nuance of proportion nor context.

benevolent 'pedagogues' of humanity. Many are drawn into their grand schemes.

QUOTE: "I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?"

TRADEMARK: -- "I'm really sorry you have to die."

LOL thought that last quote funny.

Pal:INTJ
Complement: ENTP

So far, I'm the only ISFP.

Nope, so am I.

 

[Marsipanne]

Your Type is:
ENTJ

Extroverted Intuitive Thinking Judging

You are:

moderately expressed extrovert

very expressed intuitive personality

moderately expressed thinking personality

slightly expressed judging personality

Apparently I'm a field-marshal. I'm not a particularly strong leader (I don't think). I think that my 'extrovert' bit comes from my chatterbox nature mainly. I open up to people quite easily. Hmm, maybe I should try and exploit my 'leadership' skills. You know, I've got a shot at becoming a megalomaniac. I'm already an egomaniac, so I'm one step there.


eta: just saw one thing about the description--apparently I'm good at conveying my ideas. This is very true. In fact, if I ever became a salesperson/PR person I'd be the best one out there. I am very convincing and persuasive. Thing is, I have no wish to be one of those.

Nope, so am I.

Yea! You, Mat, Tony and me. Nice company. P.

Yea! You, Mat, Tony and me. Nice company. P.

Well I'm very comfortable with that company!

INTJ - Introverted Intuitive Thinking Judging

You are:

* moderately expressed introvert
* moderately expressed intuitive personality
* moderately expressed thinking personality
* moderately expressed judging personality

Mastermind, eh?

 

[Virtual_Burlesque]

Does this sound like me?

I don’t THINK so!

Neither my best friend nor my worst enemy would call me introverted.

Boisterous is more likely!




INFP = Introverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving

INFPs never seem to lose their sense of wonder. One might say they see life through rose-colored glasses. It's as though they live at the edge of a looking-glass world where mundane objects come to life, where flora and fauna take on near-human qualities.

INFP children often exhibit this in a 'Calvin and Hobbes' fashion, switching from reality to fantasy and back again. With few exceptions, it is the NF child who readily develops imaginary playmates (as with Anne of Green Gables's "bookcase girlfriend"--her own reflection) and whose stuffed animals come to life like the Velveteen Rabbit and the Skin Horse:

"...Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand..." (the Skin Horse)

INFPs have the ability to see good in almost anyone or anything. Even for the most unlovable the INFP is wont to have pity.

A definite extrovert. If it had come out as that, you'd be the same as me, an ENFP. Take comfort in that, at least.

Something like that...

I seem to have done something like this test before.

intP here,
like Lauren en Liar.

Introverted Intuitive Thinking Perceiving
slightly expressed introvert 11%
moderately expressed intuitive personality 44%
slightly expressed thinking personality 11%
very expressed perceiving personality 78%

INTPs are pensive, analytical folks. They may venture so deeply into thought as to seem detached, and often actually are oblivious to the world around them.
Absolutely correct, to the annoyance of my nearest and dearest.
Precise about their descriptions, INTPs will often correct others (or be sorely tempted to) if the shade of meaning is a bit off. While annoying to the less concise, this fine discrimination ability gives INTPs so inclined a natural advantage as, for example, grammarians and linguists.
Your typical language teacher. LOL

Mathematics is a system where many INTPs love to play, similarly languages, computer systems--potentially any complex system. INTPs thrive on systems. Understanding, exploring, mastering, and manipulating systems can overtake the INTP's conscious thought. This fascination for logical wholes and their inner workings is often expressed in a detachment from the environment, a concentration where time is forgotten and extraneous stimuli are held at bay. Accomplishing a task or goal with this knowledge is secondary.
Yup, trying to figure out how to upgrade the computer with my own hands. Finding out! I love that.

[color=dark-blue] The Champion Idealists are abstract in thought and speech, cooperative in accomplishing their aims, and informative and extraverted when relating with others. For Champions, nothing occurs which does not have some deep ethical significance, and this, coupled with their uncanny sense of the motivations of others, gives them a talent for seeing life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil. This type is found in only about 3 percent of the general population, but they have great influence because of their extraordinary impact on others. Champions are inclined to go everywhere and look into everything that has to do with the advance of good and the retreat of evil in the world. They can't bear to miss out on what is going on around them; they must experience, first hand, all the significant social events that affect our lives. And then they are eager to relate the stories they've uncovered, hoping to disclose the "truth" of people and issues, and to advocate causes. This strong drive to unveil current events can make them tireless in conversing with others, like fountains that bubble and splash, spilling over their own words to get it all out.

Champions consider intense emotional experiences as being vital to a full life, although they can never quite shake the feeling that a part of themselves is split off, uninvolved in the experience. Thus, while they strive for emotional congruency, they often see themselves in some danger of losing touch with their real feelings, which Champions possess in a wide range and variety. In the same vein, Champions strive toward a kind of spontaneous personal authenticity, and this intention always to "be themselves" is usually communicated nonverbally to others, who find it quite attractive. All too often, however, Champions fall short in their efforts to be authentic, and they tend to heap coals of fire on themselves, berating themselves for the slightest self-conscious role-playing.

They are proud of themselves in the degree they are empathic in action, respect themselves in the degree they are benevolent, and feel confident of themselves in the degree they are authentic. Idealist types search for their unique identity, hunger for deep and meaningful relationships, wish for a little romance each day, trust their intuitive feelings implicitly, aspire for profundity.

Social relationships: In their family interactions they strive for mutuality, provide spiritual intimacy for the mates, opportunity for fantasy for their children, and for themselves continuous self-renewal.

The fugh???

INFP (100/56/11/11)

INFPs never seem to lose their sense of wonder. One might say they see life through rose-colored glasses. It's as though they live at the edge of a looking-glass world where mundane objects come to life, where flora and fauna take on near-human qualities.

I may have used to way back when, but I'm a bit more cynical now. However I agree with the following statements:

INFP children often exhibit this in a 'Calvin and Hobbes' fashion, switching from reality to fantasy and back again...Some INFPs have a gift for taking technical information and putting it into layman's terms. Brendan Kehoe's Zen and the Art of the Internet is one example of this "de-jargoning" talent in action...INFPs live primarily in a rich inner world of introverted Feeling. Being inward-turning, the natural attraction is away from world and toward essence and ideal...Doing a good deed, for example, may provide intrinsic satisfaction which is only secondary to the greater good of striking a blow against Man's Inhumanity to Mankind.

But there are also things I agree with on other personalities:

INTPs are pensive, analytical folks. They may venture so deeply into thought as to seem detached, and often actually are oblivious to the world around them.

This one of a different personality has some truth in that I do that absent-minded professor thing a lot.

I agree with this statement from a completely different personality (INTJ):

This in turn produces an unusual independence of mind, freeing the INTJ from the constraints of authority, convention, or sentiment for its own sake.

Same here:

INFJs are not easily led. These are the people that you can rarely fool any of the time. Though affable and sympathetic to most, INFJs are selective about their friends . Such a friendship is a symbiotic bond that transcends mere words.

Basically the only thing that sticks is the IN and still there are things I don't agree with forcing me to pick and choose my personality. (I have no box to confine me to acceptable human characteristics, oh no!)

So maybe I should just be a FUCK (Fucked Up Crazy Kook) instead.

-IN?? Demon Class VI

P.S. Where's the sarcastic punk questions? I'm being denied a big part of my personality here.
