I wasn't targeting this test but instead targeting all personality tests in general. Also what exactly is your definition of socializing? Is meeting up with 20 people in an online chat room in Xfire technically being in a large social group or is it just talking with internet people? See there is one of the flaws being different points of view. Again a third fixed party is needed to make these more accurate.theklng said:
Also since I need to loosen up a bit I'll just turn the argument into an advertisement for a game that populates the internet. Here goes.
Personality Test!
Now for the PC!
Features include:
--Making your own character!
--Belong to 4 Guilds!
--UP TO 16 LIFE LIKE CLASSES!
If you want I can edit that out.
naturally we have different definitions, but there will eventually be some common ground, or we'd be unable to communicate entirely. the discovery and popularization of the internet is a new one. personalities may vary over the internet as people tend to find that there are no limits, no boundaries. this test (among others) was created before the time of the internet, and may be obsolete in terms of online analysis. that was never the point of the thread, however. the point was to find out how many of what types were found on this forum.Mercanary57 said:
in other words: this test was supposed to reflect how you act in life, not how you act on the internet, as internet persona and normal personalities can be entirely different.
Okay then I will agree with you on two things.theklng said:
1.Is the common ground.
2.That was never the point of this forum.
So I will stop being an idiot and stop arguing as I will assume that this is just getting tiresome for both of us.
According to the test, I'm INTJ 100/88/50/78
That's pretty much how I scored on the previous times that I have taken similar tests. I've had to learn to compensate for being so introverted in order to do many of the jobs I've done, but being alone is still more comfortable for me.
I am pretty Intuitive. I seem to have the ability to guess or have a strong feeling about how something will turn out before it happens. Not ESP, mind you, but my predictions are usually right.
I do spend a lot of time thinking about things. I always feel better about a big decision if I've taken the time to think it over. I really like shows, magazine articles, websites, games, books etc. that encourage me to use my imagination or really think about something. I think that's why I like turn-based strategy games so much.
I've noticed that I do pass judgement on a lot of things and people. When I hear about something happening, I usually can make a judgement call about it pretty quickly. I'm a good judge of character too. I told my sister her boyfriend was no good when she first started dating him, for example. She didn't listen and married him. Now, they are divorced and she agrees with me that he was really lousy.

Myers-Briggs is only marginally more valuable than asking someone their astrological sign.
That said, I'm an INTP/Architect (funny how we tend to congregate on Internet message boards in far greater numbers than our representation in the population at large) and a Cancer.

i disagree on the notion of astronomical signs. there's a reason why this test is widely employed in both recruiting and psychology. i could tell you what inherit difference there is in some people and what makes e.g. societies work the way they do (based off this test).SimuLord said:
INFJ/Councelor
I was suprised how well those descriptions matched myself
Counselors have an exceptionally strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others, and find great personal fulfillment interacting with people, nurturing their personal development, guiding them to realize their human potential. Although they are happy working at jobs (such as writing) that require solitude and close attention, Counselors do quite well with individuals or groups of people, provided that the personal interactions are not superficial, and that they find some quiet, private time every now and then to recharge their batteries. Counselors are both kind and positive in their handling of others; they are great listeners and seem naturally interested in helping people with their personal problems. Not usually visible leaders, Counselors prefer to work intensely with those close to them, especially on a one-to-one basis, quietly exerting their influence behind the scenes.
Counselors are scarce, little more than one percent of the population, and can be hard to get to know, since they tend not to share their innermost thoughts or their powerful emotional reactions except with their loved ones. They are highly private people, with an unusually rich, complicated inner life. Friends or colleagues who have known them for years may find sides emerging which come as a surprise. Not that Counselors are flighty or scattered; they value their integrity a great deal, but they have mysterious, intricately woven personalities which sometimes puzzle even them.
Counselors tend to work effectively in organizations. They value staff harmony and make every effort to help an organization run smoothly and pleasantly. They understand and use human systems creatively, and are good at consulting and cooperating with others. As employees or employers, Counselors are concerned with people's feelings and are able to act as a barometer of the feelings within the organization.
Blessed with vivid imaginations, Counselors are often seen as the most poetical of all the types, and in fact they use a lot of poetic imagery in their everyday language. Their great talent for language-both written and spoken-is usually directed toward communicating with people in a personalized way. Counselors are highly intuitive and can recognize another's emotions or intentions - good or evil - even before that person is aware of them. Counselors themselves can seldom tell how they came to read others' feelings so keenly. This extreme sensitivity to others could very well be the basis of the Counselor's remarkable ability to experience a whole array of psychic phenomena.
Mohandas Gandhi, Sidney Poitier, Eleanor Roosevelt, Jane Goodall, Emily Bronte, Sir Alec Guiness, Carl Jung, Mary Baker Eddy, Queen Noor are examples of the Counselor Idealist (INFJ).

Pardon *me* for actually using my *brain*. Isn't this a *spectactularly* poor way to collect data by any standards? I mean, you can't even claim random selection because the people who respond to the thread are self-selecting.theklng said:
If this is what you call research, you *deserve* to be locked.
As for my type, I get something different every time I take a test of this type. The first time I took it some years ago, I was INTJ. The second time (at work), ENTJ. Now I'm ESFJ. Some test.

I dont know though, lots of people think they can do this, they can do that and always shrug and say yes to a question in the gray area (ex. Are you good with people?)

i had expected criticism for doing this; skeptics are everywhere and usually they think their judgment is final. there was a time where i actually cared about what people said, but i realized how much you would limit yourself by doing so. in other words, just because you have your opinion doesn't mean that it's "right" or "true", as far as subjective or logical comments go. keep in mind that i never said what i researched other than checking how much of an internet community is of a certain type; you have no idea on what or how i'm going to use these results.JMeganSnow said:
you want to call bullshit on things you don't understand fully? fine, go ahead. i have better things to do than to listen to you and your feeble arguments/judgments just because that's how you think, and because you want to confine yourself to an area where everything you do you think is "right" or "true".
i'm not going to respond to your posts further just because you think you're right in what you say. you've done enough to piss on this thread and on me, and you're not doing anyone good by posting further here. i even asked you to take it to PMs so that the thread wouldn't get derailed, but you've blatantly ignored that. i have nothing more to say to you.

Funny story. At my colledge, they made us take this test when you started and when you finished your degree. When I started, I was and ESTJ, like you. When I finished 6 years later with and advanced degree in chemistry, I was an INTJ. Shows that college can really change you. The biggest change was the E to I. My last 3 years of colledge were spent studing all the fraking time. But it was worth it.Vaash Vincent said:
it's not that weird really, with your 1% S, you're pretty close to being N. the test at first may give some more "extreme" results, but taking it numerous times will balance it out. it is very much dependent on the current state of mind.Sylocat said:
if you say you've gotten N before, i'd assume it'd be a low N, which would place you on the fence between S and N basically.
