LGBT and their MBTI.

I just had to make this thread.:)

For those who never heard of it before here's a link explaining it.

And the different types explained.

I love these! They're so accurate, the thing for INTJ describes me down to a T :P They have really long ones here

Last time I did one of these I was an INTJ. Describes me pretty well - on the list of suggested careers for INTJs (linked on the page Crayolastereo linked) basically every career I've ever considered is there.

INFJ

Mastermind, eh. INTJs are awesome. It's only a shame there's so few of them. I got INFP. A pretty rare type, which has a disportionate female majority-surprise surprise. INFPs are pretty cool too. We're dreamers but have a very high sense of idealism,(Probably why I'm such a Commie) though we are very sensitive. I have my INTJ moments too. I scored INTJ on one test but it was a crappy one. INFP describes me more accurately. And yes-they are incrediably accurate.

http://www.personalitypage.com/INFP.html

INFPs are flexible and laid-back, until one of their values is violated. In the face of their value system being threatened, INFPs can become aggressive defenders, fighting passionately for their cause.

I think you all witnessed that a few days ago.:P

ENTP

Did one of these before and I'm apparently an ENTJ. Which ties in with my occasional bouts of megalomania....

ISTJ

Got INTP

Seems to describe me pretty well I guess. I'm not actually surprised the 'Famous Personalities' included nuclear physicists like A. Sakharov and Einstein either.

It seems Carl Jung (Who designed that test) was also INTP!

Hmm... I'd apparently make a good computer programmer. Who knew?

Dr. Baltar

ENTP

The last time I did this I got an ENFP which is pretty much the life and soul of any party.
This time however, I got ENTJ. What the hell has changed?

Great thread! I consistently get INTP.

ISFJ

You could put this survey in any forum, just saw it in passing

Serious and quiet, interested in security and peaceful living. Extremely thorough, responsible, and dependable. Well-developed powers of concentration. Usually interested in supporting and promoting traditions and establishments. Well-organized and hard working, they work steadily towards identified goals. They can usually accomplish any task once they have set their mind to it

Tis me alright. Pretty conservative

INTP:

David Hilbert, James Clerk Maxwell, Emmy Noether, Andrey Sakharov

Oh hell yes! 2 physicists and 2 mathematicians. That Maths & Physics degree I've been doing (and complaining about) for the past 3 and a half years apparently does suit me after all! :pac:

INFP

Its interesting that for a group that makes up less than 1-2% of the world, there are like 3 INTJs here

Aard

ISTJ

If you take the most people with I vs E, N vs S, T vs F, and J vs P, the majority of the forum is, respectively: I, N, T, J. I wonder if my totally non-scientific hypothesis that the average gay is thus INTJ can be proved!

My MBTI is xNTJ.

My Jung type however is INFJ (Ni, Ti, Fe are my main functions). Weird type.

ENTP, yep that's me, arguing for the fun of it...

INFJ

INFP...not quite sure if "Healer" would most accurately describe me.

Killer_banana

ENFJ

ENFP. Seem fairly accurate description except I would nevercall myself an extravert.

Aard

ISTJ

The difference between extravert and introvert is that the former "gets energy" from being around people, whereas the latter would "spend energy". It doesn't necessarily have to do with being the centre of attention, as its usual sense implies.

intj (33/50/12/1-means little to me tho)

one of the questions:
'You are more interested in a general idea than in the details of its realization'

yep, i find it interesting, but gave up half way through:)

ENTP

I've been studying Carl Jung for two years now and this is a watered down version of his archetypes in his analytical psychology, this MBTI is nowhere near as applicable as Jungian Cognitive Functions. I can say that from all this studying a lot of people can convince themselves they're this way, the theory is a theory for a reason (it has some supporting facts), however people react to it the same way they do horoscopes etc. I also wouldn't take it seriously, Jung completely forgets about our environment and how our attitudes can be influenced by external factors. He thinks our personality is natural.

I don't agree, I only think our sexual preferences are natural and not affected by environment , our personalities our different though, right? Anyway, I don't recommend getting too much into the theory, I've seen quite a lot of people get delusional from it, if you want to understand people I don't recommend using this theory, especially not Myers Briggs, basically . Jung is a fascinating fellow, learn for the sake of learning instead of using it and taking it at face value to actually analyze people, maybe?

Edit: it's weird how many gay ENTJs and INTJs there are, this seems to be happening a lot .

ENFP

1.Were not using it to actually analyse anything, we're not taking it as gospel, its just a bit of craic.

2. So you say to take the archetypes with a pinch of salt and then comment on the results of a tiny poll with a biased response group as though they hold weight? Stop preaching and just take the thread for what it is.

I did this same test on another gay website and if I'm not mistaken over there I was alone in the INTJ category. More a reflection on the type of people this forum attracts I'd imagine.

Geez, why is everyone around here so pissy? Relax.

I'm just giving advise to anyone who's getting interested, all it took for me was to do the test to get interested and I regret wasting that much time, but thanks for putting words into my mouth.

Got the same but wouldnt consider myself conservative in any way. I dont think psychology is a science in any way, shape or form.

ENFP

It is in my book, just not a particularly evolved one. Also the quality of the story depends on who's telling it. Most psychologists/psychology grads of some level I've spoken to annoyed the crap out of me with this box ticking, blinkered, insightless kind of approach that's no more scientific than... something that's not very scientific... I did speak to one however who was at the forefront of the field and jesus... very intelligent, very insightful, with a very scientific approach.

How was their approach scientific. How was it verifiable.

INTJ here. Fortunately I'm a computer programmer! I think its more a reflection of the nerdy types that frequent boards than of gay people. We should post up on gaydar and compare the results!

Um... May I suggest having a flick through these

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=pubmed&term=%22J%20Clin%20Psychol%22%5Bjour%5D

That's one journal (Journal of Clinical Psychology) I've come across in my studies, which don't often include Pysch. Is there much in there that doesn't follow the scientific method when needed? Not peer reviewed? Critiqued? I don't understand where the notion that Pyschology isn't a real science comes from. I may not like it on a purely personal level and as a field of study it may take a slightly different approach to the study of it's subjects, but that's the nature of human psychology. You seem to suggest it's some form of quackery. Maybe you could go into more detail?

On a personal level, with that one person, continued study in their area, heavy research in fact, frequent peer meetings, cross referencing heavily with other medical areas - that was the most interesting actually, not treating it as an isolated area of study allowing for a greater body of data from which to reach an educated conclusion. I had decided that at least on the level you'd find in this country it was pure quackery, convinced that by getting you to unburden yourself of your childhood you'd become an undamaged person, but I have been convinced otherwise, psychology itself is not quackery, just some low level practitioners.

You also have to take into account how fields of study evolve over time, the mainstream theories we laypeople are bombarded with by the media are all relatively old. I wouldn't be impressed by a physicist who's view of the world was the pinnacle of understanding in 1930, so surely by that reasoning I shouldn't be judging all of psychology by froid et al.

Or distribute it in the George, or on Grafton street with a little box on the bottom marked gay. The results are most probably a reflection on boards... hmm I wonder would anyone bother doing it in AH to see... see pragmatic1, were getting all scientific for you

Or slip a census enumerator a tenner and a stack of survey papers
