What Is Your Personality Type?

HalloweenJack

INTJ or ISTJ depending on the test. I feel it's more or less accurate.

holy guacamole

ISTJ.

Often called 'Inspectors' and have a keen sense of right and wrong.

Not sure what kind of inspectors they mean, but if given the choice I'd like to be Inspector Gadget.

INTP - Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving

INTJ. Fairly accurate.

But could be a bit like horoscopes. Not entirely convinced that psychology isn't a pseudoscience.

Lots of introverts

The majority of us are coming out with an Introvert type. There is definitely some scope for research in to this. The predominant personality type of Internet forum users. Of course that would assume such types are to be given credence.

Gender data on myers briggs is interesting http://www.careerplanner.com/MB2/TypeInPopulation-Males-Females.cfm

Also interesting to discuss to what extent answers are conditioned by nature or nuture! Or maybe that 's just my inner ENTP (unusual for a woman) speaking.

I think boards in particular attracts introverts. A lot of gamers etc.

As said earlier, Introvert doesn't necessarily mean the stereotypical quiet retiring type. I come out as 'I' in Myers Briggs but I am confident and outgoing, many people were shocked that I would be classed as introvert. I know the test may be subjective but when you read more about the description it means you are thoughtful and reflect before giving opinions, comfortable working alone, but that doesn't mean you can't be sociable

Myers Briggs is rubbish, not a reliable tool at all. Five Factor Model is much better

I'd be curious to see what the general split is in Ireland, I imagine there is probably more introverts than extroverts in general, not just on boards. That's only based on my general observations of the people I've come across though, no scientific basis!

+1000. On the other side of the coin I come out as near extreme extrovert, yet am happy in my own company and sometimes avoid social interactions.

Maybe, or maybe it's more down to quiet and not so quiet people. The former are more common. More people want to keep their head down publicly, don't want to stick out. Yet when faced with the faux anonymity of the internet check out their Facebook pages to see how loud and wanting social attention they can be.

ENFJ. Seems pretty accurate

I'd have lapped this shít up when I was 15.

I mean who doesn't want to believe they're 'wonderfully charismatic' and share the same personality type as Obama, Gene Hackman and other apparently cool and bodacoius heads?

ENFJ. 100% Totally accurate.

Not to burst your bubble, but I have to laugh at the celebrity types. My mate did one of these and he came out as the same type as Hitler and Osama Bin Laden*. He was slightly perturbed until I pointed out that it was unlikely that Hitler had taken a Myers Briggs test, and while Bin Laden may have taken it, I doubt that he would have made his results public. At best they're just giving rough guesses based on what's known of these people's personalities from the outside.

The test itself is not something I'd take very seriously, but the celebrity matches are hilarious. Here's a site that lists lots - good and bad!


(*Poor INFJs. On the plus side, they also match Gandhi, Leonard Cohen and Daniel Day Lewis. Yup, Gandhi and Hitler have the same personality type)

I redid the test there and am extreme ENTP apparently. 88% it says here. TBH my basic fallback position is pretty much; it's/you're probably wrong, prove otherwise and I enjoy the interaction of both of us trying. Authority blind authority gives me hives. From what I can gather it basically makes me a mercurial, scatter brained and argumentative for the lulz of it cúnt. Yep that actually does sound about right. 88% right anyway.

(*Poor INFJs. On the plus side, they also match Gandhi, Leonard Cohen and Daniel Day Lewis. Yup, Gandhi and Hitler have the same personality type)

:pac: They might have had. Both were obsessives who saw the world differently, both were extremely good at "working" people and often in large numbers, both were very clever men, both had an overriding notion of sacrifice, both of the self and more of others, both had a vision they took to extremes to see through, both were as odd as two left feet, both had huge egos that were quite delicate up close and both had questionable moralities that wider society tended to ignore(Gandhi was in the habit of sleeping with nubile young women to "prove" his resolve in celibacy and didn't seem to give a fig about the young women in question, so long as they worshiped him. He also considered Black Africans on a lower rung and that's just the start...). So yeah as personalities, not so different.
