Anyone here done the Myers-Briggs Test?

I know it’s kinda pseudo science but I’m interested in the relation between the types and our shared interest.

I’m an INFP and I definitely see it through a romantic’s eyes. Sharing your heart can be an incredibly intimate and vulnerable experience, but also one of the biggest turn ons. It’s interesting because my perception of what a heartbeat means is widely different from most, and I don’t think i’ll ever understand not feeling the way I do.

I’m sure most people enjoy laying their head on their partner’s chest, even if it isn’t particularly a turn on. And even then, I think in a lot of situations, people who aren’t cardiophiles can still appreciate and understand it. It’s one of the tamer kinks and I think everyone’s a cardiophile on some level. We’ve all got hearts and generally speaking, when you fall in love with someone, you fall in love with every inch of their body. Their heart is no different. It’s probably related to a subconscious memory of being in the womb. Just that sense of comfort and safety.

So what’s everyone’s type and thoughts? 😃

That test has been mentioned here before.

I have done that test twice while in various levels of school and once for a job interview.

I re-defined how far the scale extends for ISTJ. 😁 😁 😁

The system is somewhat contrived, but interesting nevertheless.

My company had us do the Myers-briggs test as part of a 'feel-good' personality test to figure out how to better interact with others (back in the 1980's?). I liken it Ito the "Hot versus Crazy" test for females - amusing but useless.

It’s a bit more tangible than stuff like horoscopes at least because it’s based on personality functions but yeah, i’d take it with a grain of salt.

Still interesting nonetheless 😃

I have, few of us in the office did it online just to see what we all got, and if it matched how we are.

I found out that I'm a campaigner (so, I actually think the test is bogus)

Had to so it during college orientation in the early 90s.

I was (and probably still am) an INTJ.

I’m an ENFP but I’m not sure if it’s totally accurate. I feel like my mood changes constantly and if I took the test then, I’d have a different result

I did it......ENFP---Dolphin

It was hard for me to answer/differentiate now from the 98% of the rest of my life where I wasn't depressed. I've been suffering depression for last couple years......Prior to this, I was the most optimistic, nothing bothered me, everything just rolled off my back dude you've ever met. "It'll work itself out.....Always does"......That was how I lived......Till shit started going south. Now, all I think is it'll end up as a worst case scenario.....I wouldn't wish depression on my worst enemy.

In closing....I don't remember my thoughts exactly, just that I kind of answered partly the old me and partly the new me.....Thinking after I finished it that it was kinda true and kinda not??????

Probably no use what so ever, but....You asked and I'm bored😃

You must have been really bored. Did you take the entire test?

The free MBTI tests on the internet I found have as few as 20 questions and as many as 93, but I recall AT LEAST 200 questions when I took it.

You must have been really bored. Did you take the entire test?

It was a test I found online somewhere. Psych Central, Psych to Go.......One of those sites, and I don't remember how many questions were involved......It wasn't super short, and it wasn't super long. Probably as best I can describe it. I do remember thinking that some of the questions were too black and white though. No middle ground answer kind of thing. Which, in my case, could make a huge swing in things. Having to pick between basically YES or NO to a question that in all actuality had many, many levels of maybe.......

I didn't, and still don't put much credibility to it for that reason......And it was free online😃 I did think enough to write it down though.....In hopes, someday, I might stumble on a question such as this. Haaa....

EDIT: Typos of course. Proof read??? Nahhhh

I in fact did take the Myers-Briggs test but that’s because I took a class on personality at school. According to the test I am ESFJ.

“Warm-hearted, conscientious and cooperative. Want harmony in their environment, work with determination to establish it. Like to work with others to complete tasks accurately and on time. Loyal, follow through even in small matters. Notice what others need in their day-to-day lives and try to provide it. Want to be appreciated for who they are and for what they contribute.”

That sounds EXACTLY like me!

I had the full Myers-Briggs test given to me while I was in a military leadership class - the idea being that if you understood yourself better, you'd be better able to reign in or at least be aware of your own tendencies when dealing with others... it turns out that I'm an INTP. Understanding my personality better has definitely helped me in knowing my strengths, and particularly my weaknesses.

INTP-A / INTP-T is my results for the 16 personality test and I read through all it had to say about it and I would have to agree that probably 90% of what it says is spot on the way I am.

HOROSCOPES will give the readers a similar impression of themselves because they are written with tremendous generalities that can be used to describe most people.

Let's hear it for the shrinkologists. Yay!

I’m an INTP which basically means I’m an alien hiding among y’all.

I did, but don't remember my results.. Maybe I should take it again?

If nothing else, an exhaustive test that has 200+ questions (NOT one of the 20 questions tests) could be entertaining.

Get a square dart board, divide it into quadrants, and throw darts backwards over your shoulder!!! Then randomly label the quadrants with the MBTI "personality types". You will get a better indication of your personality type! 😄

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers–Briggs_Type_Indicator

"Although popular in the business sector, the MBTI exhibits significant scientific (psychometric) deficiencies, notably including poor validity (i.e. not measuring what it purports to measure, not having predictive power or not having items that can be generalized), poor reliability (giving different results for the same person on different occasions), measuring categories that are not independent (some dichotomous traits have been noted to correlate with each other), and not being comprehensive (due to missing neuroticism).[9][10][11][12] The four scales used in the MBTI have some correlation with four of the Big Five personality traits, which are a more commonly accepted framework.[13]"

I did not.

Just have the Voight-Kampff test.

@Nurse_Phillips , we are not suppose to out ourselves! (chuckling)

My company used a leadership course that included MBTI. The results were that I'm an INTJ, but being a bit of a skeptic I have taken it online maybe 5-6 more times and always get the same results. I bought a book on it and have learned to read other people with some accuracy and can say for group dynamics it is very useful.

Yes I did the test over 20 years ago and ironically I at that time also was concluded to be an INFP. I have heard a statistic from the research that only fewer than 10 percent are found to be in this classification. I am most certainly an introvert by nature that has not changed, however I have wondered about the other three variables NFP and if anything has changed in those areas. Is this a dynamic test and subject to change or does it remain fairly consistent over the persons lifetime. I probably have more questions than answers. I welcome any feedback.

I tried to take it once, and stopped. I don't think the depth is there. People are much more complex than labels. I found myself wanting more choices.

It’s a joke. Don’t take it seriously

While the Myers Briggs does demonstrate some general traits, there are no pyschological tests to make such definitive conclusions.

The 4 basic personality types is rooted in centuries of medical practice and the only practical value that it is supposed to have is to facilitate communication. That might work in casual conversation, but as soon as you add a lot of stress into the mix everybody reverts to how they learned to communicate-for better or worse-in their family environment; all shrinkologists to the contrary.

I did not.

Just have the Voight-Kampff test.

You must have passed because you weren't "retired."

I just took the test and was surprised by how accurate it came out

I also took the test. I was surprised how it described me although I say that my results didn't have the best accuracy.
