Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

[QuiltyConscience]

What type are you?

Do you always get the same results when you take those tests?

Do you feel your results are accurate about you?

[QuiltyConscience]

I always get INTJ... Even if I try to skew the results a little. I think it's a fairly accurate assessment of me.
And I can't find a test right now..

[Jacksmommy]

I took it once long ago and felt it was pretty accurate. I don't remember now what it was though.

What type are you?

Do you always get the same results when you take those tests?

Do you feel your results are accurate about you?

I'll bet I've taken these sorts of tests a dozen times. I don't remember the jargon for the "type" of person I am, but I consistently get similar results. One time I took the test the pattern didn't fit any of the standard "types. The instructor quite literally said, "you must have done something wrong". WTF?

[hidesome]

As I recall, I get ENTJ = "Field Marshal", with something like 1.5% of people in that category. I am barely on the "E" side of "Extrovert/Introvert", however.

This is interesting, and mostly true. Actually the only part that doesn't ring true is that I am usually a leader rather than a follower.

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).

This is so close to how I am that it is kinda freaky. I am also in good company with the examples. ;)

Sounds Pretty Accurate .... there were some answers however I bounce between yes and no depending on my mood that minute. :o

[JudyJudyJudy]

I got INFJ. Perhaps I'm Sybil because I could have sworn I got something different last time. Oddly enough, though, my answers definitely would have been different when I was younger. Although I've always liked "my space," I used to love being the center of attention, but I've become more introverted over the years.

I'm an INFJ, and it's always the same, though I think I registered as less introverted the last time I took it. Maybe having an extrovert for a husband?

There are a lot of INFJs here. It's a pretty unusual combination. I wonder if INFJs are drawn to message boards?

It is odd that are there are so many considering this is stated:

[Michele]

As I recall, I get ENTJ = "Field Marshal", with something like 1.5% of people in that category. I am barely on the "E" side of "Extrovert/Introvert", however.

Hidesome, I took it in high school and I was an ENTJ as well. I also took the ASVAB test at the same time and ended up in the 98%. I didn't think much of it until I started getting regular calls from military recruiters. I wonder if that has anything to do with the "Field Marshal" mentality.

[SingingMom]

It will probably shock you all to know that I often test right in the middle of everything.

I show up consistently as more introverted than extroverted, however. Which is amusing for a trained opera singer. Yeah, opera singers, we're so introverted.

When I took the ASVAB (during inprocessing) one of the proctors hung out and watched over my shoulder.

Near the end, I realized that one of the pixels on the old-school monitor was burned out and I had incorrectly interpreted some of the math expressions as division signs rather than pluses, which explained why the answer set made no sense... Anyway, this gruff, whipcord lean proctor leaned further over my shoulder and growled, "Why aren't you in OFFICER training?" Uhhh, I dunno, no degree? He shook his head sadly and walked off.
