16 personalities

[Carathorn]

ENTJ though I think these tests are easily gamed, and do a poor job in general of trying to distill the complex nuances of personality into narrowly compartmentalized categories. For example, some days I feel like a strong E and others like a strong I. I hesitate on categorizing myself as either because sometimes I feel like being in large groups and sometimes I feel like being alone. Tests like these don't account for that sort of nuance and treat everything as a static value.

Yes this test does, the I or E stands for where you get your energy from, not for alone/group person. as the video that Luke linked (the hot babe one) she describes it pretty good. If you are I, you get energized from being alone, which doesn't mean at ALL that you hate being around other people. if you are E, then you get enegerized from being around people, which also does NOT mean you never want to be alone. So there is your nuance.

Also I believe that there is a huge difference between who you think you are/want to be and how other people/this test perceive you.

You're just arguing semantics, not really addressing my point which is that the test makes the assumption that all of these score categories have static values and that the two choices per category are mutually exclusive.  I don't believe that to be the case and that the test is fundamentally flawed as a result and most people buy into it due to confirmation bias. But I don't need or want to convince anyone here of that - just stating what I believe.

I believe this says more about you refusing to be classified by anyone than it says about the test being fundamentally flawed, but w/e everyone is entitled to their own opnion.

I agree with Jones. As fun as this test is, its honestly created in a way that allows nearly everyone to be able to relate with their "personality type" to some extent to provide some sort of self confirmation to people lacking confidence. It makes no difference to any of us what are personality type is, it wont change who we are. but yet its so fun to take these tests because it gives us some sort of assurance about why we are the way we are and that we arent alone. Or so we think

Humans have an obsession in classifying all kind of things in our everyday life (hetero/gay, genres, types of music etc). The reality is usually more complex than that (e.g. a film could be a mixture of many different genres at the same time). We classify things because it's fun and it make things easier for us when it comes to selections, but many kinds of classifications shouldn't be taken all too seriously. That doesn't stop this test from being interesting though.

Its fun... but I dont need someone to tell me what my personality is  . I can look in a mirror and see who i am just fine.

hullo everahbuddy!

yeah I don't take these tests very seriously, but it's fun to see what they say. I feel approx the same way about horoscopes/astrology; different Zodiac sign descriptions basically just list traits common to most people.

[Carathorn]

Third making the astrology comparison had me crying for an hour.

[Soft-Hedwig]

comparison to astrology made me facepalm

[RWG]

Thiradell needs to be removed immediately from all administrative duties within the-elite for that comment.

[Time was untied when set.]

While I think they arent directly comparable, they use the same formula for succeess. People take the test, find out a bunch of bullshit about what their personality is "supposed" to be based on how they answered the questions, and walk away feeling like they learned something or that it relates to them so deeply it touches them. The reality is its fairly easy to make generalizations or contruct a personality complex based on some basic information that could be relatable to a wide range of people.

[flukey lukey]

The major difference is if you read all of the Star Signs write-ups for that month you can related to every one (or a random number of them) to some degree, and the type of shit they 'predict' is stuff like ::: you will have good fortune, or, you will meet someone special, your income will fluctuate... straight up bs.

The Jung /Myers Briggs Personality test has been around for many years, is based on centuries of psychoanalysis, research and testing. You could read the description of other personality types and find some connection however small, but if you read all 16, chances are the one you got in the test describes you most accurately, and you would agree.

Clemens is an aggressive, passionate man.  He doesn't take life for granted, but lives day to day, sometimes being distracted from what is important.  He doesn't take nonsense from others, except when he has to, or when it's not worth his time.  He is kindhearted with those near to him.  His signs align nearest to the winter solstice.

[Soft-Hedwig]

Star signs assign unspecific traits to people depending on their date of birth.

The Myers-Briggs test is based on psychoanalytic theory and the results come out of a thorough survey of sixty questions with five or six potential answers, thus giving a relatively high level of specificity.

The two are not comparable as a measure of personality traits. It is patently ridiculous to even think about the two as being analogous in any way, shape or form.

[Time was untied when set.]

.... True, but you have to admit its fairly easy for anyone to take this test and relate to whatever they get. And lets face it, its all about da money in the end.

[Carathorn]

some people just can't stand being labeled by anyone or anything, which is a good trait in some aspects but when you answer 60 questions with each 7 possible inputs, then of course the formula is able to place you somewhere in a grid. Sure, the grid doesn't have a high resolution (16 only) so it won't be able to tell you how you will name your future children. But statistically speaking, with 60 questions it should be very realistic to divide people into 16 different categories.

Have I been with you for this long time and you still do not know me? He who has seen me has seen the Parents.

The Parents are within you. Learn yourself, and you will know me and my Parents, so that where we are, you can be also. You are the sons of the Eloheim. Should the son not be like his Father? You are the daughters of the Eloheim. Should the daughter not be like her Mother? Be careful that you do not pollute your birthright.

He who knows me, knows the Parents, for I am in the Parents, and the Parents are in me, and the Parents and I are one. The deeds which I do, I do not do by myself, but the Parents, who are in me, do those deeds. Look, you should follow me, for in all my deeds, I show you the Parents.

You walk in mists of darkness, which is the heritage of this realm, but inside, you have a Light which burns with Eternal Fire. This will light your Way to the Eloheim.

[Thiradell]

lol at everyone getting so upset. I just don't think the test is super insightful.

"Astrology consists of several systems of divination[1] based on the premise that there is a relationship between astronomical phenomena and events in the human world."

Yes this is implausible and scientifically unverifiable compared to psychoanalysis, but the idea of deriving personality from a common thread is intact. If nothing else, I was just pointing out that they both talk about personality and human traits. People believe in it hardcore and tbh I find it more intriguing (as a wild theory) than a "tell us everything about yourself and we'll report your personality" test.

INFJ - this has changed a since last taking this style test, but i'd have to say it fits pretty well

Changed again!

As someone who is passionate in MBTI, I would argue that your personality type never truly change. The test on 16personalities is merely a tool to find out your personality type. MBTI is something that I think about a lot, and I type other people all the time, for instance during my recent journey around the US. I typed Gus as an INFP at the PA meet. Luke strikes me as an INFP, as well. Mark strikes me as an xNTJ. Axel Z is definitely INTJ. I believe Marc R to be an INFP. Same goes with Illu. Youse is definitely INTP. His wife INFJ. I could go on and on. Although I have never met Alec, ESFJ does not seem very accurate - possibly ENTJ or ENFJ?

People who dismiss MBTI as a science, tend to have a hefty S - detail-oriented. The MBTI community is filled with intuitive personality types, particularly NF personalities. To many of them MBTI as a framework for the bigger picture of human behavior, and it just feels right. Again, I'm an INFJ and, it'll never change.

Chat me up if you'd like to talk more about MBTI.

Excellent post and insight Patrik.

I am INFP. Aside from huge physical or emotional trauma or significant event I also share the belief that people only grow more and more into who they really are, rather than changing throughout their lives. This is based on my own experience growing and becoming more myself, as well as seeingmy friends and family grow up around me.

If Marc and Illu are indeed INFP, I would have guessed INF_ or ISF_  myself, then it shows that the Goldeneye top 5 / top 10 are pretty INFP stacked, (Clemens and Wodahs are also INFPs )

INFP can have a stigma of being pushovers or oversensitive and weak (we are probably oversensitive) but it is nice to be able to really show how sick we can be at something like GE.

[AEB]

Not sure why I got more intuitive, should be more observant. I kinda answered fast though so maybe I'll do it again later.

[deletedprofile.u]

Yeah, I'm going to redo the test but instead of choosing half-ass answers it'll be one end or the other for each one.

Having recently talked to Marc for a bit, INTP seems to fit him more actually.

There is a functional stack for each MBTI type. On growing into who you really are, I believe that as you grow older, you start using your more inferior functions in your functional stack, and you ultimately become more balanced and in tune with your own type. While getting into the specific functionality stacks of each type can be messy, it provides a more detailed explanation of your personality. Not just the four letters, but the underlying functions. For instance, Personality junkie (http://personalityjunkie.com/infp-personality-type-profile/) explains how each individual type grows into his or her type in three phases: childhood, adolescence, and beyond (30s, 40s, etc.).

Will retake this test as soon as I have a chance. An awful lot has changed in my life over the past three years and it'd be interesting to see what if any effect it has on my result (was on the border between INTJ/ISTJ last time).
