Personality, what type of person are you? Options

[Megil Tel-Zeke]

Well I did this a while ago, but I saw it mentioned in another thread, and I thought it would be interesting to see the personality types we have on this site.

it's not to bad of a test, you can also google others if you want to verify your results

I'm an INTJ, though I have gotten the result INTP once.

and check out the link below, at the top are the different personality type, just click yours and it will give you a description

Heh, yeah, here's my take on the Myers-Briggs personality spectrum.

It's a tool, not an absolute. It has its uses, but Humanity is now entering an era where we do not need to classify human beings. Myers-Briggs is a good way to classify personality because one idea behind it is that you have all the types of personality-aspects in you, and you have the way you deal with the outside, and the inside. Some aspects are simply more prominent. The test itself describes actions, what actions you would take in this certain situation, what type of person you consider yourself, and then goes further, quite interestingly, into being able to assume many qualities about people they did not really understand about themselves. The personality profiler also reminds us people can deal with the same information in very different ways. So, there are no factions, no any reason to feel not good enough just because your personality type is rather broad.

INFP or INTP, depending on which test I take. Some of ther answers are kind of either/or, and hard to choose. I took two sepparate tests recently, and they said INTP, but tests I have taken before have said INFP, so I'm about even between the two. I prefer to classify myself in my own way, along with everyone else, but it's really something I can't explain, people just "fit" into a category or they don't, and if they don't, they are put into a new category, and the category a person is placed into changes as I learn about them. It's really more of a subconsiou thing, so I can't explain it well. (or at all, really)

EDIT: Oh, here is another Myers-Briggs test, it's a little different. Personality Pathways Myers Briggs Test

I understand what you're talking about. It's called generalizing, and every human being does it whether they realize it or not. Just like in school people try to find which group they fit into, much the same way people use personality traits to group their friends into categories and so on. Funy though, no one ever lays the parameters on themselves because people can only see themselves as complete beings.

Meh, I'm always INFP even when I go back and answer all questions differently when they could have gone either way. The nmbers change a little but I still always get INFP.

I understand what you're talking about.  It's called generalizing, and every human being does it whether they realize it or not.  Just like in school people try to find which group they fit into, much the same way people use personality traits to group their friends into categories and so on.  Funy though, no one ever lays the parameters on themselves because people can only see themselves as complete beings.

Yes, I know that. I do measure everyone I know by it, including myself. In fact, I'd say I have myself down more accurately than anyone else, because I know myself better than I know anyone else. I understand that nobody fits into any one category, and in fact, fits at least a little bit into every category sometimes. And I know I have at least some people down completely wrong, because if I spent the time to get to know everyone completely, I'd die of old age before I got finished with even one person. I'd have to be very arrogant to assume that I could do, in any short ammount of time, or at all, what scientists have been trying and failing to do for years.

Oh, and did you try the slightly different version I posted a link to? It is much shorter, so likely it is less accurate, but it makes it really easy to figure out how the test works.

[DoomedOne]

Yeah I just did, funny though I see what you mean, I found myself sort of split between F and T and edging significantly toward F.

[Kindred Spirit]

See, the particular test you take makes a difference. Or not, as the case may be.

I do categorize people with generalizations, including myself. I use the various predjudices in my school, then apply them and see which ones fit and which ones don't. When I try to categorize someone, I use whichever ones fit them, in that approximate order. I am, using my system of generalization an Outcast Smart Nerd Gothic Rocker. It goes in this order for this reason:
Outcast because I prefer to be alone to with people, and feel uncomfortable speaking with or being near more than a few people, rarely if ever participate in anything social including classes and school functions, and very few people know me, as I tend to stay far from human contact in all cases. (not easy in my school, as it is crowded to 4/3 intended capacity)
Smart because I learn new subject material easily, and often know the subject material already, and get good grades without trying, rarely need to ask a question to understand something.
Nerd because I learn a lot of esoteric information through various sources, most of it useless, and often, when I do participate in classes, it is to better explain what the teacher has said for those who still say they don't get it, and that I don't use drugs, although many people in my school do, and have offered to get me some. (soft drugs like marijuana, not hard drugs, and I refuse because the smell of smoke makes me gag)
Gothic because of my general dark outlook on life, the fact that I always wear dark clothing, (though not really gothic apparel) and that I tend to feel more comfortable speaking with a person who is gothic than who isn't.
And then rocker because of the music I listen to, many of the people I hang out with who aren't gothic are rockers as well, and when I'm not wearing clothing that is slightly gothic, I am wearing clothing that is slightly more like headbanger clothing.

So, while my system, like all others, is incomplete and imperfect, it works well enough for it's purpose, which is to sort the people I know into categories, so as to easier keep track of sepparate people. It also is guaranteed to be less than perfect due to the fact that it is based on my own impressions, which are imperfect as all other people's are, and subject to my own oppinions, rather than more scientific methods of classification, not to mention that it is based on stereotypes which have been proven to be less than perfectly true in many cases.
