    -------------------
    I've had a long standing interest in personality types so I figured I'd start a topic to see what personalities we have about the forums.

    For those interested, the test here: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp

    The test provides info on your personality type at the end of the test, though you can certainly find more throughout the interwebs. For those who have never taken the test before, the results can be shocking and surprisingly accurate if you answer truthfully.

    For those interested, info on the INFJ type:

  2. I've taken this test so many times usually an intp but on occasion get another nt type can't remeber. Overall though i've only found one place that gives consistent results and it's intp.

    Oh i should add this was posted quite recently so maybe somone better with sankakus search engine could find a way to link it.

  5. I think it was masked under an odd name, but i've seen this test in the forums before.

    The old thread may have been closed. Who knows.

    I have similar problems. The search engine here is really crappy and hard to use.

  9. At any rate, I was hoping a bit of discussion might arise from all this and not just simply people posting their type. Although I am looking forward to seeing people's types. Though I suspect there will be a lot of I types.

    I noticed that a lot of online communities, specifically anime related ones tend to have an above average percentage of percentage of what are generally considered "rare" personality types. INFJ and INTJ for example. Though there are several possible reasons for that. Social stigma being one of them. In Japan for example, there is a rather high rate of INFJ personalities compared to the rest of the world. Particularly introverted types overall but much of that is attributed to what is expected of people growing up there.

    Comparatively, there is a much larger proportion of Extroverted personalities in the USA because of the emphasis and positive outlook of that lifestyle/personality trait.

    *Edit: I'll just skip right to an outside search engine next time. I found 2 similar threads using altavista just a moment ago.

  10. Got INTJ.

  11. I'm an INTP. In my case, all of the below is true. I'm planning on a Linguistics major, too...

    ----

    INTP: The Egghead

    The typical INTP is a logical, abstract thinker whose intellect is ideally suited to understanding pure mathematics, linguistics, formal logic theory, and other pursuits unsuited to making a real living. The INTP can often understand even the most subtle nuances of lattice quantum chromodynamics, but cannot perform more concrete tasks such as dressing himself, operating a motor vehicle, or opening a door. An INTP may be able to tell you how to construct a nuclear reactor from a coconut and two pieces of string, but may be completely incapable of fixing a hole in a boat.

    The INTP is really only suited to two careers: college professor and game show contestant. Of these career choices, only one offers the financial rewards which allows him to suport himself; for that reason, INTPs often take the other path, and become tenured academics.

    RECREATION: Surprisingly, INTPs are often the hit of the party--not for their sometimes annoying habit of turning every discussion into a debate about semantics nor for their fascinating stories about Pierre de Fermat's habit of writing things in the margins of his books, but for the fact that they often show up with their pants on backwards and that if you put a Post-It note reading "Kick Me" on an INTP's back, he won't notice it no matter how many people kick him. That kind of entertainment never gets old.

    COMPATIBILITY: INTPs make ideal companions to INTJs, as neither of them notices they're in a relationship.

    Agreed it's an odd summary but pretty accurate for me as well. Here is a more analyticsal and less jester version.

    EDIT TYPOS.

    No, I like it. It's surprisingly close to my writing style; almost creepily so.

  16. INFJ here

    Also, you can check people's profiles!

    oh, and by the way, I see your point.
    It's quite cool, to try and give a reason behind the personality kinds which can be found in a single nation, but I totally lack the knowledge about this different personality sets, and therefore I'm not that much of a companion in this thread. If definitions weren't as much peremptory, one could even begin an explanation. Like, "I can't fix a damn hole in a boat because...", and "I'd be able to set up a nuclear engine because I watched MacGyver when I was young". Or, just give it a try, let's see what happens. In case this thread doesn't get merged with the previous one, or even in that case, just keep the flow going. I'm sorry, Lens.

    The problem i have with the humanetrics version though is that it changes results with me on the drop of a hat. Why i prefer the one i linked before in the other thread.

    For most people their personality type will tend to drift between just 2 types, normally based on their current mood/recent experiences. Some people believe that you personality type changes with time. I personally believe that everyone has a 'base' personality type that they sometimes drift from, but will always return to. For example, my type is INFJ but I have a low F and so tend to drift into INTJ tendencies especially when I've been up a long while.

    Yes, but do you agree with that? Or did you just decide to go with it because it was titled "evil mastermind".

    I like that idea. How about people try and post a little about how their minds work with their type? Particularly concerning learning new things or fixing problems.

    Lets see for myself, I tend to have problems with applying things I know. I can often see the theories or concept behind why or how something works but I can't put that knowledge into practical use until I have a little practical experience. I used to have no idea how to mess with electronics despite my knowledge of their systems. Then I got a job working with power transformers at one point and with that little bit of experience I was able to stretch it to do a ton of things I couldn't do before.

  20. pardon me for taking too long, I was trying to achieve a better understanding of the chinese language, and utterly failed at it. oh well.

    let's begin -
    I – Introversion preferred to extraversion: INFJs tend to be quiet and reserved. They generally prefer interacting with a few close friends rather than a wide circle of acquaintances, and they expend energy in social situations (whereas extraverts gain energy)

    but of course! I honestly don't care about the average person. I'm really after people who can follow my reasoning, who can be smart and intelligent, never too focused on a single view, who can link facts and thoughts from different grounds and arrive to a new destination. I'm after people who seek something in their life, who want to earn their place in the world, and so on. For that reason, if I think I've found someone interesting, then in those rare cases I talk in extreme ways. If I'm judged "extreme", and who does so can not realize the various reasons behind my talking, then that's it, goodbye. I'm not interested.
    If I'm hated for a specific reason, there's room to talk! I'm interested.
    If I'm loved, well you first have to show me why. I might be interested.
    All in all, the people I find by my side are just a few. The major part of my so called "friends" are just people I interact with, but with whom I'd never share something very precious, or with whom I wouldn't spend much time.

    N – Intuition preferred to sensing: INFJs tend to be more abstract than concrete. They focus on the big picture rather than the details, and on future possibilities rather than immediate realities.

    Oh, this is like talking about sex. I don't care about sex per se (does that work in english?), I care about a relationship. I don't want happy moments which are not linked to anything else. It's true one should always treasure every moment, but that does not mean that you can't achieve them while taking a look at a greater picture, in order to plan something even better. I might miss something along the way, as I sure did, but well, I don't care about it that much. And, it's more or less the same with whatever topic we're talking about.

    F – Feeling preferred to thinking: INFJs tend to value personal considerations above objective criteria. When making decisions, they often give more weight to social implications than to logic.

    Alright, this is impossible to explain. I just get the feeling. By the way people act, talk, move, I tend to compare myself to them, to put me near them and say "would it work?", and I get an answer. It might be right, it might be wrong, but it really feels wrong to just cast that feeling aside. And, I'm absolute, when making such decisions.
    It's worse when I feel attracted, and then realize it just won't work in any way. Oh, I told you, sometimes I just get the wrong feeling.

    J – Judgment preferred to perception: INFJs tend to plan their activities and make decisions early. They derive a sense of control through predictability.

    This seems to be awfully similar to intuition, doesn't it. There you go.
    It's just that, although I really plan a lot of things from way before the act, I tend to mess the plan up in the actual doing. If I'm emotionally touched, because the matter involves me in a personal way, well... I screw up a lot.

    Now, since I think I've written way too much, I'll just stop here for now. Heh, maybe later I'll write something else.
