personality test
so there's this thing called the keirsey temperament type...and there are 4 different categories in which there are two possibilities that a person can be. there's introverted (I) and extroverted (E), intuitive (N) and sensing (T), feeling (F) and thinking (T), and perceiving (P) and judging (J). each person is a combination of these letters, one from each category. so i took the test a couple of times, and each time i get that i'm an ENFP, which i expected. the percentages (strength of expression of each trait) vary slightly each time, but the most recent time i took it, i got 78, 56, 56, and 67 for each letter, respectively. what that means is that i'm strongly extroverted, moderately intuitive and feeling, and distinctly perceptive, as the site says. so the reason i'm writing all this here is that i want to encourage you all to go here, take the test yourself, read about your personality type if you wish, and post your letters and the percentages here. keep in mind that yor scores may change from try to try, especially if any of your traits are weakly expressed, so you may want to take the test more than once, in different moods. alrighty then...good night everyone.
lol good night everyone indeed...look at all your typos
first time-
I 78 S 1 T 44 J 44
second time-
I 67 N 33 F 33 J 22
heh so basically i'm very introverted and judging (?) and i vary in all other respects.
Re: lol good night everyone indeed...look at all your typos
which sam?
iNtuitive 11%
Thinking 33%
Judging 78%
What a strange test ... I found many questions to be flawed. I do however, like the description of the typical INTJ:
"It is in their abilities that INTJs differ from the other NTs, while in most of their attitudes they are just like the others. However there is one attitude that sets them apart from other NTs: they tend to be much more self-confident than the rest, having, for obscure reasons, developed a very strong will. They are rather rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population. Being very judicious, decisions come naturally to them; indeed, they can hardly rest until they have things settled, decided, and set. They are the people who are able to formulate coherent and comprehensive contingency plans, hence contingency organizers or "entailers."
INTJs will adopt ideas only if they are useful, which is to say if they work efficiently toward accomplishing the INTJ's well-defined goals. Natural leaders, INTJs are not at all eager to take command of projects or groups, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once in charge, however, INTJs are the supreme pragmatists, seeing reality as a crucible for refining their strategies for goal-directed action. In a sense, INTJs approach reality as they would a giant chess board, always seeking strategies that have a high payoff, and always devising contingency plans in case of error or adversity. To the INTJ, organizational structure and operational procedures are never arbitrary, never set in concrete, but are quite malleable and can be changed, improved, streamlined. In their drive for efficient action, INTJs are the most open-minded of all the types. No idea is too far-fetched to be entertained-if it is useful. INTJs are natural brainstormers, always open to new concepts and, in fact, aggressively seeking them. They are also alert to the consequences of applying new ideas or positions. Theories which cannot be made to work are quickly discarded by the INTJs. On the other hand, INTJs can be quite ruthless in implementing effective ideas, seldom counting personal cost in terms of time and energy."
Now, I distinctly recall answering a few questions affirming my preference to go with tried and true ways as opposed to experimenting, but the profile fits more or less....
yes, you, the original sam
