    Lightbulb What's your personality type?

    I'm sure some of you have seen this on 4chan, but a this test should be self explanatory once you finish. You take it and it evaluates your personality types (some what accurately I might add) and tells you of various famous people who are similar and gives some careers that would be a good choice.

    You can take the test at 41q.com

    Here's an extra lil grid with a different spin on the types:

    SPOILER!!:


    As for what I scored...

    First time I took the test I got ENTJ, but I was quite burnt out. Second time (most accurate imo) my results were:


    ESTJ

    Your personality type: "Determined Realist"

    Practical, traditional and organized. Likely to be athletic. Not interested in theory or abstraction unless they see the practical application. Have clear visions of the way things should be. Loyal and hard-working. Like to be in charge. Exceptionally capable in organizing and running activities. "Good citizens" who value security and peaceful living.

    Careers that could fit you include:

    Military, business administrators, managers, police/detective work, judges, financial officers, teachers, sales representatives, government workers, insurance agents, underwriters, nursing administrators, trade and technical teachers.

    Since I'm stupid, I didn't screencap my results, which might be the better way to show your results.

    We already have an MBTI thread XD

    http://thefinalfantasy.net/forums/ge...ml#post1320852

    But, that's alright. I like these tests. The Jungian personality types have made it easier for me to categorize and understand people's behavior. I myself am an INTP, the "analytical thinker" according to your test.

    The Personality Type Portraits

    Is one of the best sites for reading up on your type. Also, a better version of this test, which makes it less binary, adding accuracy to the result, but also gauging your development of individual cognitive functions.

    Jungian Cognitive Function Quiz

    My Cogfunc results....

    Based on your cognitive functions, your type is most likely:
    Most Likely: INTP
    or Second Possibility: INTJ
    or Third Possibility: ENTP

    Your cognitive functions are, in order of development:
    Ti - Ni - Ne - Si - Te - Se - Fi - Fe

    our Cognitive Functions:
    Introverted Thinking (Ti) |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 14.37
    Introverted Intuition (Ni) |||||||||||||||||||||||||| 12.255
    Extroverted Intuition (Ne) |||||||||||||||||||||| 10.19
    Introverted Sensation (Si) ||||||||||||||| 6.54
    Extroverted Thinking (Te) |||||||||| 4.31
    Extroverted Sensation (Se) ||| 0.57
    Introverted Feeling (Fi) || -2.15
    Extroverted Feeling (Fe) |||| -4.28

    Your Introverted Intuition (Ni) is very developed.
    Your Introverted Thinking (Ti) is very developed.
    Your Extroverted Intuition (Ne) is moderate.
    Your Extroverted Sensation (Se) is moderate.
    Your Introverted Sensation (Si) is moderate.
    Your Extroverted Thinking (Te) is moderate.
    Your Introverted Feeling (Fi) is low.
    Your Extroverted Feeling (Fe) is very low.

    A few INTP descriptions for around the interweb, you can find em anywhere.

    Wiki
    SPOILER!!:

    INTPs are quiet, thoughtful, analytical individuals who tend to spend long periods of time on their own, working through problems and forming solutions. They are curious about systems and how things work. Consequently, they are frequently found in careers such as science, philosophy, law, and architecture. INTPs tend to be less at ease in social situations or in the "caring professions", although they enjoy the company of those who share their interests. They prize autonomy in themselves and others. They generally balk at attempts by others to convince them to change. They also tend to be impatient with the bureaucracy, rigid hierarchies, and the politics prevalent in many professions. INTPs have little regard for titles and badges, which they often consider to be unjustified. INTPs usually come to distrust authority as hindering the uptake of novel ideas and the search for knowledge. INTPs accept ideas based on merit, rather than tradition or authority. They have little patience for social customs that seem illogical or that serve as obstacles for pursuing ideas and knowledge. This may place them at odds with people who have an SJ preference, since SJs tend to defer to authority, tradition, and what the rest of the group is doing.[2] INTPs prefer to work informally with others as equals.[11]
    INTPs organize their understanding of any topic by articulating principles, and they are especially drawn to theoretical constructs. Having articulated these principles for themselves, they can demonstrate remarkable skill in explaining complex ideas to others in simple terms, especially in writing. On the other hand, their ability to grasp complexity may also lead them to provide overly detailed explanations of simple ideas, and listeners may judge that the INTP makes things more difficult than they need to be. To the INTPs' mind, they are presenting all the relevant information or trying to crystallize the concept as clearly as possible.[11]
    Given their independent nature, INTPs may prefer working alone to leading or following in a group. During interactions with others, if INTPs are focused on gathering information, they may seem oblivious, aloof, or even rebellious—when in fact they are concentrating on listening and understanding. However, INTPs' extraverted intuition often gives them a quick wit, especially with language. They may defuse tension through comical observations and references. They can be charming, even in their quiet reserve, and are sometimes surprised by the high esteem in which their friends and colleagues hold them.[11]
    INTPs are driven to fully understand a discussion from all relevant angles. Their impatience with seemingly indefensible ideas can make them particularly devastating at debate.[2] When INTPs feel insulted, they may respond with sudden, cutting criticism. After such an incident, INTPs are likely to be as bewildered as the recipient. They have broken the rules of debate and exposed their raw emotions. To INTPs, this is the crux of the problem: improperly handled emotions, INTPs believe, can only harm. While INTPs experience emotions as an important part of their internal lives, and sometimes share their emotions with others, INTPs nevertheless believe that emotions must not play a role in logical discussions, or be expressed in a way that would put themselves at disadvantage.

    Notable INTPs
    According to Keirsey, based on behavioral characteristics, notable Architects might include Albert Einstein , Charles Darwin, and Thomas Jefferson.


    According to The Mind Behind, approximately 3% of males are INTPs, and less than 1% of females. It also lists Socrates as a notable INTP.

    SPOILER!!:

    INTPs spend a lot of time in their heads, in a world of ideas, possibilities and theories. They love nothing more than solving complicated problems in their heads. They believe that they can solve anything in there, and they often can.

    They hate details and realizing their ideas themselves; they can have a great idea and then not finish it just because to them the product is already finished, because it was finished in their head. INTPs may also have problems with being overall lazy and being overconfident about their intellectual powers but not doing anything with these intellectual powers they believe to possess at the same time out of fear to discover that they weren't as smart as they thought.

    They are extremely open-minded about ideas; everything is possible and everything can be changed. This combined with their abstract introverted thinking skill makes them the ultimate theory builder. This is demonstrated by the fact that many of the most successful scientists and thinkers are INTPs.

    To the outside world INTPs are often seen as calm, imaginative and private. However, they can be very goofy and fun and some INTPs have really developed this. They don’t care what they look like and don’t understand the purpose of fashion except when they decide to make fashion one of their interests. This is because they can master almost anything they find worth the effort to master. Therefore INTPs can be found anywhere doing anything and are often experts in area's known as INTP weaknesses, but you can spot them by the way they go about doing the things they do.

    Often really confusing to beginners who try to read INTPs is that they seem extremely precise about very tiny details, yet they are big picture thinkers. However, they’re not precise because they look at the details; on the contrary, they do that because they have a very deep understanding of a lot of things and know that that tiny detail is very important to the big picture. They will never look at unimportant details and can get really annoyed when people get too deep into these.


    INTP.org **** yeah it has its own website!

    SPOILER!!:
    The mind of an INTP is both a finely-honed analytical tool and a playground of ideas. Its strongest function is introverted Thinking, which is supported by extroverted iNtuition. In other words, INTPs interact with the outer world intuitively, observing the big picture and its implications. They use their introverted T to process this information logically and abstractly, analyzing new ideas until they understand every aspect. Starting with only a vague intuition, an INTP can construct a whole new world of ideas.

    As an analytical tool, the INTP mind excels at solving problems and designing systems. It uses logic like a sword, slashing out irrelevant information and cutting straight to the heart of a problem. INTPs have an innate dislike of redundancy and imprecision. Their primary weakness is likely to be a tendency to overlook or become impatient with details. Details are annoying consequences of the imperfect "real" world; INTPs prefer to focus on the ideal world of intellectual constructs. INTPs enjoy playing with ideas and may enjoy arguing for fun. They are happiest when they are involved in discovering the intricacies and elegance of a complex system. They seek out natural laws and underlying principles from which they can build inventive theoretical models. When involved in these analytical and intuitive activities, they can produce ideas of startling creative brilliance.
    Work:
    INTPs can be successful in many fields, and may find themselves hopping from job to job as interest in different areas of knowledge wanes and waxes. The ideal jobs for INTPs are ones that
    * require analysis of global concepts rather than a focus on details

    * involve interaction with few people rather than many

    * provide the opportunity to work on a series of new and interesting problems rather than to see one project through from beginning to end

    * allow them to use their minds creatively without worrying about the practical application of the ideas they develop.

    INTPs also tend to work best if they are not over-burdened with rules and regulations and are free to express the more creative aspects of their thinking. They have an intense need for competence in whatever job they are doing, but they do not usually feel the need to demonstrate this competence to others. As a result, the extent of their abilities is not always recognized. Indeed, they don't need to receive a great deal of praise from others and may even be embarrassed by it.
    While INTPs are unlikely to have difficulty with the intellectual aspects of a job, they may find that the same qualities that help them excel in understanding ideas sometimes lead to friction with coworkers. Others may interpret INTPs' deep concentration and need for solitude as unfriendliness or even snobbishness. INTPs excel in critical thinking and will often point out flaws in others' logic. Others may see this as arrogance and may react with anger and defensiveness. If INTPs are able to express approval and appreciation of others' work, they will find that office interactions go more smoothly. INTPs are generally fair, objective, and adaptable coworkers. They challenge others so that all may become more competent. They enjoy working with people who are intelligent and intuitive.
    Personal:
    Relationships generally do not come easily to INTPs, although they can be faithful and devoted friends and mates who can be adaptable and easy to live with. Their introversion may prevent them from having an active social life, which they are not likely to regret most of the time. They may also forget or ignore social conventions, not feeling bound by the "illogical" rules of society. To an observer, INTPs can seem emotionally cold and overly critical. From the INTPs' perspective, they are simply applying logical principles to their own behavior and to the behavior of others. If they criticize, it is only to correct what they see as an inconsistency or flaw in logic. They intend to be objective, not hurtful. Because INTPs focus on what is logical, they have a tendency to be unaware of or to dismiss their own feelings and the feelings of others. They are likely to be genuinely surprised when their loved ones complain of feeling "taken for granted" or neglected. They can be insensitive to what other people want or expect from a relationship. However, people who do get to know INTPs more closely will probably find the experience to be very rewarding. While many INTPs have a very cynical side, they can also display a childlike sense of wonder and interest in new ideas. They usually have a good sense of humor that ranges from dry subtlety to impish playfulness.
    By developing a stronger awareness of feelings and increasing their comfort with them, INTPs can add a new layer of richness to their lives. Their feelings are usually hidden but can run very deep. This depth, combined with the illogical nature of feelings, can make it very difficult for INTPs to express their feelings verbally. However, they will find it rewarding to discover and pursue what is emotionally important to them rather than only what is logical. For the INTP, the Feeling function is closely linked with the unconscious and is a source of creativity. In Psychological Types, Jung describes the most difficult challenge introverted thinkers face: preserving the integrity of their mental lives while not becoming too isolated from the outside world. It is easy for INTPs to become bitter and angry when others misunderstand their ideas and personality traits. They may see this misunderstanding as "proof of the abysmal stupidity of man." The INTPs' response may be to become critical, unapproachable, and even overly emotional and touchy, which leads to further isolation from other people and from the world. Jung cautions that while this isolation may seem protective, it has its own dangers. It leaves INTPs vulnerable to attacks from their own unconscious minds. This inner conflict can lead to depression and to a tendency to expend too much energy fighting unimportant battles. However, this outcome is certainly not inevitable. By developing their weaker Sensing and Feeling functions over time and by holding on to the more light-hearted aspects of their personalities, INTPs can more fully experience and express the considerable potentials of their minds.


    I found this site shortly after the last MBTI thread was made. Funny shit. The REAL Personality Types Made Relevant

    Basically humorous interpretations and descriptions of the types.

    SPOILER!!:
    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.

    Famous INTPs include Pierre de Fermat and almost everyone who knows what Pierre de Fermat wrote in the margins of his book.

    Then you're definitely not an STJ. SJs are generally all about tradition, doing what everyone else is doing, and feeling bound to fill societal roles and obligations. Having a T with it usually means they see some sort of rational basis for doing this.

    SJs USUALLY see deviation from the norm as a flaw, I'd definitely try the cognitive function test I posted, that should be more accurate. And don't answer on instinct, make sure you REALLY think all the questions through.

    I'm a ISFP

    I have the same persona type as Micheal Jackson. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not...

    ISFPs tend to be quiet and reserved, and difficult to get to know well. They hold back their ideas and opinions except from those who they are closest to. They are likely to be kind, gentle and sensitive in their dealings with others. They are interested in contributing to people's sense of well-being and happiness, and will put a great deal of effort and energy into tasks which they believe in.

    According to the test I took in the old thread, which was like a year ago, I was an ISTJ. Which I took again and am now a ISFP!

    I did your test and this was my result, an INFJ.

    Your personality type: "Harmony-seeking Idealist"
    Quietly forceful, original and sensitive. Tend to stick to things until they are done. Extremely intuitive about people and concerned for their feelings. Well-developed value systems which they strictly adhere to. Well-respected for their perserverence in doing the right thing. Likely to be individualistic, rather than leading or following.

    Careers that could fit you include:
    Counselors, clergy, missionaries, teachers, medical doctors, dentists, chiropractors, psychologists, psychiatrists, writers, musicians, artists, psychics, photographers, child care workers, education consultants, librarians, marketeers, scientists, social workers.

    I'm not sure if this is me though, but I have definitely changed over the last few months for sure.

    I also did the Jungian Cognitive Function Quiz.

    Based on your cognitive functions, your type is most likely:
    Most Likely: ESFP
    or Second Possibility: ISFP
    or Third Possibility: ISFJ


    Your cognitive functions are, in order of development:
    Se - Fi - Si - Fe - Te - Ti - Ne - Ni

    Your Cognitive Functions:
    Extroverted Sensation (Se) ||||||||||||||| 6.71
    Introverted Feeling (Fi) ||||||||||||||| 6.665
    Introverted Sensation (Si) |||||||||||||| 6.47
    Extroverted Feeling (Fe) |||||||||||||| 6.41
    Extroverted Thinking (Te) |||||||||||||| 6.24
    Introverted Thinking (Ti) |||||||||||| 5.45
    Extroverted Intuition (Ne) |||||||||||| 5.19
    Introverted Intuition (Ni) ||||||||| 3.58

    Your Extroverted Intuition (Ne) is moderate.
    Your Extroverted Sensation (Se) is moderate.
    Your Introverted Sensation (Si) is moderate.
    Your Introverted Thinking (Ti) is moderate.
    Your Extroverted Thinking (Te) is moderate.
    Your Extroverted Feeling (Fe) is moderate.
    Your Introverted Feeling (Fi) is moderate.
    Your Introverted Intuition (Ni) is poorly developed.

    Haha according to that, my introverted intuition is poorly developed, yet I am a INFJ in the second test I took. So I don't know what the hell my personality type is right now haha. But it's interesting to take these tests though.

    Then it's very unlikely that you're an INFJ, as they have introverted intuition as a primary function.



    The ESFP however has it as an inferior function



    Also a good description of the ESFP

    SPOILER!!:
    The Performer


    As an ESFP, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you take things in via your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion. Your secondary mode is internal, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit with your personal value system.

    ESFPs live in the world of people possibilties. They love people and new experiences. They are lively and fun, and enjoy being the center of attention. They live in the here-and-now, and relish excitement and drama in their lives.

    ESFPs have very strong inter-personal skills, and may find themselves in the role of the peacemaker frequently. Since they make decisions by using their personal values, they are usually very sympathetic and concerned for other people's well-being. They're usually quite generous and warm. They are very observant about other people, and seem to sense what is wrong with someone before others might, responding warmly with a solution to a practical need. They might not be the best advice-givers in the world, because they dislike theory and future-planning, but they are great for giving practical care.

    ESFP is definitely a spontaneous, optimistic individual. They love to have fun. If the ESFP has not developed their Thinking side by giving consideration to rational thought processing, they tend to become over-indulgent, and place more importance on immediate sensation and gratification than on their duties and obligations. They may also avoid looking at long-term consequences of their actions.

    For the ESFP, the entire world is a stage. They love to be the center of attention and perform for people. They're constantly putting on a show for others to entertain them and make them happy. They enjoy stimulating other people's senses, and are extremely good at it. They would love nothing more than for life to be a continual party, in which they play the role of the fun-loving host.

    ESFPs love people, and everybody loves an ESFP. One of their greatest gifts is their general acceptance of everyone. They are upbeat and enthusiastic, and genuinely like almost everybody. An ESFP is unfailingly warm and generous with their friends, and they generally treat everyone as a friend. However, once crosesed, an ESFP is likely to make a very strong and stubborn judgment against the person who crossed them. They are capable of deep dislike in such a situation.

    The ESFP under a great deal of stress gets overwhelmed with negatives thoughts and possibilities. As an optimistic individual who lives in the world of possibilities, negative possibilities do not sit well with them. In an effort to combat these thoughts, they're likely to come up with simple, global statements to explain away the problem. These simplistic explanations may or may not truly get to the nature of the issue, but they serve the ESFP well by allowing them to get over it.

    ESFPs are likely to be very practical, although they hate structure and routine. They like to "go with the flow", trusting in their ability to improvise in any situation presented to them. They learn best with "hands-on" experience, rather than by studying a book. They're uncomfortable with theory. If an ESFP hasn't developed their intuitive side, they may tend to avoid situations which involve a lot of theoretical thinking, or which are complex and ambiguous. For this reason, an ESFP may have difficulty in school. On the other hand, the ESFP does extremely well in situations where they're allowed to learn by interacting with others, or in which they "learn by doing".

    ESFPs have a very well-developed appreciation for aesthetic beauty, and an excellent sense of space and function. If they have the means, they're likely to have to have many beautiful possessions, and an artfully furnished home. In general, they take great pleasure in objects of aesthetic beauty. They're likely to have a strong appreciation for the finer things in life, such as good food and good wine.

    The ESFP is a great team player. He or she is not likely to create any problems or fuss, and is likely to create the most fun environment possible for getting the task done. ESFPs will do best in careers in which they are able to use their excellent people skills, along with their abilities to meld ideas into structured formats. Since they are fast-paced individuals who like new experiences, they should choose careers which offer or require a lot of diversity, as well as people skills.

    ESFPs usually like to feel strongly bonded with other people, and have a connection with animals and small children that is not found in most other types. They're likely to have a strong appreciation for the beauties of nature as well.

    The ESFP has a tremendous love for life, and knows how to have fun. They like to bring others along on their fun-rides, and are typically a lot of fun to be with. They're flexible, adaptable, genuinely interested in people, and usually kind-hearted. They have a special ability to get a lot of fun out of life, but they need to watch out for the pitfalls associated with living entirely in the moment.


    Jungian functional preference ordering:
    Dominant: Extraverted Sensing
    Auxiliary: Introverted Feeling
    Tertiary: Extraverted Thinking
    Inferior: Introverted Intuition


    The cognitive functions quiz is overall more accurate than a standard MBTI, because the personality types are derived from the cognitive functions, not the preferences between I/e, S/N, T/f, and S/J. The MBTI is just a simplified way of identifying your type, it isn't nearly as useful for understanding it.

    While it doesn't seem all that important to most people, I personally find personality type dynamics to be vital for interpersonal growth. While teachers may teach you otherwise, being 'well-rounded' is not the key to success. To really be successful, you want to know your primary cognitive functions and develop the living Hell out of them. For me that means taking my introverted thinking and extroverted intuition to the extreme, becoming as logical, abstract, and detached as I possibly can. Becoming more objective and analytical is very healthy for me mentally, because it allows my brain to work in exactly the way it's supposed to be working. Trying to live primarily on my strongest function means I get more energy from life, and am overall a happier person for it.

    Assuming you are in fact an ESFP, the functions you want to capitalize on are extroverted Sensing, and introverted Feeling.
    For Our Lord Sheogorath, without Whom all Thought would be linear and all Feeling would be fleeting. Blessed are the Madmen, for they hold the keys to secret knowledge. Blessed are the Phobic, always wary of that which would do them harm. Blessed are the Obsessed, for their courses are clear. Blessed are the Addicts, may they quench the thirst that never ebbs. Blessed are the Murderous, for they have found beauty in the grotesque. Blessed are the Firelovers, for their hearts are always warm. Blessed are the Artists, for in their hands the impossible is made real. Blessed are the Musicians, for in their ears they hear the music of the soul. Blessed are the Sleepless, as they bask in wakeful dreaming. Blessed are the Paranoid, ever-watchful for our enemies. Blessed are the Visionaries, for their eyes see what might be. Blessed are the Painlovers, for in their suffering, we grow stronger. Blessed is the Madgod, who tricks us when we are foolish, punishes us when we are wrong, tortures us when we are unmindful, and loves us in our imperfection.

    I still find these tests rather inaccurate. I'm honestly about equal with introversion as extroversion. Like all things, it heavily depends on the situation.

    Everybody is both introverted and extroverted, it's just a matter of which functions are which. The MBTI kinda makes me mad sometimes, because it misleads people into thinking a single letter preference could be off, and they're another type. One letter off means the entire function stack is different. Like me, and INTP, and an INTJ. One letter off, our functions are not only in a different order, but all reversed on the introversion/extroversion scale.

    We all have all 8 functions, what defines the personality types is which ones dominate.

    My own function stack as an example



    The first of my functions, the largest circle at the top, is my thinking function. My thinking is primarily introverted, introverted thinking is my primary cognitive function. But notice, the entire circle isn't on the introverted half of the sheet. I also have extroverted thinking. My extroverted thinking is moderately developed, and isn't a dominant side of me, but it exists. The same is true for all 4 functions. Even my tiny, pathetic little feeling function down at the bottom. Not much of it extends into the introverted region, but I do have a tiny introverted feeling function somewhere. It's so incredibly underdeveloped, you'll almost never see it (nor will I for that matter), but it's there. Now look at my secondary function, it's primary extroverted. Whatever direction your primary function goes, your secondary function will go the opposite. The tertiary will then have the same direction as your primary, with the fourth, again opposing it. We all have 2 primarily introverted, and 2 primarily extroverted functions. The letter in the type is just based on which direction your primary goes. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with your overall social tendencies (though it often can, my introverted thinking doesn't like being interrupted by too much socialization, so I'm overall socially introverted).

    Introversion vs extroversion isn't about whether you like social gatherings or what kind of crowds you like or don't like being around, it's about the directional focus of your functions. The letter that goes into your type code for I or E matches the direction of your primary function. My primary function is Introverted thinking, that's why the INTP is an introverted type. I still have friends, I still like to go out and **** around now and then. The easiest way to tell if you're a true introvert or a true extrovert, is to spend a lot of time around friends with no breaks. Does it tire you out? Do you need a break to 'recharge' after being super social? If so, you're probably overall introverted. If not, try isolating yourself from people for a while without breaks, does THAT make you feel drained? Do you need a dose of social interaction to feel good again? If so, you're an overall extrovert. We all have tendencies for ALL cognitive functions, the type just tells us which ones our brains prefer to use, which ones energize them, and which ones drain them.

    Best thing to keep in mind about the MBTI, the letters DO NOT MATTER. It's all about the functions.

    I'm an INFJ because I'm a badass like Alpha. 1.5% unique--according to the interwebs, but who knows from what scale that stat ranges from.

    Taken this test like 30 times in my lifetime haha.

    Ta DA!!!:

    Alright, who censored my rocketship?



    From The Clint Eastwood
    I'm thinking about creating a hybrid. A dolphin-monkey. Half dolphin, half monkey. Do you think it's possible?
    I was thinking that since I'm artificially creating it, I'll create it with rocket fuel instead of blood, and thus it will be able to fly, using the dolphin's dorsal fins as wings. And from the air, it will look down upon us all and protect us against sharks, and search for bananas.

    INFJ, got this several times apparently. That test was interesting, HA.

    Your Cognitive Functions:
    Introverted Intuition (Ni) ||||||||||||||||||| 8.89
    Introverted Sensation (Si) |||||||||||||||||| 8.47
    Extroverted Sensation (Se) ||||||||||||||||| 7.8
    Introverted Thinking (Ti) |||||||||||||||| 7.22
    Extroverted Feeling (Fe) |||||||||||||| 6.45
    Introverted Feeling (Fi) |||||||||||| 5.39
    Extroverted Thinking (Te) ||||||||||| 4.93
    Extroverted Intuition (Ne) |||||||| 3.13

    Your Introverted Intuition (Ni) is very developed.
    Your Extroverted Sensation (Se) is moderate.
    Your Introverted Sensation (Si) is moderate.
    Your Introverted Thinking (Ti) is moderate.
    Your Extroverted Thinking (Te) is moderate.
    Your Extroverted Feeling (Fe) is moderate.
    Your Introverted Feeling (Fi) is moderate.
    Your Extroverted Intuition (Ne) is poorly developed.


    Based on your cognitive functions, your type is most likely:
    Most Likely: INFJ
    or Second Possibility: ISFJ
    or Third Possibility: ESTP


    Your cognitive functions are, in order of development:
    Ni - Si - Se - Ti - Fe - Fi - Te - Ne

    Overall it's a good test. It DOES have some flaws, primarily when it comes to people like myself, with some functions developed to a point where they start filling the roles of others. As you can see, I have a secondary SHADOW function (the side of a function that's the non dominant on the introversion/extroversion scale) that's showing a higher level of development than your or Nikki's primary function. That should NEVER happen. Again, my results as an example.

    Your Introverted Feeling (Fi) is low.
    Your Extroverted Feeling (Fe) is very low.
    As you can see by the test result, my second most developed function is supposedly my INTROVERTED intuition. This is extremely unlikely, because as you can see here



    My type has a predominantly extroverted intuition.

    My extroverted intuition is reasonably well developed, not quite into the highly developed region, but right at the threshold. Introverted intuition however, is

    The Introverted Intuition (Ni) function implicitly recognizes that one term can have multiple meanings, and allows the individual to disconnect themselves from the concept of 'objective truth'. This allows those with strong Ni to 'rewire' the connections that form a concept and test it from new and unique angles. This is why the Ni dominant types are often called analysts: they can pull apart an idea and test each individual piece to see how it changes the whole.
    This is a shadow function for me, the opposite of the way my intuition is supposed to work. It should be impossible for me to have this more developed than my normal type of intuition. And for the most part, it IS impossible. My brains doesn't do these NI related things because I actually HAVE a strong NI, but because my TI has developed so far, it's begun taking over the roles of other functions. I implicitly recognize that one term can have many meanings, not because I have a strong introverted intuition, but because my introverted thinking has established that understanding all possible meanings is a logical imperative to understanding and pursuing truth. I don't have the ability to disconnect myself from objectivity at all, objectivity is a unifying concept with my functions. I however have the ability to think from the perspective detached completely from reality, because I have established logically with my TI that nothing can be absolutely certain. So these NI things I seem to be good with, aren't because I have strong NI, but because my TI has determined that these things are logical. My TI is essentially driving me to do NI related things without actually tapping in to my NI.

    On the other hand, my overdeveloped TI is deflating my results on the feeling functions. If you'll notice, your lowest function was at a 3.13 development, and Nikki's a 3.58. And the test considers that to be poorly developed. Meanwhile, I have Extroverted sensing at 0.57, just barely above 0, and the two feeling functions sitting with negative numbers. Now I'm not actually THAT heartless in spite of my username (both feelings with negative development, which oddly, I actually take a certain measure of pride in), or that oblivious to the world around me (extroverted sensing has to do with percieving sensory information of the world around you). What's actually going on, is that my TI has dominated my personality to an extent, that it actively suppresses these functions. Too much external stimuli is a distraction, so my TI filters much of it out. Feelings affect my objectivity and impair my ability to be logical, so my TI prevents me from considering my emotions or those of others when I'm in an introverted thinking mode (which I almost always am due to the level of development that function has).

    So there's that semi-significant flaw with these tests, but it's usually only an issue when somebody has a single function dominating so much that it's min-maxing by influencing other functions.
