I read somewhere that introverts make about 25% of the general population, while 75% are extroverts... I'm not surprised that here in EVE the ratio seems to be the other way around P

ISTP (assertive), which came as a bit of a surprise to me as I scored INTJ when I last did tests like this. Checked on other sites to confirm, similar results.

But... INTJ was when I was at/fresh out of the university, and now I work in manufacturing. Guess it's no wonder that the theoretical side has taken a back seat and I'm now a bit more relaxed and hands-on than I used to be. So I don't read too much into this crap since it changes depending on where you are in life.

IxTx though.. yeah, that's me.

Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.

Also INTP/Assertive/Analyst
According to that I should be at least mildly annoyed there are two other INTPs in this thread. ^-^ (Edit3: Random doesn't count, he's not of the assertive variant ;P)

I can't say I agree with everything in that profile, but most of it seems at least in the right ballpark, as far as I can judge.

Edit: typo :x

Edit2: I just noticed, there's a dating section on that website? XD Makes sense, I guess.

This subject has oddly fascinated me and I have been poking around and looking up stuff about it on my down times today. I'm finding it very interesting to read about other personality types and my own and how they interact with each other. Improved commnication go!

The theoretical background is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, originally developed by a mother and daughter team - reportedly in order to help other women find jobs that best suited after WWII - based on the work and ideas of Carl Jung , Freud's former pupil, and at least from where I'm sitting far more interesting than his mentor, even if much less well known.

To those that are mentioning things about how the results could change over time, I am one to believe that personalities ebb and flow. Personally I have taken this test numerous times and I bounce back and fourth between INFP and ENFP. THe NFP seem to be standard but my level of vertedness really depends on my mood and the current situation (energy flow, group of people, time of year, temperature etc.). And my consistent NFP results show, at the very least, validity within my sphere.

One can call this hokey or whatever, but the research has been used and documented to improve workplace environments. Employers have used personality tests to evaluate their employees. Often times it is found that if offices switch personnel around a bit, based on personality types that work better with each other, that workplace moral and output increased drastically.

@Slade,
I agree, we are in part products of our environment and can change over time. Much can indeed be gained by considering personalities, in the workplace and elsewhere. But...


My problem with tests like these is that they don't tell me all that much. I would argue that, say, if a certain profession gives me certain personality traits then those traits don't really define who I am.

For these tests to be really meaningful to me I'd have to change career and lifestyle several times and find the MBTI traits that remain constant. That's who I really am, the rest being just adaptations to my current situation.


Just my opinion though, as an ISTP topics like this isnt my strong suit (I like things that can be quantified and processed with logic. Psychology defies all reason). Get me a job as an accountant or doctor or whatever and give me a holler in a couple of years. Maybe I'll have the necessary traits to process this by then. Big smile

Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.

If you are really serious about it, Eurydia, go here , after reading off the APA´s website exhaustive info on testing, you will be better informed and avoid going into these "FeelGood" websites that usually RESELL behavioral testing procedures (in the best of cases), and sometimes just try to skim you for money with statistically pre-set "Personalized profiles" of utter rubbish, non certified "results" (in the worst of cases)

I find most of these sites inane, but some of them are in my opinion borderline criminal, and though I harbor no ill will to this or any particular site discussed at the moment, I feel I´m morally obliged to just waltz in a bit.

I´m wary of many things, and if you are serious as you imply in finding out more about this topic, you should be too.

My only bit of "professional" advice which I hope is taken for what it is, honest and well intentioned advice.Big smile

Cheers!

Well wha really got me is when I looked up my particular result a little further. And it was so accurate in how I make decisions and react to things and how I feel others around me perceive my behaviors. All the things I struggle with and get frustrated with myself over. So yeah. I'm definitely interested in knowing more.

Personality: INFJ
Variant: Turbulent
Role: Diplomat
My numbers seem fairly high compared to the other screenies, not sure what to make of that. Overall I'd agree with the results. Although as per earlier comments some traits seem to shift about depending on what I'm doing/mood. They cover that slightly on the site.

I found this particularly interesting (from the career info for INFJ).
Quote:
INFJs dislike routine tasks, strictly impersonal work, or analysing small details. They are also very vulnerable to conflict and criticism. These traits mean that INFJs should avoid careers that typically focus on data rather than people or are prone to pressure and conflict, e.g., finance, audit, programming, data analysis, etc. On the other hand, people with this personality type are very insightful and creative; they tend to be excellent architects, musicians, artists, photographers, designers, etc. The best INFJ career paths revolve around these traits. Regardless of the career path, INFJs always need to feel that their contribution is meaningful. They need something more than just money or recognition.

The reason that section resounds is that after a decade in Finance I was made redundant and it was a real struggle trying to decide upon a new direction. The only thing I was clear on was that the work (whilst engaging, or distracting in some ways) did not feel meaningful, and no amount of money would ever take that sensation away. Having said that I've taken these tests before, so it's possible they just reinforce things you might want to believe. There's also something to be said for having a mixture of personality types within teams where similar work is performed, so I'm not sure telling people what career paths to avoid is appropriate. Those unhappy with their career might seize on it to justify a change, but a tarot card reader has as much chance as a personality test of predicting whether the change will be successful or not.

Considering INFJ is only supposed to be 1% of the pop, funny that there are two others of the same type here - or maybe not. It'd be interesting to see how the playerbase more generally fit into these types.

One thing that surprised me was this
Quote:
In fact, certain Introverted types (e.g. INFJ or INFP) are often more sociable than most Extraverted types. In Western societies, Extraverted individuals outnumber Introverted ones by a large margin and consequently most people believe that everyone should strive to be outgoing, confident, have a large circle of friends etc.

I've always found it a contradiction to be an obvious introvert who prefers a small group of friends, whilst being unphased by interracting generally - but I assumed it was life experience overriding natural inclination. It's intriguing stuff anyway, might have a read of the other personality types.
