Huh!...ISTJ: The Duty Fulfiller.

I wouldn't have thought that.

You do send packages across the Atlantic in record time.

MTBI Test Results
Your personality type is INTJ.

Introverted (I) 86% Extraverted (E) 14%
Intuitive (N) 59% Sensing (S) 41%
Thinking (T) 65% Feeling (F) 35%
Judging (J) 59% Perceiving (P) 41%

While this test is interesting I find that my answers were based more on around my job in there answering. I just wonder if I was in school if they would have changed any?

It says Mechanic, but I think I am a mix of Mechanic and Artist.

Interesting thing I noticed: more than half of all the people who posted their percentages were near 50/50 in Thinking/Feeling.
Seems our hobby needs both.

LOL!

Excuse me, but doesn't this whole post validate the T this test gave you?

Or so they say. I have little faith in personality tests and the choices that are presented don't all seem like sliding scales to me. Having $100 or $100,000 in the bank is a sliding scale. If you have more than $100, you're that much closer to $100,000. On the other hand, something like "I tend to be general and figurative. I use metaphors and analogies/ I tend to be specific and literal. I give detailed instructions" doesn't seem to be the same kind of thing. Metaphors and analogies are useful parts of the language and are valuable for explaining a lot of abstract concepts and I use them a lot, but I'd never tell someone to drive East on the road like the Nile in Flood Season and turn right at the fleshpots of Babylon.... Instead, I'd tell them to get on Hwy 1 going East and exit going South on 200th Street, travel a mile and turn left on the bypass right after Willowbrook Mall. Some things require analogies and some require detailed instruction and there's not much of a sliding scale between the two.

Similarly, "I value logic, justice and fairness" hardly seems to exclude "I value empathy, harmony and forgiving." Some philosophers logically base their understanding of justice on either empathy or harmony. It's hardly "in between" to maintain that most if not all of those are not actually opposing concepts.

Or "I believe feelings are valid only if they are logical" vs "I believe any feeling is valid, whether it makes sense or not." What on earth is a "valid" feeling? Is it one that should be acted on? Should an invalid feeling be changed? For that matter, what is a "logical" feeling or one that "makes sense"? One could argue that horror and anger are right and appropriate (which may or may not mean logical) responses to stories of people being fed feet first into industrial plastic shredders. (And I think I'd do so). But what about feelings like a love of snow? A preference for wet climates over arid ones? My enjoyment of D&D? I don't think that any of those can be properly described as logical feelings. So maybe the proper answer is "I'm really in between." But that doesn't seem like an accurate assessment either. I'm certainly not "in between" with regard to the contingent validity of moral feeling. But logic isn't necessarily the factor that decides their validity. And that doesn't account for "any feeling."

Ok... I'm an INTP according the test--on the second try...

<SNIP>

The first time I took this particular version of the test I was rated as an INFP, which didn't seem right, hence the INTP.

<SNIP>

-W.

Wait, are you saying the F didn't feel right? So you switched it to T...

Is anyone else getting the irony? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

INFJ

Introverted (I) 64% Extraverted (E) 36%
Sensing (S) 55% Intuitive (N) 45%
Thinking (T) 55% Feeling (F) 45%
Perceiving (P) 55% Judging (J) 45%


Fits surprisingly well for me, some of the things in the description of this personality are really spot on. Kind of scary actually.

 

[der_kluge]

Another INTP and not surprising (Astronomy). I'm curious about the difference between Perceiving and Judging... would an INTP be a theorist and an INTJ be an experimentalist?

InvaderSquoosh, you can go here to get some more information on each of the 8 different letters.

 

[Mystic_23]

I ended up INFP which is pretty much spot on for me. As a side note, when you first meet me, you will definately think I'm introverted, but as you get to know me, I'll be more and more extroverted. (Which explains almost exactly 75% I 25% E).
