Myers-Briggs Personality breakdown of ENWorld members

[fusangite]

I had to take the Meyers-Briggs test nearly every year in high school. I was clearly an INTP; imagine my surprise in discovering that in the 13 years since I last took the test that I've morphed into an ENFP.

I'm completely unsurprised that INTP is winning in this poll. All that is surprising me is the narrowness of its margin. I thought polling gamers would produce an INTP blow-out.

I've taken versions of this test 3 times in the last fifteen years. The first time I was an INTP, the second time an INFP, and this last time an INTJ.

Clearly, the distinguishing aspect of my personality is the IN, with the ability to move between T/F and P/J as time and circumstances change.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

It probably does validate the T part . I don't know what it says about the IN and J parts of the verdict though. (Of course, those weren't very decisive anyway--not even ten points in any one direction.

LOL!

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

Introverted (I) 71% Extraverted (E) 29%
Intuitive (N) 82% Sensing (S) 18%
Feeling (F) 60% Thinking (T) 40%
Perceiving (P) 64% Judging (J) 36%

The closest to being another type is F vs T, which fits me pretty well. My only problem is I don't think a lot of the tendencies fit me. While Im idealogical enough to hope for a better life, I doubt that I am the one who will help bring it about. The thought of being a social worker or psychologist is pretty depressing as I like to listen to others, but not necessarily other people blabbing about their lives.

Edited:

Introverted (I) 71% Extraverted (E) 29%
Intuitive (N) 73% Sensing (S) 27%
Thinking (T) 50% Feeling (F) 50%
Perceiving (P) 82% Judging (J) 18%

I took it again and got almost the same, with Thinking and Feeling at 50/50 it could go either way. Incidentally, I voted for INFP, what I got the first time.

INTP --> Thinker.

True to Intuitive form, I closed the window before I thought about posting the exact percentages.

We did this a few years ago at work, though. The thing that surprised everyone most was that I'm an Introvert. Everyone assumed that I'd be a strong Extrovert.

My theory there is that I just drew a line at some arbitrary level of intimacy that is almost impossible to cross. Anything outside that line is fair game. Gives a nice illusion that lets me work with customer-service type things.

ENTJ for me. It said that University Professor would be good career path for this personality and that is pretty much where my career is headed.

I must say, I'm blown away by the statistical anomaly that is the abundance of IN_P's on here. That's quite intriguing.

ENTJ

Although I generally don't have much faith in personality tests, I suppose this result isn't far off the mark.

I've done three MB personality tests since I was 17, in 1988, and have consistently been on the ENTJ/INTJ borderline. Interestingly, it seems that in the last few years I've become less judgemental, although my perception is that I've become more judgemental - but hey, I'm not exactly perceptive.

It's also interesting that "possible career paths" for both ENTJs and INTJs includes my chosen profession - lawyer. I'm also a DM far more often than I'm a player, as I gain more pleasure from controlling a situation than being subject to it... I do like the quote for ENTJ's, which seems particularly apt for a pitiless DM - "I'm sorry you have to die..."

Cheers, Al'Kelhar

My last go-around put me at ENFJ. The N and F are very weak (4 and 11 respectively), while the E and J are very strong (67 and 72 respectively) so I straddle four of the archetypes: Guardian, Caregiver, Executive and Giver.

This might explain why I almost always run the games.
