Myers-Briggs Personality breakdown of ENWorld members

[kenjib]

I took this test once in a computer science class. The class was something like 90% INTJs, could be nicknamed "The Nerd". I felt like a precious unique snowflake with my ENTP.

Your sig pic cracks me up. Nice job. Hehehe.

Still nutureing...is that good? Not very fun or glamorous anyway...

I sat in one of these 2 years ago for work, it didnt work then for me and I didnt make any sense to the person giving the test at the time.

So I fudged it for her so I didnt make waves

Taking it again honestly, yup, its still a crock of crap thats lumped me into something that Im not. If anyone wants to really know what my personality is like I pity them and wont need to tick a multiple choice quiz.
Its quite simple.

55% bastard.
45% apathetic

Your personality type is ISTP.

Introverted (I) 96% Extraverted (E) 4%
Sensing (S) 55% Intuitive (N) 45%
Thinking (T) 65% Feeling (F) 35%
Perceiving (P) 59% Judging (J) 41%

It seems to fit well for me.

I've taken the Myers Briggs multiple times as well and always come out ENTP. Someone above characterized J vs. P as "make a decision" vs. "can't we all get along", but that isn't really accurate in my understanding, P is more of an "I like to keep my options open until the last second, and gather data and think until then" and J is "make a decision as soon as possible so we can move on and work". Sometimes I like to joke that P doesn't stand for Perception, but for Procrastination.

Looking at the data, it seems the types that are significantly underrepresented in proportion to the population are ISFJ and ESFJ. Whereas INTJ, INTP, and INFP are popping up here in clearly greater numbers than their proportion to the population. Interesting...

It would be interesting to do a more simple analysis to break down the split between E vs. I, S vs. N, T vs. F, and J vs. P and see what the split is there for people on ENWorld. I believe they set up the test so most of the above traits split 50%/50%.

I'm curious to see if one personality type is more prevalent among gamers. Will be interesting to see if there is. My guess is, that there is a high percentage of introverted thinkers here, as there is in the computer world.

Well, I'm an INTJ. However, I thought about adding this to my MBA Research Project (which was looking at the personality types of gamers), but my prof had a fit about adding to many variables, so I didn't.

Firstly I have to say that I honestly did check boxes other than the 'i'm really in between options

That being said...It lists my type as Visionary but my results suggest that I'm actaully divided between that and a Thinker and also between inspirer and idealist. Plus I'm nearly balanced in the intuitive/sensing catagory. I think that this fits me (the jobs I am SEERIOUSLY considering are completely split between the four types) but I don't know exactly what to make of it...

Any thoughts?

Your personality type is ENTP (if anything i think I am more Extraverted than this suggests)

Extraverted (E) 50% Introverted (I) 50% (complete split)
Intuitive (N) 55% Sensing (S) 45% (pretty balanced)
Feeling (F) 50% Thinking (T) 50% (again complete split)
Perceiving (P) 74% Judging (J) 26%

 

[Liquide]

Your personality type is INTP.

Introverted (I) 82% Extraverted (E) 18%
Intuitive (N) 73% Sensing (S) 27%
Thinking (T) 70% Feeling (F) 30%
Perceiving (P) 68% Judging (J) 32%

Well let's see then

What do I do for a living and what hobbies do I have

Mushroom Farmer (Full-time job)
Programmer / System Developer (part-time job / hobby)
Design / Layout (part-time job / hobby)
Illustrations & Art (hobby)

Introverted (I) 79% Extraverted (E) 21%
Intuitive (N) 86% Sensing (S) 14%
Feeling (F) 70% Thinking (T) 30%
Perceiving (P) 86% Judging (J) 14%

I've taken versions of this test several times, and these are the most pronounced results I've ever had. Usually, I am fairly evenly balanced on the I/E and F/T scales. Perhaps the change is related to it being the final, grinding, stretch run of the semester, so I have a strong urge to find a hole to hide in and be alone with my thoughts. . .

Hmm... I just remembered seeing a poll on some April Fool's day where there was a poll (which mod is best? or something like that) with obviously-faked results (10,000 votes / 3 votes / 107 votes or the like). Maybe this was on different board software?

Ah, ok, I can change the number of votes on each option. I'm scared to mess with that though.. oh well, one vote either way won't matter (as we all learned in the 2000 elections).
