What's your personality type?

[pokerjo22]

Inspired by all the rating's questions, I thought I'd include a more pseudoscientific approach to profiling OOTiots. Of course, we'll have to ignore the fact that some personality types are more likely to know their personality type. To kick it off I'm an INTJ, although the I is pretty borderline.

[bosoxfan]

what are the chances of you putting in a legend?

[pokerjo22]

Well, I decided not to do that, so that people don't just guess their personality type. I will do once there are more votes in though.

You realize people that have no idea what this is are just filling in randomly? And severely skewing your results?

Without a legend won't you get more guesses? Or was this meant for those with their personality type already defined and known?

[pokerjo22]

Maybe, although random shouldn't skew the results /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

But that's also why you can see the votes without having to have voted.

I dunno, are people really gonna guess what four letters best describe them? If I give the labels, they definitely will.

You have to fill in a questionnaire that runs to something like 100 questions. And its proprietary so I can't linky it. So yeah, its for people that have already done it.

[A_C_Slater]

Even if they do know what you're talking about, these personality tests are usually indicative of what a person likes to think of their personality as being.

[jakethebake]

Maybe we should supply our own legend then. I'll start...

I'm an ISFJ - Idiotic Stupid [censored] Jackass

[pokerjo22]

Alright - this is the best I can do, a link to a questionnaire which is 'like' the original test (which I guess gets around copyright or whatever). Just enter don't know when it asks for your personality type.

If some are choosing randomly, it will skew because the actual distribution is not uniform over all 16 possibilities..

So you think people are gravitating towards the INTP letter combination without actually knowing what it means? Do you know that only 3.3% of the general population is INTP?

ENFP

I seem to be in the minority here. Not that I really understand what it means...

*Edit* Heh, I was going to claim BS on this, then I read these things about the ENFP type, all very "me":

* However, attention span in relationships can be short
* they tend to get bored quickly, especially if a newer, more interesting project comes along
* They also tend to be procrastinators, both about meeting hard deadlines and about performing any small, uninteresting tasks that they've been assigned
* Amazingly, some ENFPs are adept at exacting disciplines such as mathematics.
* ENFPs hate bureaucracy, both in principle and in practice;
* They have a strong need to be independent, and resist being controlled or labelled
* They can talk their way in or out of anything
* They are genuinely warm and interested in people, and place great importance on their inter-personal relationships

[IndieMatty]

I always call bullshit on these things. But Jung knows his shizzy.

These results are likely to be messed up because of the random votes, but this was posted before and the vast majority of the people were INxx. There was one version of INxx that was by far the most popular. I am INTJ, and I remember either the T or the J was off from the most popular choice, but I don't remember which. I am to incompetent to use the search function otherwise I would find the thread for you.

ESTPs are spontaneous, active folks. Like the other SPs, ESTPs get great satisfaction from acting on their impulses. Activities involving great power, speed, thrill and risk are attractive to the ESTP. Chronic stifling of these impulses makes the ESTP feel "dead inside."

Yup, that's me.

To an ESTP, admission of weakness feels like failure.

Not even close.

[Popinjay]

I'm ENTP. The lawyer type /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Though most everything written about them fits me pretty well

[pokerjo22]

Yeah, I know. I didn't want to bias the choices before seeing the results though. The INTP profile even states: "Games NTs seem to especially enjoy include Risk, Bridge, Stratego, Chess, Go, and word games of all sorts".

But still the effect is pretty big.

INTPs account for 3% of the general population, INTJs 1% and yet they account for 50% of OOT so far.

[tbach24]

I actually clicked INTP before you provided the link for the thing by accident. Guess you can count me out.

This has it (and it looks like my original figures were off, although INTJ+INTP should still only be 8%).

[antidan444]

ISTJ here.

[stabn]

ESTP because it is an anagram for pest.

[The Stranger]

INFP, but I'm pretty borderline in every catagory. I guess that means I have a balanced personality. Either that or inconsistant.

My highest score in any direction was 59% introverted.

[Ponks]

I'm ESTP now. A few years ago when I did this in Psych class I was INTP. Interesting the switch.

"ESTP - "Promotor". Action! When present, things begin to happen. Fiercely competitive. Entrepreneur. Often uses shock effect to get attention. Negotiator par excellence. 4.3% of total population. "

I find this is be very accurate, although not the shock thing.

INTJ

[Skipbidder]

ISTP.
I was, rather ridiculously, required to attend one of these sessions in med school.
Nearly completely I. I can't recall whether it was 100% or 1 question away from it.
S/N is fairly close to neutral. The questions for this axis are quite poorly worded. I suspect that better wording for the questions would place me as N rather than S.

I continue to have serious doubts about the validity of this test.
