IRL I'd probably sit in the corner with a Capri Sun and a book about British hauntings

Why do you think that is.

Cause my friends probably wouldn't be there

My point was going to be that I'd 100% say you're extroverted.

Oh

Really?

I don't like talking to people most of the time

Maybe I'm wrong, that's just the impression I get.

Anyways, I personally think I'm an INFJ -- Introverted, intuitive, feeling, judging.

Oss was right on the money, I have extroverted tendencies. These are learned, though.

I would say I have a very slight lean to "feeling", but only in regards to myself. In an objective, hypothetical sense, I'm all thinking. This can be seen when I'm trying to listen or comfort someone; help them make decisions.

Oddly, I didn't get this answer once on any of my tests. I got ENTJ and INTJ, twice each.

Some pretty cool people who happen to share my personality type:

- Plato (ironic, because I used to be known as "Plato's Advocate" on certain platforms.)
- Schopenhauer (Shocker.)
- Osama
- Hitler
- Jay Gatsby (I've never connected with a fictional character as much as him, so this was no surprise to me.)
- Clark Kent from Man of Steel (Don't ask me, I have no idea.)
- Voldemort
- Yoda
- Loki
- Batman (He's probably an INTJ, though.)

i vacillate between ISTJ, INFJ, and INTJ

Mostly INTJ myself

You strike me more as a INFP.

That sounds like me

I'm a keen judge of character.

Personal bias does not give true results. Also most of these personality tests are usually kind of iffy. If you want a true answer go to a psychologist, cause no one is truly boxed into one category and are a mix and match of a bunch.

It's like saying I am scorpio so this is what I am like or I am a virgo and this what I like. It's bullshit and is not going to help you.


Also introvert are not all quiet, some introvert are really expressive and really put themselves out there. Same as extroverts, some people who are extroverts may look and be considered introvert.

I am referring to anyone who tries to validate who they are with these tests. Or try to force themselves to believe they are some special type of person with this detail, when in reality they are likely wrong.

These tests are great and all for people who study this, but for the layman they are really not going to help as you need a psychiatrist to actually understand you, and even there there is some issue. And these categories are stupid. Plus these tests are just basic bullshit.

I don't think there are many idiot like that on our site.

Briggs isn't 100% accurate because of bias and human perception but in theory it's spot-on.

Not true, it is actually a meaningless test. I mean you could get a better result of your personality by using Astrology and saying this is your character traits based on your start sign.

I don't think astrology is meaningless, either. I don't believe that where the stars were placed on the date of your birth has anything to do with your personality, but the way our society grooms our children's timetables (the new year being in January, school starting in September, grouping kids together based on age, etc.) has a lot more to do with it. Call it confirmation bias, I don't care.

That being said these things are more for fun than anything else. I'm technically an ares, but you wouldn't know it from talking with me. Same with the Briggs test.

Maybe I just don't see the true purpose of the tests. Every professional I've ever been to has had me take one kind of test or another.

Which I say it is fun, but never call yourself that as it just creates a bias in which you start making decisions based on those made up personality, when in reality people are more complicated. People can be introverted with extrovert qualtities and vice versa. But as people always end up wanting to shoe hole themselves into.these boxes I prefer if people just ignore them.

I can't see any reason to do that. These tests aren't helping you fit into a specific mold, they're just what you are. I am introverted, intuintive, feeling and judgmental.

No you are not. The concept was created by Jung a professional but he even knew that it was wrong because everyone is an exception to the rule.

This test was created by a bunch of family of amatuers with no formal education on psychology. It is a bullshit test which has no meaning. And you are deluding yourself in following it.

Where is Mr. Psychologist when you need him.
