What Personality Type Are You?

I have been looking at 16 personalities again, and I have spent, well, a little too much time looking at it. And it says a lot about me and I'm like "That's spot on," it's really strange, and 90% of the time, the surveys they have, I match to whichever is most common within my personality type. And I find them really interesting to see.

What personality (In the Meyer-Briggs Test) are you?


I am personally an ENFP (-T)(If you use a test with the last letter).


Also just my guess, I think on here there are going to be a lot of IXTX (The X's mean, those don't matter which they get, but the ones filled in do), it just seems to really fit fishkeeping. (Says the EXFX)

 

All I remember is that I got "I" for introverted, but I don't really want to talk about it...

 

I got Virtuoso ISTP-A (twice)

16% Extrovert / 84% Introvert
33% Intuitive / 67% Observant
61% Thinking / 39% Feeling
40% Judging / 60% Prospecting
56% Assertive / 44% Turbulent

(I think it was INTP).

 

I'm a Hungarian Kuvasz.

Oh, different test?

 

I'm not a big fan of those tests. They're definitely a big step up from astrology. But I wouldn't place much stock in them. They're good fun though. And I suppose that the process of thinking about the questions can help you reflect on yourself and your behaviors which is a good thing.

I think those tests are a decent evaluation of how we think about ourselves, and how we perceive our own behavior. But not great at determining how we actually are, or how others perceive us.

They're a guided self portrait. Nothing more.

I see people who lean too far into it. They allow it to define their entire personality. And they end up behaving and making choices based on that definition of the themselves, rather than making thoughtful decisions.

I'm a "WXYZ" personality, so I wouldn't like that activity, or I wouldn't be good at that job, or I can't do that thing. That's not a thoughtful way to make a choice.

Just remember, its a tool to help you understand yourself and your behaviors a little better. Its not a comprehensive or even objective analysis of who you are.

 

I always test as a sociopath, but I don't care.

Although I see your point, if you try to answer honestly, it will show how you think. I look at the surveys and try to make sure I don't think because I am a certain personality I would answer this way. Whilst you will always be a little off on how you really are, it should give accuracy. And, I don't as much use it as a tool of how to act, but as it shows me personally being less self-motivated in mundane and monotonous things, it also gives advice that would be helpful, like how to combat it. And I personally believe you should act as you think, so at least for me, my actions (I think haha) reflect my thinking.

 

It will do a fair job of showing you how you perceive your own thought process. Which is not necessarily how you actually think. Accurate self-evaluation is hard. Honesty isn't the problem. You can be honest and wrong at the same time.

And here's something else to ponder. The evaluation says that you have trouble being self-motivated for mundane and monotonous things. That rings true to you, so you assume the test is bang on.

But is anyone self-motivated doing mundane and monotonous things?

Did the test actually provide an insight into your personality? Or, did it just throw out a statement that 95% of people will identify with in order to make those people feel like the results are more insightful than they really are?

I'm not saying there's nothing positive to gain from the self-evaluation you do in these tests. We just need to remember that even honest self-evaluation isn't necessarily accurate. And its pretty easy for these tests to "hit" if they make broad stroke statements that the majority of people identify with.

But for the record. I'm INTJ-A, architect.

 

I am an INFJ-A (Advocate). Supposedly the rarest personality type of them all.

In other tests I am labeled an Accommodator/Avoider which falls in line with the INFJ-A assessment. I am an idealist/perfectionist that puts others need first at my own expense - which is the story of my life and I am okay with that. This also probably explains why I am quite happy alone - even after a divorce following a 31 year marriage. Living alone I don't have to accommodate anyone.

Anyway I always find these tests to be fun to take - and how they generally are pretty accurate.

46% Extraverted/54% Introverted
58% Intuitive/42% Observant
46% Thinking/54% Feeling
90% Judging/10% Prospecting
99%Assertive/1% Turbulent

Fellow advocates? MLK, Nelson Mandela, Morgan Freeman and Mother Teresa...which is funny because Mother Teresa is one of my heroes.

 

I find all these tests unrealiable and being derived from Jung and Freud it is the same category to me as homeopathy or psychics. Astrology has the same rate of hitting characterizations as these tests.

 

ESTJ-A, everytime lol

 

ISTP-T, which really got me on the ‘this isn’t far from astrology’ boat.
It’s pretty much completely wrong, mostly because Virtuosos are supposed to be calm, go-with-the-flow, and almost dangerously chill; and I am an anxiety riddled mess consistently bordering on a mental breakdown

it did get the asexuality and trust issues right so I guess that’s something though.

Though with at least one of my friends (The only I've asked) I guessed from how they acted what they got on their test and they got what I had guessed, it would be interesting to see how accurate I could be with others, if this was just a one off.

Though, it was not showing monotonous things the actual phrasing I believe was "Having a daily schedule that repeats," that my personality type would hate that, and it shows some other personalities, that love a rigid structure to their day.

 

I don’t want to take one of these tests …

however I did stumble across a video the other day that said if you’re an empath , you’re likely a people pleaser , if you’re a people pleaser you’re likely a perfectionist, if you’re a perfectionist you’re likely a procrastinator, if you’re a procrastinator to likely to put off tasks because why bother when it won’t be perfect. You also don’t take care of your own needs…

sheesh. Well, call me out then make me feel bad about it. I’ll just procrastinate on processing this then ignore my emotions to it , thanks

But regardless of this specific one, there are a lot of surveys where I match quite similarly, and I pretty much disregard tests where I test on the majority side, but it says all personalities have a high percentile of this answer, as that doesn't really mean anything other than being human. I look at ones where it is unique to my personality. An example of what one might look like after you look take the test(The question was would you as your dream superhero be chaotic or organized)(Sorry I had to split it into 2 screenshots):

 

Just another thing is they don't base what you will most likely be by the traits, but rather the survey answers from the traits/observations. So even if you are truly a so-and-so in a perfect system, it may be people who truly have INTP answer the questions to be an ENTP, but since it isn't based on the letters and based on the people who have tested for that, it is still accurate if you catch what I am saying.

 

ISTP-A
71% introverted

67 observant

61 thinking

57 prospecting

63 assertive.

Guess I'm pretty even.

 

I’m the Campaigner! (ENFP-T) I take it once a year and still get the same one.
Edit - looks like we have the same one SouthAmericanCichlids ! We must think similarly. (Or at least answered the questions on the test similarly )

 

Right well I had to take the test didn’t I. * rolls eyes *

INFP-T.

93% introvert , I’d share the rest but I’d rather keep it to myself …

 

I'm an INTJ-T
