At first I thought people dislike me.
So I am being negative and avoiding.

Introverted (I) 66.67% Extroverted (E) 33.33%
Intuitive (N) 68.57% Sensing (S) 31.43%
Thinking (T) 69.7% Feeling (F) 30.3%
Perceiving (P) 57.14% Judging (J) 42.86%

Your type is: INTP

I did the test again and I am INTP.
Somehow I feel I am being special.

I am INTP but I Found out that some of the description does not suit me...

did you ,
choose the description according to your interest ( not reflective of yourself but you chose it anyway because it seems better )
or choose the ones that best describe you ?

INTJ here.

Question: Does anybody here manage to overcome the introverted part and manage to become somewhat friendly to people?

that's not introversion generally means


Extraversion and Introversion

Ok, I read about the profile about INTJ and generally they say those who has this personality are loners.

may be they tend to be loners but it is , as wiki describes , a social preference rather than social discomfort

So there's a choice to be a people person then by rigidly applying "does it work" thinking towards human social dynamics?

cool.

sorry , i don't understand what you mean , mind rephrasing the whole question ?

i'm definitely ISTJ. any ISTJ wants to share their stories with me?

INFJ

oh, i just studied about this MBTI thingy in the course of Introduction to Management in my uni. but havent take any test though. haha

ISTJ here. Took the test long time ago, if i remember correctly, it's ISTJ.

What can I say.... people just dont understand ISTJ.

ISTP

Introverted (I) 68.97% Extroverted (E) 31.03%
Sensing (S) 51.35% Intuitive (N) 48.65%
Thinking (T) 71.43% Feeling (F) 28.57%
Perceiving (P) 62.86% Judging (J) 37.14%

True enough, I'm an introvert. I don't like working in a team. (I)

Quite true too because I'm not sure whether I prefer looking at the big picture or the details. (50/50 S or N)

True enough, I make decisions based on logic. (T)

True enough, I don't like to plan and I schedule my daily tasks inside my head instead of writing it down. (P)

I kinda swing between INTP/INTJ here. Sometimes my forceful, directive personality makes me ENTJ-like. The MBTI isn't cast in stone. In psychology, the Big Five has far more weight in being a reliable indicator of personality preferences (or type).

Hi Blofeld,

So, according to Keirsey Temperament Sorter, you are a Crafter Artisan as Crafters correlate with the ISTP Myers-Briggs type. You like to take time to analyze information and make logical decisions. When presented with a problem or a task, you immediately begin to logically think the situation through by collecting information, asking yourself questions, and looking for the best course of action. You like to relate principles of science, technology, or other areas of expertise to problem solving, and you like to find ways to try your ideas and test your conclusions. As a Crafter, you enjoy playing with things to see what will happen.

Since you have started on the PhD program in Organizational Behavior, what topic in OB do you like the most? Essentially you'll provide consultancy services to firms that apply performance-based rewards to leverage the power of OB practices, which translate into more favorable employee attitudes, decisions, and performance. Who knows the future, ASTRO might call you to host a TV program to confer “the best place to work” awards to companies that earn it.

Thank you Critical_Fallacy for opening up my eyes on this Keirsey Temperament Theory.

After reading more on Artisan Crafter, I realised I'm not an ISTP afterall although some of the descriptions may fit me. But....

* I'm definitely not an Artisan Crafter because I do not like to play with tools and engines.

* I do not like to expose myself to dirt and danger.

Since I'm on the verge between sensing and intuition and after reading more on Rational Architect, I would say I'm more of an INTP (Rational Architect). Why?

* I like designing theoretical systems or to conjure theoretical analysis.

* I prefer working alone and I work best alone.

* I may be a quiet person but when comes to public speaking/debate, I may be a fiery speaker

* And I would say the entire description fits me well.

* And coincidentally, I like drawing/painting and architect was one of my childhood ambition but somehow I didn't end up as an architect

I like to work more with creative pragmatic ideas and analysis rather than to delve myself into practical stuff dealing with tools and engines. And perhaps that's why I decided to quit the corporate world because I find corporate "practical" administrative work boring and meaningless.

I like any topics on Organisational Behaviour or Organisational Psychology but fairness in the workplace is something that strikes me. Workplace fairness interests me maybe because I experienced inequity in the workplace in the past. I like any OB topics as long as I can conjure or play around with any theoretical frameworks and to propose an idealistic but pragmatic work place.

And wow.... you could really read my mind because I enjoy and I always look forward to hosting a program one day.

Then we may have a lot in common, Mr. Architect.

Talking about organizational justice, fairness is a rather well-established influence on employee loyalty and satisfaction. For example, lower-level employees may feel a greater sense of fairness and open communication when they are able to provide upward feedback about their boss’s performance. Perhaps, this kind of phrase “Inclusive Meritocracy” may hook you.

I have searched and there isn't a thread about OB. Shouldn't you start a fresh topic about OB in PhD School? I believe some of us (post-grads & post-docs), having had some working experience, may contribute something meaningful such as Workplace Emotions and Attitudes, Power and Influence in the Workplace, Conflict and Negotiation in the Workplace, etc. to your research.

Wow....u know a lot. You surprised me.

I thought you are from the science field. Exactly which field are you from?

Inclusive meritocracy is a term I have not heard before. Thank you for the suggestion. I think I had enough of reading OB topics day in day out from the articles. Haha. Instead, I am actually thinking of opening a fresh topic on statistical analysis and at least everyone can ask questions about statistics and anyone can help answering them.

Well, I'm still trying to understand bootstrapping now.

The Baron and Kenny's (1986) approach to mediation analysis is said to be outdated, and now, Preacher and Hayes (2004; 2008) introduce a new approach to mediation analysis (bootstrapping).

Right! Applied Science.

By the way, could you share your insights on "How to deal with Aggressive, Bad & Crazy (ABC) Slave-Driving Bosses ... and survive the ordeal?"
