are these test realistic? or is it due to "horoscope/fortune telling factor"?

i'm INTP - and i think it describes me quite accurately.

I think this its realistic
mine 80% accurate

well it's based on answers you put to the questions that determine the result. they are quite accurate IF you answered the questions honestly.

and always answer based on your past actions/feelings. NOT based on who you rather be or what u think is right.

i think accurate if you answer based on your guts

come now, dont give yes no answer - please indicate your personality type and how true the description is to your life

I tested as an INTJ and I have to say, the description given is mostly accurate.

i am INTP anyway

Notice the difference between horoscope and personality tests is that you won't usually need to give an input in order to receive your horoscope but you'll definitely need an input to get your personality analysis. I'm ISTJ I think.

mind elaborate on the MBTI thing?

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MBTI

Here's a link to the test:
http://similarminds.com/jung.html

Folks,

I am ENTP. It describes me perfectly. And, my wife is a SJ. Which describe PERFECTLY on what kind of person that attracts me.

The MORE POWERFUL usage of MBTI is to to achieve UNDERSTANDING

For example,

E versus I

E will talk until they made a decision. They use talking to think.

I will ONLY talk after they reach a decision. I cannot talk and think at the same time.

For a I person when they see somebody (B) talk, they ASSUME that a decision had been made. But, if B is a E person, that means there is NO DECISION yet.

J versus P

J like closure. P like thing to leave out in the open aka flexible.

J tend to reach decision TOO QUICKLY.

P tend to procrastinate until last possible moment.

In a group with All J, decision will be reached too quickly without considering ALL POSSIBILITIES

In a group with all P, no decision will be reached.

A mixed group works a lot better.

You can use it another way too. Know your own weakness.

I am ENTP.

For my E side, I need to remind my I team mates that I am still thinking while I am talking. Or, I stay away from the I folks while I am talking and thinking and talking at the same time. For my I team mate, I will let them think away from the meeting and tell me their decision. Knowing that they cannot talk and think at the same time. They need to do their thinking ALONE.

And, so on.....

This is a TREASURE MINE if you know how to use it.

Dreamer

truly, as "I" i have often caught myself wandering silently around running through whatever possibility and scenario i can think of. in a group, i am content to lurk and listen to others quietly. in a debate, once i have spoken my point, i will stubbornly defend it (sometimes blindly without thinking) only after the dust has settle and i have my quiet time again that i will reinspect and readjust my views accordingly. so in order not to offend people and make a fool out of myself, i often keep quiet.

"P" in INTP stands for "procrastination". i remember taking 5 subjects (bio and physics) in STPM just to keep my option of medic and engineer open (though in hindsight, i was more interested in engineering then). not to mention i choose to go for A levels/STPM instead of jumping into foundation.

as an engineer, designs can always be changed. often i find that i change my design and the site guys tell me, physical work has commenced and its costly to change,

but surprisingly, phd school seem to attract a lot of NT people. and despite claims that INTP is one of the least common personality type, there's 2 self proclaimed INTP here already.

lin00b,

<< but surprisingly, phd school seem to attract a lot of NT people. and despite claims that INTP is one of the least common personality type, there's 2 self proclaimed INTP here already.>>

No, this is NOT surprising if you understand MBTI.

NT are thinkers... Alll other types like SJ, SP, and NF are not interested in an intellectual debate.

Dreamer

Moi c'est INTJ.

The system thinker/scientist.

Xuzen

The MBTI test relies on your current state of mind imho. I took one test alone and got INFP. Another time, my close friend helped verify my answers with his perspective on my life, and the test results were INTP.

Answering questions in relation with different times in my life also produce different results. Most recent resulted in INFP, a few months back while I was a little more busy trying to figure out my purpose in life produced INTP, while a few years back while I was still in school resulted in ISTP. Parents recollection on my childhood on the other hand got INTP again.

Seems like my only consistent trait throughout the tests is my introvert-ness.

Mesosmagnet,

I do not think so.

1) It is POSSIBLE that you in between T versus F and N and S.

2) T versus F is pretty clear. When you make a decision, do you decide base on principal or people.

A) If you would said the RIGHT thing, regardless of whether it hurts someone's feeling, you are a T

B) If you would said the WRONG thing just to protect someone's feeling, you are a F.

3) N versus S is pretty clear too. Some people are big picture people and some are detail person. When you look at something, you look at

A) Overall impact??

B) The detail??

Actually, only you KNOW what is your thinking process. Others do not know what is inside your mind.

Dreamer

P.S.: MBTI is a natural tendency. For example, some people are left handed and some people are right handed. This does not mean a person cannot learn to use the other hand instead. But, this is against their natural tendency.

This post has been edited by dreamer101: Feb 6 2010, 09:50 PM

maybe you are borderline NT.

but what others perceive you to be might not be the actual you.

and is all MBTI test equal? because while there is a certain style of question, some test are more detailed and longer while others are short and brief.

and i wonder if there can be someone who actually ranked exactly 50% in all 4 traits. meaning neither I or E; neither N of S; neither F or T; and neither P or J

lin00b,

Of course.. With 6 billions people, that possibility is HIGHLY likely. It is possible that the person has psychological problem too.

Dreamer

i am really into this since Form 3, my sad age. `T-T
It doesn't have to do with horoscope but more to your own
perspective on how you deal with your life as a person.

I did several time and it says an INTP I am.
Am sure it might change someday,
but I dont deny some of my traits really turn out to be like INTP.

you talk as if being INTP is bad.....

Is MBTI personality genetic (inherited) or circumstances (nurtured)?

Or both?

If both how is genetic or circumstances the dominant factor?

Thanks

Xuzen

more like left/right handedness maybe. they perform the best when acting out their personality, and unsupervised they tend to act in such a way, but it can be beaten/trained to another trait.

ie. a messy child being trained to be more organised.

Just adding another INFP to the thread. NT's may be interested in intellectual debate hence the number of NT's in this thread, but NF's are typically the "people-person" typeand naturally I'm one of those who love getting to know about people. Actually persuaded a lot of my friends to take the test, and started cataloging the results to assess the accuracy myself. I believe the test reveals the nature aspect of the human mind, but a person's background (nurture asepct) colors the personality type.

But, I'm happy there are others who are into this. What books do you guys have on MBTI? Some of my books:-

1. Please Understand Me
2. Please Understand Me II
3. Type Watching at Work

eque,

All of the above plus reading "Gift Differing".

Dreamer

is MBTI useful in human resource to find the best personality fit for a position? or would it be discrimination to say INTP cant work in entertainment etc? even if its useful, can a proper MBTI test be administered during interview process? as i think most will tend to lie under such stressful/critical situations.

eg. one of the MBTI question i see if "are deadline absolute or just guidelines?" now which sane interviewee would go and say "guidelines"?

lin00b,

<<MBTI question i see if "are deadline absolute or just guidelines?" now which sane interviewee would go and say "guidelines"?>>

Of course, no deadline is ABSOLUTE.

Depending on what kind of job that a person is applying to. Some answer is better than others.

<<is MBTI useful in human resource to find the best personality fit for a position? >>

Human resource is USELESS in any case.

<<would it be discrimination to say INTP cant work in entertainment etc? even if its useful, can a proper MBTI test be administered during interview process? >>

For a HIRING MANAGER, it is useful to figure out what kind of personality type that a person is. And, how does it fits in within existing group. And, why does a person need to administer a formal MBTI test to figure out a person's MBTI to begin with??

You are asking the WRONG question. In general, a DIVERSE MBTI types in a team works a lot better than a group with ONLY one type.

Diversity is good.

Dreamer

This post has been edited by dreamer101: Feb 18 2010, 12:09 AM

to you and me, maybe. others will go missed deadlines=underperforming/overpromising=bad

given that usually the hiring manager knows next to nothing about the applicant, how would he know that person's MBTI-type? the interview process is too brief to judge - given that nowadays "interview skill/tip/trick" is commonly used. (i know of people who has sample best answers to common interview question" memorized). even probation period (3 months, typically) is too short of a time to judge properly if that person is skilled enough to show a false "model employee" act.

not necessary, diversity in a team is good, but for certain position, you may want a certain personality fit. eg. putting a "big picture" guy in a position that requires precise detailing might not be correct.

which also brings another thought in my mind. given that upper management is generally "big picture" and operations is generally "small details" and both are important in a team, is it justified to pay more salary to management?

i'm of course refering to the common mantra of "technical skill will only get you so far" and Es are given more value in general than Is

lin00b,

<<given that usually the hiring manager knows next to nothing about the applicant,>>

Your statement is OBVIOUSLY wrong. Given that 80% of the position are filled before it even get posted, so most people are hired by referral / personal contact. The hiring manager knows a lot about the candidate through social network.

Interview in most cases are more formality than anything else.

<< which also brings another thought in my mind. given that upper management is generally "big picture" and operations is generally "small details" and both are important in a team, is it justified to pay more salary to management?>>

Will you give yourself less salary if you are in the management??

You need to learn "doing the job" interview...

INTJ to me. Quite accurate as what described.

This post has been edited by Dark Lord: Mar 8 2010, 07:14 PM

Personality tests are always flawed. The most accurate personality test will always be a test with 1 single question:

1) What type of person are you?

In which you fill in the blanks exactly what type of person would you like to be.

I'm an INFJ...90% accurate..

i'm ESTJ. took the test twice and got the same results. 8.7% of the pop is in this category.

frags,

If a person CHOOSE not to be honest, you cannot find out the TRUE personality type with this kind of test. But, why would a person CHOOSE not to answer those kind of question HONESTLY just for themselves?? It is VERY USEFUL to know oneself. 50% of the battle is won by that according to Sun Tzu.

Dreamer

I am INTP and INFP. How??? Is that possible???

I think both ring true to me. Could i possess two personality?? Last time i was INTP, and i describe myself last time as cold and cruel. But now whatever i try to change the test result, it keep come out INFP. I try manipulate the asnwer but it seem still INFP. AM i born hypocrite??

This post has been edited by communist892003: Mar 11 2010, 09:01 PM

strong I, strong N, strong P, borderline T/F. sure possible

NONONO, INTJ and INFP....how???

Just curious, I am not interested in this kind of test, so what am I? I do agree with psycho analyse / personality profile but if you know yourself as you people have taken the test and agree to the result, so it is for those who are not certain of who and what they are like communist892003, haha.

One of the tough question to ask is ask myself.

which is higher than average, since with 16 possible type, each type should have an equal 6.25%. but some rare type like INTP (like me) only has ~1.xx% of the population (if you ask me, i think this type find it hard to attract the opposite sex and pass on their genetic traits )

Joey Christensen @ The Guardian

Result came as follows:

Extroverted (E) 58.97% Introverted (I) 41.03%
Sensing (S) 51.16% Intuitive (N) 48.84%
Thinking (T) 67.65% Feeling (F) 32.35%
Judging (J) 65.71% Perceiving (P) 34.29%

As an ESTJ, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you deal with things rationally and logically. Your secondary mode is internal, where you take things in via your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion.

ESTJs live in a world of facts and concrete needs. They live in the present, with their eye constantly scanning their personal environment to make sure that everything is running smoothly and systematically. They honor traditions and laws, and have a clear set of standards and beliefs. They expect the same of others, and have no patience or understanding of individuals who do not value these systems. They value competence and efficiency, and like to see quick results for their efforts.

ESTJs are take-charge people. They have such a clear vision of the way that things should be, that they naturally step into leadership roles. They are self-confident and aggressive. They are extremely talented at devising systems and plans for action, and at being able to see what steps need to be taken to complete a specific task. They can sometimes be very demanding and critical, because they have such strongly held beliefs, and are likely to express themselves without reserve if they feel someone isn't meeting their standards. But at least their expressions can be taken at face-value, because the ESTJ is extremely straight-forward and honest.

The ESTJ is usually a model citizen, and pillar of the community. He or she takes their commitments seriously, and follows their own standards of "good citizenship" to the letter. ESTJ enjoys interacting with people, and likes to have fun. ESTJs can be very boisterous and fun at social events, especially activities which are focused on the family, community, or work.

The ESTJ needs to watch out for the tendency to be too rigid, and to become overly detail-oriented. Since they put a lot of weight in their own beliefs, it's important that they remember to value other people's input and opinions. If they neglect their Feeling side, they may have a problem with fulfilling other's needs for intimacy, and may unknowingly hurt people's feelings by applying logic and reason to situations which demand more emotional sensitivity.

When bogged down by stress, an ESTJ often feels isolated from others. They feel as if they are misunderstood and undervalued, and that their efforts are taken for granted. Although normally the ESTJ is very verbal and doesn't have any problem expressing themself, when under stress they have a hard time putting their feelings into words and communicating them to others.

ESTJs value security and social order above all else, and feel obligated to do all that they can to enhance and promote these goals. They will mow the lawn, vote, join the PTA, attend home owners association meetings, and generally do anything that they can to promote personal and social security.

The ESTJ puts forth a lot of effort in almost everything that they do. They will do everything that they think should be done in their job, marriage, and community with a good amount of energy. He or she is conscientious, practical, realistic, and dependable. While the ESTJ will dutifully do everything that is important to work towards a particular cause or goal, they might not naturally see or value the importance of goals which are outside of their practical scope. However, if the ESTJ is able to see the relevance of such goals to practical concerns, you can bet that they'll put every effort into understanding them and incorporating them into their quest for clarity and security.

As per quoted from personality page.


Profile by Sandra Krebs Hirsch and Jean Kummerow

ESTJs are doers who roll up their sleeves, dig in, and proceed directly to get the job done. They use logic and analysis as guiding principles for their lives. They are quick to decide and set a plan of action. They marshall resources in an organized fashion, implement, and follow through. They like closure. They focus directly on tasks to accomplish and are able to anticipate the steps needed to complete an assignment. In doing so, they see what might go wrong and take the necessary preventive action. They monitor events continually and make sure that commitments, both their won and those of others, are honored and the job gets done. They are at their best in situations that have some structure to them and involve activity, not contemplation, and in which an end product is desired.

Loving



Profile by David Keirsey

ESTJ'S are very much in touch with the external environment. They know their community and usually are pillars of strength. The best adjective to describe ESTJs would be responsible. They represent about 13 percent of the general population.

ESTJs are outstanding at organizing orderly procedures and in detailing rules and regulations. They like to see things done correctly. They tend to be impatient with those who do not carry out procedures with sufficient attention to those details, prescribed by those with the most experience, that will get the job done right.

ESTJs are comfortable in evaluating others and tend to judge how a person is doing in terms of standard operating procedures. They may, at times, be abrupt with those who do not follow rules correctly. ESTJs are realistic, matter-of-fact, and more curious about new devices and processes than about new principles and theories.

IM EMTJ, suitable in field marshal.(suited to be an executive)

Im currently thinkin of being either in electronic engineering or in business admin, just got my spm result and do quite good(just ok not so powah), view through my topic to see my result.

which one you reccommends me to take? electronic enginneer or business admin, based on job availablity and job growth, thank you

WHich personality is the most successful??

I am INFP, stastically earn lowest income, least get married...and much more

3dassets,

1) You are probably SP personality type. Aka, "just do it" kind of personality type.

<< I do agree with psycho analyse / personality profile but if you know yourself as you people have taken the test and agree to the result, so it is for those who are not certain of who and what they are like communist892003, haha.>>

2) Isn't it USEFUL to learn what kind of person that you are and avoid the COMMON MISTAKE that you LIKELY to repeat.

3) If you are SP type of personality, you have the TENDENCY to do a lot of STUFF that is USELESS. You LACK FOCUS and LONG TERM thinking. You JUST DO whatever is in front of YOU without THINKING whether it is IMPORTANT or USEFUL.

Most of people ask to take professional field like enginneering coz many jobs available, so i hav both interest in business n engineering.
Based on job growth and availability in next 5 years, which one recommended for me.tq

techies_kid,

<<TQ for reply dreamer, actually im have interest in electronic stuff, im enjoy repairing electronic stuff, like many gaming consoles, pc, etc>>

1) That is TECHNICIAN kind of interest. Not the engineer kind. Engineer wants to know HOW things work. We have an engineering thread in this forum that talk about this.

<<But i oso like business when i sold and bought things in lyn, well the art of nego so fascinate me.>>

2) So?? You do not NEED a degree for that. Just school of hard knock.

<< Most of people ask to take professional field like enginneering coz many jobs available, so i hav both interest in business n engineering. Based on job growth and availability in next 5 years, which one recommended for me.tq>>

3) This is a USELESS question. Average people do not get hired. You ONLY need ONE job. You EITHER have one or you don't. Who cares about the statistic like job growth and so on??

4) You could get a job with engineering or business degree. But, you MUST LOVE IT. You DO NOT want to spend most of your working life on something that you DO NOT LOVE. You could sell chicken rice too to make a living. What is the DIFFERENCE?? It is YOU.

5) It TAKES certain kind of people to be GOOD ENGINEER. And, that kind of people DO NOT CARE what is the job prospect for ENGINEERING. It is THEIR LOVE.

dreamer101,

two points i disagreed with u

1)Scientist want to know How things works, Engineer want to know How to Make thing works.. Actually technician and engineer had same interest, they just have different knowledge base..

3) Some ppl got more than 1 job,.. Job statistic is not useless, it's provide an indicator on supply and demand of jobs, like reading financial statement b4 making a financial investment.. though the interpretation is always very subjective..

I do agreed with u that to excel in any career u need a true loving attitude..

techies_kids,

no 1 could decide a career for u,.. After SPM is age 17 or 18? Find something that interest u and test it out on a field job (even the pay is low), if u r not just "hangat-hangat tahi ayam" then pursue that for ur tertiary education,.. ur kind of age is for exploration..

randyhow

ya bro,im oso searchin my most field where im enthusiast, coz i oso know, to be great, we shud put all our heart into the works.
xoxo im in big dilemma between choosing the two, but i feel i have more interest in business even i have been with electronic stf longer.


But well people around me ask me to enter professional field like medic and eng coz got more job. But yeah at the end, i will make a decision that come from my heart not influenced by other people. Also fren of my fren take that business adminstr and tell got less job scope.

Does business admin still gt job availabilties in near future, sorry to mess up this thread wif my fibrous brain.

by engineering field i mean jobs where you actually need to do engineering works and not upper management at an engineering company

Added on March 14, 2010, 2:10 pmyes, at the moment there are no known genes that control personality type. but isnt it strange that everyone has one of these 16 personality? if its not nature, it must be nurture? would INTP parents usually raise INTP kids? if if yes, and less INTP's are getting married, doesnt it mean that the percentage of INTP would be lesser than average?

not exactly true, while the gene pool need to be as big as possible, expressed traits are often streamlined to best fit the environment.

1)Well,.. i don't quite believe in this test.. b'cos every 1 of us had both side of characteristic, just in different time we behave differently in a different degree..

when u in fear, or angry, u actually more sensual than intuitive... when u r relax, u are more intuitive than sensual.. then again, human being as a mammal species is more a learning animal.. u can learn the other way round if u practice enuf... (u guys remember the experiment on wearing upside down glasses on a month?)

2)Theory of survival of the fittest always make Charles Darwin headache,.. peacock is a great example, It's tail is so heavy and tedious to escape from hunter had counter this theory.. Thats y currently survival of the Sexist is the true theory...

randyhow,

1) Do you WORK as an ENGINEER to begin with??

2) Most of the JOBS in Malaysia are NOT REAL ENGINEERING job.

<<Actually technician and engineer had same interest>>

3) No. A technician will just replace the CPU. An engineer will want to know how this CPU is better than the other. Why it is faster??

Dreamer

Dreamer,
This is a bit off topic, but since u insist..

1) Yes.. in some sense, i started as an apprentice technician of a lift company then i pick up electrical and electronics engineering majors in college, but drop out b4 i sitting for Engineering Council exam, Then become a saleman of an Engineering Company selling cable,.. mix with a lot of engineers, even my cousins few are engineers.. i also love to watch engineering stuff in T.V.

2) i agreed.. in Maresiah is who u know, it is never what u know..

3) No?? The technician may just replace cpu but he got the same interest with engineer.. the cpu...the different is just their knowledge base.. Engineer design and make something, technician do repair and maintain , technician follow the technical design by engineers, thats why they called technicians.. not same interest?

e.g.
Bridge engineer build bridge, technician repair and maintain bridge.. interest... bridge..
Engine engineer build engine, technician repair and maintain engine.. interest... engine..

Randy How

yeah offtopic hehe, agree with randyhow, even i used to replace cpu, i eagerly want to know how cpu work and thinkin of creating simple one. I oso read how cpu designed due to my interest, but not that deep. Engineer is just more deep in the field than technician but the curiosity and interest was there.

OT: 1st u need to know u want a career to make a living or u want to pursue ur interest,.. Engineering now is just a hobby for me.. i venture into other business already..
last advice.. if u insist wanna be engineer,.. be a specialist, find something niche, Electrical n electronic is too common, u can pick up hundreds in petaling street... like sewerage business, make tons of money... no competition.. just a bit smelly...

If you judge me by your standard, perhaps it seems that way. Repeat is against my will because that part depend on the source of income which I have tried very hard to avoid such as my job that reproduce the same because that is the product requirement. I tried to bring about improvement but was told that Malaysian market is not ready.

I cannot rely on existing market in order not to repeat, so the development is long and technology driven that may look useless just like the work of a researcher because the term useless as if you mean imediate application (comparing time & profit) as in an investment, that is why I am not in a hurry, not make one sell once but multiple times deliver goals indirectly than to promote a product as it is such as video game that exhaust one's creativity.

I already know myself that is why I am not interested in the details and would rather spent my remaining time contribute than treat retirement as investment just to live till the end comes. The second half of my life is not about work hard for money but live life and document reusable contents that I want to leave behind, your idiology is not the ultimate and here telling everyone what is right and wrong according to your interpretation of IMPORTANT & USEFUL.

Respect come from both ways, a wiswman should know better.

Macam mana?? Not listed, so i am in wrong field??

personality type is just a guideline. its not some set in stone rule that say you have to be in so and so field because you behave so and so

Here is two ways you can check out about the person:

1. In lowyat forum, look at the posts.
2. search the username in google or any activity mentioned in their posts.

I get a lot of people trying to find who own my website in the whois domain search, or at lowyat profile, try type your own username and see. From the user's posts, you can estimate what the person is up to and from the user's participated topics, you will notice the social status. Combine what you read and you are likely to derived the answers to your questions.

Such profile method is to determine your state of mind at presence, I have lived long enough to evaluate my past and nothing have changed except knowledge and experience, I am still the same person in the past 10 years, that exhibit persistence in my character mainly I have no improvement in social status (monetary) and likely to remain the same until I made a change.

You are exploring your potential from 20-30 and are judged by social economy status from 30 and beyond, that is what dreamer101 is doing. When knowledge & experience cannot be reuse or WORTHLESS after 55, retirement means non productive and usually anxious about investments, it began at the age of 40 as most of my friends are planning for.

Understand your character is important and understand behavioral pattern helps keep you from repeating the norm, I dare to say I am not in the norm because I move from providing service to product creation, hence age does not matter. Money changing hands is a cycle, where do you fit yourself is the question, the creator / manufacture profit the most while the last person to receive the money is a slave to the economy.

When you feel like somebody in the MBTI, do something to prove that you are.

vincentlee,

I do not know what your MBTI type is. But, I am pretty sure that it is NOT one of those NT type.

Dreamer

I took the test and found the questions are way too general and how long ago was it created? I remember the only such test when I apply a job at Royal Selangor Pewter and it was much more complicated, I didn't take the job because I am only a production staff and feel silly that they need to screen us in such manner, kind of over killed. The manager told me he is slightly higher than me, silly protocol by the standard.

It is insignificant to assume oneself XXXX and then shown the people who share the rating. So what? Like I said, do something to proof that you are if you haven't got any achievement, I got my proven results which is why I am not interest in the first place, no surprise for me. INTP.

If you put all answers to NO, you are ESTJ a.k.a The guardian. What a joke this has been.

well, the point of this thread is not to go, yeah, i'm XXXX, i should/shouldnt do this/that. (which is wrong)

but rather, hmm, i'm XXXX, the description fits/dont fit my personality as my and/or people who knows me say i am.

which also leads to whether these tests are accurate/not accurate in describing who you are.

it may also point out stuff that you dont realize, but is true.

and note that there is no better/worse/ranking of personality type. all have its own strength and weaknesses

mine is ESFJ

INTJ here.

INFJ here..

INTJ here too.

INTJ , is this one of the rarest personality types ?

Yea. The test said that I am of the same personality as 3.3% of everyone else. And wikipedia states that INTJ's form about 1 - 4% of the population.

according to here, INFJ is the rarest statistically at 1.5% of a survey. but given 16 types, the average %age should be around 6.25%, so the offset is not that much

from that survey, NTs seemed to be relatively rare while SF and ST seemed to be greatly overrepresented

i got the same type too , but in another test i got INTP , weird

INTJ here....

INTP. this is LYN where geeks gather. it's expected to see some INTPs here.
Try join those MBTI type mail groups/forums and you will see there are thousands more. the percentage that you see in the results are estimated from the population of the world

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?
