What is your personality?

[Redbeard]

I was wondering what kind of personalities we have here at the forums.
If you haven't taken it before then go here (http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp) and take the test and then post what your results are. You will be given 4 letters that describe your personality. Then if you take the test you should look up your personality and read what "experts" say about you. It really is dead on, at least for me.

By the way I'm a INTJ.

Nice test - I've taken similar ones. Your right, this describes me almost perfectly. Everything about these reports is completely correct.

Turns out I am amongst less than 2 percent of the entire population, being an ENTJ, or Extraverted iNtuitive Thinking Judging. I always knew I was wierd. Lol

For anyone that cares.... another personality test suggests that....

Stability results were very high which suggests you are extremely relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.

Orderliness results were high which suggests you are overly organized, reliable, neat, and hard working at the expense too often of flexibility, efficiency, spontaneity, and fun.

Extraversion results were very high which suggests you are overly talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting at the expense too often of developing your own individual interests and internally based identity.

trait snapshot:

clean, likes large parties, outgoing, makes friends easily, optimistic, positive, social, high self control, traditional, assertive, rarely irritated, self revealing, open, finisher, high self concept, controlling, rarely worries, tough, likes to stand out, does not like to be alone, semi neat freak, fearless, dominant, trusting, organized, resolute, strong, practical, craves attention, adventurous, hard working, respects authority, brutally honest, realist, altruistic

[Slug Toy]

evidently i am an ENTP

the descriptions are accurate in my opinion... quick and rather perverse wit, devils advocate (whatever that means), love to argue even if for no reason, i can confuse or hurt people who dont understand my way of thinking, problem solver, i usually outsmart myself, i have a lot of toys that i get tired of quickly and cycle through on a regular basis, im an optimist and am for some reason annoyed by the small things quite regularly, if you dont harass me i can be quite friendly, i form sudden and shocking relationships and can usually find people very similar to me, and i like the last bit.... "ENTPs tend to be oblivious of the rest of humanity, except as an audience -- good, bad, or potential."

damn, that is really accurate now that i read over it again. apparently i am part of a very select group of industrious and inventive people (as a more broad description).

*calls to the back*
EVERYONE.... COME TRY THIS!!!

.... and then they all come flooding in.

Pretty much me. It was hard to answer certain questions.

INTJ...
and it's at least partly true. This was to the tee: "... many also find it useful to learn to simulate some degree of surface conformism in order to mask their inherent unconventionality." (http://typelogic.com/intj.html)

Since I'm partly pissed off by the organisation I work in (Swedish Uni) I tend to work for changes at high levels (ie involvment in different work groups) but the very things I want to change I also have to conform to, since I need to be accepted into the groups I work in. Therefore the "simulate some degree of surface conformism" is a necessity. Lovely formulation, actually.

fun stuff anyways; got me to kill off some work time.

Sorry for the double post, but holy hell!

Extraverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging
by Joe Butt

Profile: ENFJ
Revision: 3.0
Date of Revision: 23 Feb 2005

ENFJs are the benevolent 'pedagogues' of humanity. They have tremendous charisma by which many are drawn into their nurturant tutelage and/or grand schemes. Many ENFJs have tremendous power to manipulate others with their phenomenal interpersonal skills and unique salesmanship. But it's usually not meant as manipulation -- ENFJs generally believe in their dreams, and see themselves as helpers and enablers, which they usually are.

ENFJs are global learners. They see the big picture. The ENFJs focus is expansive. Some can juggle an amazing number of responsibilities or projects simultaneously. Many ENFJs have tremendous entrepreneurial ability.

ENFJs are, by definition, Js, with whom we associate organization and decisiveness. But they don't resemble the SJs or even the NTJs in organization of the environment nor occasional recalcitrance. ENFJs are organized in the arena of interpersonal affairs. Their offices may or may not be cluttered, but their conclusions (reached through feelings) about people and motives are drawn much more quickly and are more resilient than those of their NFP counterparts.

ENFJs know and appreciate people. Like most NFs, (and Feelers in general), they are apt to neglect themselves and their own needs for the needs of others. They have thinner psychological boundaries than most, and are at risk for being hurt or even abused by less sensitive people. ENFJs often take on more of the burdens of others than they can bear.
TRADEMARK: "The first shall be last"

This refers to the open-door policy of ENFJs. One ENFJ colleague always welcomes me into his office regardless of his own circumstances. If another person comes to the door, he allows them to interrupt our conversation with their need. While discussing that need, the phone rings and he stops to answer it. Others drop in with a 'quick question.' I finally get up, go to my office and use the call waiting feature on the telephone. When he hangs up, I have his undivided attention!

The Idealists called Teachers are abstract in their thought and speech, cooperative in their style of achieving goals, and directive and extraverted in their interpersonal relations. Learning in the young has to be beckoned forth, teased out from its hiding place, or, as suggested by the word "education," it has to be "educed." by an individual with educative capabilities. Such a one is the eNFj, thus rightly called the educative mentor or Teacher for short. The Teacher is especially capable of educing or calling forth those inner potentials each learner possesses. Even as children the Teachers may attract a gathering of other children ready to follow their lead in play or work. And they lead without seeming to do so.

Teachers expect the very best of those around them, and this expectation, usually expressed as enthusiastic encouragement, motivates action in others and the desire to live up to their expectations. Teachers have the charming characteristic of taking for granted that their expectations will be met, their implicit commands obeyed, never doubting that people will want to do what they suggest. And, more often than not, people do, because this type has extraordinary charisma.

The Teachers are found in no more than 2 or 3 percent of the population. They like to have things settled and arranged. They prefer to plan both work and social engagements ahead of time and tend to be absolutely reliable in honoring these commitments. At the same time, Teachers are very much at home in complex situations which require the juggling of much data with little pre-planning. An experienced Teacher group leader can dream up, effortlessly, and almost endlessly, activities for groups to engage in, and stimulating roles for members of the group to play. In some Teachers, inspired by the responsiveness of their students or followers, this can amount to genius which other types find hard to emulate. Such ability to preside without planning reminds us somewhat of an Provider, but the latter acts more as a master of ceremonies than as a leader of groups. Providers are natural hosts and hostesses, making sure that each guest is well looked after at social gatherings, or that the right things are expressed on traditional occasions, such as weddings, funerals, graduations, and the like. In much the same way, Teachers value harmonious human relations about all else, can handle people with charm and concern, and are usually popular wherever they are. But Teachers are not so much social as educational leaders, interested primarily in the personal growth and development of others, and less in attending to their social needs.

Considering i give free tuition in Computer Science for the local kids...

BTW, The Jung test has some loopholes. Take it 10 times and emulate people around you and these will start to become obvious. It's one of the older psych profiling tests and the flaws are fairly well known. True sociopaths mess the test up about 85% of the time.

Wow, four INTJ's already? And we're supposed to be rare. Maybe there's something about us that makes us want to mod? It says INTJ's are always looking to improve things, so it makes sense that there are so many of us this far into the thread.
