MBTI Personality Type 2020 * 1
    #26810194 - 07/08/20 02:25 AM (3 years, 6 months ago)

Which one are you?

Do you think these types of tests are accurate?

I know this has been posted on this site a few times, but it is still interesting, imo.

I'm an INFP-T according to various "tests". In my opinion they get certain things quite right.

I still believe we're all unique in our own way though, so perhaps it's to be seen as just a vague guideline in some way.

If you haven't done it yet, I like the layout and look of this website:

At every possible test I used to score INFJ but here I score INFP-T

How the hell did I become a Turbulent INFP?!

Either the test sucks or personality change does exist.

I used to be a rock solid INFJ.

Whether I was sober or high I scored INFJ

I read the INFJ one, and thought it could be a possible estimation of your personality...

Perhaps you're just in an INFP mood today. :cool:

I sometimes get other results, but INFP has always been the main one for me.

Could be the test too...

How close are you to the middle on P/J?
I've done such tests from time to time and noted similar 'inconsistencies' that are too often explained by a minor variation in one or two answers, caused by different interpretations of the question, different frame of reference / examples I have in mind, and, importantly, my overall mood and current outlook. For some dimensions, these kinds of methodological limitations can quite easily tilt the balance.

For me, it came out as INFJ-T (I'm not surprised we are similar in this respect, Asante).
It always weirds me out a bit that as someone primarily working in academia and with a pretty academic work profile, I very clearly score F instead of T. A piss-poor scientist for sure :lol: Other very clear distinctions are high scores on I and turbulence. N/S and J/P are pretty close for me and I recall having had other outcomes due to this in the past. Particularly I recall having seen INFP come out of this test a couple of years ago. Nonetheless, I feel the INFJ description is pretty damn accurate, so it has some face validity as an outcome for me.

Remake I don't think it is possible to answer like you would have answered pre-covid. For one you would be lying and secondly unconscious bias prevents one from see themselves objectively as they were in the past.

Btw my score is ESFJ-A

Totally possible, I respect your discernment.

Personally, though, I've gotten the same results prior covid.

Social isolation has not effected me really...

From another website...

None the less, it could also be interesting to see how covid has changed our personalities, for time-being, if it has.

These results are likely to be influenced by our current external environment then.

Perhaps a covid-19 personality test will be developed if this dark cloud doesn't pass soon...

65% prospecing.

I seem to have gotten a lot less Judging.

There was a trend in that in earlier tests, that I progressively became less Judging, but never has it gotten me to the other side.

I have gotten less uncomforatable about being in crowded surroundings, I favor them in my local pool, I guess that skewed my numbers a bit.

Also, I have bencome more flexible and less dependent on fixed circumstances.

My self esteem has grown and I am less out of my element when things break the mould.

I used to be the ultimate INFJ but INFP might have more practical utility.

I'm rather a Mediator than an Advocate, and its more practical as a Shroomery admin too.

I have to say esfj is not wrong, the fact that I joined this thread, completed the test, provided my judgement in a positive way with the intention of helping others all confirms the ESFJ rating.

    #26810415 - 07/08/20 06:18 AM (3 years, 6 months ago)

Two major things I pinpoint the changes in my personality to is:

1)social positive reenforcement at my local pool. A vast group of people love me there, while being a quite fat guy who felt very lowly about himself. I seem to have a big charisma there on all levels (lifeguards, security, swimmers - all ages and ethnicities) that especially shows if I just be me regardless of any social criticism there may be, not "playing extravert" but just asserting my self in having fun like I choose. Responses are out of this world. Balm to my wounds and an example to others. (not to boast)

2)I'm no longer addicted to a recreational drug. Having come from under the yoke of drug addiction is effecting personality changes in me. I'm coming out of my cocoon and becoming a butterfly. It was a pretty cocoon (INFJ) but me, Judging is less pretty than me, Prospecting. I assert myself in the world more now that drugs dont throw over the files stack of my mind every 2 weeks. I'm also becoming less paranoid and anxious.

I wouldn't regard it as totally accurate or definite in any way, but it definitely delivers some interesting insight, for sure.

We are all part of the same world but have formed our identities with what we were given in our subjective field of view. So we are all unique and not totally able to be defined in all totality.

To me at least, it provides some frame of reference or probable explanation to actions that I don't fully understand within myself.

I find reading about a lot of the internal processes behind mbti stuff interesting. I think it's dangerous to pigeon hole yourself into the personality type, but when you look at the functions attributed to each individual type(how you interpret the world on the almost unconscious level, for instance) I think it actually can provide some pretty decent insight. It's been a while since I've taken a test. Sometimes I wonder if I'm not actually an INTJ because I feel very cold and logical at times and can shut off my feelings if I need to, but really, probably not...I'm a big feely gooey mess inside this beeyotch.






I've scored as infp, and intj as well before. I seem to run into a lot of folks who score as infp and we're very similar in certain ways, but our demeanor is entirely different to a somewhat striking degree.



I would agree with the results. I have hella ADHD so I am a clash of a need to organize and plan everything and impulse/attention problems. I don't fully know what Turbulent means but it sounds right and I always seem to score as turbulent.

INTP-A Logician

Pretty spot on

"The Logician personality type is fairly rare, making up only three percent of the population, which is definitely a good thing for them, as there’s nothing they’d be more unhappy about than being “common”. Logicians pride themselves on their inventiveness and creativity, their unique perspective and vigorous intellect. Usually known as the philosopher, the architect, or the dreamy professor, Logicians have been responsible for many scientific discoveries throughout history"

People with this personality type are generous in their affection, with a clear preference for putting the pleasure of their partners first – it is in knowing that their partners are satisfied that Mediators truly feel the most pleasure.

I just took the test again, its been years since the last time. Originally I got ENTP, now this time around I got ENFJ-A/ENFJ-T

The Protagonist:
"Everything you do right now ripples outward and affects everyone. Your posture can shine your heart or transmit anxiety. Your breath can radiate love or muddy the room in depression. Your glance can awaken joy. Your words can inspire freedom. Your every act can open hearts and minds."

Sounds about right :uhoh:

ENFJ

Quote:

A Protagonist (ENFJ) is a person with the Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging personality traits. These warm, forthright types love helping others, and they tend to have strong ideas and values. They back their perspective with the creative energy to achieve their go




Quote:

Protagonists are natural-born leaders, full of passion and charisma. Forming around two percent of the population, they are oftentimes our politicians, our coaches and our teachers, reaching out and inspiring others to achieve and to do good in the world. With a natural confidence that begets influence, Protagonists take a great deal of pride and joy in guiding others to work together to improve themselves and their community.

You know, just for fun I searched which personality type would be least willing to take the test...

Apparently INTJ and ISTJ on a random page I stumbled upon...

Since patlal took it, let's assume you're an ISTJ..."Logistician"

Quote:

Their defining characteristics of integrity, practical logic and tireless dedication to duty make Logisticians a vital core to many families, as well as organizations that uphold traditions, rules and standards, such as law offices, regulatory bodies and military. People with the Logistician personality type enjoy taking responsibility for their actions, and take pride in the work they do – when working towards a goal, Logisticians hold back none of their time and energy completing each relevant task with accuracy and patience.




Quote:

Logisticians don’t make many assumptions, preferring instead to analyze their surroundings, check their facts and arrive at practical courses of action. Logistician personalities are no-nonsense, and when they’ve made a decision, they will relay the facts necessary to achieve their goal, expecting others to grasp the situation immediately and take action. Logisticians have little tolerance for indecisiveness, but lose patience even more quickly if their chosen course is challenged with impractical theories, especially if they ignore key details – if challenges becomes time-consuming debates, Logisticians can become noticeably angry as deadlines tick nearer.

that’s a good one morrowasted ENFJ

I got INFP-T but was 50/50 on Extro/intro, thinking/feeling, judging/prospecting
And 80/20 on Intuitive(80)/observant and turbulent(80)/assertive

So basically I know what’s gonna happen and am never sure what to think or what to do about it

I'm typically INFP T but will occasionally get INTP.

I like to think it's because all the work I've done on myself. The mediator coincides with libra. I think it's weird both emphasize the optimism and listening. Bro I'm only optimistic and listen because I want people to shut the fuck up and be happy.


They often aren't so I've been developing that T because it's healthier. I'm also alot lower on the N and P than I used to be.


I'm 93% introverted. I'm not joking when I say I hate people yall :lol:

But there's alot that goes into a personality. These are only thought based traits of the personality. They are changeable.

Did the test again, INFP-T again.

Turns out I don't actually think, I feel :cookiemonster:

The other tests were Yes/No tests and didnt take assertiveness and turbulence into account, maybe its that.

Looks like INFP-T is here to stay!

When i used to bullshit the tests and answer them the way I perceived myself to be, I would get INTP. I was raised to value the NTP characteristics. But after working with a therapist 5 years back I realized that is not me. I am very much an FJ. I used to think i was introverted but I was actually just insecure and addicted to drugs. Once i got clean (from the unhealthy stuff) and became confident, that I changed into an E

Most people who are introverted had their personality kicked in by adverse experiences and drugs that harm self esteem.

How many introverts are really extraverts stomped into the pavement by life?

For fun, back when I scored INFJ, I did the test in the guise of one of my main roleplay personae. Lo! Behold! He was ENFJ. He didnt have 175lbs of excess lard holding him down though.

According to what I've read, introversion simply means you gain energy by spending time alone, whereas extroversion means you gain energy by spending time with others.

I'm sure it is possible to be confident and introverted.

Spending time alone, as a herd animal.

Many of us just have been in toxic herds and chose solitude over further toxicity.

We're a species of ape that is supposed to be active in the group at all times.

sure but in my case, the reason that spending time with others was draining to me was that I was constantly overthinking what people said, worried about how I was being perceived. Once I became confident that changed. I mean I still spend most of my free time alone or just with my girlfriend, but (prior to covid obviously) i found that after spending time at a party or something i would come home feeling very energized and happy, and to me that came from the sense that people wanted to talk to me, women wanted to flirt with me, etc. So i started walking away from big gatherings feeling pumped up rather than down in the dumps. Really all that changed was i got into good physical shape and i got headed down a career path i am proud of

Generally speaking i dont really buy into the tests
, i just think there is a general kind of social and emotional intelligence that makes some people more adaptable than others

We are active all the time. Like right now.

To me

Extroverts voice their insecurities, and project them onto others.

Introverts voice opinions and idealisations, and project them onto others.

It's all in relation. Even in what is perceived as 'isolation', we are still part of the "group" or "machine". Perhaps even fulfilling a role, so to speak, maybe even an important one.

I don't really like the words extroverted and introverted when it comes to one's personal social dynamics. Too simple, and most questionnaires which cement these theories as a tangible social dynamic sort of 'beg the question' from the beginning, in the sense that you have this spectrum you created and form fit questions to fit on these scales alone. Have taken the Myers Briggs test a few times with varying results.

I'm open to the idea that someone's personality changes with time, but not as open to the idea of such a simple test reliably determining such traits. Especially as the results themselves tend to imply a sort of identity that may guide the way a person answers such questionnaires long into the future despite changes in behavior. This personal identification with the results of the test makes such tests useless.

A similar test that gets too much attention are those political compass tests. People identify with the results, and if they don't like the results they change their answers until they find a spot they are happy or comfortable to identify with. It's honestly not much different than some of these personality tests.

I suspect for example that if you test a population of 18 year olds youll get a lot of Ps and if you test a population of 45 year olds you will get a lot of Js. But it is circumstantial. Older people value planning for the future more

agreed. And employers in the business world overuse tests like this to make decisions. It really just ends up being a test of who can figure out what the employer is looking for. Which means they end up hiring people who are simtultaneously smart enough to game the system and unprincipled enough to actually do it

I agree PatrickKn.

What the test is, imo, is simply an assessment according to a certain individual or group who is trying to objectively assess an ocean of 7 Billion+ individuals who all have their own subjective realities.

Introversion/Extroversion are useless terms in my opinion as well, and is simply a matter of circumstance. In some situations we will be "extroverts", in some situations we will be "introverts".

We all are undefinable in my opinion. 

However, I do believe we also have a certain mode of being we try to hold on to individually, shaped by our past and perhaps genetics.

Why we act the way we do, or say the things we do is probably more complicated than taking a test.

These tests can offer insights and I think that is the extent of their use. Like, people might tell you things about yourself and these tests could help confirm or deny them despite being more of a "how do I feel today" kind of test. Things like introvert/extrovert make more sense on a scale. I'd sooner identify as an introvert but on a scale I'd say I'm more like 60% introvert. 40% leaves a lot of room to be friendly.

Fully agree - especially about everything being a spectrum rather than a binary thing.

I really don't like the idea of forcing my personality into any kind of mold. I've done that before when I haven't really known myself that well or at least lost touch with myself, and I can see why people find it comforting. But I think it's misguided.


But as someone who feels like a walking contradiction a lot of the time, I would be lying if I didn't say the result doesn't hit home for me. I try to be really impartial when I take these sorts of tests though. I'm sure even while I make that effort, there's a lot of unconscious bias in my answers and therein lies the problem in any test like this.

Not surprised at all. I feel like I’m changing as a person but this type has been with me the entire time I’ve been taking these tests. Except for the random ENFJ results where I’m feeling pretty social in life. My thinking and observing percentages went down!! :sad: But I guess mother would be proud I’m finally boosting that intuition and feeling heh. Makes for reading cards better as well. :thumbup:

I think I’m always going to be in the middle with making decisions, planning and work. Sometimes it will take me absolutely forever bc I am weighing the pros and cons, the best route, risk evaluation, of most things in my life. Planning for the long term is very detailed for me, with specific time frames of completing tasks. Short term is spontaneous and chaotic. As long as I keep following my carrot I put up for myself in the end, I feel like I’m heading in the right direction. With work I am constantly analyzing time management with amount of work that I can do, being smarter not harder, but not taking shortcuts that’ll end up making me do a subpar job. It’s all very boring. :smile: But it makes me really good at board games.

I have taken the "Please understand me" book version back in the late 90's. Then again ten years later and scored the same. I'll take the one remake posted tonight and see how it goes. I was the same 10 years apart though. These tests are interesting, but I will not base my thoughts/life/decisions on some personality test. I can and do get very judgmental.

INTP, once I got an INT/FP result but I've taken the Meyers-Briggs test many times with only that one variation.  I am definitely the kind of person who feels completely exhausted after social interaction whether positive or negative or neutral. Just drains me. A day working my very social job kicks my ass harder than 12 hours of running chainsaws in 90-100+ F weather.  Now I'm feeling some effects from aging, both examples truly kick my ass

Yep I took the book test way back in the 90s too. And sporadically since. Still INFP

Only started scori differently in the last couple years and that coincides with alot of work to change my thoughts and how I look at the world. Think that's pretty cool.

Interesting. I have reliably gotten INTJ in the past (Architecht), but taking the test in your link I got INFP-T - Mediator.

I've always identified with the INTJ descriptions, but then again I think these things are like horoscopes and you hear what fits into your life. A few bits from Mediator that ring true to me:

  • Mediators are led by the purity of their intent, not rewards and punishments.
  • People with the Mediator personality type have no interest in having power over others, and don’t much care for domineering attitudes at all.
  • They prefer a more democratic approach, and work hard to ensure that every voice and perspective is heard.
  • Their shyness keeps them from the podium, but they are the first to lend a helping hand where it’s needed.
  • Friendships are earned on their own merit, by dint of the intuitive respect Mediators have for those with similar principles and values, rather than more practical alignments like those of coworkers.
  • value harmony, need an emotional and moral connection to their work, and loathe bureaucratic tedium

Although it also says I'm supposed to be an optimist which is definitely not true. I'm forever convinced the worst will happen and focusing on the dark side.

And also says I dislike dealing with data, preferring the big picture, which is also not true (literally applicable to my job, so I know)

Based on stories my parents have told me, I've been an introvert my whole life, so I don't think it was learned. Even though I'm an only child, I would sometimes just disappear from a room of other kids and could be found somewhere alone to get some space. The other kids were too loud or there was one pushy kid and I didn't want to deal so I just peaced out, etc. Although I'm sure other life experiences have added to my introversion along the way, if 3 years old me liked my alone time then I'm voting for nature at least as strong as nurture.

I have in the past scored as an INTJ (I'm actually trying to become an architect, lol) and even an ENFP. I wouldn't take these tests to be the end-all be-all of our personalities, but there is definitely something in there, imo. At least to ponder.

I'm a middle child.

I wonder if current stresses are not what is influencing your score.

I can identify quite a lot with the INFP traits...

I was always a goofball and would try to make people laugh.

Had a wild imagination as a kid, and to some extent, still do.

I would establish very close relationships with my friends. I had/have a lot.

I loved playing on my own though, and would always be busy with something creative, even at school I would doodle all the time in my books.

I will sometimes purposefully skip out on parties and such, especially now that I'm not in any sort of schooling system, because I frankly have a better time doing whatever I want, and how I want.

I found it difficult to truly express myself in large groups growing up as I would feel overwhelmed by all the perceptions coming at me and didn't like the 'hierarchy' that comes with such scenarios. I always was very empathetic towards the 'underdogs'.

Not to boast, or anything, but I was fairly popular in school, and university, too. Even though I tended to be quiet in public places, when it was just me and a few close friends, I would become very talkative and expressive.

In my opinion insecurity and confidence are two totally different things than introversion and extroversion. I think most people do not understand this.

I'm not very detail oriented, but can be a perfectionist when I'm truly motivated and inspired.

I was also always philosophical. But as it relates to authenticity, I like developing my own, unique philosophy and outlook on life.

I wouldn't be surprised if my score had actually changed a bit because I have changed. That said, this test is different questions than I remember so I think that's part of it.

According to the recent test, I've become more Feeling and Perceptive versus Thinking and Judging. I think I was always on the border of those (don't remember what my percentages were but they were somewhere around 60/40 I believe).

I'm pretty good at thinking things through logically and when I have a negative emotional response to something, I turn to logic to temper it. 2 years ago I would have said that this approach was my default and I tended to be more logical than emotional. But I had some relationship stuff go south in a way that I couldn't explain using logic and it definitely had an impact. Emotional/Feeling has been a bit in the lead in some areas lately, so I think my answers reflect that. Probably too soon to say if it's a permanent change.

P/J: In some ways I'll always be a "planner": my financial planning, for instance. I'm happier when I know I'm prepared for various eventualities, and prefer that feeling of preparedness over perhaps more fun but less practical things I could spend money on.

But in other things I like to imagine the possibilities and go with the flow. I went on my first solo vacation to another country and planned where I was staying and a few tours I had to book in advance, but for a few days I just did whatever I felt like. It was nice to not have every minute of every day planned out, like I remember my family vacations. And  exploring the unknown possibilities is part of why I'm here on this site in the first place.

While the MBIT can tell you what you think like at a snapshot in time, it can't tell you anything more complex about WHY you think that way. Certain traits may be part of your nature and unlikely for you to truly change. Others may be possible for you to change if you are working on yourself. These may differ from person to person.

Totally agree with this. I had a co worker who I would have definitely guessed to be an extrovert: he was always talking with people about all sorts of things, starting conversations proactively, one of those people whom a room tends to revolve around just based on their outward energy.

I was talking to him in a group setting over drinks after work and he said he was actually very introverted and had just learned to use all those "extrovert" like techniques. So self nurture, basically. And I think you need lots of self confidence to do that in the first place.

My own approach is now to ask myself if there is something I want to accomplish. Do I want more friends? Do I want to be perceived a certain way so that I can contribute ideas and they will be accepted more readily because people like and respect me more? If the answer is yes, then I'm ok with trying to change my default behaviors to meet those goals. Maybe to be more "extroverted" but definitely to still stay true to myself under it all.

In other words, it's a good thing to change yourself in the eyes of others if doing so gets you closer to the person you want to be based on your own terms. Only if you're trying to change yourself solely for others is that unhealthy.

We sound like similar people, remake. I wonder if this hobby lends itself to people with certain personality traits.

I tend to prefer hobbies that are somewhat creative but also have some technical aspects to them that I can work towards fully understanding and then mastering. I also like hobbies that have practical and usable applications; I need a product in addition to enjoying the process. I gravitate towards solitary hobbies I can do on my own, but it's best when I can share knowledge and learn from others.

Mycology has been the perfect new pursuit for me because it ticks all these boxes, which I can thanks the Shroomery community for.

I can understand and relate to what you've said as well.

I also believe we should only change ourselves if we want to, or if we feel personal growth and discovery is what we want to accomplish.

I like the introspection of my creative pursuits but also enjoy learning new things and teaching in some instances too.

I think certain personalities gravitate towards certain aspects of psychedelics for sure. For me I find the consciousness expanding qualities of it very interesting. I like exploring and testing out new ideas. I really like the effect it has on a person's creativity.

The fact that we are communicating on a forum, which most people would find "weird" or "out-dated", also speaks, imo, to the fact that most of us here are pretty open-minded, and unique individuals.
