What's your Jung - Myers-Briggs personality type?

Back in early college I got turned on to the concept of Jung - Myers-Briggs personality typing. According to the approach, all people can be roughly categorized by their personality types, based on four criteria, each of which can go one of two ways:
* Extraversion - Introversion * Sensing - Intuition * Thinking - Feeling * Judging - Perceiving
Depending on how you answer a series of YES\NO questions, these typologies become apparent. More than just one way or another, each characteristic has a strength attributed to it.
I've taken the test several times over a long period of time and always came up with the same type, though the strengths differed a little. Last night, after a long, late-night, top-of-the-parking-structure conversation with my girlfriend, I decided that we should both take the test and see what the results were (which is a great bonding opportunity for you new couples). To my surprise, my type has changed. Reading the description, I felt that it was totally appropriate. This time, I tested out to be an INFJ, the 'counselor idealist'.
I think that, whether you believe the psychology or not, this test is a great little way to explore parts of yourself and thought that this community would most certainly appreciate that.
So, what's your personality type? After you take the test, there are two links to two different descriptions of what your type means. Share your reactions to the descriptions and interpretations!
The Test
Quick Edit: I'm also curious to see what the spread for the community is. Are certain people drawn to drugs? Do drugs create\shift personalities towards certain types?
-------------------- Q: We wanted to see if you had the ability to expand your mind and your horizons... and for one brief moment, you did. PICARD: When I realized the paradox... Q: Exactly. For that one fraction of a second, you were open to options you'd never considered. That's the exploration that awaits you...not mapping stars and studying nebulae... but charting the unknowable possibilities of existence. To carry yourself forward and experience myriad things is delusion. That myriad things come forth and experience themselves is awakening. -Dogen Zenji

You're correct, on both fronts. Definitely not just some POS internet quiz written by a 16 year old. Not that i doubt the capacity of some very special 16 year olds to develop and comprehend such things.

Thanks for an actually cool little test 
I'll have to read up on the differences between Thinking vs. Feeling, because I had a hard time answering a few of the questions... I'm very analytical, and don't really let emotion get in the way of that, but sympathetic(empathy?) i can see very strongly within myself as well...

I researched MBTI in depth for about a year or so while studying psychology in college, and find it incredibly fascinating. I myself am an INFP (Healer/idealist) and have come across statistics stating that we are one of the rarest of all brain types (somewhere around 1%-4% of the world's population), yet 24% of the people who have responded to this poll are INFP. Is this because the INFP is naturally intested in these issues (psychedelics, mind exploration)?

So, I took the time to read both Healer Idealist descriptions...
I must say that if I allow a little bit of room for personal interpretation, the description is almost 100% accurate...
I was actually just going through the description and going to point out the parts that didn't really fit, but as I was going through the points I disagreed with, I thought of plenty of instances with which I could relate, obviously not word for word, but with a slightly different interpretation than what first came to mind.
I'm going to read through a few of the other descriptions and get a sense for how this differs from the other classes...

Yeah, that's what i was wondering. There's not nearly enough responses to be able to tell as of yet. If a couple hundred people took it, maybe we could make that assertion. I also noticed that, thus far, the vast majority of responses are introverted. Still too soon to make any conjectures though. I rehosted this image from wikipeida:

Which is supposedly a US population breakdown. When it was projected, I dont know. People being products of their environments (if that's the philosophy you ascribe to), as times change so too ought the breakdown.

the problems with these "personality tye" tests is that its degrading the individuality of each personality to fit them inside of a sub-class of human beings. Alot of those questions, I would answer "sometimes" or "depends on the circumstances", and it is hard to think back to whether or not I should answer yes to them. Also people have different perceptions of themselves and are prone to answering questions as what they "wish" to be, as opposed to what other people might answer in their place.
I think its a shame that science tries to pigeonhole people, to explain away the vastness of each individual experiential reality with "introverted/extroverted" etc.
Also, I think its rediculous that someone actually thinks that a test can tell them something about themselves that they wouldn't have been able to understand more completley on their own, if they had the inclination to think about it.
but yeah, its always fun to hear what some qwack with a doctorate writes to validate his funding.

I don't think the purpose of the test is necessarily to pigeonhole people at all. I'm not clear on how observing a system and discovering latent commonality or identifiable patterning in it devalues the system itself. There's plenty of room for tendency. If I describe someone i know to you as a talker, am I degrading their individuality?
When I take the test, I don't think the questions over. I go with my immediate gut instinct response, the very first scenario I envision. I finished the test in under 2 minutes. While certain questions most definitely could be examined in depth and questioned depending on circumstances, I'd call your attention to the similarity of some of the questions. I think that they're written specifically in this way to remove some of this ambiguity by approaching a few points from several different angles. One could execute the test with a third as many questions, but having the similar yet different statements helps to clarify things.
As for the process of self discovery and the possibility of people answering questions through rose glasses, how they perceive themselves as opposed to how they actually are, I would venture that, ideally, the...aware individual would have little to no differentiation between the two. That's part of the purpose of the test, at least to me. That's also why I recommend it to couples. Reviewing the responses and then the descriptions with an external opinion can be quite a learning experience. I am constantly trying to actualize my internal vision of myself externally. It's my life's mission.
Part of the purpose of my posting the quiz was as an aide in self discovery. I don't think too many respondents are surprised by their answers; they find them familiar. They know these things. The descriptions are vague enough to allow for personal consideration. The test is a springboard to thinking about oneself, be it in agreement or disagreement with the results. I'm glad you enjoyed it

INTJ (check my MBPT poll in the polling forum )
Just got back from the library, doing some research on energy and electricity generation for my future career endeavors. Is that INTJ enough for you??
This test is very valuable in regards to knowing yourself and knowing others and how they respond in certain situations.

I certainly think psychedelic drugs alter your personality. I'd say towards the IN** end of the spectrum. There are a lot more INTP/J's that have voted in the poll than the general population figures would suggest., though maybe INT*'s like being shroomerites :-p. It'll be interesting to see what happens with more results.
edit: I am an INTP.

Good test, I've read some of Jung stuff, and I think it's really interesting. It's always fun to see how these little personality tests turn out, although usually they never tell me anything that I didn't already know. I turned out to be an INTP.

dude, these tests are the biggest bullshit
choose between binary opposites to categorize yourself!
define an entire aspect of your personality by a slim majority of responses in a certain category!
adopt a generalized label that only applies some of the time!
do you judge or percieve? It can only be one, because no one judges on some occaisons and percieves on others!
No, everyone does the exact same thing in all situations, thus these labels are entirely applicable, especially when motivating confused hippies in community colleges to put down their bong and get a job!
seriously, what crap. I sincerely hope no one here uses such idiotic means to figure out who they are and base major life decisions on this shit. You may as well be using astrology. actually, I think astrology is MORE accurate than this binary, rigidly defining crap.
Seriously, a human being is analog and this test tries to make them binary, as in "You are either introverted or extroverted, not some compromise between the two, not introverted at school but extroverted at work, no you are either introverted or extroverted in ALL SITUATIONS. Even if you only made the 'introverted' bracket by one question, that is what you are. It doesn't matter how many 'extroverted' answers you gave, if it wasn't enough then those can be entirely disregarded."
Seriously, this is the kind of shit that high school guidance counselors use to motivate fuckups to go to technical institutes and shit.
I've taken these tests about 18 million times and every time it tells me I'm something different. You know why? because my answers to the questions depend on what mood I'm in when I take the test!

The test HARDLY claims individuals are one way or another. Did you even read my introductory post? When considering these attributes, I think it is perfectly reasonable to use a binary opposite system. Especially since each type is given a relative strength. Unless you're suggesting that the defining of behaviors as introverted or extroverted is unfair, what are some other choices that ought to be included? If I set up a slider scale, with 100% introversion on one side and 100% extroversion on the other (something no person is likely to be) but allow complete degrees of expressiveness along this continuum, I think you cover a very broad range of obseverable behavioral characteristics. Read the post I made in response to Vivid's post. Your protests are completely unfounded with regards to the methods, funtion, and purpose of the test. No one's doing phrenology here. So what's your type?
-------------------- Q: We wanted to see if you had the ability to expand your mind and your horizons... and for one brief moment, you did. PICARD: When I realized the paradox... Q: Exactly. For that one fraction of a second, you were open to options you'd never considered. That's the exploration that awaits you...not mapping stars and studying nebulae... but charting the unknowable possibilities of existence. To carry yourself forward and experience myriad things is delusion. That myriad things come forth and experience themselves is awakening. -Dogen Zenji

all I'm saying is, whenever i take one of these, my answer to every question is not 'yes' or 'no', it is 'sometimes' or 'depends'. Nobody's personality is this cut and dried.
dude, I have a degree in psych and I'm telling you that these tests are only taken seriously by high school guidance counselors. No one above that stature gives these tests any recognition as valid whatsoever.
and i already said, my type varies on the mood I'm in when i take the test. Seriously, everyone here take the test again in a year and see if you get the same results. I garuntee most of you won't. Which means the test is bunk, like i said no repeatability = no science.

Quote:
Healers have a profound sense of idealism derived from a strong personal morality, and they conceive of the world as an ethical, honorable place. Indeed, to understand Healers, we must understand their idealism as almost boundless and selfless, inspiring them to make extraordinary sacrifices for someone or something they believe in. The Healer is the Prince or Princess of fairytale, the King's Champion or Defender of the Faith, like Sir Galahad or Joan of Arc. Healers are found in only 1 percent of the general population, although, at times, their idealism leaves them feeling even more isolated from the rest of humanity.

I got INFP as well. However, like all tests like there, I find it really hard to answer YES or NO to questions. There were many questions I had no strong feeling toward yes or no. I agreed with some of the parts of the description but there were parts that were very unlike me. It seems strange to have a machine sort out answers and assess your personality.

My type is INTJ. I have actually known about this before reading this post and studied it quite comprehensively. I also presume that Terence Mckenna was an INTP. Does anyone agree?

ENTJ Field-Marshal Rational
It applies.
One thing I think that really made me pause was:
" You are strongly touched by the stories about people's troubles "
I have absolutely no empathy or compassion for people that I do not love. I can understand why they do things they do, sometimes very insightfully.
Even people I love, I am not TOUCHED by them, I do my best to help them with whatever I can, because I protect and serve those I love.
The fact that there's people I love is the only thing that lets me seem human.

INTP!!
Strong on the IN, weaker on the TP.
I found some of the questions extremely difficult to answer. Like the question "You think almost anything can be analyzed". I wanted to say 'sure anything can be analyzed, but sometimes it isn't very useful'.
I also realize this thread is 2 years old but I couldn't find the more recent one on personality type.

ESFP
"Like the other Artisans, Performers are incurably optimistic - "Always look on the bright side," is their motto -- and they will avoid worries and troubles by ignoring them as long as possible. They are also the most generous of all the types, and second only to the Composer Artisans [ISFPs] in kindness"
I used to be optomistic. I see the world as a cruel, dirty, shitty place. I have been forced to conform to society and all it's bullshit so I can get that steady paycheck to pay for my kids and fiance. I feel like I gave in, because money IS important. Fuck the world. Fuck the politicians, fuck the government, fuck them taking taxes from me and living in their mult-million dollar homes while I fucking scrape by working my ass off.
Fuck it all! I look forward to all bible thumping prophecies and other semi-related conspiracy theories. Besides my kids and fiance, I hope you and I all go up in flames
Life is a fucking grind, the only escape being our seflish indulgences.
I haven't been able to sleep at night properly for 8 years, unless I'm piss drunk wasted(which is also why I have probably drank copius amounts of alcohol in my adult life) because I'm constantly fending off millions of thoughts racing in my mind. I'm thinking about past events, current events and future events, while thinking about what I should of done, could of done and did do. Between just daily interactions with every human being and my financial situation, I'm constantly feeling stressed and anxious. Lack of sleep and that constant hammering on my mind makes me moody.
I will admit, there are things I love about life. But those are simply my selfish indulgenes mentioned above. I love my kids. That's a biological impulse engrained in my dna. Protect the offspring. I love my fiance too. My guitar, my music, having laughs with people, a good movie, camping/fishing...all good stuff. All of it formentioned selfish indulgences to try and distract me or help me cope with the actual state of the world and me. When you pull it all back and take away all the self indulgences and distractions, it looks fucking grim and depressing to me.
Hardly optomistic anymore.
Is that a ESFP? FAIL! 
edit: I should note that I woke up early on saturday with the baby to let the fiance sleep. I feel grumpy, exhausted and tired. I'm unusually pessimistic this morning I will re-read and possibly reevaluate how I truly feel after some coffee and a shower

ISFP - Composer Artisan
More than the other Artisans, Composers are in tune with their senses, and so have a sure grasp of what belongs, and what doesn't belong, in all kinds of works of art. While the other Artisans are skilled with people, tools, and entertainment, Composers have an exceptional ability-seemingly inborn-to work with subtle differences in color, tone, texture, aroma, and flavor
Funny, I don't see myself as artistic at all. But the part about subtle differences in color, etc, is true.

Yeah, I never feel like any of these kinds of tests accurately describe me. And I've taken this test before and I think I was INTJ then, but that was years ago.
They're entertaining to take though. There used to be a website called Tickle that had all kinds of cool tests but it just disappeared one day. Now I can't find anything else like it except for these stupid quiz sites that are submitted by tweens.

INFP, interesting that so many are of this type. After I read the wikipedia article on MBPT a while ago iv been able to identify several of my friends as ISTP or INFJ(almost an oversimplification but still fitting) but none as INFP. I feel very alone in everyday life without another like me. I have many things in common with the friends I have but the interests are limited such as video games and drugs, books and movies, but everybody just seems to tune out once any of my ideological side surfaces. I can find nobody with all those aspects that make up me, at the same time i feel that im getting so much knowledge that would be difficult to find in others like me. Those who inhabit this site are honestly closer to me than my real life friends who im thrown in with.

Im an INXP meaning everytime I take it i switch between F and T. Its about 50-50 in that category and dependent on my mood. The I, the N and the P are pretty solid though.
