Title: What is your personality type?
Post by: tomatosauce on November 16, 2018, 09:13:59 pm
Someone described this Personality Test as 'freakishly accurate'. I totally agree - I've always found it to be amazingly correct to the point of being almost scary... I feel like someone has been watching in my window! I would love you to check it out, take the quiz, share your personality type and tell us what it taught you about yourself! I took it again tonight and found I am a 'Executive' Personality... I knew I'd changed over the last few years, and as I redid the quiz I realised how different the answers are now to when I first did it in 2016... I'm very different to what I used to be - the 'Campaigner'!

Love it TS!
I'm a hyrbid of 'entertainer' and 'defender' in which im outgoing and spontaneous, living in the moment while also being deep and wisdomatic and defending the people i care about

Fairly sure there have been a few of these personality-type threads posted already, just fyi.. worth a quick search before posting new threads to avoid repetition :)

Anyway, in the interest of keeping things on topic, here's mine:

I swear we have this thread on here every so often hahaha

I got INFP-T
I've done this a couple of times before and I've always gotten INFJ-T, I'm not surprised by the change though. Definitely a result of being more open about my emotions imo. I've done it a couple of times so I sort of remember what answers I've picked before, so I know what I picked differently. It's a pretty close thing though, P and J have always been pretty close to 50/50 for me.

Quote
Open-Minded and Flexible – A live-and-let-live attitude comes naturally to Mediators, and they dislike being constrained by rules. Mediators give the benefit of the doubt too, and so long as their principles and ideas are not being challenged, they’ll support others’ right to do what they think is right.
...
Too Idealistic – Mediators often take their idealism too far, setting themselves up for disappointment as, again and again, evil things happen in the world. This is true on a personal level too, as Mediators may not just idealize their partners, but idolize them, forgetting that no one is perfect.
Too Altruistic – Mediators sometimes see themselves as selfish, but only because they want to give so much more than they are able to. This becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, as they try to push themselves to commit to a chosen cause or person, forgetting to take care of the needs of others in their lives, and especially themselves.
Ooft, it me.
Quote
Difficult to Get to Know – Mediators are private, reserved and self-conscious. This makes them notoriously difficult to really get to know, and their need for these qualities contributes to the guilt they often feel for not giving more of themselves to those they care about.
Lol

Echoing the above sentiments, I think I've seen something similar to this when I first signed up to AN...

But anyway, I got ESTP-A (Entrepreneur), even though I've done this test multiple times before and generally get ESFP-A. Guess I'm becoming more and more emotionless every day.

actual results
90% extroverted
54% observant
56% thinking
89% prospecting
74% assertive
Quote
Entrepreneurs are the likeliest personality type to make a lifestyle of risky behavior.
Risk-prone – This impatience can lead Entrepreneurs to push into uncharted territory without thinking of the long-term consequences.
There goes me putting 'highly responsible' on my resume.

Funny story - in year 10 I was obsessed with MBTI and chose Psychology for VCE as this technically goes under 'psychology'. Dropped out 2 weeks later after realising that psychology is more than just doing personality tests lol ;D

Mediators UNITE

I got INFP-T as well.

Quote
Unlike their Extraverted cousins though, Mediators will focus their attention on just a few people, a single worthy cause – spread too thinly, they’ll run out of energy, and even become dejected and overwhelmed by all the bad in the world that they can’t fix. This is a sad sight for Mediators’ friends, who will come to depend on their rosy outlook.
I feel like that first paragraph is a perfect summary of my life.
I keep getting overwelmed by stuff I want to fix but can’t and then my outlook goes temporarily downhill which I can see effects the people I’m close to.

I agree with everything it said about me overall besides the artsy side. The emotional side was a spot on description of me.

I always try and see people in a positive light.

I get overwelmed seeing too many issues in the world.

I get annoyed when people don’t take my advice.

I do sometimes use metaphors or at least find different ways to explain things.

I am always trying to understand why people are the way they are, no one is inherently angry, no one is inherently rude something has happened to them causing them to be like that.

When I did the test ages ago I got INFJ-T, Advocate, but now I'm a ENFP-T, Campaigner.

I am always on the border of extrovert and introvert. I have decided that I'm a 'shy extrovert' because I'm quite quiet, a bit socially awkward, and am not normally one to start conversations, however, I enjoy social interactions and being around a lot of people, I would always choose to go to a party or out with my friends rather that staying home.
On the other hand, my friend is loud, charismatic and a people magnet, but doesn't really like social things like parties or formal and would rather stay at home.

I always keep on getting different (although somewhat similar ones)........and just double checked with the older thread and these were the three.

LOGISTICIAN (ISTJ)
DEFENDER (ISFJ)
VIRTUOSO (ISTP)

Anyone else get anything similar!

I got ENFJ-T. I score as an ENFJ pretty consistently,  so that wasn't a surprise, but I scored in the 70s for extraversion whereas I'm usually in the low 50s

I got the same personality type as you  ;D A lot of the descriptions really resonated with me which surprised me because other personality tests I've taken have been quite broad in their responses. I liked how they explained my constant wanting to help others (this was the creepiest one because in deciding my career paths, I literally told my careers advisor that I wanted to find a job that will let me "help others"  :o) because that's something I've been trying to figure out for a while. Really interesting and surprisingly accurate results!  8)

Logician - INTP-T

I've got various different ones in the past, but this is probably the one I've got the most often. Did the test again today, and got it again with the following results:
Introverted – 86%, Intuitive – 53%, Thinking – 65%, Prospecting – 56%, Turbulent – 89%

When I read this, I feel like it is me, to some extent, but I've never found one that is really me, properly. I guess everyone is a mix of different elements.

Website must be broken. I went through all the questions, but it just gave me "ERROR: NO PERSONALITY DETECTABLE".  :-\
Just joking though, it actually told me I was an Advocate personality. I can't say I feel that it is quite what I would have expected though.
I was mainly surprised by the predicted dominance of 'feeling' over 'thought - I would have thought my 'thinking' was greater than I felt my 'feeling' was, but oh well. maybe the website knows me better than me.
here be the full results:

I was interested to read an article on the history of the test the other day:
Quote
It's a test used widely around the world by large corporations, universities, churches and even the US military, but it has very little science behind it. (source)

I think I get the same every time I've taken it, though specific percentages are obviously different, and I know I could influence them further by changing the way I answer questions (Why yes, I do always get Logician. How could you tell? :P ).

Like any personality test, I view it as interesting and useful rather than being prescriptive.
If it does anything to help people understand who they are and how they work, it's probably good.  If it changes people because it tells them they are something they're not and they believe it, it's probably not good.  It seems very unlikely that everyone in the world falls consistently into one of sixteen pre-defined categories.

I've took the test several times during the past years of my high school life and alternated between INFJ-T (The Advocate) and ISFJ-T (The Defender). When I take the test on other sites, though, I turn out to be ISFJ-T almost 100% of the time.

To be honest, I do identify as ISFJ-T more than INFJ-T, and people around me sometimes say I care too much for my own good :/
But career-wise, I prefer what INFJ-T recommends for me.

Just did mine again out of pure curiosity and got the exact same type but the percentages vary a little bit since I last did it.

Original one completed in November

Lol I think I did the test but didn't end up posting haha. Thanks anyway! :)

From memory I think I was advocate the last time I did it. This time I was the protagonist?? So apparently I have become an extrovert in the last 12 months (seems unlikely knowing myself). I think I may retake the test and try to think through the questions properly rather than rushing it aha.  ;D

just took the test then, I feel like the page was written for me 😂. I got an Advocate, although it said I am very introverted, yet all the examples given to me of people who are advocates, I guarantee are very extroverted. 😂

Hi there,
Just a reminder that this thread is for discussion on personality types, not gap year advice. If you wish to ask for said advice, please post on the appropriate fora.

Also remember that we value quality posts over quantity here. Double-posting is not encouraged and is, in fact, against forum etiquette/rules. If you are not already familiar with the rules you have been breaching (a lot), please read about them here.

I'm a CAMPAIGNER!!

And always been for ~5 years, since I first did the test. And I can say, a lot of it true! Except I think I'm not as much of an extrovert as it describes me as. Other than that, the first quote, damn. So true. It's so me!
