I wouldn't have even thought to analyze the TMNT... but for they actually seem to fit. That means either a) dem writers have some mighty fine human psychological observation skillz or b) someone has consulted personality profiles. I'd go with option A, but it's still kind of ...weird. Not that there's anything about TMNT that's not weird.

I don't see how it's ridiculing the test. *looks both ways* It's closer to ridiculing tmnt & co., if anyone. If TMNT don't fit the profile, it's not ever going to be because there's something wrong with the test.

Zactly.

You only get 90%? I got straight A's in college. Not counting all those B's and C's. And that D, but basic biology was such a stupid class anyway. Who cares that bees do a jig and stare at the sun to find their way home? Or whatever it was.... But hey in Canada you have to be some kind of supergenius to get 90%, I'm told. An A starts at like 60%. So don't worry.

Here are my results


Introverted (I) 87.5% Extroverted (E) 12.5%
Sensing (S) 50% Intuitive (N) 50%
Thinking (T) 62.5% Feeling (F) 37.5%
Judging (J) 87.5% Perceiving (P) 12.5%

INTJ - "Mastermind". Introverted intellectual with a preference for finding certainty. A builder of systems and the applier of theoretical models. 2.1% of total population.

[Masked Ninja]

Yeah... it's more insulting to the TMNT because we're trying to cram them into a real-world type of category. Or maybe just to ourselves, for even bothering to think about it. I don't care; 'tis fun. It exercises my braaaaains...

Yes... only 90% sometimes. It hurts my head so. I'm so stoopid

[zkarlette]

I think its just fun that doesn't mean you are stupid or anything...

I guess being the one with the lowest thinking score so far would probably be worrying me.....

but I shall not worry

Oh, I was talking about grades. In a halfway sarcastic, should-be-kicked-in-the-face-for-complaining kind of way.

hmmmm....this was kind of interesting

I got:

Your type is: ENFP

ENFP - "Journalist". Uncanny sense of the motivations of others. Life is an exciting drama. 8.1% of total population.

Words, ideas and possibilities spew effortlessly from them. Words are their best friends. They dance around ideas, the more, the merrier. Imaginative, spontaneous, original and enthusiastic, they have a knack for seeing other possibilities, other dreams and options. The world is never as it is but as it could be, as if it were but an artists sketch begging for colour. They initiate change and often are prone to trespassing a few known boundaries to take themselves and others where no one has been before. The status quo tends to lack inspiration.

When inspired, they are fearless and tireless. Their energy will know no limits unless red tape takes over. Routine drags them down. Their faith in possibilities and belief in the benefit of change often inspire others to follow. They are challenging, ingenious and innovative. They will give their best to what appears to be an impossible challenge, a place unknown to man or beast.

They use metaphors, stories, images and analogies to make their point.They love theories and often shape their own. They see patterns emerging. Keen improvisers, they are rarely caught off guard, there is always something up their sleeve. The sky is the only limit.
They are sometimes entertainers, artists or otherwise engaged in public demonstrations that allow their ideas to bloom. Their greatest difficulty is not in initiating projects but in choosing among so many possibilities, setting realistic boundaries, establishing priorities and correctly assessing resources.

They think I should be a writer? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Cascadia]

Ok...INTJ. There is no denying about it.

Here are the possible careers for me...

Possible Career Paths for the INTJ:

Scientists
Engineers
Professors and Teachers


I am studying to become a science teacher.

According to the profile, they think that I am a perfectionist....I can be but the majority of the time, I am not.

Imagine that.

They think you can make connections between events and information quickly and are enthusiastic and imaginative. (Funny, didn't that NY Times writer get in trouble for that? :p)

I am not really a perfectionist either, except when it comes to certain technical things like words. I want to be clear and concise, and at times fail miserably (in my own eyes). Notice how many of my posts are edited...

Also when I set up a system I want to design every component ahead of time and make sure it all fits together, with no unintentional redundancies.

[Cascadia]

One of my friends is a true INTJ.....she has very few friends. She is a perfectionist. We always joke about they are on the opposites of the same coin.

[kyabetsu]

ESTJ - "Administrator". Much in touch with the external environment. Very responsible. Pillar of strength. 8.7% of total population.

i manage a business. ...it's a comic book store, but we still have to pay bills and get everything ordered TO everyone on time.

since i'm one of those people who loves stationary, organizers, and calendars and planners... i guess this fits. Mind you, they don't factor in when i flake out and drop the ball and come back to a mess that i gleefully clean up... dunno what THAT says about me.

Has this thread passed the statute of limitations yet? I'm bumping it up for someone. Lock if you must.

It's fine

Similarminds says:
Extroverted (E) 66.67% Introverted (I) 33.33%
Sensing (S) 58.33% Intuitive (N) 41.67%
Thinking (T) 75% Feeling (F) 25%
Judging (J) 54.17% Perceiving (P) 45.83%

I have to say: wtf? Admin? How the heck did they come to that? So, I checked personalitypathways. Their test was easier to give absolute answers for, what with all of their explanations. That told me INTJ, but their explanations lost me in all of their flowery words. So, I went by typelogic. Now, I get it!

For a second opinion, I went to humanmetrics. Fortunately, it told me that similarminds was a load. I am INTJ, and quite comfortable with that. However, my preference strength is low. I guess that means I'm wishy-washy?

This is a good example of why I distrust personality tests that only have a handful of questions. But, something about being categorized as a Rational Mastermind seems just plain weird. Is anyone else thinking Lex Luthor?

ENFP

Personally, I think that it's an insult to humanity to say that there's only 16 different personality types out there. People who base real decisions on this theoretical objectifying of the human persona is not only rediculous on paper, but possibly seriously detrimental to course of a person's life.

I wouldn't suggest taking one of these tests unless you were being force-fed the psuedo-intellectual diahhrea via College Success Strategies course instructors.

The questions on these tests are always the same cookie-cutter black&white questions that you already know the answer to, "Do you like being with friends, or do you like spending time alone?" Hmmm...

I have an idea for a test. It blows all of the other ones out of the water, It's four questions long, and has no "percentage grey-area". I'm going to distribute the test, and make millions. Here's the quiz for all, and it's absolutely free for a limited time! (And yes, the company that makes the test will charge you for the real test!)

1. Are you an Introvert (I) or an Extrovert? (E)
2. Do you make decisions based on Intuition (N) or Sensation (S)?
3. Do you solve problems through Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)?
4. When you make decisions, do you make them based on your Perceptions (P) or your Judgement (J)?

There you go, four simple questions that can rui--- I mean, run your life, all it takes is a little dedication.

Oh, and your results are subject to change, so if you happen to turn down your true love because your personality types don't mesh, then I would try again every once in a while, just to be sure! Oh, and don't forget to divorce when your personality types change again. Remember: Even though most personality traits are determined entirely before you learn to speak, our personalities are constantly changing, so don't let scientific facts make you think less of our theoretical/hypothetical personality tests.

Meyers Briggs:
It's just a folly away.

Yeah lots of comic book villains are NTJ types! We apparently would like to take over the world. I picked my MySpace profile address before I understood any of this MTBI stuff... so I think it's quite funny that I picked "planetarydomination"!

Some people fall right on the borderlines in the test, and there's nothing wrong with that. I know people who are really into MTBI and it took them months to "figure it out," even though IMO it's not the outcome that's as important as the search.

Different tests work "better" for different people, as a function of how the questions are stated and interpreted. I personally like the one that's only 4 questions long! But it wouldn't work for everyone. Some people (like my best friend) need guidance to get anything close to a suitable answer.

In truth, this system doesn't describe discrete personality types as much as personality tendencies. For example: I tend to think first, I tend to plan things out, I tend to be introverted, I tend to value the big picture over the details.... (Who was it who said, "do you want it to look pretty, or do you want it to work?" That's basically how I think. )

I wasn't sure between INTJ and INTP, but after talking to a lot of people, I'm pretty sure the INTJ is "right." That doesn't mean I act like that profile says all the time... those are just generalizations. Some people DO let this stuff guide them, which is kind of absurd, though it's not as arbitrary as guiding your life with, say, astrology. People who depend on this stuff do so because they want life to have rules; it makes them feel more in control, and control is an illusion. I do think, however, that MTBI is a great exploratory tool.

Holy guacamole, I totally forgot that I took this! I wonder, if I took it again now, if I'd get a different result.

3.3% of the total population? Hmmm....
