What's your Myers Briggs personality type?

*iris* · 02-24-2006, 02:05 PM

MTBI.

Some people LIVE by this personality type system. They look for love based on their personality type, pursue careers based on it, and find friends based on it. Some businesses even pay to have all their employees tested and assign work based on the results. While I personally wouldn't go that far with this, it's truly uncanny how well the personality descriptions can match you.

Take the test:
Similarminds
Cognitive Style Inventory
(both of these are really short)

What did you get? Does it work?

Here are some general type descriptions.
Here are some more descriptions.

Bit of an introduction to MTBI:

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator divides human personalities into 16 types. This system is based on descriptions of psychological types invented by Karl Jung (1875-1961), who is considered to be the founder of analytical psychology.

Personalities are determined by preferences:

Introvert (I) or Extravert (E)
Intuitive (N) or Sensing (S)
Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)
Perceiving (P) or Judging (J)

Note: Judging doesn't mean judgemental. It means you're more of a planner.

For example, for my result I get Introvert (I), Intuitive (N), Thinking (T), Judging (J)

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

I'm kind of a borderline INTP... I could say INTx is my type since the last part is a bit of a wildcard for me. Overall, the more detailed type descriptions reflect my preferences for the way I think and act.

Skeptics say that these types are unverifiable and subjective, and who knows, that might be the case. But even if that's true, they are a great tool for taking a look at your own instincts and behaviors.

Scored myself an INTP. Introvert, Intuitive, Thinking, Perceiving. "Architect: Greatest precision in thought and language. Can readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. The world exists primarily to be understood." I think I'm kinda inclined to agree.

I remember doing this test when I was in high school. I wish I could remember what I'd score. It would be nice to see what's changed as I've aged.

Haha, that typelogic site is by a guy named Joe Butt. Haha, butt.

*Anarky* · 02-24-2006, 02:21 PM

Extroverted (E) 58.33% Introverted (I) 41.67%
Intuitive (N) 58.33% Sensing (S) 41.67%
Feeling (F) 58.33% Thinking (T) 41.67%
Perceiving (P) 66.67% Judging (J) 33.33%

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

Whatever that means. I'd be happy if someone explained that to me...

I've taken the Typology Test before, and I MUST say that its very accurate for me, personally..

I've also taken a Temperament Sorter test, which was also rather helpful. The Protector Guardian

I am:

INTJ - Introverted Intuitive Thinking Judging "Mastermind"

No way, Iris!

Maybe that's why I'm always stealin' your words.

And while there's some stuff in the descriptions I've read so far that make me go "eehhh, no..." mostly I'm nodding my head. Gets frustrated when others slack on a project? Heckyes! And I actually was considering a science major before I found out there were majors for such things as animation...

Though it looks as if ISTJ would fit reasonably well, too.

Whoa... the N/S is really close and the T/F is equal. You are one balanced chica. How does the INTP description fit you? I would think that the INFP description might also fit.

Permanently jinxed?

I think it has more to do with advanced psychic powers.

I've heard that the N/S part represents the biggest difference in world view. I think one of the turtles is ISTJ... I wonder if anyone could guess which one?

Hrm, does it? I took two different tests; one said INTJ, one said ISTJ. And both descriptions fit me to a point, but ISTJ is probably closer - it has fewer things I disagree with.

Turtle, eh? Hmmm... I'ma say either Don or Leo... maybe Leo?

EDIT: Did some more (and longer) test-taking... and they're all coming up ISTJ. Even took a right/left brain test... I took one a few years ago that put me at dead even, but this one's leaning me to the left.

By all rights, I shouldn't be an artist.

Said the artist of the year!

Don't invest too much in the left brain/ right brain concept... or any other personality summation concept. Personality is a continuum that, try as we might, can't be divvied into discrete categories.

In MTBI, people supposedly score "S" because they tend to see the world as it is, and consequently have a great eye for detail.

I think ISTJ fits Leo pretty well. Don is even more INTJ than I am. Actually, ever since my psychologist friend started me on Myers Briggs, I've been amazed at how perfectly INTJ Don acts on the current show. hmm... I was just looking at an ISTJ profile, and I see this:

Quote:

Under stress, ISTJs may fall into "catastrophe mode", where they see nothing but all of the possibilities of what could go wrong. They will berate themselves for things which they should have done differently, or duties which they failed to perform. They will lose their ability to see things calmly and reasonably, and will depress themselves with their visions of doom.

Maybe someone at tmnt central is into Myers Briggs. Scary.

I wonder how well this stuff fits Mike (ENFP) and Raph (ESTP)?

*Masked Ninja* · 02-26-2006, 12:07 AM

Hah. Well, I only threw in the artist comment because it was listed under "disfavored careers" at one of the ISTJ description sites. My left/right brain result only made me laugh about it more.

Yup, I'm a weird 'un. But I likes it that way.

And Leo has always been the Turtle I've identified with most. Makes sense... I've never gone into a self-destructive spiral for failing to protect my family (

) but I have stressed out way too much over grades I should be happy about. College is certainly being a weird transition for me, when I'm forced to accept a 90% as "good." *hit with shoes*

Which would make Mikey my opposite... interesting...

I'ma certainly look up the other turtles in this... my "cartoon overanalyzing" side finds this absolutely fascinating. *dork*

Isn't analyzing the TMNT ridiculing this test? Those tests weren't made to analyze cartoon characters and I doubt that anyone of the TMNT-staff actually bothered to even think about EFNY and QROP...
