[Bernkastel]

I took the real deal at my Psych class in college (longest test EVER... something like 250+ questions).

Always been an INFJ. And that article is pretty spot on about me, but this even more:

Quote

They get "feelings" about things and intuitively understand them. As an extreme example, some INFJs report experiences of a psychic nature, such as getting strong feelings about there being a problem with a loved one, and discovering later that they were in a car accident. This is the sort of thing that other types may scorn and scoff at, and the INFJ themself does not really understand their intuition at a level which can be verbalized.

Because the INFJ has such strong intuitive capabilities, they trust their own instincts above all else.

Like, holy shit. I do believe in my gut feeling, that thing never lies to me. My intuition is pretty sharp as well. When it feels something is wrong, it's 99% of the time right. I can't even begin to explain how it works...

Quote

INFJs hold a special place in the heart of people who they are close to, who are able to see their special gifts and depth of caring. INFJs are concerned for people's feelings, and try to be gentle to avoid hurting anyone. They are very sensitive to conflict, and cannot tolerate it very well. Situations which are charged with conflict may drive the normally peaceful INFJ into a state of agitation or charged anger. They may tend to internalize conflict into their bodies, and experience health problems when under a lot of stress.

Especially with the bolded. I hate conflict. I'm terrified of myself getting angry. And I always have a horrible habit of keeping all my problems to myself, which has led to my pretty fucked up stomach complications. :/

Quote

They have strong value systems, and need to live their lives in accordance with what they feel is right. In deference to the Feeling aspect of their personalities, INFJs are in some ways gentle and easy going. Conversely, they have very high expectations of themselves, and frequently of their families. They don't believe in compromising their ideals.

I am very VERY faithful to my morals, beliefs, and ideals. I try to do what always feels right, which is going with my gut feeling. And I rarely go against these.

I found mine to be a near-perfect reading. I'm an ENFP through and through always energetic (until the processing from my N function comes in xD, that part suuucks) and open, I'm way too empathetic for my own good & of course have a penchant to pick things up a little quicker than most. I do also find those tips to be good overall to take into consideration (I do tend to be smothering, not willing to let go a relationship, ect. ect. xD). Meyer-Briggs is a veeeery good test and has in fact made me more aware of my behavioral functions, it's also helped me predict what others want from me and what they're going to do next even more than I already can. I'm always trying to get my friends to take the test, I just want to know and I really think they can benefit! mostly want to know their type though, so shhhh! xD

Honestly though those portraits are very through but I suggest learning more about individual functions and how they work in YOUR personality type. One JUST isn't defined by the category in Meyer-Briggs! That lies in the behavioral functions : D! Does that make sense? XD I'm trying to say ENFP has the behavior of Ne→Fi→Te→Si, Ni→Fe→Ti→Se. The Wikipedia articles on each type gives good insight on the functions and I also suggest looking for articles on one's own functions!

Also I'm Curious! How about we post our own types too!! I'd be very interested to see the proportions of people as ENFP, INFJ, ESFP, ect. in VocaloidOtaku! Maybe a poll on this? c:

[Pomelo]

So this is like that myPersonality thing? I took this one and I'm pretty sure I got a different result.

Yeah, on mypersonality I got ISFP and on this one I got ISFJ. I think i like this one a little more, though.

Here

Some points I think are true about myself:

Spoiler

• your primary mode of living is focused internally
  
• value harmony and cooperation, and are likely to be very sensitive to other people's feelings
  
• constantly take in information about people and situations that is personally important to them, and store it away. This tremendous store of information is usually startlingly accurate, because the ISFJ has an exceptional memory about things that are important to their value systems.
  
• have a very clear idea of the way things should be
  
• tend to believe that existing systems are there because they work. Therefore, they're not likely to buy into doing things in a new way.
  
• They do not usually express their own feelings, keeping things inside. If they are negative feelings, they may build up inside the ISFJ until they turn into firm judgments against individuals which are difficult to unseed, once set.
  
• Just as the ISFJ is not likely to express their feelings, they are also not likely to let on that they know how others are feeling. ('cause awwkwaaard)
  
• has a difficult time saying "no" when asked to do something, and may become over-burdened. In such cases, the ISFJ does not usually express their difficulties to others, because they intensely dislike conflict
  
• ISFJs need positive feedback from others. In the absence of positive feedback, or in the face of criticism, the ISFJ gets discouraged, and may even become depressed. When down on themselves or under great stress, the ISFJ begins to imagine all of the things that might go critically wrong in their life. They have strong feelings of inadequacy, and become convinced that "everything is all wrong", or "I can't do anything right". (This is about the most accurate thing I've ever read orz)

There are also a few ISFP stuff I think describes me pretty well:

Spoiler

• your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your value system
  
• They have a strong set of values, which they strive to consistently meet in their lives. They need to feel as if they're living their lives in accordance with what they feel is right, and will rebel against anything which conflicts with that goal.
  
• tend to be quiet and reserved, and difficult to get to know well. They hold back their ideas and opinions except from those who they are closest to.
  
• They're likely to be animal lovers, and to have a true appreciation for the beauties of nature.
  
• need to have personal space
  
• They have an unusually deep well of caring for those who are close to them
  
• have no desire to lead or control others
  
• likely to not give themself enough credit for the things which they do extremely well. Their strong value systems can lead them to be intensely perfectionist, and cause them to judge themselves with unneccesary harshness.

But obviously like you said, it isn't 100% accurate and I think I take up little components from each one, neither of them are perfect in describing me but they do hold a lot of truths.

But I don't know, I think these types of tests are interesting and all but I don't think or care much about them. It's a bit silly to me.

Oh hey, I've been researching this lately actually.

And if you didn't guess from that sentence, I've been continuously receiving INTP as my type, though I have yet to take the full test. However, I find that it fits well for the majority of things I do, and does explain some of my quirks, especially the "Over analyzing" and "Never stops thinking" parts, coupled with my inability to function in many social situations (Hence the Introverted). That I can also whittle away hours researching topics which fascinate me and have very little time for that which does not only adds to this, however I do not at this point believe that the test can be indicative of one's entire personality.

Some other points I find match my personality (Quoted from the source as well as my other findings):

Spoiler

• They live primarily inside their own minds, having the ability to analyze difficult problems, identify patterns, and come up with logical explanations
• They may seem "dreamy" and distant to others, because they spend a lot of time inside their minds musing over theories.
• They're very tolerant and flexible in most situations, unless one of their firmly held beliefs has been violated or challenged, in which case they may take a very rigid stance
• The INTP has no understanding or value for decisions made on the basis of personal subjectivity or feelings
• The INTP may have a problem with self-aggrandizement and social rebellion, their well thought-out understanding of an idea is not easily understandable by others
• Precise about their descriptions, INTPs will often correct others (or be sorely tempted to) if the shade of meaning is a bit off. In seasons of low energy level, or moments of single-minded concentration, the INTP is aloof and detached in a way that might even offend more relational or extroverted individuals.

TLDR: I analyze. Everything. And I'm good at it, however it is at the expense of my emotions most of the time, which I feel often get in the way so I do not mind much. However, this process of ignoring them can cause me to become overwhelmed and I sometimes exhibit signs of emotional breakdowns, though these often fade as soon as I have had some rational thinking time to compose myself. I also have very little patience for those who are ruled by emotion (such as my best friend) and can become easily irritated with them when they cease being rational.


Other characteristics I have noticed in my habits and social interactions which are said to be those of an INTP:

Spoiler

• Ability to concentrate on an subject of interest to a ridiculous level
• Lack of willingness to reveal emotions in public (or at all)
• Clutter. Clutter everywhere
• Obsessive collecting of interesting objects
• Taking firm stances if my beliefs are questioned, at least in the moment. After the matter I often find myself re-assessing my position, though it rarely changes drastically
• An abuse of brackets while typing (I am terrible about this. Just look at me.)
• Having to explain to my friend that I am not fond of the term "Love" when she gets confused as to why I replied "I am platonically fond of you."
• Being unable to deal with people who base their decisions on emotion
• Child-like energy and glee in relation to topics which interest me
• ANALYZE. EVERYTHING. And then analyze your analysis for good measure.
• An inability to conform to many social norms
• Not wanting to conform to said norms
• Rambling on like this
• Procrastinating like a boss
• ... Because you went on a Wiki-walk
• Constantly running of on mental tangents because of a mention of a topic that interests me
• Staring off into space constantly (I actually had a classmate ask me if I was all right the other day because of this)
• The fact that I have edited this post like three times now since posting it
• ect.

Still, as I stated earlier, I do not believe that these are completely accurate (in a similar vein to astrology) however I find it interesting and when examined may have some relevance (Again, similar to astrology, however I am only referring to sun signs traits in this. While some Virgo traits may match up well for me, I understand that others may have different experiences regarding this (Also it's amusing). And there I go again, abusing brackets.)

Nice to meet you :3

Right now the biggest aspect I saw that I've been trying to work on is taking criticism objectively, and not as an attack to my character or insult to my values. I know how to do this, I need to get into the habit of actually practicing it. Tonight I overcame something for the first time, it really is an internal battle, but I literally took a deep breath and learned to let go of a screw up I made (I spilled some soda in this guy's car, and he was just telling me to forget it. I felt so much guilt bottling up quickly, but I tried to take it objectively. He seemed really calm, and if he's saying forget it, I need to forget it. Why this seemed like such a huge obstacle I don't know, but the moment I did I felt so much tension released.)

Nice to meet you too! :3 you're the first ENFP I've met! The closest I've came was my ENTP friend but still xD!

And good job!! I know how tough that is and it really is a struggle taking things objectively! God, I wish we didn't take things so to heart! :c Curse and bless our need to please! xD

I've done this before a long time ago...I was in high school. I think I was INTJ...I think...

What I am now, for some reason, is ISTJ. I don't know what changed... 0.o;;

But, a lot of points about ISTJ seem to describe me.

Quote

ISTJs are quiet and reserved individuals who are interested in security and peaceful living. They have a strongly-felt internal sense of duty, which lends them a serious air and the motivation to follow through on tasks. Organized and methodical in their approach, they can generally succeed at any task which they undertake.

Yep.

Quote

ISTJs are very loyal, faithful, and dependable. They place great importance on honesty and integrity. They are "good citizens" who can be depended on to do the right thing for their families and communities. While they generally take things very seriously, they also usually have an offbeat sense of humor and can be a lot of fun - especially at family or work-related gatherings.

Ooh, yeah. XD

Quote

ISTJs tend to believe in laws and traditions, and expect the same from others. They're not comfortable with breaking laws or going against the rules. If they are able to see a good reason for stepping outside of the established mode of doing things, the ISTJ will support that effort. However, ISTJs more often tend to believe that things should be done according to procedures and plans. If an ISTJ has not developed their Intuitive side sufficiently, they may become overly obsessed with structure, and insist on doing everything "by the book".

DAMN yes. I have a tough time working in groups because if things aren't done a certain way and in a timely manner, it ticks me off something fierce!

...I can't sit here and copy and paste the entire thing, because that's exactly what I'd be doing. Holy crap, this describes me (recent me) so well, it's not even funny.

I've even found this part to be true especially as of the past year or so:

Spoiler

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.

...@.@;; Damn. That's creepy.

Hmmm i got an ESTP

Seems like it was a pretty good match with how i am

These things are pretty true about me

Spoiler

-primary mode of living is focused externally, where you take things in via your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion.
-Your secondary mode is internal, where you deal with things rationally and logically.
- live in the here-and-now, and place little importance on introspection or theory.
-The look at the facts of a situation, quickly decide what should be done, execute the action, and move on to the next thing.
-have an uncanny ability to perceive people's attitudes and motivations. They pick up on little cues which go completely unnoticed by most other types, such as facial expressions and stance.
-They're typically a couple of steps ahead of the person they're interacting with. ESTPs use this ability to get what they want out of a situation.
-Rules and laws are seen as guidelines for behavior, rather than mandates.
- If the ESTP has decided that something needs to be done, then their "do it and get on with it" attitude takes precendence over the rules.
-However, the ESTP tends to have their own strong belief in what's right and what's wrong, and will doggedly stick to their principles.
-The Rules of the Establishment may hold little value to the ESTP, but their own integrity mandates that they will not under any circumstances do something which they feel to be wrong.
- They make decisions based on facts and logic.
-They are impatient with theory, and see little use for it in their quest to "get things done"-
occasionally have strong intuitions which are often way off-base, but sometimes very lucid and positive.
-The ESTP does not trust their instincts, and is suspicious of other people's intuition as well.
-gets bored with classes in which they feel they gain no useful material which can be used to get things done.

I don't care about theory, i just want things to get done. That is a good way to summarize me.

[Saurus]

I did this yesterday, came out an INFP.

Apparently I'm creative and intelligent, and I make a great friend. But on the downside I tend to relate everything that happens with someone to myself and try to analyze it through my own eyes, in stead of trying to see things through theirs.

I don't think you can really categorize everyone into a certain "type", but it can sketch a global image of who you are, what your strengths and weaknesses are and what you may be able to change about yourself.

Overall, the personality described fit me pretty well, though there was an excerpt about spirituality. I don't see myself as a spiritual person at all.

[SeeU]

INTJ - "the scientist" (lol what a joke i suck balls at science)

Spoiler

• They value intelligence, knowledge, and competence, and typically have high standards in these regards, which they continuously strive to fulfill. To a somewhat lesser extent, they have similar expectations of others.
  
• INTJs are natural leaders, although they usually choose to remain in the background until they see a real need to take over the lead.
  
• Indeed, the INTJ is not overly demonstrative of their affections, and is likely to not give as much praise or positive support as others may need or desire.

basically i'm a mean-mugging bitch who judges others 24/7

[Raven Vox]

@above.
...

...*cough*

I must ask, my fellow INTJ, of what science do you speak?
Remember, there is a science to all things, not just that which is found in a lab.
I've also heard INTJ be called 'the Innovator' or 'The Commander' before, if that helps, but it was in an off hand course, so don't apply too much to it.

-------------------

Myeself, I am, obviously INTJ, according to the short test.
Yet I've somehow ended up with INFJ before on a long test before, but INTJ fits me better, imho.
...
Strikingly enough actually, considering I'm currently metaphorically sitting on plans for an commonly-assumed-unprovable perpetual motion device, not so much to drive it to all possible extents but merely to bring closure to a life long pursuit...
While simultaniously discussing running for president in 4 cycles due to the fact I see this country bailing unless something changes...

[Ravioli]

I got ISFP. Some parts I feel apply to me, but most parts don't, so I dunno what happened there.
