Title: Myers Briggs Personality Test
Post by: Rinku on May 09, 2009, 02:27:52 PM
In English class we took the Myers Briggs Personality Test and I got ESTP.

This website is not the same original test that I took, but still almost as good
http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp

The results are surprisingly accurate... almost scarily so...

Just curious bout what you guys all are; so, be a dear, take that test, and post some results. ^^

"ESTPs are outgoing, straight-shooting types. Enthusiastic and excitable, ESTPs are "doers" who live in the world of action. Blunt, straight-forward risk-takers, they are willing to plunge right into things and get their hands dirty. They 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.

ESTPs 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."

Wow, I found a similar thing using Stumble the other day!
I am an ISFJ
Introvert, Sensing, Feeling, Judging

According to Keirsey, ISFJs, or "Protector Guardians", are most concerned with taking care of people by keeping them safe and secure. They are modest caretakers who do not demand credit or thanks for their efforts. But while they are essentially very compassionate—and in fact exercise more patience in dealing with the disabled than perhaps any other type—their shyness with strangers can lead others to misread them as standoffish. Only among friends and family may this quiet type feel comfortable speaking freely. ISFJs are serious people with a strong work ethic, not inclined to self-indulgence. They believe in being meticulous and thrifty. They work well alone. While they may enjoy taking care of others, they do not enjoy giving orders.


This is so me. Except I can be quite self indulgent =)

ISTP, I guess.

Introverted: 78%
Sensing: 12%
Thinking: 1%
Perceiving: 11%

Eh, it fits me, and yet, it doesn't. For instance, I'm usually one for thinking too much and overanalyzing things.

Your Type is INTP


Introverted   Intuitive   Thinking   Perceiving
Strength of the preferences %
11   38   50   56

What worries me about my result is that it puts my type as jerk focused on anlysis and reason.
[...]show the greatest precision in thought and speech of all the types. They tend to see distinctions and inconsistencies instantaneously, and can detect contradictions no matter when or where they were made.
[...]are relatively easy-going and amenable to almost anything until their principles are violated.
[...]mathematics is a system where many INTPs love to play, similarly languages, computer systems--potentially any complex system.
[...]prize intelligence, and with their grand desire to grasp the structure of the universe, they can seem arrogant and may show impatience with others who have less ability, or who are less driven.

I've got to say this is actually pretty accurate, or at least it felt like he was talkig about me when I read it.

INFJ.

"Beneath the quiet exterior, INFJs hold deep convictions about the weightier matters of life. Those who are activists -- INFJs gravitate toward such a role -- are there for the cause, not for personal glory or political power.

INFJs are champions of the oppressed and downtrodden. They often are found in the wake of an emergency, rescuing those who are in acute distress. INFJs may fantasize about getting revenge on those who victimize the defenseless. The concept of 'poetic justice' is appealing to the INFJ.

"There's something rotten in Denmark." Accurately suspicious about others' motives, INFJs are not easily led. These are the people that you can rarely fool any of the time. Though affable and sympathetic to most, INFJs are selective about their friends. Such a friendship is a symbiotic bond that transcends mere words.

INFJs have a knack for fluency in language and facility in communication. In addition, nonverbal sensitivity enables the INFJ to know and be known by others intimately.

Writing, counseling, public service and even politics are areas where INFJs frequently find their niche."

I guess it fits me...

That's funny. I woulda never guessed.

That 100% might not have been completly accurate, though.  There were a number of questions where I wished there was a "Maybe" or "Sometimes" option.

"When it comes to their own areas of expertise -- and INTJs can have several -- they will be able to tell you almost immediately whether or not they can help you, and if so, how. INTJs know what they know, and perhaps still more importantly, they know what they don't know.

INTJs are perfectionists, with a seemingly endless capacity for improving upon anything that takes their interest. What prevents them from becoming chronically bogged down in this pursuit of perfection is the pragmatism so characteristic of the type: INTJs apply (often ruthlessly) the criterion "Does it work?" to everything from their own research efforts to the prevailing social norms. This in turn produces an unusual independence of mind, freeing the INTJ from the constraints of authority, convention, or sentiment for its own sake. "

BUT WILL IT BLEND?

yeah, this pretty much describes me to a T.

Sadly, it's the same here.

I can't stand it when things aren't able to be improved, so I try to hard to improve it.

But yeah, I are perfectionist...

I got the same thing as you. It's pretty cool how it got me. I can read facial expressions like a snap. I also do look at rules for judgement, but no for conduct. But it pretty much said that me and you are like, awesome.
