Has any of you taken an MBTI personality test?

[asdasan]

Just wondering if you guys have ever taken a so-called Myers-Briggs personality test, and what your score was.

Mine is ENTJ. Ironic, since it's the one most associated with success.

We can't all live up to our potential I suppose.

I've never taken the official test, but I heard that the results are about as inconsistent as online tests. Online tests always give me some kind of INxx type. Jung's functions are probably a better way to tell your type imo, they're what MBTI is based on. My functional stack is definitely Ni-Te-Fi-Se, which lines right up with INTJ. I think the problem with MBTI tests is that they ask things that people could do differently one day to the next, without any consideration that their actions change from day to day because we don't use our cognitive functions the same all the time. Stressed out people use their weaker functions more and might get a wrong T/F or S/N result.

Correct, I did the Socionics and the functions test. Both came back with Te dom, and the functions were Te-Ni-Se-Fi (ENTJ). Also, when I feel the worst, my behaviour can only be described as a massive Fi grip.

A huh?
Never taken any kind.

Most basic one is on the 16personalities website. In-depth would be a "cognitive functions test".

It's amazing how well those results can describe you, provided you answer sincerely.

I've actually taken an official personality test with a psychologist. I have also taken online tests that gave me very similar results to the real one.

I mostly get INTP but I have also been told that I am an INTJ

16personalities is not really seen as legit in the mbti community, though you could argue that the whole MBTI theory is inaccurate itself.

I'm surprised a psychologist did the test with you, every psych I've been to acts like I'm a quack when I talk about it lol

I feel like most psychological tests (including IQ) will be replaced by more sophisticated ones in the future.

Don't they all try to act like we're "quacks" lol

No wonder, that 16personalities test works solely on dichotomies. Hardly an accurate way to "stereotype" someone.

Another reason why The TI in MBTI stands for "Type Indicator".

It was when my visual processing ability was being tested and they did some sort of personality disorder screening. It was not a typical personality test but it did summarize my personality. It basically said "Meretlein is a drama queen who is easy going and likeable. Sometimes immature af". I was 15 when this was done so I don't remember much.

Made me chuckle.

I hope they do. All the tests out now suck

INFP-T.

I find it odd how psychologists, psychiatrists, and a lot of laypeople will cling to those tests and to all treatments. To them their tests are infallible and there is a treatment for everything. Cardiologists will freely admit that they cannot fix every disease of the heart and yet we are supposed to believe every disease of the brain can be fixed? Last time I checked the brain is a much more complex and less understood organ than the heart.

 

[TheNorthernSilence]

I have done it a couple of times, I always get INFJ.

 

[CFLoser]

ya it said i was an INTP. I forget wat that means though, i think it means im a genius :)

 

[wannabesetfree]

INTJ

 

[PrincessInWhite]

ENFJ here! The N and the J are flexible, the E and the F are pretty fixed haha

 

[dovistico]

I' m clearly an INFP (sometimes called healer or mediator).

 

[Painless_end]

INFP Male. Hardest type of all.

 

[Broken Chimera]

INTJ.

 

[TheSoulless]

I've gotten INTP most often, but I think the MBTI is nonsense. Personality can't be categorized accurately with so few attributes.

 

[charlottewilts]

INTJ > INFP for me over a span of two years. i'd have to retake it, God knows what it is now.

 

[Nemeshisu]

I am INFP apparently. I think that personality tests like this are kind of pointless though. They are just like horoscopes i.e. they use rather vague descriptions that could be applied to most people. Human character is more complex than that and cannot be simply meassured by just 4 traits.

Enfj and in the Ti grip a lot. Also Enneagram 6

 

[BabyYoda]

INFP. I don't like it at all.

There's more than 4 traits though. All the letters represent dichotomies where you lean one way. Whichever one you lean towards has various traits. You can also act out of preferences for things like stress, or being in certain environments, and circumstances that call for it, or push you into it.
