wish I knew
For fun I took this personality test. I do that about every 5 or 10 years. My results from the test below. The job suggestions it had include stuff I have done and seems reasonable.

"ISTJ

Introvert(56%) Sensing(1%) Thinking(75%) Judging(78%)
•You have moderate preference of Introversion over Extraversion (56%)
•You have marginal or no preference of Sensing over Intuition (1%)
•You have distinctive preference of Thinking over Feeling (75%)
•You have strong preference of Judging over Perceiving (78%)"

Here's the site if you want to take the test.

People taking these tests like it means something makes me froth at the mouth.

Also, INTJ.
 
Tests like that don't define who you should be, but can help you understand who you are.

Getting a lot of Es in whatever permutation of the test when I had always seen myself as an introvert threw a whole new light in a lot of the things I went through in my life (tendency to isolate myself and run away from people and just how badly it was hurting me, given that extroverts *need* to be around other people).

Most recent tests have given me a pretty standard ENFP, by the way.

EDIT: also observing where you are in relations to other is pretty interesting. Such as with my best friend. She and I agree on the vast majority of topics, but we end up arguing anyway because even though we agree on the results, the way we approach the problems are polar opposites. She is, of course, an ISTJ to my ENFP.

I have had the same kind of epiphanies belatedly. Not understanding why there were issues and better ways to deal with them.
 
I always get INTJ on these tests.

It what I always get too. It's supposed to the rare but maybe it comes with the territory of the demographics of the site.
 
I guess INTJ makes sense.
 
ENTJ

You do have to take these tests with a grain of salt though. While I scored ENTJ for the vast majority of times, I remember having scored ESTP and INTJ on rare occasions as well.

The more extensive versions of the test often give you a break down of your tendencies in each category.

I always come up extremely I, strongly N, and moderately T, but I'm so borderline on the P and J axis that I can get different results on the same day from the same questionnaire depending on how recently I had my last cup of tea or whether the weather's changed.

Fun for a laugh, mostly in trying to predict other peoples scores, but not much more than that.
 
Always EN

Today ENFP. Have also been ENTP, ENTJ.

Probably the most important distinction is whether someone is an N or an S.

Well, i seem to come down decidedly on the N side:

Introvert(28%)
iNtuitive(62%)
Thinking(1%)
Judging(1%)​

I have the vague recollection of having done this several times before and i doubt my results over time are close to another. Well, the N seems to stick, but 62 provides for some leeway, so...
 
The F/T distinction shows up quite a good deal in my family, and is the heart of fairly noteworthy rift...my father and two of my siblings (youngest brother and sister) are essentially thinkers...rational, logical about everything. Whereas my middle brother, myself and my mother are feelers, we tend to approach thing from how people will feel about them.

It causes quite a few conflicts between "But if you think about it logically, there's no reason to be offended" vs "He's offended, and it's a pretty human reaction in the situation."

P/J has also started conflicts between my father and I. His reaction to a plan is "Okay, let's do this". My reactino to a plan is often "Yeah, but it has these issues. How do we handle them?".
 
INFP

You have slight preference of Introversion over Extraversion (22%)
You have strong preference of Intuition over Sensing (88%)
You have moderate preference of Feeling over Thinking (38%)
You have moderate preference of Perceiving over Judging (39%)

looks like I've flipped from T to F. Perf is becoming a softie :ack:
 
I generally waver between INTJ and INTP, not that these represent anything actual, and most modern psychologists would argue that trying to box people into pre-defined archetypes like this is rather silly. But it is fun in the WHICH HOUSE WOULD YOU BE SORTED INTO or WHICH GAME OF THRONES CHARACTER ARE YOU, REALLY? sort of way.

In the interests of doing just that:

It's even funnier when you see the four different chart out there for Potter (I think I'm Tonks on three of them and Ron on the one above)
 
ISFJ
Introvert(89%) Sensing(12%) Feeling(12%) Judging(11%)

You have strong preference of Introversion over Extraversion (89%)
You have slight preference of Sensing over Intuition (12%)
You have slight preference of Feeling over Thinking (12%)
You have slight preference of Judging over Perceiving (11%)

Most of the questions were bretty bad IMO. I remember getting INTJ on one of these before.
 
I consistently get INTP on these tests. I don't remember the numbers from the last time I took this (and I don't plan to take it again now) but all the preferences were pretty strong.



It seems like if it is to call this a Jung personality test rather than MBTI that it should be one of those tests that independently tries to measure of each of the Jungian Cognitive Processes:

Introverted Sensing (Si) ~ Reviewing and recalling past experiences and seeking detailed data
Extraverted Sensing (Se) ~ Experiencing and acting in the immediate context.
Introverted Intuition (Ni) ~ Foreseeing implications, transformations, and likely effects
Extraverted Intuition (Ne) ~ Interpreting situations and relationships and pickup meanings and interconnections to other contexts
Introverted Thinking (Ti) ~ Analyzing, categorizing, and evaluating according to objective principles
Extraverted Thinking (Te) ~ Segmenting, organizing for efficiency, and systematizing
Introverted Feeling (Fi) ~ Valuing and considering personal importance, beliefs, and worth
Extraverted Feeling (Fe) ~ Connecting and considering others and the group


MBTI is not supposed to be merely a set of four dichotomies, but a way of placing those processes in order of preference.

The E/I determines whether one's overall most preferred function has an introverted or extroverted attitude. The N/S determines whether the perceiving function one most strongly prefers is intuition or sensing. The T/F determines whether the judging function one most strongly prefers is thinking or feeling. The P/J determines whether one's strongest function that has an extraverted attitude is a perceiving function or a judging function.


It is presumed that the functions alternate back and forth in attitude and type. If your strongest function is a judging (or perceiving) function, then your weakest is the judging (or perceiving) function of the opposite attitude. (For now, we'll ignore the shadow functions.) Ne & Si, Ni & Se, Fe & Ti, and Fi & Te always come paired together.


INTP is supposed to mean that Ti > Ne > Si > Fe and INTJ that Ni > Te > Fi > Se, making them extremely different from each other despite having only one letter difference in the type code.


It seems like there is less conflict between thinking and feeling than there is between the Te/Fi and Ti/Fe pairs. An xxTP type has more in common with an xxFJ typ than with an xxTJ.
