What Personality Type are You?

[Valka D'Ur]

I got Logician, as well. It's reasonably accurate, although in some areas it's completely out to lunch. The question about jumping into social activities right away when starting a new job is irrelevant to me, since the only times I've not been my own boss have been situations in which socialization wasn't a factor (not a lot of Elections Canada DROs go out socializing after spending 14 hours straight at the polling station). If I wanted to socialize with anyone in my home-based business, I'd either read a book or have a game of Canasta with my grandmother (she would sometimes help out with collecting the fees when the clients came to pick up papers and I'd either be busy with other papers or grabbing some desperately-needed sleep). I never socialized with the production heads in the theatre since it always involved going to a bar.

If there are more than the expected number of Logicians here, it could be that we all like arguing, and I would guess that most of us either play (or have played) Civ. If you get creative enough, you can even find a logical reason why spearmen can defeat tanks or triremes can sink battleships.

Must be the great debating climate, the will for honest discussions without namecalling, and the acceptance of diverging opinions that has brought many of us logicians together here.

Or the sarcasm

Logician Personality (INTP, -A/-T)

poppycock

 

[Lohrenswald]

Take for example the question "I worry too much about what people think about me"

I chose heavily disagree. I assume the tests believes that to mean I don't care about what people think of me, but the truth is that I do, but I think I care less than I should

I don't know. There's a lot of praise of different "types" of people on that website. Sometimes I feel like I possess enormous deficiencies. Is there a personality type for me there?

Well, it's a matter of framing. It says about me that I have strong principles and get along well with people who share them. It doesn't say which principles. Could be "economic justice", could be "no race mixing" (it's not no race mixing).
It could also mean that I'm a dogmatic, inflexible and judgemental dick.

I got "Mediator" (INFP-T) which is totally out to lunch. I've taken the actual MBTI four times in a formal setting, and each time I wound up with INTJ.

I suspect that this test is not that accurate, and the description of my traits in the synopsis was not that accurate either.

 

[CivCube]

I'm an INFJ male, the rarest of 'em all. Supposedly.

DEBATER PERSONALITY (ENTP, -A/-T)
Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of ’crack-pot’ than the stigma of conformity. And on issues that seem important to you, stand up and be counted at any cost.

Why so many logicians already? They said there are only 3% of us.

They feel drawn to forums like ants to a picnic.

I got Architect. Sounds about right to me. Especially these parts of the description:

People with the Architect personality type are imaginative yet decisive, ambitious yet private, amazingly curious, but they do not squander their energy.

Architects enjoy sharing what they know as well, confident in their mastery of their chosen subjects, but they prefer to design and execute a brilliant plan within their field rather than share opinions on “uninteresting” distractions like gossip.

A paradox to most observers, Architects are able to live by glaring contradictions that nonetheless make perfect sense – at least from a purely rational perspective. For example, Architects are simultaneously the most starry-eyed idealists and the bitterest of cynics, a seemingly impossible conflict. But this is because Architect personalities tend to believe that with effort, intelligence and consideration, nothing is impossible, while at the same time they believe that people are too lazy, short-sighted or self-serving to actually achieve those fantastic results.

That last one 100% describes my basic worldview.

I guess I'm a campaigner (ENFP). Seems weird to me, since I'd self-describe as an intorvert. I like the description though.

More than just sociable people-pleasers though, Campaigners, like all their Diplomat cousins, are shaped by their Intuitive (N) quality, allowing them to read between the lines with curiosity and energy. They tend to see life as a big, complex puzzle where everything is connected – but unlike Analyst personality types, who tend to see that puzzle as a series of systemic machinations, Campaigners see it through a prism of emotion, compassion and mysticism, and are always looking for a deeper meaning.

I got the adventurer ISFP-A

73% introvert/extrovert
57% observant/intuitive
55% feeling/thinking
58% prospecting/judging
67% assertive/turbulent

My personality matches me well but the title of "Advocate" is a little wackadoodle. In fact, under "Careers," it describes how miserable advocates are as lawyers. I was a lawyer, and I was miserable. Afterwards, I got shanghaied into being President of a union local. That I loved!

 

[Mustakrakish]

Logician, whatever that is, with 76% prospective (was it?) rather than assertive and 77 turbulent rather than whatevs it was.

Spoiler :

This makes it ironic that Logicians’ word should always be taken with a grain of salt – it’s not that they are dishonest, but people with the Logician personality type tend to share thoughts that are not fully developed, using others as a sounding board for ideas and theories in a debate against themselves rather than as actual conversation partners.

This one passage I guess makes sense when you think about it, other than that it's useless "test" internet is full of. Everything is worded in similar ways like those Astrological calendars or whatever they're called.

ADVOCATE PERSONALITY (INFJ, -A/-T)

The Advocate personality type is very rare, making up less than one percent of the population, but they nonetheless leave their mark on the world. As members of the Diplomat Role group, Advocates have an inborn sense of idealism and morality, but what sets them apart is that they are not idle dreamers, but people capable of taking concrete steps to realize their goals and make a lasting positive impact.

Advocates tend to see helping others as their purpose in life, but while people with this personality type can be found engaging rescue efforts and doing charity work, their real passion is to get to the heart of the issue so that people need not be rescued at all.

An interesting result, because it does describe a sort of idealised version of myself, but not the self I actually am, because that would mean doing something rather than just complaining. I suppose that's always true of these things; they attempt to show you your best self, not the dysfunctional mess of a walking ape that you actually are. There's resonance, but any test that puts in a category alongside MLK and Nelson Mandela is, to put it lightly, going a bit too far with the flattery.

Well, I am insulted these tests compare me with Margeret Thatcher and Steve Jobs all the time. On the other hand, it does compare to Harrison Ford, so maybe there is yet hope.

A new hope......

Perhaps you're not as far away as you think. There's a lot to be said for not idolizing people.
