Lucky dog. Put a P where the J is and getting girls can be bit dicey.

Free personality test | 16 Personality Types
This subject has come up in a few other threads around here recently, so I thought it might be interesting to post the test above for the whole board to take.
I'm honestly curious to see what kinds of personality types DP seems most likely to attract.
As for myself, I am a "Rational" INTJ (Introverted 67%, intuitive 50%, Thinking 63%, Judging 23%) type.
Is this is the same test as the one you posted in the other thread? If so, I already took and was ENFP I think?
Yup. The same one.
I believe it was ENFP last time.
For instance I have been in some very extremely dangerous very high stress situations both as part of a team and as a leader. My personality at those times would be described probably as machine like, very cold, curt, precise, disembodied and utterly no fear or other feeling, ruthless even, utterly and completely focused. Feelings of any kind were dampened to almost nothing other than an occasional passing thought. The best way to describe it would be to as watching yourself though your own eyes while your body is on autopilot and you are observing and making occasional corrections. Things are moving fast and slow at the same time. Decisions were made instantaneously without regard to the feelings of others in regards to accomplishing the mission that was at hand, which was the highest priority. Many of my decisions were made before the mission ever left base and just adjusted for circumstance of the time. I have only ever had that "personality" if you will while under the most arduous of circumstance. I have never duplicated it stateside, ever. Most decisions of any consequence I tend to over analyze and dither a bit, more so the less clear cut the optimum choice is, and I tend to stop and examine shiny objects that catch my fancy. My family calls out shiny object every time I get sidetracked which is very often. Absent minded would be a generous term. I am so bad I get sidetracked, while am sidetracked, I love finding rabbit holes to explore. The point being that I think most people have a at least a duality of personality that can be polar opposite of their primary personality which I think that a personality test unless its exceptionally detailed is not going to catch especially if the subjects have never been in high stress situations, so the subjects wouldn't even know about that side of their personality.
ENFP.
When I was in college, I took one of these tests and I got "INTJ." So it just goes to show how our personalities can change in only a couple years.
My fiancee took the quiz and it says she's an INFJ type.
I'm an ENTP type. Preferred partners: INTJ and INFJ types.
The INFJ type is believed to be very rare (less than 1 percent of the population) and it has an unusual set of traits.
Less than 1% of the population. "Unusual set of traits". I can certainly agree with that. She's a very rare catch indeed. That could explain why it took me so damn long to find her. The number of women I've dated is well into the triple digits. But now I've finally found the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with.
That actually sounds a lot like me. If nothing particularly interesting is going on, I'll generally be in my own head keeping busy with something else. This can have a tendency to make me rather absent minded under most circumstances, though I am still probably more observant of my surroundings than most other people.
If I see something that catches my interest, I will also generally stop to take the time to investigate like you do even if other people think it's a waste of time.
However, when I'm hard at work on a project, that basically goes completely out the window. Some of my co-workers have actually said that I go into a "trance" of sorts. I tune the rest of the world out almost completely, and go into a "machine mode" like you described as I try to work the problem at hand to completion.
It's not terribly unusual for people to even have to raise their voice a bit or physically touch me to snap me out of it.
That's a Hell of a shift. :lol:
I honestly have a hard time ever picturing you as an INTJ given how you've described yourself. You seem like too much of a social butterfly, and a lot of your political views (on the military, for instance) are rather decidedly turned towards the "feeling" side of things.
Personality is very fluid, much more so than current research suggests, in my opinion. I know in my own case, I was very introverted when I was a kid all the way through college. I hated being that way because I felt like I was missing out on life, so I forced myself to come out of my shell by joining meetup groups and making a bunch of friends.
I made myself go out with new people every time I had the chance. I took my degree in engineering and told the company I work for that I wanted to go in to sales or marketing... where I would be judged on my ability to deal with people.
At first, it was very difficult for me. I was very much in my own head, and I was very nervous to do these things. What started to happen, though, is I started making a lot of great memories. I started having a lot of fun out with new friends and coworkers and so forth, and I started to realize that these were the best times of my life. I started to realize that I'm a little bit of an attention whore, and that has made me much more extraverted.
I still have some introverted tendencies.... I love to watch movies alone, I like to visit this site and goof around online, I love to read.... but I really get my energy from being the center of attention in a group of people. Having the spotlight on you is kind of addictive.
As for the F versus the J.... I think that goes hand in hand a bit with my development. As I broke away from my books and started focusing on social relationships, I realized that the world is all about people. Every person is worth something, and people aren't fully logical. Also, I started to become more religious and compassion for others is a big part of what my religion teaches.
I also think my journey from a J to and F had a bit to do with my increasing social and emotional intelligence which came with experience. Having an intuitive sense of what other people are feeling, and being able to tell stories and express yourself with passion are very valuable social tools. Emotion is how people connect and form relationships. I think just gearing my mind more in that direction had me migrate from being more of a logic-oriented thinker to a human-oriented feeler.
Interesting. You basically "trained" yourself into a new mental framework then?
I certainly don't see any reason why something like that couldn't be possible. Personality is tied to brain structure, after all, and the brain is ultimately an organ like any other.
The more practice it has performing any particular task, the more efficient it will become at it. It's entirely possible that you basically forced yourself to "rewire" your system from being right brain dominant to being left brain dominant instead.
I like the way I am now, so I wouldn't try something like that. Still though, kudos on the effort. eace
That's sort of how Stephanie put it. She said that being with me makes her break out of her shell and just let herself loose once in a while.Apparently, INTJs are best paired with either ENTP or ENFP personality types, as they are outgoing enough to be able to draw us out of our shells while not finding our pricklier tendencies overtly off-putting, or other INTJs or INFJs, as they think more or less like we do.
Reading through this thread it appears that this site has an unusual number of INTJs and INFJs considering how rare they are. That might be why I tend to visit this site often whenever I'm surfing the net.That's actually kind of funny, considering some of the posters I seem to spend the most time talking to around here. :lol:

Yea. Web forums are pretty much guaranteed to draw in the more geeky and introverted personality types more often than not.
INTJs and INFJs fit that to a "T," as do many members of the idealist crowd.
Your personality type: INTJ.
Strength of individual traits: Introversion - 67%, Intuition - 24%, Thinking - 7%, Judging - 11%.
You're on "teh interwbz" arguing about politics. You tell me. :mrgreen:

No, no! Say it ain't so!

Don't much care for this particular test, too much absolutes that make for less than exact answers.
I agree that some of my answers to some of the questions would be completely dependent on the particular situation.
I agree that it's pretty far from flawless, but I think it gets the general gist of a person's way of thinking well enough.
It'd be pretty cool if I could find the professional version of the test and post that up though. :lol:
