Lemmings with personality

You Are An INFJ

The Protector You live your life with integrity, originality, vision, and creativity. Independent and stubborn, you rarely stray from your vision - no matter what it is. You are an excellent listener with almost infinite patience. You have complex feelings, and you take great care to express them. In love, you see relationships as an opportunity to connect and grow. You enjoy relationships when they are improving and changing. You can't stand stagnation. At work, you stay motivated and happy... as long as you are working toward a dream you support. You would make a great photographer, alternative medicine guru, or teacher. How you see yourself: Hardworking, ethical, and helpful When other people don't get you, they see you as: Manipulative, weak, and unstable

What's Your Personality Type?

I don't know enough about the categories to know how far off this is, but a lot of it sounds right.

This is based off the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator...or at least the classification looks like it.

If you want to know the other types...here's a Wikipedia link. Or more specifically, on the same page, here are the categories

Yes -- I've seen M-B types all over the place. What I meant was that I'm not familiar enough with the system to be sure what it means, and don't have any information from other tests to know how accurate this one is, and not enough information from this one to know where I am in the space.

Interesting data point: this test also has me pegged at INFJ, and seems to go into a little more depth.

Ah...was hoping that the page would have helped shed light on it...sorry XD

[mdlbear]

It was useful, in that I probably do need to get more familiar with both the type space and my own location in it. But the most useful thing in it was the pointer to another version of the test -- that gives me another data point.

Incorrect link. It should be http://www.personalitytest.net/types/index.htm

Or, to go directly to the quiz:

Thanks -- I got careless.

Generally, if you score the same or near-same across several of the tests, that's probably close to what you'd score if formally tested. However, there's a good element of self-selection on those tests and that screws up the results.

INTP to the core, here. The formal testing was INTP; general casual web testing is usually INTP but sometime the P goes J if I'm answering based upon what I should/would do instead of want/normally do. The difference is usually in the followup, closure and loose-ends bit.

Now, if only I could get paid for it :)

I love the RPG adventure and setting design. I get to make up WORLDS. Worlds that WORK. Details that click together and all that. That's just so cool, and a natural for an INTP. I love it, love problem-solving, love digging down and objectively figuring out stuff, the connections, the relationships, etc. Finding out INTP-ness didn't really change anything, it just gave some good insight into why I loved what I did, and what things made me good at it vs held me back a bit.

*hugs* M-B isn't a be-all or end-all or excuse, but it's an interesting window into potential thinking and patterns and why some things click, some things may not, and so on.

Yeah, I wasn't at all confident about the results with only one test; having a second helps. Will have to start taking them more often for calibration.
