Hi!

Want to join me on a mystical journey of self-discovery? Of course you do!

To be fair, I stole this idea off another site, but I thought I might try it here just out of personal curiosity. Though I'll fully understand if nobody can be bothered, because it takes a bit of effort to fill out the test.

Basically, it's the Jung personality test. You answer some questions, and you get to find out which of 16 personality types most resemble you.

I've provided a link to the test:
http://www.similarminds.com/jung.html
This is the shortest version of the test I could find - 50 odd questions (!), but it doesn't take long, trust me.

I think this could be interesting... Though I'll understand if you have better things to do than answer a bunch of stupid questions. However! Give it a go! It might be of some use to you in your recovery. Descriptions of each personality type are available on the site, and you can google for more info too.

Thanks for participating!

I have usually gotten either INTP or INFP, but I think I've also gotten INTJ and ISFP.

This time I got INTP, but the N, T, and P were all only about 55 percent, and the INFP description above sounds a lot like me, too.

Interesting facts...

People with the INxx type are the most likely to be love-shy.

Hitler was an INFJ - which is the same personality type as Jesus and Martin Luther King!

The least common type of personality is the INFJ.

NTs are rarer than any other group.

Just Lurking · 10-09-2009, 09:32 AM

I'm on the border of ISTJ and ISFJ (lean towards the former).

Judging (J) 52.63% Perceiving (P) 47.37%

INFJ - "Author". Strong drive and enjoyment to help others. Complex personality. 1.5% of total population.

INFJs are warm and affirming people who are usually also deep and complex. They're likely to seek out and promote relationships that are intense and meaningful. They tend to be perfectionists, and are always striving for the Ultimate Relationship. For the most part, this is a positive feature, but sometimes works against the INFJ if they fall into the habit of moving from relationship to relationship, always in search of a more perfect partner. In general, the INFJ is a deeply warm and caring person who is highly invested in the health of their close relationships, and puts forth a lot of effort to make them positive. They are valued by those close to them for these special qualities. They seek long-term, lifelong relationships, although they don't always find them.

They are usually extremely intuitive individuals, who will have no patience for anyone they feel is dishonest or corrupt. They'll have no interest in being around these kinds of people.

Seems mostly accurate

I didn't know my personality type is so rare...

Efsee · 10-09-2009, 09:59 AM

INTJ

loner, more interested in intellectual pursuits than relationships or family, not very altruistic, not very complimentary, would rather be friendless than jobless, observer, values solitude, perfectionist, detached, private, not much fun, hidden, skeptical, does not tend to like most people, socially uncomfortable, not physically affectionate, unhappy, does not talk about feelings, hard to impress, analytical, likes esoteric things, tends to be pessimistic, not spontaneous, prone to discontentment, guarded, does not think they are weird but others do, responsible, can be insensitive or ambivalent to the misfortunes of others, orderly, clean, organized, familiar with darkside, tends not to value organized religion, suspicious of others, can be lonely, rarely shows anger, punctual, finisher, prepared

I get something different every time. This time I took it and got this, it's not even close. I am most certainly not prepared or punctual. nor am I callous or hard to impress.

Meli24R · 10-09-2009, 10:16 AM

TheDaffodil · 10-09-2009, 12:53 PM

I did this on other sites a long time ago. I still have my results because I put them in a note on Facebook haha:

"The first site: www.humanmetrics.com - go to the Jung Typology Test.
The second site: www.personalitytype.com - enter your code (mine was INFJ) and you'll get something like this:

You Are an INFJ (Introvert, iNtuitive, Feeler, Judger)

INFJs represent between 1 and 3% of the U.S. Population

INFJs inhabit a world of ideas. They are independent, original thinkers driven by their strong feelings, and personal integrity. Sensitive, committed, hardworking, and perceptive, INFJs are often excellent listeners, skilled at generating enlightened and creative solutions to people’s problems. Thoughtful and careful decision makers, INFJs prefer to have plenty of time to let ideas “percolate” before taking action. Because they value harmony and agreement, INFJs like to persuade others of the validity of their viewpoint. They win the cooperation of others by using approval and praise, rather than argument or intimidation.

INFJs go to great lengths to promote fellowship and avoid conflict. They are also often perfectionists highly focused, and driven to accomplish their goals. Rather formal and reserved, INFJs can be difficult to read, but it is critically important to them that their values, needs and concerns be understood and respected."

Sierra83 · 10-09-2009, 01:01 PM

INFP, through and through. So is my boyfriend. It makes for a very nice, harmonious relationship. I have bipolar disorder and I took the test and got ENFP once when I was manic.

namastecadet · 10-09-2009, 01:34 PM

INTP - "Architect". Greatest precision in thought and language. Can readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. The world exists primarily to be understood. 3.3% of total population.
