Social Anxiety Support

Ooo, pet interest of mine. I'm an INTJ. We're supposed to be very self-confident... I fail pretty spectacularly on that front but mostly everything else is accurate. Less than 1% of the female population, which is probably why I feel so out of place all the time.

I already took the Myers-Briggs test in college. Full INTP here. We make up 1% of the population and yet most of the people on this forum is one. hmmm...

I'm suprised at the results here! Lots of the other INxx types as I expected, but very few INFPs - that's the biggest suprise for me, given that it's such a classically 'shy' personality. Introverted, sensitive, constant daydreaming, imaginary friends during childhood, low-self esteem etc.

BlueBamboo - I love this stuff too. Do you know about the other personality tests?

There's the Enneagram, which has 9 distinct personality types, and the 5 factor test, which measures the varying degrees of various personality traits (such as introversion, agreeability etc) rather than just assigning you a type. If anybody's interested, there's loads on here.

Once again, thanks to everybody for voting!

Took that as well. I'm 5w4/4w5. And to edit that post I'm actually INT/FP. I oddly have all the traits of both.

Your Crazy · 10-11-2009, 01:53 PM

LOL. I just noticed that every single extroverted type on the poll is at zero.

OMG!

I'm a 4w5! INFP! What are the chances eh? Btw, if you're 50-50 on a trait you can be - for example - an INxP. x represents a lack of preference in either area.

Feeling (F) 61.11% Thinking (T) 38.89%
Perceiving (P) 62.16% Judging (J) 37.84%

INFP - "Questor". High capacity for caring. Emotional face to the world. High sense of honor derived from internal values. 4.4% of total population.

quietriverrunsdeep · 10-11-2009, 05:22 PM

I'm an INFJ. I've read the description for it and it's scary accurate. I like it that I'm different from the norm (very few people are INFJ's) but it also makes me feel kind of lonely. It does explain why I feel so different from everyone else though...

Cerberus · 10-11-2009, 07:58 PM

introversion is not the same as shyness or social anxiety. The test doesn't really take this into consideration, so the poll will be skewed. I bet there are more extroverts on this forum than there appears to be.

steelmyhead · 10-11-2009, 08:13 PM

I used to be INTJ, but I've tested INFJ two times now. So it seems I've gone from useful tool, to wuss.

Melinda · 10-12-2009, 01:36 AM

Another INTJ here

"does not think they are weird, but others do" (I am fully aware of my weirdness, thank you!)

Chrysalii · 10-12-2009, 06:21 AM

Introverted (I) 87.1% Extroverted (E) 12.9%
Intuitive (N) 67.65% Sensing (S) 32.35%
Thinking (T) 69.7% Feeling (F) 30.3%
Perceiving (P) 72.41% Judging (J) 27.59%

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.

and Enneagram 5, for those interested.

Not every introvert has social anxiety but 99.9% of the people with SA are introverts. The poll shows this. But I have seen extrovert people with severe stage fright, I am also surprised that there is not one extrovert here.

This personality test is not made to measure shyness or to test SA, also they don't say that if you are an introvert, then you must have social anxiety.

AudreyHepburn · 10-12-2009, 10:38 AM

"Mastermind". Introverted intellectual with a preference for finding certainty. A builder of systems and the applier of theoretical models. 2.1% of total population.
