Meyers-briggs. Personality Types.

Recommended Posts

[i]Way back in 2002, I registered as an INFP. This was when I was still struggling with depression and anxiety so I don't think it was my true personality indicator -- simply a product of the trauma I was experiencing. I took it again a few years ago and I am an ISFJ. That's what I continue to register at. I'm very much a guardian type. :)[/i]

INFJ
but the I was just a slight preference for introversion over extraversion (22%).
I think it pretty much describes me, I can be happy by myself or in a group.

I am an ESTJ. 67% extraversion over introversion, a moderate sense of sensing over intuition, a marginal or no preference of thinking over feeling, and a moderate preference of judging over perceiving, which I think the last one is bogus. I'm not sure if I answered the questions right or not, to be honest. I don't even remember questions about judging or perceiving.

ESFJ.

I missed being an ENFJ by one point.

Whatever it is, sensing will definitely be dominant over thinking. :hehe:

I'll tally these up in a day or two if you'd like. So far the Introverts are way ahead of the extroverts, same with the Judgers over the perceptors :D

Only have a few mins and then I hav to get off....

But....

Little professional disclaimer here.... I'm a counselor, and do mostly career and bereavement stuff. Career counselors use the MBTI stuff a LOT and it really is pretty together IF you use a reliable 'instrument'. The on-line free ones are only sort-of reliable.... because what you get out of those is really just a snapshot... a starting point.

If you get the paid assessment, the counselor is REQUIRED to go over the results with you before the results are released to you. Not just because of a control thing or for $$$ (although i am sure it looks that way sometimes!) but because

1) sometimes people don't answer the questions honestly but go into it with an agenda (deliberate or otherwise) and skew the results (make them come out something other than what they would have been;

2) if someone has had a lot of stuff going on in their lives, other stuff may be going on that give one a false result (see what I say about when I am stressed, below)

3) sometimes people don't understand the questions, and if you answer them wrong, you'll get a wrong result.

4) a whole lot of other things that make it a good idea to get an impartial opinion from someone who can make some reasonably good guests about what is a likely type for you. A GOOD counselor will ask a bunch of follow-up stuff to be sure that you are getting the right info, and explain how the result do apply to you... and you might be surprised what comes up!

Oh... an INFP here.... (most counselors are INFP/INFJs) and when i am stressed, my results do show MORE I and MORE P (but that just means that I move further and further into my own turf if I am cornered.... and take more and more time to try to figure stuff out and check out all my options if I am confused or upset.... which just makes sense. EVERYONE goes to their strongest area when stressed ... and an INFP that is intuition...

Almost everyone has at least one area where they are closer to the center of the divide... I/E or S/N or T/F or J/P.

There ARE no bad preferences -- and that is ALL they are... preferences! It's like writing with a right or left hand--one is the thing you do instinctively... but most of us can at least make a stab with the other....
