Personality Types -

[Niachu]

I'm pretty sure most people know of the 16 Personality Types. Like ENFJ, ISTJ, ESTJ, etc. For anyone that doesn't know, or for anyone who hasn't taken the test, you can take it here. Basically it's a test that assesses a personality type based on how introverted or extroverted you are, what you rely on (intuition, feeling, objective fact) and what you're good at (punctuality, working with your hands, scientific study).

I'm an INTJ. Even if I come off as nice and caring the truth is I am an unfeeling robot that only trusts hard logic (no not really, I'm pretty well mixed with INFP and some ISFP). I generally agree with this assessment because I'm a severe introvert and I want to go into the sciences. I want to serve humanity but in a way that doesn't require me to directly interact with it so much. I enjoy discussions with people that can keep up with me but I avoid small talk like the plague. I don't like complaining about my problems/feelings unless I seek insight from others. If I don't think it has a practical gain I don't do it. However, even if I put my stock in objective solutions I do understand the need to factor the human condition into the equation. I'm not a leader type but I'll take up the mantle if I think I can do the best job of it.

I'm aware the reliability isn't that high in that you can get different answers from a few weeks to the next, and that it's all pretty general, but there's consistency in the many times I've taken it and it's just a fun thing to do. Please don't go off on a tangent about how you think psychology is crap and how you think this assessment is totally vapid and pointless. I'm aware of the criticisms and will question what you have to gain in lecturing everyone before requesting you save it for Deep Thoughts.

So, how many here have taken it before? What did you get? If you take the test and don't fully agree, maybe you can find something you think suits you more.

High five Nia and somejerk, I'm INTJ too! Though sometimes I got INTP depending on the test.

 

[The Hunter]

Awful lot of INTJs here then? Not sure if I'd count because I'm only slightly F or something like that... it really sucks to be emotional.

 

[Organic Fapcup]

INTJ

From Wikipedia:

INFJs are conscientious and value-driven. They seek meaning in relationships, ideas, and events, with an eye toward better understanding of themselves and others. Using their intuitive skills, they develop a clear and confident vision, which they then set out to execute, aiming to better the lives of others. Like their INTJ counterparts, INFJs regard problems as opportunities to design and implement creative solutions.

Well then...

INFJs have been mistaken for extroverts, as they tend to possess multiple personalities due to their complex inner life; however, they are true introverts. INFJs are private individuals who prefer to exercise their influence behind the scenes. Though they are very independent, INFJs are intensely interested in the well-being of others. INFJs prefer one-on-one relationships to large groups. Sensitive and complex, they are adept at understanding complicated issues and driven to resolve differences in a cooperative and creative manner.

WELL THEN...

INFJs have a rich, vivid inner life that they may be reluctant to share with those around them. Nevertheless, they are congenial in their interactions and perceptive of the emotions of others. Generally well liked by their peers, they may often be considered close friends and confidants by most other types; however, they are guarded in expressing their own feelings, especially to new people, and tend to establish close relationships slowly. INFJs tend to be easily hurt, though they may not reveal it (except to their closest companions). INFJs may "silently withdraw as a way of setting limits" rather than expressing their wounded feelings—a behavior that may leave others confused and upset.

INFJs tend to be sensitive, quiet leaders with a great depth of personality. They are intricately, deeply woven, mysterious, highly complex, and often puzzling, even to themselves. They have an orderly view toward the world but are internally arranged in a complex way that only they can understand. Abstract in communicating, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. With a natural affinity for art, INFJs tend to be creative and easily inspired, yet they may also do well in the sciences, aided by their intuition.

Thank you, Wikipedia, for pretty much describing myself for me. Really, it's shocking how well that sums me up.

Welcome to the clu-OH MY GOD.

I guess I was right when I told myself visiting you would be the most awkward situation on the planet. I still wouldn't mind having a Sit-In-Separate-Rooms-and-Eat-Maccaroni-Silently party with you, though.
