The theoretical background is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, originally developed by a mother and daughter team - reportedly in order to help other women find jobs that best suited after WWII - based on the work and ideas of Carl Jung , Freud's former pupil, and at least from where I'm sitting far more interesting than his mentor, even if much less well known.

To those that are mentioning things about how the results could change over time, I am one to believe that personalities ebb and flow. Personally I have taken this test numerous times and I bounce back and fourth between INFP and ENFP. THe NFP seem to be standard but my level of vertedness really depends on my mood and the current situation (energy flow, group of people, time of year, temperature etc.). And my consistent NFP results show, at the very least, validity within my sphere.
One can call this hokey or whatever, but the research has been used and documented to improve workplace environments. Employers have used personality tests to evaluate their employees. Often times it is found that if offices switch personnel around a bit, based on personality types that work better with each other, that workplace moral and output increased drastically. |

@Slade, I agree, we are in part products of our environment and can change over time. Much can indeed be gained by considering personalities, in the workplace and elsewhere. But...
My problem with tests like these is that they don't tell me all that much. I would argue that, say, if a certain profession gives me certain personality traits then those traits don't really define who I am.
For these tests to be really meaningful to me I'd have to change career and lifestyle several times and find the MBTI traits that remain constant. That's who I really am, the rest being just adaptations to my current situation.
Just my opinion though, as an ISTP topics like this isnt my strong suit (I like things that can be quantified and processed with logic. Psychology defies all reason). Get me a job as an accountant or doctor or whatever and give me a holler in a couple of years. Maybe I'll have the necessary traits to process this by then. Truly, you have a dizzying intellect. |

If you are really serious about it, Eurydia, go here , after reading off the APA-¦s website exhaustive info on testing, you will be better informed and avoid going into these "FeelGood" websites that usually RESELL behavioral testing procedures (in the best of cases), and sometimes just try to skim you for money with statistically pre-set "Personalized profiles" of utter rubbish, non certified "results" (in the worst of cases)
I find most of these sites inane, but some of them are in my opinion borderline criminal, and though I harbor no ill will to this or any particular site discussed at the moment, I feel I-¦m morally obliged to just waltz in a bit.
I-¦m wary of many things, and if you are serious as you imply in finding out more about this topic, you should be too.
My only bit of "professional" advice which I hope is taken for what it is, honest and well intentioned advice.
Cheers!

Well wha really got me is when I looked up my particular result a little further. And it was so accurate in how I make decisions and react to things and how I feel others around me perceive my behaviors. All the things I struggle with and get frustrated with myself over. So yeah. I'm definitely interested in knowing more.

Personality: INFJ Variant: Turbulent Role: Diplomat My numbers seem fairly high compared to the other screenies, not sure what to make of that. Overall I'd agree with the results. Although as per earlier comments some traits seem to shift about depending on what I'm doing/mood. They cover that slightly on the site.
I found this particularly interesting (from the career info for INFJ).
Quote:INFJs dislike routine tasks, strictly impersonal work, or analysing small details. They are also very vulnerable to conflict and criticism. These traits mean that INFJs should avoid careers that typically focus on data rather than people or are prone to pressure and conflict, e.g., finance, audit, programming, data analysis, etc. On the other hand, people with this personality type are very insightful and creative; they tend to be excellent architects, musicians, artists, photographers, designers, etc. The best INFJ career paths revolve around these traits. Regardless of the career path, INFJs always need to feel that their contribution is meaningful. They need something more than just money or recognition. The reason that section resounds is that after a decade in Finance I was made redundant and it was a real struggle trying to decide upon a new direction. The only thing I was clear on was that the work (whilst engaging, or distracting in some ways) did not feel meaningful, and no amount of money would ever take that sensation away. Having said that I've taken these tests before, so it's possible they just reinforce things you might want to believe. There's also something to be said for having a mixture of personality types within teams where similar work is performed, so I'm not sure telling people what career paths to avoid is appropriate. Those unhappy with their career might seize on it to justify a change, but a tarot card reader has as much chance as a personality test of predicting whether the change will be successful or not.
Considering INFJ is only supposed to be 1% of the pop, funny that there are two others of the same type here - or maybe not. It'd be interesting to see how the playerbase more generally fit into these types.
One thing that surprised me was this
Quote:In fact, certain Introverted types (e.g. INFJ or INFP) are often more sociable than most Extraverted types. In Western societies, Extraverted individuals outnumber Introverted ones by a large margin and consequently most people believe that everyone should strive to be outgoing, confident, have a large circle of friends etc. I've always found it a contradiction to be an obvious introvert who prefers a small group of friends, whilst being unphased by interracting generally - but I assumed it was life experience overriding natural inclination. It's intriguing stuff anyway, might have a read of the other personality types. DON'T BE RIDICULOUS! |

YOUR PERSONALITY TYPE IS: ENFP
What do you mean "life is boring"? Are we living on the same planet?
MIND - Introverted - 9%
ENERGY - Intuitive 44%
NATURE - Feeling 20%
TACTICS - Prospecting 33%
IDENTITY - Assertive 29%
PERSONALITY: ENFP / VARIANT: ASSERTIVE
ROLE: DIPLOMAT
You are one of the Diplomats - an empathic and idealistic individual who enjoys exploring interesting ideas and prizes morality. You are known for your enthusiasm, optimism and intuitive skills.
ENFP PERSONALITY
It doesnGÇÖt interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for GÇô and if you dare to dream of meeting your heartGÇÖs longing. It doesnGÇÖt interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool GÇô for love GÇô for your dreams GÇô for the adventure of being alive. Oriah Mountain Dreamer The ENFP personality is a true free spirit. They are often the life of the party, but unlike Explorers, ENFPs are less interested in the sheer excitement and pleasure of the moment than they are in enjoying the social and emotional connections they make with others. Charming, independent, energetic and compassionate, the 7% of the population that ENFPs comprise can certainly be felt in any crowd. |

There are some a few things in the type overview that aren't really what I'd describe myself as, but the majority of the items in it fit me to a T. Very interesting test. |

i've not done the one linked, but i have done other ones over the last couple of years, most recently last month, i always get INTJ.
and when i describe the INTJ traits to people who know me well, they agree that it's accurate.

I have bounced between INFP and ENFP over the last 20 years. I actually am starting to believe that while on the job I am straight up ENFP but once I leave the confines of work I flow back towards an INFP state.
I have taken this numerous times as my parents were really into personality traits and spiritual direction and my undergraduate program director wholeheartedly believed in the validity of them and used the full version of this in a longitudinal study on personality types and the Athletic Training profession. I can not remember what she was finding exactly, but she was well into the study and was saying that early statistics showed a strong correlation within individuals that chose AT as a professional direction.

ENTJ here.
Actually, it isn't difficult at all to get this score. If you have a job were you have at least a minor leadership role and at least a minimum of responsibilities, every sane work decision (like, sticking to established standards in standard situations and only deviate from them in non-standard situations-- d'oh) will make the Myer Briggs Test think you are ENTJ and thus a natural born leader blah blah blah.
There are much more meaningful tests to describe your personality - for example How long would you survive after kicking a bear in the balls..
It's 31 seconds for me, by the way
I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.
