So one of my friends took a personality test but it wasn't an MBTI and she said it was very accurate of her and I wanted to know what her MBTI type is but I'm having trouble figuring it out. All I know is that she is an introvert and a thinker,which I already knew. These are the results,what would you type her as from this?

People generally perceive you as distant and reserved, and you do not usually reach out to others. You tend to feel overwhelmed by, and therefore actively avoid, large crowds. You often need privacy and time for yourself. You tend not to talk much and prefer to let others control the activities of groups. You lead a leisurely and relaxed life. You would prefer to sit back and smell the roses than indulge in high energy activities. You enjoy some excitment and risk taking in your life. You are not prone to spells of energetic high spirits. You are a moderately imaginative person who enjoys a good balance between the real world and fantasy. You are reasonably interested in the arts but are not totally absorbed by them. You tend not to express your emotions openly and are sometimes not even aware of your own feelings. You prefer familiar routines and for things to stay the same. You can tend to feel uncomfortable with change. You enjoy a certain amount of debate or intellectual thought, but sometimes get bored with too much. Often you exhibit a readiness to challenge authority, convention, and traditional values. Sometimes you feel a certain degree of hostility toward rules and perhaps even enjoy ambiguity.
You generally see others as selfish, devious, and sometimes potentially dangerous. You believe that a certain amount of deception in social relationships is necessary. You are guarded in new relationships and less willing to openly reveal the whole truth about yourself. You will help others if they are in need. If people ask for too much of your time you feel that they are imposing on you. You do not enjoy confrontation, but you will stand up for yourself or push your point if you feel it is important. You feel superior to those around you and sometimes tend to be seen as arrogant by other people. You are not affected strongly by human suffering, priding yourself on making objective judgments based on reason. You are more concerned with truth and impartial justice than with mercy.
You are moderately confident that you can achieve the goals you set yourself. You are a reasonably organized person and like to have a certain amount of routine in your life. Your sense of duty and obligation is average and although you are mostly responsible you can sometimes be unreliable. Mostly you work towards achieving your best, although in some areas you are content just to get the job done. You have a reasonable amount of will-power and are able to follow through on tasks that you feel you need to complete. You can be distracted however and have been known to procrastinate. You take your time when making decisions and will deliberate on all the possible consequences and alternatives.

Where did you get this description? The former part appears like the description of an ISTP (maybe INTP) the latter part sounds more like an INTJ.

Maybe an INTJ?

I think ASDF except more developed in the area of asrtgaert, or maybe a GHJK but without as much of a tendency to asdfgaetdh.

Don't forget ZXCV. They're not as rare as most would think. Not all of them have a tendency to stay at home reciting The Necronomicon in the buff. But they are as a rule quite energized by Cthulhu ftagn!

On a more serious note, people can do just about anything they set their minds to, even if it is mildly to extremely draining. Using Si, which focuses on memory, detailed recall, and exact data is quite draining for me, as I am ENFP, an Ne dom. But I could see myself reciting the entire Periodic Table of the Elements, starting with the very light hydrogen and moving down to the hefty synthetic ununoctium. [[~They still haven't found a dead scientist/place where "element #118" (how original) was discovered yet?! Boo. And too bad no one who lives in their mother's basement has discovered an element yet. I would love to see students having to remember the element Mb. That would make the most battle-hardened high school chemistry teacher try to suppress a guffaw. Though this would be rather torturous for a dyslexic person, having to memorize Momsbasementium AND Mendelevium (Md)! Eh, why not torture those with OCD as well? Almost every sciencey organization chooses lithium for their official logo, if they're fond of atoms. But what about the League of OCD Scientists and Engineers (LOSE)? They need a logo they can obsess about recreating. Nothing like all those electron shells in ununoctium to keep them busy. And busy. And busy. (This sequence goes on ad nauseum.)*~]]

Okay, that was a long tangent. Not as serious as I promised, sorry. But there's a reason it's here instead of in my journal of interesting, weird, and varied thoughts/mental diarrhea. If you are familiar with how Si works, you can see quite a lot of it. I recalled a lot of exact data, like the names of lots of elements, how heavy they are, memories about sciencey logos, etc. But what I was doing there was using it to make more abstractions with my Ne. I keep going and making more Ne abstractions. Abstraction A pulls out some more Si exact data about Te logical systems, which I use to make Abstraction B, and so on. If you could see me typing it, you could see the energy in my eyes when I get another periodic table-related idea. This is how you can tell which type your friend is. This is because the dominant function powers all the other conscious and unconscious functions in the psyche. Everything about a person will be "flavored" with the dominant function. It's what the psyche wants to go back to again and again, because it produces the most energy. Thus you can see that my display of Si and Te is strongly colored by my higher functions of Ne and Fi.

People can pull off amazing feats using their lower functions. Oftentimes these feats can be more skillful than feats made by people who are energized by those functions, because people naturally want to master their weaknesses, and showing that inferior function who's boss is extremely gratifying.

What I'm saying is your friend might not be an introvert or a thinker. It seems quite likely that one or both of these are the case, but the friend may have gotten used to exhibiting introverted and thinking-associated behaviors, and hence mistyped themselves. It happens all the time, and it can even happen to people who are otherwise self aware. What I'm not saying is that the assessment is wrong. It could be a very good description of what gives your friend energy. Or it could just be saying that the friend has gotten used to being very cool and logical, as well as quiet and composed. (I got used to exhibiting similar behaviors myself.) Even if self assessment questionnaires don't uncover the exact truth, either way this is valuable data regarding what the friend thinks she is. But it's not the best way to read her, as it looks like you know, because you are asking this question.

People get momentum when they use their dominant function. This is why the feelers in this thread have bigger smiles that go up into or just below the eyes. Any feeler can have a smile like those, if they are not suppressing their feeling function. (Which is discernible by the muted energy they give off - an equivalent thinker would look more confident and relaxed neutralizing their expression.) That thread as well as this one is just an introduction to the people-reading method that myself and many others on the forum use. Pod'Lair is a method of reading people's energy levels from using their conscious functions, all of which can be picked up through body language. Pod'Lair won't read anyone who doesn't want to be read, but if she (or yourself) is interested, she can make a video or just send us a picture and we can read her. You can learn how to read people too!

You might want to look at those threads and notice if you're picking up on a stable pattern. Think back on the people you know. They probably exhibit some of the body language behaviors that are mentioned. Some might be somewhat different from you, which you may have already noticed. If you have any questions regarding these patterns, Adymus, Nyxyia, myself, and several others on this forum can answer them. :)

* Not to make light of anyone with dyslexia or OCD. I know and love people who have these conditions as well. It's good fun. ;)

How many years do you think until pod'lair take over Jehovah's witness in door-to-door evangelism? ;) (thread-to-thread evangelism?)

Joking, I find the pod'lair comments interesting, otherwise I wouldn't comment.

Niceamis. What the ENFP! If you wanna be that way. Ah is an INTP or else!

I take my higher two functions for granted. There is the most to gain by looking at the lower two. Agreed.

It seems quite likely that one or both of these are the case, but the friend may have gotten used to exhibiting introverted and thinking-associated behaviors, and hence mistyped themselves. It happens all the time, and it can even happen to people who are otherwise self aware. What I'm not saying is that the assessment is wrong.

Um. It helps to know what one is at ease with. One can hold their breath dwelling on lower functions only for so long, but you knew that.

People get momentum when they use their dominant function. This is why the feelers in this thread have bigger smiles that go up into or just below the eyes. Any feeler can have a smile like those, if they are not suppressing their feeling function.

Pod'Lair is a method of reading people's energy levels from using their conscious functions, all of which can be picked up through body language.
So this "Pod'Lair" is sensual and sensual stuff is immediate. Little effort to make a judgment? Is that why it is favored by Pod'Lairists? What's the theory behind it? By that I mean, was a lot of data on reading people collected and sensual descriptions settled on?
Pod'Lair won't read anyone who doesn't want to be read, but if she (or yourself) is interested, she can make a video or just send us a picture and we can read her. You can learn how to read people too!
I don't have a camera, but I have a photo. How many do you need?

Once the Magic Underwear fund is up and running. Can't leave home without the skivvies, after all. :p Mormon Jesus Mormon Jesus, as pictured above (and his drinking buddy Watchtower Jesus) can't have all the fun!

I would say yes and no on the effort part. It does take effort to distinguish similar Mojos (roughly corresponds to "type") from each other. Once one has tons of practice and a high accuracy level, said person can easily ascertain what Mojo that person is. But at the same time, there are vastly different playstyles any given Mojo could "play" as. For instance, there are Zai'nyy (roughly corresponds to INTP) who are not so articulate, nervous when speaking, etc due to poorly developed Xyy (Fe). There are some that can come off as a Directive (J) of some sort, as they have better developed lower functions, and are good at using them. You have ones that are very good at being in the moment with their Nyy (Ne), and some that are more locked in their introverted functions. You have academics, actors, bohemians, and much much more. Each of the Pod Powers/cog functions gives off a distinct signal that is unmistakably that function. When I disengage to my left, I get a look of concern in my eyes. Some people say it looks like squinting to read fine print, and some say it looks like I'm doing math. These are good observations, and they show the mechanical quality of Vai (Si) as opposed to Nai (Ni), which has a more far off, not on this planet anymore, dreamy look. (Also quite cunning, since it is more amorphous than Vai, which looks like you're doing something practical. Nai has a more "WTF are they doing? I can't tell what they're thinking!" quality to it. Anyone with Nai in their conscious will look like this when they are accessing their Subjective Perception. They can't switch to the concerned "3.14159265..." sort of look. Likewise with the other functions that are (roughly) located in the same areas of the brain.

Hmm, that may seem like a tangent, but it's not. The original point I was trying to make was that trained people readers can see what a person's individual playstyle is by looking at how often these distinctive signals pop up. Let's take the Zai and Vai heavy Zai'nyy for example. These ones will start improvising and cross-contextualizing logical patterns in the environment, perking up and widening the eyes. You will see an jump in energy, but then right after that you will see Vai clamp down on the Nyy. You might see the eyes go to the left or you might see the left head tilt. They will start structuring the thoughts, because as you can tell from that earlier mass of purple text in the previous post, Nyy can sound pretty damn unstructured as it comes out. The Zai and Vai heavy model will almost automatically attempt a clamp-down, and this will zap some of their energy. (There are much more skillful ways for a Zai'nyy to structure their thoughts, of course.)

So it takes little effort for trained people to know another person's Mojo. But there is so much else to see. How is this person's playstyle affecting them? How is the environment affecting them? Are they different in another situation? Etc.

So basically reading a person is only the first step in understanding someone, if you desire to get to know that person better. Pod'Lairists use physical cues because they cannot be faked. That way you don't have to deal with the problems of people not knowing themselves well, being well-developed, adapting to the demands of their job, etc. That is all very interesting secondary information.

As many as you are comfortable sending us. (You don't have to send ones you would rather not have us see. You can keep your bad hair day a secret. ;)) One would be enough, but the more pictures you send, the better.

Cool beans. (Who came up with that meme? It's rather dumb when you think of it. Generally people prefer to eat their legumes warm (just like the physical process that often happens when people consume them!?). So why "cool beans?" Cool beans would actually not be very awesome for most people.)

:) Very,very interesting! Her smile is,in general,more like the Thinkers. Her eyes look more expressionless and calm than the Feelers in the thread.
The Pod'Lair thing,being able to type people through body language is really interesting. I don't have a camera that takes video but I have pictures of me and her if both of us could be typed.
