[Cabbo Pearimo]

How I, N, T, and P are you?

[tom]

i forget...it was definatly 100 for I and the others were in the 60's

 

[zxc]

Roughly - extremely introverted (~90%), extremely intuitive (~100%), moderately thinking, moderately perceiving

 

[Dissident]

Introverted (I) 100%Extraverted (E) 0%
Intuitive (N) 77%Sensing (S) 23%
Thinking (T) 95%Feeling (F) 5%
Perceiving (P) 91%Judging (J) 9%

100% Introvert... im messed up.

 

[murkrow]

Wow, you are VERY INTP diss.

That's wild.

 

[Ogion]

Your personality type is INTP.
Introverted (I) 93% Extraverted (E) 7%
Intuitive (N) 82% Sensing (S) 18%
Thinking (T) 95% Feeling (F) 5%
Perceiving (P) 86% Judging (J) 14%

Hmm, i didn't expect that strong an outcome, but then again, the questions were quite easy to guess their intent.

[Dissident]

I did once a test with percents, but i didnt get such extreme results, either the test is not so good, or i unconsciously cheated (there is no way someone can be 100% anything)

 

[murkrow]

this test put me as ENTP by the way.

but I have a very close P and J in all my tests.

Your personality type is ENTP.
Extraverted (E) 75% Introverted (I) 25%
Intuitive (N) 82% Sensing (S) 18%
Thinking (T) 100% Feeling (F) 0%
Perceiving (P) 55% Judging (J) 45%

so looks like I'm only 26% away from being an INTP haha

 

[Mischz]

It seems I am quite balanced on the T-F axis.

Introverted (I) 61% Extraverted (E) 39%
Intuitive (N) 73% Sensing (S) 27%
Thinking (T) 55% Feeling (F) 45%
Perceiving (P) 64% Judging (J) 36%

 

[murkrow]

That doesn't surprise me at all from your posts thus far. You're the first person I've seen with a close T/F though.

 

[Kuu]

Introverted (I) 96% Extraverted (E) 4%
Intuitive (N) 73% Sensing (S) 27%
Thinking (T) 80% Feeling (F) 20%
Perceiving (P) 73% Judging (J) 27%

Very INTP... but to tell the truth that was the worst mbti type test I've ever taken...

 

[Oziriz]

Introverted (I) 93%Extraverted (E) 7%
Intuitive (N) 55% Sensing (S) 45%
Thinking (T) 80% Feeling (F) 20%
Perceiving (P) 86% Judging (J) 14%

Interesting on the N and S, first time I took an MBTI test I scored ISTP but when I read about the different personality types I immediately saw that INTP was me, although I do have a lot of the ISTP traits as well, and possibly lack some typical INTP traits...

Introverted (I) 100%

Thinking (T) 80%
Perceiving (P) 91%

 

[EditorOne]

I 78
N 100
T 88
P 11

I think P erodes towards J if you spend a lot of time in a manager job like I've been for the past decade.... P was a lot higher back when I was actively being a reporter and needing to be dispassionate in approaching situations I'd be covering. Kind of a variation on nature vs nurture. Now that I have to make decisions all day long, my perceptive tendency to just think "isn't that interesting?" isn't going to get me there, so I've got to render some kind of judgement to get into action.

Isn't THAT interesting? :-)

 

[Dissident]

You sound like you are apologizing

Intuitive (N) 73%Sensing (S) 27%
Thinking (T) 60%Feeling (F) 40%

I always seem to get 60-40 on the T/F axis.

 

[EditorOne]

You sound like you are apologizing

Yeah, I doobedoobedoo, but actually it's just me explaining myself to me. The rest of you are a figment of my brain, dreamed up to bring order into the life of a creature of pure thought. :-)

 

[Ermine]

Introverted (I) 93% Extraverted (E) 7%
Intuitive (N) 77% Sensing (S) 23%
Thinking (T) 95% Feeling (F) 5%
Perceiving (P) 77% Judging (J) 23%

INTP through and through as usual.

 

[Fleur]

Introverted (I) 79% Extraverted (E) 21%
Intuitive (N) 77% Sensing (S) 23%
Thinking (T) 85% Feeling (F) 15%
Perceiving (P) 68% Judging (J) 32%

 

[zxc]

Okay, this particular test, I got:

Your personality type is INTP.
Introverted (I) 93% Extraverted (E) 7%
Intuitive (N) 86% Sensing (S) 14%
Thinking (T) 90% Feeling (F) 10%
Perceiving (P) 73% Judging (J) 27%

Usually get higher intuitive, and lower thinking.

 

[Cabbo Pearimo]

This test IS rough and open to influence, but generally agrees with the major ones.

 

[motrhead]

Hmmm, this test doesn't agree with my usual results.

Your personality type is INFP.
Introverted (I) 93%Extraverted (E) 7%Intuitive (N) 73%Sensing (S) 27%Feeling (F) 75%Thinking (T) 25%Perceiving (P) 91%Judging (J) 9%


Usually I will score more like:

Introverted (I) 95%Extraverted (E) 5%Intuitive (N) 84%Sensing (S) 16%Thinking (T) 63% Feeling (37)%Perceiving (P) 84%Judging (J) 16%

(from another recent test)

I know I'm closer to the middle between T and P than most, but I tend to stay on the thinking side. I am a thinker, but most people I know still consider me a "sensitive" guy. I'm definitely rational and logical, but have the empathy and compassion component as well.
Is this unusual? Maybe this is part of my indecisiveness problem...

 

[Atoz]

Introverted (I) 82% Extraverted (E) 18%
Intuitive (N) 55% Sensing (S) 45%
Thinking (T) 80% Feeling (F) 20%
Perceiving (P) 82% Judging (J) 18%

I'm new here, by the way.

 

[tesseracter]

Atoz, I *love* your signature!! As you can see, my signature shows the percentages, which I think are pretty accurate. My most recent role and job require me to be aware of people and how they are feeling, which is why T and F are close. I also think my P and J are close because my adult brain insists that it's immature to be spontaneous.

 

[Decaf]

One of the first things we cover when studying the ethical use of the MBTI is that the scores you get in no way represent how extreme, or how much skill you have in any area. What it indicates is how CERTAIN you are that that is your letter. Even people who score 100% in favor of one type might be the other depending on the mood, upbringing, stress level, etc of the person during testing.

Of the tests that have been scientifically validated, only the MBTI Step III gives actual values to each tested trait, but it has to be administered by a certified level C professional in a face to face meeting. A lot like taking an ink blot test.

Most internet tests, while still useful for sorting, tend to average an accuracy of 60% under the best circumstances in getting all 4 letters right. You can see why counting on the specific values is somewhat irrelevent. But people like numbers. Hell, I do. Just be certain you know the numbers you're using mean something.

 

[Radioactive_Springtime]

introverted: 22%
Intuitive: 88%
Thinking: 25%
Percieving: 67%

Though I'm not exactly in the best state of minds

 

[Chaotic Harmony]

My thinking and Feeling always come out really close... but for both INTP and INFP, thinking/feeling is the dominant function isn't it? is that wierd?

[Loraella]

Not really surprised by my result.


I often get a rather balanced result for the T/F.
But this kind of questions in quizzes tends to bother me [the T vs. F questions.] The things about being willing to help other people and to consider their needs... Some questions make it sound like: selfishness or lack of consideration are aspects that add points for T, I really don't like that... I believe that considerate behaviour towards other people should be a normal and right thing for anyone, regardless of the T/F preference... And being a logical person does not go against being a sensitive person as well imo. And I'm not expressing myself as well as I would want here but I'm already so tired in this evening >_<

^ Hey, everybody! Look what Decaf said! ^

 

[fullerene]

haha I'm glad you've been doing this quite a bit. I feel bad for him... lol he's explained different pieces of MBTI so many times, but the forum puts out so many posts that nobody comes across them while skimming. We should just make a sticky post compilation of everything Decaf has said about MBTI and the common misunderstandings people tend to have about it.

Sounds like me, although I don't know exactly how 0% sensing works? :O scary.....


I just answered what was closest to the truth. But yeah, im definitely introverted, and I don't think I rely on senses... But obviously I do sometimes o.o

 

[Decaf]

Maybe I should post a FAQ?

 

[Gorgrim]

If you have the time, I'm sure it would be nice and helpful

 

[Thread Killer]

I am a level 50 INTP.

Oh, that wasn't the question, was it?

lol..my interpersonal skill didn't even make to the list..

i am less introverted than most of you...
for me is like this - i'm very talkative and can say too much and when i become aware what i'm saying i close and don't open again for a while... so at the end i always prefer to be on my own with my thoughts

 

[FusionKnight]

Did nobody on this page read Jesin's post?

 

[fullerene]

lol if anyone ever read Decaf's posts, Jesin wouldn't have even had to copy that one.

for a type that stereotypically cares about theory and what something really "is," nobody really listens to MBTI theory much at all.

Do you think INTPs are just really prone to shut out information as soon as they think they actually understand something? I saw this in some type description... but I was skeptical because I thought INTJs would be more prone to that. I wonder if INTPs clamp down onto what they think they know until they get very strong evidence the other way? With something like MBTI, ince there's no easy, objective "test" where someone can say "Although my introversion % is lower, I talk quite a bit more than you.... so maybe I don't understand it," which would lead them to seek out the explanations that Decaf kept giving... I wonder if they ignore the extra information because there's no "visible" (to them) reason to think it's any other way.

mmm... I wonder if the healthiest INTP is the one who doesn't think they know anything.

 

[shaunjvallejo]

sig says it all.

 

[Auburn]

I must point out that those signatures are very misleading. It completely feeds the misconception that the development of one function or another is like a bar graph. Any civilian who looks at the sig for the first time will immediately think that the higher the bar, the more that function is developed. In reality what it really means to say is; the higher the bar = the more likely it is that that function is performed over the other, but that is not at all the impression that is given off.

Was this edited? I came back after viewing it the first time and it seems there was less here.

Looking at my test, it seemed to express fairly accurately where my comfort zones are. For example, a large part of my time is spent in extroverted activities(Sales), but it is very draining.....I prefer to spend most of my time with my own thoughts.

I didn't expect it to be very accurate, with such a limited number of questions.

I don't suppose you have any statistics from other takers of the test how the bars relate to the development of those catagories?

 

[Auburn]

Well, the percent bars of the MBTI do not relate to the development of those categories themselves - but to some cognitive function underneath it. The MBTI four letter code is just a 'plaque' to be able to identify the actual cognitive functions underneath. The development of those cognitive functions is what really matters - which the MBTI doesn't tell you.

"The test" is a loose term. If you want to look at experimental data from the original validity tests you're talking about the MBTI Form M. Internet tests are not Form M. Most copy the questions (which is plagiarism, but the Myers-Briggs Institute hasn't traditionally sought any damages on that count) though not the individual question weights, and many others are new but completely untested. Since it is the only type theory test I'm aware of with any compelling experimental evidence supporting it, lets look at the official MBTI.

If you don't want to dig through research papers I would suggest skimming this. Many of the statistically significant factors are referenced in the 3rd edition MBTI Manual, which is an excellent place to start for a thorough look at the theory and its history.

One concept that comes up repeatedly reading through the manual was that one of the most difficult parts of writing the indicator was that this is a type model rather than a trait model. That means that for validity you must write it such that the results can not be modeled by a Gaussian. If the results fit a Gaussian it means the bulk of test takers would end up at the middle and assigning them a type would be meaningless. The best possible result would be a Gaussian halfway through each side of the scale. To achieve that end very similar questions are asked dealing with the same subject matter. The test taker's preference ideally comes through by answering that question significantly more times in one direction than the other.

The weakness of the instrument (though administrators of the MBTI rarely think of it as such) is that beyond classifying the individual into a generalized group, the test does nothing. Everything else is dependent on the untested factors, such as environment of upbringing, life choices and educational exposure.

All that to say, the indicator was never written to determine the degree of maturity or function development in an individual. I have doubts that such a test could be accomplished with multiple choice, much less a forced choice format. Hopefully it will put you on a path to better self knowledge, but it claims no other purpose.

Thanks Decaf, that actually cleared up some questions I had.

 

[Reverse Transcriptase]

Hey guys! I just slew an ESFJ and rescued an INFP damsel! That gave me 1,432 experience points!

Which means I just leveled up to a lvl 4 INTP!

I have 5 points to spend, how should I spend them?
Ti: 11 (1 point = 1 skill point)
Ne: 3 (1 point = 1 skill point)
Si: 0 (2 points = 1 skill point)
Fe: 3 (2 points = 1 skill point)

Subconscious:
Te: 0 (4 points = 1 skill point)
Ni: 0 (4 points = 1 skill point)
Se: 0 (4 points = 1 skill point)
Fi: 0 (4 points = 1 skill point)

If I get Ti to 12skillpoints then I can wear my "tinfoil hat"!
