MBTI Trainer Test with Real-Time Scoring

[OrionzRevenge]

http://mbti9000.tripod.com/ark-mbti/mbti-test9000.htm

The concept here was to shove a seemingly psychometrically valid MBTI test into a friendly/fun GUI (me not like scrolling though pages of tedious radio buttons) and provide instant scoring feedback for each question. In this way the attitudes and behaviors that tend towards the poles of the four various dichotomies IE, NS, TF, and PJ can be graphically illustrated and the typology neophyte can gain insight as to the special MBTI definitions for IENSTFPJ while learning how to type profile.

You'll need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser and the site is free, so there are banner ads.

The MBTI PDF profiles linked on the page are worth a look see... The INTP profile alone is 11 frigg'n pages.


Screen-Cap.




Points = degrees of angle from vertical.
the I/E Dichotomy has 10 questions and each is assigned 10 points/degrees per question.
The three others N/S T/F P/J each have 20 questions and are assigned 5 points/degrees per question.

....sorta suits my redneck upbringing to be able to 'Bury the Needle' 10 degrees if you score 100% .


At some point I'll have to add a post test score report option to make it valid for virgins to pop their meta cherries on, and a final quantitative report.


Here is a link to the full 134 page PDF file.

The Intro instructions, test, and score sheet only take up the first 5 pages... the rest are profiles.
It apparently is used by Dartmouth-Hopkins Medical Center during Intern intake/orientation.

well going by this I am an XNTP

 

[Pbuoy]

Yep IxxP
Small margin towards and intuition and thinking however.
It is very certain that I am introverted.
I try to balance my Sensing vs Intuition and Thinking vs Feeling.
I don't think I'm a true INTP anymore.
Maybe I'm just underdeveloped.
Maybe it's all a conspiracy D:!
Maybe I'm just insane.
Yeah that sounds about right all right.

 

[OrionzRevenge]

I edited the link in the OP to reflect my additions of an Intro Index page which will now branch to the trainer with Instant scoring or the Valid blind test.

EDIT: Oops, no I didn't edit it. Seems I'm already prohibited from doing so.


Maybe a MOD will help me out here.

 

[Pbuoy]

One problem I found with the MBTI is that the test results fluctuate based on my mood(I guess I'm biased).

My test results gravitate towards INTP, but I really don't accept that because not all the specifics of a typical INTP do not apply to me. I can understand how other people feel, but feel nothing myself.
Hell I think I might even be a xxxx.
Then again, I remember that somewhere I read that an INTP can mimic another personality with relative ease.

 

[echoplex]

It said I'm an INTJ.

 

[EyeSeeCold]

Remember that MBTI tests are based on your behavior / interaction with the world. It doesn't test how you think, your motivations or the processes your mind goes through. Your behavior can change, but your personality won't.

INTP for me, although none of the characteristics is above 80% or something.

I got INTP.

[LPolaright]

I find it actually quite intimidating... Seeing the arrow go to the wrong way, maybe it gives a bias after awhile? I'm not sure, but I doubt the Real-Time did anything to make it more accurate.

Anyone else feels like the arrows should go right instead of left? Just something I noticed that bothered me.

No, the Real-Time version is intended as a trainer as per a better understanding of MBTI. The Valid blind test (where the needles don't budge till the final tally) is the way to go if you want to use this as a psychometric tool.

The needles will move to the right... if you're a ESFJ. May the Gods forbid.

Maybe Left is the Anti-Right???

>> Left is not outgoing enough.

>> Left is impractical, unrealistic, and not conventional.

>> Left just doesn't feel Right.

>> Left lacks order or concrete finality.



I have added various other drills to the menu @ http://mbti9000.tripod.com/

[Hadoblado]

I found questions to do with P/J to be to open to interpretation. I scored dead center for it, but I would put my Pness as my strongest asset (no pun intended).

I must have overlooked/deleted the prior E-mail as spam.

You know you're getting somewhere when the Director of Legal Operations takes the time to send you 3 pages via locked PDF.

Re: Trademark Infringement at http://mbti9000.tripod.com/
CPP Ref. No.: CPP-778 MBTI 9000.Tripod

Dear Sir,
As you may remember, I am the Director of Legal Operations at CPP, Inc. (“CPP”). CPP is
the exclusive licensee of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®, MBTI® and Myers-Briggs®
trademarks and the exclusive publisher of the MBTI instrument. I am writing today to
follow up on my letter from February 24, 2011 regarding trademark misuse and brand
confusion on the website http://mbti9000.tripod.com/.

Again, CPP is not accusing you of any intentional wrongdoing, and I trust that you will be
willing to make the changes requested. As a personality type enthusiast, I hope you will see
the value in protecting the reputation of the MBTI instrument.

I would also like to alert you that by infringing on CPP’s trademarks, you are in violation of
the Lycos Terms of Service, http://info.lycos.com/tos.php. Lycos is the parent company of
Tripod, the site which hosts your webpages. The TOS lists the following as Prohibited
Conduct:
Upload, post, e-mail, otherwise transmit, or post links to any Content
that infringes any patent, trademark, service mark, trade secret, copyright
or other proprietary rights ("Rights") of any party, or contributing to
inducing or facilitating such infringement.

Although CPP hopes to work with you directly, if we do not hear from you about the issues
addressed in this letter by August 1st, 2011, CPP will contact Lycos to request removal of the
infringing material from your website.

The issues on your site relate to trademark misuse and brand confusion, a form of trademark
infringement. Affected pages include your homepage (http://mbti9000.tripod.com/) and
two other pages: http://mbti9000.tripod.com/mbti-test9000.htm and
http://mbti9000.tripod.com/mbti-test9000T.htm. These pages are listed for your
convenience; however, you are responsible for applying the requested changes to all relevant
webpages, whether listed or not.

Brand Confusion
As I described in my last letter, brand confusion is a specific kind of trademark infringement
which occurs when a brand name is used to label another product. I have included a new
FAQ sheet which I hope will help you understand the issue. If you have any questions,
please contact me for assistance.

CPP takes issue with the name “MBTI9000”, which is both your site’s name and the name
of a personality test on your website. Since this test is not the MBTI assessment, labeling it
with the MBTI trademark constitutes trademark infringement (brand confusion). It is also
inaccurate and misleading to your site’s visitors.

CPP must respectfully demand that you cease and desist with all potential brand confusion
between your quiz and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment tool. Eliminating brand
confusion will involve removing the MBTI, Myers-Briggs, and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
trademarks from much of your website. This includes, but is not limited to, trademarks used
in your website name, in descriptive texts, and in the headlines and links associated with
your personality type quizzes. Since the MBTI trademark is embedded in your Tripod
website name, you will need to work with Tripod to cancel or change the name MBTI9000
to remove the MBTI trademark.

As a suggestion, an efficient and accurate alternative to using the MBTI trademarks on your
website may be to use more generic terms, such as “personality type” and “personality type
test”. Naturally, you may use the trademarked names when referring to the actual MBTI
instrument or its development. Please contact me if you have any questions about this.
Trademark Guidelines

Once you have eliminated brand confusion from your website, please apply CPP’s
Trademark Guidelines https://www.cpp.com/Pdfs/Trademark_Guidelines.pdf to any pages
on your site which still include CPP’s trademarks. If you need assistance or clarification
about this, do not hesitate to contact me.
Conclusion

To summarize, this is a second legal notice from CPP demanding that you eliminate brand
confusion on your website, http://mbti9000.tripod.com. Specifically, CPP asks that you
remove the MBTI family of trademarks from your website name and from association with
the personality test currently called “MBTI9000”.
CPP hopes for your cooperation in this matter and is willing to work with you to resolve
these issues. However, if we do not hear from you by August 1st, 2011, CPP will contact
Lycos (Tripod) directly and request that your website be removed or blocked for violation of
CPP’s intellectual property rights.
Please contact me immediately with confirmation that you will abide by the requests
outlined in this letter. Again, feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you need
assistance with any of CPP’s requests. I may be reached at mam@cpp.com.

Sincerely,
Marie A. Murray

[Artsu Tharaz]

The CPP is basically helping to kill MBTI for good at this point. The term MBTI will refer strictly to what is included in their trademarked guides, and so any deviation from this will have to be put under a different label, even if the deviation is an improvement.

Interesting.

 

[Meer]

JCF?

 

[Artsu Tharaz]

JCF?

Does this imply that we have to frame everything in terms of how Jung explained it?

 

[A22]

Q: Are you more attracted to:
A: 1)Sensible people 2)Imaginative people
R: 1) Sensing+ 2)Intution+

wut? is that right?

I think your definition of 'Sensible' has something to do with 'intellect' and the test creators are thinking in terms of 'pragmatic/realistic' .

 

[TheHmmmm]

Does this imply that we have to frame everything in terms of how Jung explained it?

...Kinda, since the general descriptions of the types are based on cognitive functions rather than having each letter mean something independently (which is what this test does). Unless, of course, you wanna redefine all of the characteristics of the types.

~~~Legal Stuff~~~

^^^ I have pulled down the test in accordance with CPP's demands.
I never really thought about 'MBTI' being a registered trademark worthy of brand-name protection, but I see their point.

Since I put up the test at the first of October, the site averaged around 20 hits per day. Obviously naming the site/test "MBTI9000" was the attractant.

That's too bad, I liked the interactivity of your layout.

How much traffic did your application get again?

We went through this at TypologyCentral when we were still called MBTICentral. Haight, though, knew it would happen someday, and so he was prepared to make the changes once we had to.

EDIT: Oh, there it is:

20 hits a day. Gee. Wow.

Yeah, they're kind of bottom-feeding now.

 

[OrionzRevenge]

^^^ I was kinda surprised when Oedipus Posted results on 8/20 from the trainer.

I had removed what I thought was both the Test and Trainer prior to 8/1.

But I forgot that I had placed the trainer in a sub-folder. Named 'ARK'.

I have agreed to comply with the wishes of the trademark holder...and so I'll have to wall over that backdoor.

Sorry, and thanks for everyone's input.
