What drew you to MBTI?

[sallyJones]

Hello all,

I was just curious, what motivated you to try MBTI or attracted you to the personality descriptions?

Did you actually take the test (which I heard is really expensive, hence I found a less expensive but reasonable quality one called Turbo MBTI here: link)?

Or did you take the free one online such as those at humanmetrics.com?

I really didn't like the human metrics.com version since the questions were frequently repetitive. I think the shorter Turbo MBTI (website: www.turbombti.com) did a better version of asking questions only once by explicitly comparing introversion and extroversion in the user's mind in the form of a table, rather than asking him or her: Do you prefer to go to a party or read a book? Which is really depends on the frequently changing mood of the test-taker rather than the personality of the test-taker.

What were your experiences with the specific version of MBTI you took? Were some versions better than others and why?

Sincerely,
SJ

Stop with the not so subtle advertising.

edit: I didn't read the contents of the post only the thread description.

I do not like your attempts to advertise that product, that appeared in your previous thread as well

What drew you to MBTI?

I guess the easy answer is I wanted to know more about my type - which was INTJ when I first took the test, then I started to realize that I got a different type every time I took the test :*(

So for months and months I tried all different tests and just couldn't find a good one! I even tried paying for one and still it gave me a different type!

I just didn't know what to do. I tried learning about the functions and about Jung but it was all so confusing. I still really want to know what type I am! Some tests I am N and some times I am S and it's never the same P or J (possible to be 50/50?) and sometimes I think I am a feeler but most times the test says INTJ or INTP. When I do socionics tests it says I am ISTj ....

I wonder if there is another test out there, one that will tell me exactly what my true type is ...

Basically wanted to know my type, then I figured I had to know the types of everyone else as well and on it went.

Oh yeah OP, I betcha the humanmetrics test is a lot better. Why don't you select one forumite and let him or her do your test free? Maybe more would follow suit if said forumite liked it.

Oh, Oh, I just heard about this great one the other day, but i can't remember what it was called... Quickmbti, no that wasn't it. SpeedyTypologists? Hmm, TurboHumanities? JungOnSpeed.com?

Wasn't it called the Jungian Express? Or the Transpersonal railsoul? Or Autopsyche?

I heard it was the best test ever, definitely better than that shity fucking humanmetrics test in any case.
