To ask what Myers Briggs type you are?

[NorthernLurker]

Did this on a course today. I am ISFJ and I was totally freaked out by the profile. It isn't sort of like me. It IS me. It's like somebody sat on my shoulder for a year and then described me. Anybody else had this?

Gosh you're coming across as really hostile, Solaris.

For pointing the flaming obvious?

The I see this tripe peddled in schools as career deciders I despair.

Brain Gym = bollocks

Learning styles = more bollocks

ENFP - i was married to an INTJ, he was a control freak and sucked the life out of me (apologies to all INTJs on here)

ENFP a campaigner
Very appropriate to my career !

INTP. Numerous tests always the same result. But then after the first couple you know how to answer to get the same result.

Reading the description the first time was a relief. I realised that at least I wasn't completely weird if I was part of some 3% and it made a lot of sense of why I struggle in many situations.

Infp here and totally accurate!

I've even joined a few infp groups on Facebook to chat to "similar"

INFJ, DH is actually the exact opposite.

INFJ

Pretty accurate for the most part.

Even picked up some things about my personality that I've suspected but never been sure of.

Even my career path covered the various things I've done!

Esfp - the entertainer

Nope

I'm an ISFP. The artist.

Did it a few years ago and was an INFP so I'm becoming more practical as I age!

It's much higher than 50% I'd wager, and nothing like horoscopes.

Lots of INTJs here. Now we're here, what shall we do?

Let's have a coup. Or rather, let's plan a coup, then harness the ENTJ's to implement it.

echt

I totally agree that MBTI shouldn't form part of carer planning in schools. I went into DD1's school over it, in fact, when she came home with a list of careers based on an online test. . It's a total misuse of MBTI and I took them evidence of that. (In my opinion MBTI can be useful - for adults, with due warning on its limitations - for some self insight and to stimulate discussion, but I'm happy to agree to disagree with you on that my dear!)

ENFP-T (turbulent!)

INFJ-A, apparently ultra rare bit there seems to be loads on here!

ISTP-T EXPLORER

Bear Grylls is one apparently - just got back off cub camp myself, so nicely accurate for me.

Bit of fun, don't like the idea of HR departments making decisions based on that sort of thing though.

I'm up for planning a coup then sitting back and watching the chaos unfold

I am INTP, I will do background research for the coup and then wander off down a number of interesting tangents!

Molly I'm the same as you. I've spotted a few other ENFPs too.
