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?

INFP - the Mediator. My three kids seem to bloody think I have nothing better to do.

DH is an INFP and he thought it was all silliness until I read him the description.

Another INTJ here... we're either not as rare as they say we are, or we are really attracted to internet threads about Myers Briggs so we have all gathered!

Enfj. Of course.

Why would this be unreasonable?

INFJ - very accurate description of my personality. Never met another one in RL though , nice to know there are others out there

ESTJ here - one of the few on this thread by the looks of things!

Infp.
Interesting thread...especially posts about the 'fences' and Barnum effect. It's still a fun test to do and my dh did one at work he is entj.ive always said we were opposites who balance each other out . We read each other's profiles and I think it made us appreciate why we react in certain ways. Reliable or not it gave us a good starting point for a chat.

INTJ, DH is an INTJ too. There's a long-running joke at work that I'm the most likely team member to start and lead a cult. When I took the Myers-Briggs test and came out INTJ it all made sense!

I'm ENFJ which describes me perfectly, even in my more negative character traits - and I went in quite sceptical.

That said I think I'm also an Introverted E and when I'm stressed I flip from J to P and make myself wildly anxious!

I know it's been debunked, but (anecdotally of course) nearly everyone I speak to about it has found it interesting

INTP-T

ESTJ-A

ENFP

ENFP, -A/-T

INTJ - A, probably accurate.

INFP.

Just did it. I got INFP -A/-T.

MN is a sheltered playpen for introverts, if this thread is anything to go by.

When people say it's been debunked that is not exactly right. Its more like it's no longer fashionable to use this info without emoyees being fully willing in the testing and open to discussing results. It is no longer comsidered quite cricket to dismiss an application because the applicant is the 'wrong' type for the role, typically.
Testing as part of an application process is unfashionable now.

INFJ.

motheroftwojedi we're probably everywhere, we just don't talk about it.

Laurie the relief I feel once I have made the decision NOT to go to that party/gathering/event is tremendous. Like a huge weight has been lifted. PJS, ice cream and crap TV heaven!

INTJ - accurate

INFJ here too.

ENFP. Scarily accurate!

which sounds a bit scary.

so are there any tests for the newer more accepted personality type. I find it quite interesting as I consider myself a nice person but i always seem to come out as a monster/dictator/psychopath.

I'm an ISTJ. The duty fulfiller. Quite accurate.

ESFJ the Consul; warm, kind, sociable.

It's bollocks, I know that, but I just handed it to DH and he agrees that if you had to break down each section of my life you'd come up with similar results.
