Another Jungian/Myers-Briggs personality test

Online tests aren't the best for figuring Myers-Briggs types, but this was an interesting one (if a bit long) that posed similar questions in different ways, and gave results indicating not just who we are, but who we'd like to be and who we're attracted to. INFJ is indeed my type so it got that right, and apparently I'm contented with who I am...

How logical?

I have always been considered logical. I do like puzzles, and enjoyed this quiz, which had some interesting questions. It's one of the things that made me (mistakenly) consider my Myers-Briggs type must include the letter 'T' - which is not the case.

You Are Incredibly Logical

Move over Spock - you're the new master of logic You think rationally, clearly, and quickly. A seasoned problem solver, your mind is like a computer!

Personality type (Myers-Briggs, approximately)

I thought this wasn't bad at all for a quick test, although results should be taken with a large pinch of salt and checked against descriptions in books and/or relevant web-sites. Online personality tests of this sort are generally fairly inaccurate.

Still, I answered as carefully as I could, trying not to think about what the responses would lead to, and it gave me the correct personality type.

You Are An INFJ

The Protector You live your life with integrity, originality, vision, and creativity. Independent and stubborn, you rarely stray from your vision - no matter what it is. You are an excellent listener, with almost infinite patience. You have complex, deep feelings, and you take great care to express them. You would make a great photographer, alternative medicine guru, or teacher.

Thanks to Merry for this one. I'm certainly an Idealist in Myers-Briggs/Keirseyan temperament theory, and the suggested professions do sound around right, if I were starting over again.

Extraverted traits?

Well I KNOW I'm not an Extravert. It's the one Myers-Briggs 'letter'I have no doubt about at all. So I didn't expect to get anything on this quiz. In fact it seems to have tested for a variety of traits, not merely Extraversion. It's true that my activity levels and excitement-seeking are extremely low, but I thought I was reasonably friendly. Ah well.

Your Extroversion Profile:

Cheerfulness: Medium

Sociability: Medium

Assertiveness: Low

Friendliness: Low

Activity Level: Very Low

Excitement Seeking: Very Low

Myers-Briggs and Enneagram combined

Well here's a strange one. The two best-known popular personality tests, Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram, all in one questionnaire. 102 questions in all, with scales of agreement rather than yes/no options, so easier than some. I don't think I've seen a combined one before.

Once again I seem to have got INFJ as my result in the Myers-Briggs scale. With silly percentages that should be ignored. However it gave me type 5 on the Enneagram. That's what online Ennea tests usually give me, but it's almost impossible to determine Ennea type from a test like this. Fives are withdrawn people who hoard either time, or knowledge, or possessions. I'm quiet and withdrawn, but although I thought I was a Five for a while, I eventually discovered (after much reading and discussion) that I"m a type Nine.

But anyway, an interesting test.

Jung/Myers-Briggs at HumanMetrics

For what it's worth, and for future reference, here's one of the much-used online tests which (supposedly) gives the Myers-Briggs type. I think the questions aren't bad, and it gave me INFJ which is currently the type I think is probably mine. But then again, perhaps I was biassed in my answers.

What I don't like about this one is that it allocates percentages to the letters. How silly. In the official MBTI, the percentages simply show how likely the answers are to be correct. They don't show the actual strength of preference - such a thing isn't possible anyway. Besides, as some answers are likely to be borderline, that could change from day to day, whereas our type (and temperament) are supposedly fixed at birth.

Anyway, here's what it told me:

Your Type is

Harry Potter and Myers-Briggs combined

I came across this one on Lou's blog. Asks fairly standard temperament/type questions, and then allocates a Harry Potter character as well as a Myers-Briggs code.

No surprises here in that once again it confirms INFJ - slightly more surprising is that it gives me Dumbledore, just as the QuizFarm quiz below did.

Myers-Briggs quiz

Of course online quizzes only give a vague indication of type. There are better ones than this around too, but I do like the way it will give the first few possibilities rather than just one. It was also quite accurate: INFJ is indeed my type, as far as I know, with ISFJ the one next most like me. But take it with a pinch of salt, as with all these things (and why, I wonder, is there such a huge gap between this text and the quiz results?)

Your #1 Match: INFJ

The Protector You live your life with integrity, originality, vision, and creativity. Independent and stubborn, you rarely stray from your vision - no matter what it is. You are an excellent listener, with almost infinite patience. You have complex, deep feelings, and you take great care to express them. You would make a great photographer, alternative medicine guru, or teacher.

Your #2 Match: ISFJ

The Nurturer You have a strong need to belong, and you very loyal. A good listener, you excell at helping others in practical ways. In your spare time, you enjoy engaging your senses through art, cooking, and music. You find it easy to be devoted to one person, who you do special things for. You would make a good interior designer, chef, or child psychologist.

Your #3 Match: ENFJ

The Giver You strive to maintain harmony in relationships, and usually succeed. Articulate and enthusiastic, you are good at making personal connections. Sometimes you idealize relationships too much - and end up being let down. You find the most energy and comfort in social situations ... where you shine. You would make a good writer, human resources director, or psychologist.
