What Personality Type Are You?

I'm an INFP.

You can find out your personality by taking a short quiz at: http://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test

It's only 60 questions, and it's best to go quickly without over-thinking it. There is no right or wrong answer.

You can see the complete list of personality types and read about them here: http://www.16personalities.com/type-descriptions Look me up and find out more about me if you wish.

I'm curious about others on this site, and whether there is any commonality between personality and our interest in dreams. I wonder if we dreamers have similar personalities at all?

I'm also starting to think about all the dream characters I've met and wonder if they exhibited enough character to determine what personality type they were. Next time I meet one, I'll ask. I wonder if dream characters too, have different personalities types. They can sure seem like it sometimes, and they are not always the same as my own!

ENFP

Yeh it'd be interesting to see traits in common

I was reading about ENFP and can relate a lot to it. No big surprise because we are only off by one letter: I and E. Introvert vs. Extrovert.

It seems the only difference is our energy levels (enthusiasm) and social skills (charm). The rest is the same. I happen to be low energy like a sloth and only dress well if I have to. But proud of it! :mrgreen:

There is no right or wrong personality and we should be proud of who we are and embrace it! :D

INTP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again, only 1 letter off. T and F. Thinking vs. Feeling.

I do tend to use gut feelings instead of logic to come up with my theories. I admit that. (Just look at the OP when I was talking about Dream Characters. There is no logic there). But that's why it's good to bounce ideas off of other personality types. I come up with out of the box ideas, but need thinkers to shoot them down, or see if they float.

Took the quiz you posted a link for and I am a: INFP.

Here's a serious, scientific inquiry:

I wonder if there is a correlation between us INFP types, and.... MAKING OUR NAMES ALL CAPS! :lol:

INPF

That must be a typo. You must mean, INFP. (I know, it gets confusing). (Introversion, iNtuition, Feeling, Procpecting) But it's the same thing, just in a different order.

I understand what the Myers-Briggs personality type is doing. They took 4 elements, and had 2 of each possibility and came up with 16 personalities. (2 to the power of 4).

There's no reason why we couldn't add another element to our own personalities and make it 32, or another and make it 64, and go on and on, until we are in the billions. We are all unique, but perhaps there is an element of truth to this, and we stem from these basic types and grow like a tree from there.

But on certain days, I may be more like one or the other with a change of a letter, but I agree I am mostly an INFP too.

WHY NOT THE CAPS FOR YOUR NAME, GUITAR48300? Well, that debunks that theory! :lol:

Like you said, we're all unique. At least you got that theory right :lol:

I appreciate that though and sometimes opposites attract.

I wrote that last night, and was shocked to read more about my personality in the 'friendship' department and it said the exact same thing!

http://www.16personalities.com/infp-friends

(Just change the 'infp' to a different personality to look up someone else's personality to understand them better and how they interact with people.)

It's quite enlightening, and it turns you all into real live people, not dead words on a screen.

(I'm very aware of my last line and how INFP it is to say that!)

It is said on there certain characteristics can in fact conflict with other personalities, hence causing a huge rivalry between other classes. While my father hasn't taken the personality quiz (and cannot, because he has a learning disability when it comes to technology), it is assumed whatever his personality is conflicts with mine, which is why we are constantly fighting. Although it does mention people who are extremely extroverted and people who are extremely introverted have a much higher chance of having spats with one another. Another thing it mentions on there, it said on there that the INTJ were most likely to have conflicts and spats with those who had anything to do with the feeling trait or with, so INFJs may very well have a personality conflict with an INTJ. So apparently there is some sort of compatibility chart on how well a person will get along with a personality, and how likely they will get into a fight with someone due to their personality. Despite the fact this personality chart wasn't shown on the Sims 2 & 3, it was even proven on the Sims that those who had trait incompatibility were much more likely to fight and become enemies with one another than those who had trait compatibility. So I am wondering if this at all proves anything?

INTJ's like Summerlander and DeschainXIX, value intellectual friends, ignore boring gossip, and any arguments based on emotion, not facts.

http://www.16personalities.com/intj-friends wrote: INTJs tend to have set opinions about what works, what doesn't, what they're looking for, and what they're not. These discriminating tastes can come across as arrogant, but INTJs would simply argue that it's a basic filtering mechanism that allows them to direct their attentions where they will do the most good. The fact is that in friendship, INTJs are looking for more of an intellectual soul mate than anything else, and those that aren't prepared for that kind of relationship are simply boring. INTJs need to share ideas - a self-feeding circle of gossip about mutual friends is no kind of social life for them.

When it comes to emotional support, INTJs are far from being a bastion of comfort. They actively suppress their own emotions with shields of rationality and logic, and expect their friends to do the same. When emotionally charged situations do come about, INTJs may literally have no clue how to handle them appropriately, a glaring contrast from their usual capacity for decisive self-direction and composure.

INFJ's like nesgirl, want a friend who is exactly like them, who share the same values, idealism, and interests, but it's so rare, you need to compromise.

http://www.16personalities.com/infj-friends wrote: INFJs are often perfectionistic, looking for ultimate compatibility, and yet also look for someone with whom they can grow and improve in tandem. Needless to say, this is a tall order, and INFJs should try to remember that they are a particularly rare personality type, and even if they find someone compatible in that sense, the odds that they will also share every interest are slim. If they don’t learn to meet others halfway and recognize that the kind of self-improvement and depth they demand is simply exhausting for many types, INFJs are likely end up abandoning healthy friendships in their infancy, in search of more perfect compatibilities.

Further complicating things are INFJs’ eloquence and persuasiveness, which lead to a lot of (unwanted) attention and popularity. Their quiet, determined idealism and imaginative expression naturally draw influence, and if there’s anything INFJs avoid, it’s the accumulation of power over others – and the people who are drawn to that type of power. INFJs will find themselves more sought after than they’d ever care to be, making it even more difficult for them to find someone they truly have an affinity with. Really the only way to be counted among INFJs’ true friends is to be authentic, and to have that authenticity naturally reflect their own.

As for me, I devote a lot of time thinking about others and forget myself. I go back and forth, sometimes awaken from my slumber like a groundhog, try to make peace, and then return to my cocoon. (Groundhogs make cocoons right? Forget logic and my analogy makes sense. ;) )

http://www.16personalities.com/infp-friends wrote: INFPs crave the depth of mutual human understanding, but tire easily in social situations; they are excellent at reading into others' feelings and motivations, but are often unwilling to provide others the same insight into themselves - it's as though INFPs like the idea of human contact, but not the reality of social contact.

INFPs will always need to disappear for a while, removing themselves from others so they can re-center on their own minds and feelings. Often enough people with the INFP personality type will emerge from this time alone having come to some momentous decision that even their closest friends didn't know was weighing on them, evading even the option of receiving the sort of support and advice they so readily give. Such is INFPs' way, for better or for worse.

I think a recipe of psychology, psychometrics, and a little Barnum effect is allowing these people to cook up ostensibly remarkable psychoanalyses. In fact, many so-called psychics use such techniques on the spot to read their subjects and obtain as many hits as possible.

I believe we are more colourful and fickle personality-wise than what the conclusions imply. We also go through a constant evolution and let us bear in mind that two individuals of the same personality type can still differ. This is certainly fun and can often seem accurate but let's remember that INFJ's and ESTJ's are just made up labels. Can we really afford to pigeonhole people like this?

Sometimes I feel that we lose sight of the wonderful spectra that in reality describes how colourful and diverse the world really is.

Is Barack Obama really black or do we like to think of him as the first black US president? Isn't he, by definition, mixed? What constitutes a black person? How dark do they have to be? Do they always have to be thick-lipped and possess wide nostrils? Obama doesn't fit this bill. And if we say black people are full of melanin, what about thick-lipped, curly-haired African albinos?

You see what I mean? We create the labels for the sake of communication but life is more colourful still. Maybe Philosopher is right (we are proto-linguistic) and we still have a lot of growing up to do. Perhaps he has something, er... COHERENT to say about all this. :mrgreen:

And can we really agree on what's coherent? What seems perfectly clear to DeschainXIX might just go over nesgirl's head. :-P

Are you using logic to tell me I'm wrong? You hurt my feelings.

That's the way we Virgos are. ;)

Lol! Nope! :-D

I think this thread makes a lot of sense to us humans. Logic? Always. Facts? Not much. My post is more speculative than anything else. Look at the honesty (not to brag) in my statements. I start with "I think..." and then "in fact" (about the psychics which is a given anyway). ;-)

And then, "I believe..." and questioning the method: "Can we really afford..." and it's not a crime to voice one's concerns either: "Sometimes I feel..." :mrgreen:

In fact (lol), I ask so many questions! Like Socrates, who was sure he knew nothing. I like the fact that Thomas Jefferson was the same type as me. 8-)

I'm a Gemini, btw. :-)

All I do know is that personality quiz did show us one thing: personality conflicts. There is such a think as trait or personality incompatibility, and if 2 personalities are incompatible with each other, it will cause 2 people instinctively to fight with each other. This is why I nearly always pick a fight with my father and he picks a fight with me whenever we see each other, because we have personality incompatibilities with each other. Here watch these video if you don't get what I mean by this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lun7SoXwJk8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOfM7WB1ya4 Although we really fight with each other, and he really gets on my nerves and I get on his nearly all the time, we still have some respect for each other at times. Although being a nemesis with someone is different than being an enemy with someone. And obviously, if I caught someone trying to drown puppies/kittens, I might even go as far as to attack them to save the dogs, and then take the bag away from them, and raise them myself. Also my INFJ categories believes that a problems can be solved before they even happen. If you have a law to either spay/neuter pets/people or at least cut the Fallopian tubes (female)/ get a vasectomy (male) on the animals/people for the romantics who don't believe in a complete surgery (you cannot argue against this, it is still sterilization), then we can at least prevent the issue of overpopulation right there without having to kill any poor innocent babies. Just imagine if we actually went through with this whole surgery thing. There would be no more abortions, no more killing or abusing innocent animals. The asexual people could find satisfaction in having their animals and themselves with a complete surgery. The romantics could have satisfaction with having a semi-surgery without the worry of ever having children (also the female surgery includes a frying of the uterus, so therefore there would be no more visitors, much to many female's relief). We could easily control the population, much like they attempting to do with the animals if we did this.
Okay and even you can't say this isn't a better solution for you than drowning them, as cruel as you are to animals. Because then you get to have endless entertainment with your animals minus the babies, while the asexual people can enjoy the animals "their way". I think this is more than fair.

Scorpio Scorpions can look like mean little buggers.

No, that's absolutely right, Summerlander. Few respectable psychologists genuinely take the Myers-Briggs personality chart seriously. Personality is not so dichotomous and clean and quantifiable. It is grey, liquid, volatile. This is just a fun little game, scientifically--but of course there are many great insights the test can give us. Humans are simpler than we tend to think they are (though things like DMT seem to tell another story).

I have no idea what an EOJA is.... Did you miss-type it? Earlier in this thread, about a year ago, you were an ESTJ. (Is that what you meant)? And you're very Assertive. (You don't care what people think about you!)

You're actually the complete opposite of an INFP-T, like me.

I appreciate that though and sometimes opposites attract.

(I'm such a damn hippie aren't I?)

Yes, guilty of mistyping. I do care what people think about me, but only if what they think is wrong. I've "Assertive" in both the test's sense and the normal sense. You like me because we're both decent and friendly, as opposed to Summerland who is decent but cold. I'm an non-hippie. So you're a Virgo - lol both my moon and ascendant signs are Virgo ;)

I am leaving this thread now so I don't get attacked by the dogmen (dogmen aren't animals, BTW), and am heading back to Megaman to rejoin chaosdragoon. Bye!!

I actually agree with Summerlander and wrote this back on page one of this thread:

ME wrote: I understand what the Myers-Briggs personality type is doing. They took 4 elements, and had 2 of each possibility and came up with 16 personalities. (2 to the power of 4).

But on certain days, I may be more like one or the other with a change of a letter, but I agree I am mostly an INFP too.

Now everyone's sharing their horoscope which I find funny. I am a Virgo (born Aug.23), right at the cusp, but only mentioned that as a joke, because I thought Summerlander was implying that the personality test is a load of hooey, vague enough for us all to see accurate results like a horoscope. But now I realize I misinterpreted, and he does admit there's a lot of truth in it. At least much more than a horoscope that's for sure.

I'm a lazy slob with his head in the clouds. We'd be horrible roommates! :lol: (It might make a good sit-com though....)

Snaggle wrote: You like me because we're both decent and friendly, as opposed to Summerland who is decent but cold.

You just called Summerlander cold. I wonder how he'll respond? I always enjoy a Summerlander/Snaggle argument. They're more entertaining than a Summerlander/Nesgirl argument, or a Summerlander/Buildit argument, or a Summerlander/Philosopher argument, or a Summerlander/Desert Explorer argument, or a Summerlander/R99 argument.... I could go on.
(Many locked threads on this forum had one common denominator didn't they.) ;)

Anyway, since we're only just 'words on a screen' it's not the same as real social interaction. There's no body language, facial expressions, speech inflections, hand gestures, so many personalities never even show through and those that do write a lot and I've gotten to know is only a small slice of them. You certainly can't use the personality test to pigeon hole anybody here. If I meet another INFJ in the future, for example, I certainly can't think since I met one before on a forum that they'd be anything like nesgirl. There are many more factors other than personality that define a person, how they behave and what motivates them.

If I meet another INFJ in the future

You already know one

For your own peace of mind and happiness here on the forum, I recommend avoiding those you conflict with, and enjoy the company of those with whom you share common interests.

I wondering if Peter is cleverly saying he's an INFJ?

Awesome Sherlock

Done heaps of those tests when I was bored with the same result

I think you entirely under rate Summerland. He knows he's cold, so why do you think he would be upset. You're also ignoring the significance of the word "decent". It includes: honesty; benevolence; lack of envy; lack of self-pity. Summerland is not a poison pill of a human being. He knows that he thinks of others "as noisy machines", holds them in contempt = cold.

Well read, Snaggle. Just like the Scott Adams's quote about "noisy furniture." 8-)

This is not their system - it's Karl Jung's. I read his book ages ago and I think it was written before his Buddhist period so it's circa 1920s, though if wrong it would likely be circa 1930s. His system is a little more complex than what the test is showing, e.g. He invented the words "extrovert" and "introvert", but also had "ambivert" in his system. I'm actually an ambibert using his system. Summerland compare his personality system with the load of smeg Freud came up with.

Is Barack Obama really black or do we like to think of him as the first black US president? Isn't he, by definition, mixed? What constitutes a black person? How dark do they have to be? Do they always have to be thick-lipped and possess wide nostrils? Obama doesn't fit this bill. And if we say black people are full of melanin, what about thick-lipped, curly-haired African albinos?

Barack Obama is not black, he's a mulatto. His just as evil sidekick Eric Holder looks more like an Octaroon (1/8 black) but whines about the racism against himself constantly. Obama also went to one of those ultra fundamental Islamic schools in Indonesia. We see his Anti-Christianity constantly and his pro-islamistism constantly too. I'm going to be glad when we've seen the last of him.

Don't worry. He can't do another term. The Constitution forbids it. I wouldn't even want Hillary Clinton to win the election but I have a feeling the probability is high. But, according to Enra Traz, it'll be Elizabeth Warren. Oh wait! She said she's not running (perhaps Traz comes from an impossible future). Either that or Warren is doing a Frank Underwood.

I know what personality type Obama is, though. Demagogue. You want me to be black? I'm black. You want me to accept the peace prize even though I've done fuck all? I'm a peace-maker. You want me to look after you? Obama cares... Daddycare... :mrgreen:

I was only 50% introvert according to the personality test, so I decided to test if I'm ambivert. On a scale of 0-100, 0 being introvert, and 100 being extrovert, I scored: 45. Almost smack dab in the middle. I used this test: http://lonerwolf.com/introvert-or-extrovert-test/

I agree with that and I do flip-flop back and forth. I like alone time, but only for so long before I need to talk and socialize, discussing everything that was burdening my mind. Then being social can grow tiresome and I need to retreat for a while and recharge. (That sounds like everybody though doesn't it? Or is it just me?)

I changed 'I' to and 'E', and looked up the ENFP personality - "The Campaigner", (synonymous with 'Advocate'), and I identify with ENFP too when I read about it. This forum certainly reveals my more extroverted side because writing is much easier for introverts than speaking face to face in a group.

http://www.16personalities.com/enfp-friends wrote: Luckily, ENFPs are open-minded and sincere enough in their friendships, and connect with and understand even their acquaintances well enough, that they recognize that not everyone expresses themselves in the same ways, and that that's okay. Their sensitivity may make it too challenging to play with more critical and argumentative personalities, such as strongly expressed Thinking (T) (Summerlander) and Judging (J) (Nesgirl) types, but they do appreciate, even cherish, the company of most anyone who appreciates theirs, and the adventures and experiences they have together are the stuff a good life is made of.
