Personality

[plumber]

We have different ways to think about what is.

When try to understand others (women... or other men) this tool has another way to think about it.

This is a decent tool, probably better ones and worse ones available. The idea is that its another way to understand what is going on.

For example some girl is doing something that does not make sense and we ask, why is that girl crazy. If you know your own personality type and what to expect from yourself it helps. If you get the others test results you can more or less map out many interactions.

The tool results are relatively accurate over time.

Not all bad or good behavior is for the reasons we think, sometimes its built into the person as just how they do it.

Take the test yourself, read about your results. Share if you want, the value is in knowing yourself and how you might relate to the other types.

I am INTJ

I use this with most every girl I end up dating as well as the 5 love languages. Good insight.

 

[Travel memoir21]

Good stuff, maybe ill try this with my parents and buddies as well.

That test isn’t great. The questions are vague and change depending on mood or context, and it types people by letters instead of cognitive functions. I’m an INTJ, but that test gives me INTP or ESTP depending on the day.

Once you understand cognitive functions, you don’t really need tests. You can type people by what they do and why they do it, which ends up being way more accurate than answering ambiguous questions.

For example, I can type you based on your OP alone. I see strong NI/TE in your op which does result in INTJ. Congratulations for being one of the lucky ones to not be mistyped by that test.

if you have a better way that's great, use that instead. for me that test has been reliable over time and with different moods and variety of people. one of the challenges is knowing why ppl do something. what they do is always very clear.

how do you resolve the why someone does something by only observing them ?

If you want to tell how your test works so that others can use it, that would be ok.

I don't this is significantly meaningful really....maybe it paints some broad strokes but life is rarely that black and white and behaviors change based on life stressors and contexts.

Essentially you never know how someone is truly going to behave in a given situation with a given set of circumstances until you've seen them in it...

Okay, let's take @BackInTheGame78 post for example

His first sentence points to Introverted Thinking (Ti) because he is analyzing a concept critically and questioning a rigid system. His second sentence shows Extraverted Intuition (Ne) as he is considering multiple possibilities and outcomes, though more in an abstract or conceptual sense rather than a sensory one. Based on this analysis alone, we can narrow his type to INTP or ENTP. Since he leads with a Ti driven statement and seems more internally oriented, I would confidently put my money on INTP. Based off one post alone, I know @BackInTheGame78 strengths, weaknesses, fears, motivators, and etc.

 

[The Duke]

I've taken this test multiple times over the years and it comes out the same every time for me.

Perhaps for more emotional minded people it may not be so consistent as your emotions change so does how you answer the questions?

I can usually predict what an individual is before they even take the test.

It's no surprise who I get a long with best in romantic relationships and personal relationships. This test proves it every time.

maybe forum users are heavy weighted as analysts. analysts is only 25% of the total. are you able to breakout the other types also ? or is it analysts and everyone else in another group ?

is the test an activity you do at a few months into a relationship or sooner ? if you see a ENTP-T, do you run ?

yes, no argument about an actual test case being the definitive. maybe this is not a screening tool for casual date, maybe its useful for input to a longer relationship.

 

[Plinco]

You guys are taking this stuff way too seriously. I'm just awesome and I don't need a test result to tell me that.

 

[The Duke]

I usually do it a few months in. Depends how serious it is. I'd never automatically just run, I would stay aware and proceed cautiously instead of assuming the worst. Prove it to me. I want facts, and yes it says that about my personality type.

Yes, i had the same thoughts as you, you have to know the beast in order to tame it right? I have always been interested in studing personalitys. I have watched Jordan Petersons lectures on Personality and its transformations and also professor Grace.

Rollo Tomassi also studied personality and behavioral psychology.

It makes sense that online forums are often dominated by analysts, considering the circumstances and conditions. Also, toxic women tend to align with certain types as well. Some types are harder for me to identify due to my lack of experience with those functions, and introverts are generally more challenging to type in person. Online it is easier because they are more likely to be themselves behind a computer screen than to a stranger in person.

 

[taiyuu_otoko]

Online personality tests are an exercise in self delusion.

Sure, they're fun to talk about, but they are useless as a predictive tool.

Your own experience is much better.

 

[FlexpertHamilton]

The test you linked to (Myers Briggs) was designed several decades ago by two charlatan women with no psychological training or education. They attempted to tease apart incredibly complex and nuanced ideas from Jung and radically oversimplified and misrepresented his archetypes because failed to understand or apply what he was attempting to describe.

The only personality test that has any validity is the Big Five test, but even that is limited. Any other personality test is an exercise in delusion and arrogance in thinking you understand yourself or others. In fact, merely believing such absurdly reductionistic tests are valid at all kind of implies a lack self awareness and failure to conceptualize what the self really is.
