personality test
would be interested to see what types you are according to this personality test:
against all expectations it appears that i am compatible with my iNTP boyfriend ...
why dont you start the ball rolling then chant, and tell those amongst us that dont know, what your personality type is...
oh, no no no!
am getting better responses from (to use Hox's immortal phrase) the younger web site i am seeing.
oh good.
:-)
does the younger website you are seeing know that you are over here every five minutes with your feet under the table?
:-)
OK, I did it. I'm a sucker for these things but I'm not sure I'd agree with its conclusions. It says:
moderately expressed extrovert
moderately expressed intuitive personality
slightly expressed thinking personality
slightly expressed judging personality
Not sure what that means. I guess it thinks I leap before I look whilst yelling about everything under the sun but judging no one. Some truth but not enough!
ENTJ then, Tony? hmmm. interesting.
What's ENTJ? Is it some new form of slimming tonic?
enfj...i think that means i am a bit heavy for my height...
i am ENFP ...
cosmic ...
me too - ENFP - just did it
but I don't really get the scoring
which went .............. 1 33 11 44
why are they all to do with eleven. Which is one of my favourite numbers
ah. Fish and Freeda are my pals.
*waves at Fish and Freeda*
Im with Faithless on this...ENFJ
Extroverted 11%
Intuitive 33%
Feeling 33%
Judging 1%
Whatta load of .... interesting stuff...
this is a bit more like it... are you a socialised psychopath...
am happy to announce i am not. apparently.

scary.
Eldest sprog is apparantly beyond salvation...
Lucky escape you had there, L :-)
I just ran liana's bob.bob.bofh test on Hox. The result was:
The test results suggest
strong psychopathic tendencies.
This does not mean the person is a potential mass-murderer: socialised psychopaths are not mad, nor do they have to resort to violence. Even so, a close professional or emotional relationship with a socialised psychopath is likely to prove a damaging experience.
Fish, liana, Pip Pip and Ralph all scored much worse than this.
I'm INTJ. I scored:
89% introverted
89% intuitive
11% thinking
1% judging
It say's I'm a perfectionist -- and I don't really think I am. (Or maybe I am, but only on things I really care about, and such things don't come about too often ... and when they do, I end up not caring about it again pretty quickly.)
but...
"do not readily grasp the social rituals" is very true.
oh i dont know Andrea... I quite like psychopaths.. can never have too much unpredictability in a relationship i say..
personally, i resent the use of the expression "nancy-boy"...
Did the test, I am:
Slightly expressed extrovert.
Distinctly expressed intuitive personality.
Slightly expressed feeling personality.
Moderately expressed percieving personality.
Oh yeah, that's ENFP
ISFP me.
Not many of us I's around......
Still at least John Travolta and Doris Day were also
allegedly.
Sounds like analysts making lists and keeping themselves
in jobs really. Although some of it rings true, but then again,
so do some horoscopes.
it's obvious that they try and find positive things about personalities so that when they tell you you are the "artisan type" with talent at doing this and that.. obviously you're going to feel good about yourself and marvel at their intuition... horoscopes, personality tests... the whole lot is a pile of s**t
and yet we find ourselves steadily going through a ridiculously long list of questions to have someone we've never met tell us what we're like...
"this troubles me"
*sharpens knitting needle*
*thinks "uh oh"*
Um...uh...hi, Psychox...howabout some...um...socks?
on the jung test I was
very expressed introvert
distinctively expressed intuitive personality
moderately expressed feeling personality
slightly expressed perceiving personality
The type of relationships I have (according to one of the profiles) are
Type Relationships for INFPs:
Identity Pal Complement Contrast
Supplement Anima Suitemate Cohort
Companion Tribesman Advisor Pedagogue
Enigma Novelty Neighbor Counterpart
glad we got that sorted, the other profile says I'm a healer, like joan of arc apparantly.
Mark, my boy, welcome to the club - you, me, Homer, Virgil and Shakespeare! how they ascertain what the Jungian psychological profiles of Homer, Virgil and Shakespeare are *is*, it has to be said, something of a mystery. still, i am prepared to accept the 'propensity for literary genius' tag that the test has given me.
Type Relationships carry the same headings for each psychological profile. the difference occurs in the item assigned to each heading. thus, if you click on 'Pal' you find the item ENFP. *waves at Fish and Freeda again*. a different psychological profile would have a different 'Pal'.
overall, i think that Jung's categorisations (extrovert/introvert, feeling/thinking etc) are a useful beginning to psychological study, but fail to take into the account how variable human behaviour is depending on how we feel on a particular day, what kind of environment we are placed in etc. the tool is too blunt to dissect personality, but does introduce some interesting distinctions.
God I hate these things. they're useless and should be banned, they're on the same scale as fortune cookies and I'll have nothing at all to do with them.
(ENTJ same as Tony by the way! DAMN!)
Yeah man I got INFP too
and apparently we healers make up only 1% of the population!
*hugs Funky*
I'm an INTP. Does that make me a first? I was reading all about what it meant when the webpage froze and I wasn't going to do it all again...
Are you cured now Funky?
Agree with Ely, it is really drivel.. if psych profiling could be done with 37 (or however many it was) questions then Im sure psychs wouldnt have to study for 8 years to work... as for it being a useful beginning for psych study, as someone who has done that for years, i.m.o its about as useful as the "mostly A's mostly B's or Mostly C's" personality tests in teen magazines. and thats not much.
As a bit of amusement its ok though.. Homer and shakespeare? hrm.
INFP
slightly expressed introvert
distinctively expressed intuitive personality
slightly expressed feeling personality
slightly expressed perceiving personality
I don't like it - I suspect some of the questions concluded that because I answered 'No, I do not prefer A to B' I must prefer B to A, which is rarely true. And figures of 11, 67, 11, 11 seem a little suspect too.
It doesn't feel right with these letters. I want my other personality back.
Sorry, Dr. Faustus has it now. Or should that be Dr. Jung.
The doctor will see you next.
