MBTI Assessment

[replicant_008]

Has anyone else had a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Test completed for them?

Do you remember your type and how it was interpreted?

[grimmy]

what exactly is this mbti you are talking about?

[replicant_008]

The MBTI is the Myer Briggs Type Indicator. This is a method of classifying personality types and is based in part on principles first developed by Carl Jung.

Perhaps you could provide a link so that we may take it.

It would be good if it gave an explanation into the meanings they have defined me by.

My test results

[grimmy]

yes i have taken one of those before i was an inti or or intt or something like that. thats where i got my tagging name from ((itni by the way)oh and just on paper never on walls) but now i am an intj introvert intuitive thinking judging

Hmmmmm interesting.

But like all such psychological profiles its is flawed by its cultural relativism.

However my results are imteresting, and do represent a certian aspect of my psychology that I am aware of.

Your Type is 
ENTP 
Extroverted   Intuitive Thinking Perceiving 
22                    33        22          22  
Strength of the preferences %  



Qualitative analysis of your type formula

 You are:
slightly expressed extrovert

moderately expressed intuitive personality

slightly expressed thinking personality

slightly expressed perceiving personality

There are also two links that describe what it all means.
Both read a little to much like a Horoscope for me, in that they are very general and often mention things that anyone can apply to themselves, and none of them cover the negative aspects of the personality type.
However there are enough strong well defined statements within them that make some of what they say quite relevent.

http://typelogic.com/entp.html is the best, and most accurate.

http://keirsey.com/personality/ntep.html is filled with lots of Jargon, but does make some sense.

I change personalities depending upon whom I am around and when I take the test. Usually I get a "concrete" somewhere in the toss... I don't much like the unknown and the theoretical.

This is pretty accurate, I'd say, though I can become extroverted once I am very familiar with people. I dislike any social situation such as a party, dance, concert, etc because there aren't enough rules. I get enough "socialness" in at work, school, etc, anywhere where socializing is not the main activity.

I think the reason that I am comfortable 'talking' to people on a forum is that I am free to respond, or not, and I may take as long as I like. Usually it takes a long time to figure out exactly what I want to say and this does not work well in everyday life.

I am also the type to have one and only one close friend whom I spend all available social time with.

I also am constantly figuring quicker, better, more streamlined ways to do things.

I've taken a full version at least twice. I'm an INT-[something]. I never remember which is which between P & J. Percieving and Judging

[Oz]

I have taken the whole course about 3 times. I'm always a VERY strong ENTJ. It helps when you know about 8 people with psych degrees. No name dropping, but someone here has the personality known in psychologist circles as 'Profile of a Bitch'.

Hi folks

Sorry I've been afk for a couple of days - playing golf (incidentally very badly) and working on the race car. I've recently been recruited by another organisation and completed a pile of aptitude tests plus an OPQ (a proprietary personality test). As some self-development I did the MBTI and have been reading a book explaining results.

When I get a moment I'll explain what the results indicate. Because this is a self-perception test of preferences it may be interesting to compare the results of the MBTI to your own thoughts - and how it compares with your approach to work etc

Got to run I have to do some work on the roll cage so I'll catch up and explain a bit more soon.

[DVSNCYNIKL]

Cool, an explanation.
