| Fayceless said: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp There is a 72-question YES/NO test that can help determine your type. You have to be honest, of course. The first I took one of these I answered the way I though I "should" be, when there are no right or wrong answers, except what describes you.
Then why does Briggs-Meyers type indicator show up in Psychology textbooks? Why do practicing psychiatrists keep material on it handy? This ain't no "what video game character are you?" test. It's a tool in the field of psychology that can help people. It CAN be very difficult to determine your type, especially if you're not honest with yourself about who you are, but it's quite remarkable how the types describe behavior and mindset so well. But do keep in mind: these are only types. Categories. There are as many personalities as there are people in the world, it just so happens they can be categorized to some extent.
As for me, I am an INFP. |
Interesting.
I took the OP's test and came out as:
INFP - The Idealist
Quiet, reflective, and idealistic. Interested in serving humanity. Well-developed value system, which they strive to live in accordance with. Extremely loyal. Adaptable and laid-back unless a strongly-held value is threatened. Usually talented writers. Mentally quick, and able to see possibilities. Interested in understanding and helping people.
Then I took your long test and came out as:
ESFJ - The Caregiver
Warm-hearted, popular, and conscientious. Tend to put the needs of others over their own needs. Feel strong sense of responsibility and duty. Value traditions and security. Interested in serving others. Need positive reinforcement to feel good about themselves. Well-developed sense of space and function.
While both do describe me in part, neither describe me as a whole. It seems to me that we, as human beings, are far too complex for any test to define us.
