Even though I was completely honest I can't I am sure with my results. On a similar test I was an ENFJ, in this one I am an INFJ, so either I answered something wrong.

Then again, I like to believe that I am too complex to figure out.

Well, since I last took the test, I've been completely fascinated with Myers-Briggs typology.

Earlier, I consistently scored ISFJ, but the description just didn't fit me. I started answering the mypersonality.info quiz a little differently, and I began testing as an INTJ.

That, too, didn't fit me. It was a better fit (I think I might appear to the outsider as more sensing than intuitive, but that's not the case), but still not quite appropriate. Then I went to INFJ, and that was very close, but not quite there. So, I finally went to a typology board and asked somebody to help me with my problem.

They suggested I was either an ISFJ or ISFP. Funnily, I didn't remember I was ever typed as an ISFJ, and I read the descriptions and realized that I most certainly was not an ISFJ. An ISFP, however, was a rather good match. So, I lurked around the ISFP boards, trying to soak up the atmosphere, and while I definitely got the feeling I was similar to an ISFJ, I knew it wasn't me.

So, I switched a letter to INFP and I think I've found my spot. All INFP's I've met (er.. read) have such incredibly similar experiences as I do! It's really amazing. Knowing my type gives me easier access into my head and what makes me tick. I have so much more insight now, than I ever did before.

I recommend looking for your own type, as well, through various typology sites like I did. It takes awhile, it can be frustrating, but the rewards are bountiful.

I guess that's about right, although I might have ended up as a ISFP instead (Artist.)

Lazario, these can't accurately tell everything about your personality, as no one can be put in one type, but it's just trying to get close to what you are, and it's fun to see what "kind" you are. I think that possibly your thinking, analytical personality has been at work here, lol. It's just for fun, it's not exact. It's just, "do you like photography in general?" because if you like to take photos, you probably also like to look at photos. The point is they are related.

I'm with Duster. These tests aren't meant to represent who you truly are. Personalities can sometimes be complex and hard to analyze. Just when you have someone figured out, they do something that completely changes your perspective on them.

I was reading my results one more, and like to think the reason I am introverted is not because its my nature but because I was taught to be introverted. As a kid, I used to speak my mind on a lot of things and comment honestly on everything around me. One time I was in therapy with another kid who was really annoying. The teacher told me to call his mother who was in the waiting room. I get out of the room and tell her "Lady, your son is ANNOYING!". All the mothers, including the lady, laughed at my innocent but honest claim. MY mother, on the other hand, wanted to die out of embarrassment. When class was over my mother tore me a new one over my comment, saying how disrespectful and hurtful it was (the lady didn't seem bothered by it, though). And from that moment on, my parents made it a case to teach me to always be quiet and not offend anyone.

I am sure that had they never taken that initiative I would have been 100% extroverted (my extroverted nature still shines in class and group conversations).

How very interesting (and how wrong of your parents, though keeping quiet sometimes and not offending others when you so choose is a good thing).

Yes, on the inside people are who they are. Our experiences can change us, by our inside deciding what to do or think about after having those experiences, and sometimes our experiences change us in a way that conflicts so much with our true inside, it's bad for us...

There's a difference between talking back and speaking your mind. That difference lies in how the message is delivered. That's what I believe my parents didn't properly teach me. I admit that there are things I think that WILL offend people, especially people I love dearly, so being introverted about it helps deal with the situation.

But on the other hand, there have been times in which people have insulted me or made a comment that hurts me, but I stay quiet in fear of insulting the other person, even though THEY just insulted ME. This creates a conflict in me because my heart tells me to fight back, but my mind tells me to hold back. This often worsens the problem because I react in the wrong manner and the point is lost.

As of late, though, I've been thinking of how to handle these situations. If the person talking has very violent tendencies when arguing or debating something it's best to stay quiet. If the person has an ego but CAN debate it in a formal manner then its OK to speak your mind. Finally, any situation where your future, well being or the well being of others is at stake you should talk no matter the person or the situation.

I know this is easier said than done, but I think you can speak your mind and still be courteous. When you speak your mind while being respectful towards other will earn you respect and self admiration.

Results from today:

[img]<a%20href="http://johntdoe.mypersonality.info"%20target="_top"><img%20src="http://badges.mypersonality.info/badge/0/23/233195.png"%20alt="Click%20to%20view%20my%20Personality%20Profile%20page"%20border="0"></a>[/img]

Results from last time I did this, about a year ago:

<a href="http://johnrdoe.mypersonality.info" target="_top"><img src="http://badges.mypersonality.info/badge/0/16/169677.png" alt="Click to view my Personality Profile page" border="0"></a>

I've now taken this quiz several times since this thread was first posted (at the site linked to and on other quizzes), and each time I've come out exactly the same way. I'm EXTREMELY consistent! I feel sure INFP is my "correct" type, because even though I don't fit the description exactly, I fit it closer than I do any of the other 15 types.

More importantly, my natural preference in each of the four individual dichotomies that make up the INFP (Introvert, Intuition, Feeling, Perceiving) is OVERWHELMINGLY accurate for me.

The quiz can be found here: http://www.mypersonality.info/

(Note - the "PRO" version of the test is a new, pay feature, but the 2 basic tests are still free)

There's a bunch at http://www.similarminds.com , including a different version of the Myers/Briggs (I got the same results on both)

I think that for the most part, this kinda nailed me.

How come you get two sets of results? I only got one. And I don't know how to post the picture. All this work for nothing?

There are two different test, the Personality Type test and the Multiple Intelligences test. Both are the "basic" versions of the tests that they have always had, and are still free. (unlike the "PRO" version they are heavily promoting). Look for the "Multiple Intelligences" button to take the second test.

To post your results visually you have to create a "badge" on your account page, tell the badge whether you want to include one or both tests, what colors you want to use, etc, and it then gives you an "embed" code for the badge that you can include in your post.

PS. Everytime you take the test, it clears your old results and replaces them with the new ones. The reason I was able to post 2 different badges was because I set up two different accounts, so I could compare my results over time.

@ David: Thanks for the info. I'm not going to create an account. (I filled in a fake e-mail adress too.) Maybe later, if I have more time on my hands.

I used a fake e-mail too, for privacy/potential spam reasons, but it still let me create an account. Just curious, how were you able to take the test without registering?

Oh, I gave a fake e-mail adress and then went right to the test. I suppose an account has now been created under a fake e-mail adress. (Unless somebody actually uses that adress and will be spammed from this day forward.) :D

I used one that I knew didn't exist. But if it did create an account for you, you could then do the badge. When I last created mine, it asked for a name, user name, password, and email, so I need to remember the password and username to get into the account.
