That can't be right. No one should be "deleted"!

 

[Pam]

Defender.

 

[Judycat]

ISFP. Keeping in mind this feels like a bunch of hoodoo, your typical internet tripe. Maybe I should check the zodiac next, throw some Tarot cards around.

I noticed they're all complementary. Where's The Jerk, The Narcissist, The Drama Queen, The Couch Potato, The Slob, The Doomsayer, or The Victim?
Where's me, The Complainer?

They write these personality descriptions up the same way the astrologers write up the signs you are born under up. It's all geared to get you to buy into their scam.

The Myer-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was developed in the 40s as a test to help women, entering the work force for the first time, to find work/jobs best suited to their preferences.

"The research that Myers and her colleagues conducted in those early years was primarily interested in what kind of profession was best suited to each type. Indeed, one of the main goals in developing the MBTI was to help 1940s women, many of whom had never had a career, find satisfactory employment during the Second World War."

It was later used by career counselors to help guide college students in selecting majors that they would find interesting and that they felt that would excel at due to their intrinsic motivations.

After creating the test, it was given to college students and the results compared statistically to determine where the heavier concentration of types were found in terms of college majors. That is the basis for career counselor's recommendations for potential career interest areas based upon the type that the MBTI had indicated for a given individual.


Where all the other assumed traits of the 16 types comes from is anybody's guess.

I tested as INFP but do not relate to being a Mediator, a poet, or an altruistic guy ready to help a good cause.

But I did find career satisfaction in the kinds of activities that the MBTI indicates I would. Drawing (in Engineering Depts., creativity in designing and programming Computer drawing applications.)

Interesting info. They tested us at work. Im an INFP. I dont relate either.
I did become an engineer though. And I like to make things.

JMO. I think you need to take into consideration where your letters are on the scale.
My INF were right smack dab in the middle while the P was hanging off the far edge.

Just a minute...I'll check with the 7 other personalities that live in my head. They said they'll get back to me, they're busy right now.

 

[Babs2u]

I was thinking that advocate was the closest but I think today sucker would be more appropriate.

 

[Elsie]

Architect? I don't know myself well enough to know which circle I should check to answer question.

 

[jujube]

I'm CTTR....Change the Toiletpaper Roll. Other times I roll between Consul and Entertainer.

 

[CallMeKate]

Hmmm.... Well, I would have guessed a cross between Defender and Consul... but the personality test (which I don't put much stock in, btw) said I'm ISFP Adventurer.

 

[RedAlert76]

Practical for sure...

 

[mrstime]

None fit me, lazy as sin!

 

[Feelslikefar]

I thought ISTJ at first look, then took the 'test' and seems I was right.

"Just the Facts, Ma'am..."

 

[Paladin1950]

When I was younger, I was the Adventurer. Hitch hiked across the country. Went to London 3 times.
Now I'm the Entertainer. Every time I go to the nursing home to work, I entertain the residents.

Well they don’t have “Loudmouth Bully” or “Death of the Party” so maybe you’re right?

 

[Marcy Sheiner]

I just took the test. It says I'm an INFJ-T. I believe I've taken this test once or more in the long ago past. Everything it says feels accurate to me, but as I've said before, I tend to be gullible.
