I took it when this thread came out...didn't resonate. I took the same test the other day...meh, not very revealing. Just took the test with the above posted link...completely different result than a couple days ago. I have no fucking clue what any of it means. Amended Conclusion? A scam to get you concerned enough about your psyche that you seek the assistance of a mental specialist.
Gotta agree, I’ve taken this 3 times (twice with the link and once on paper for work) with 3 different answers.
How different? Did a 3% expression of extraversion become a 3% expression of invtraversion; or were there huge swings? Depending on my mood/the questions' wording/the position of Uranus in Orion I get INTP or INTJ with the P/J expression very muted in any case. The other three aspects are very consistent and strongly expressed. I wouldn't say any of this is a be-all-end-all, but it can be a guide to basic personality types (or at least a measure of how one views their own personality)
No problem explaining my reasons, and for disclosure I am not in this field and don't pretend to be, I have simply developed a nose for academic shysters over the last few years. MBTI is a classification system across 4 categories of stuff based on self-elected attributes. It's not reliable because as others noted you get different results days and even hours apart because your answers have no other basis than your self-interpreted response to deliberately vague questions which is subject to a range of things, including, shock horror how you are feeling generally and about yourself and even subconscious perceptions of yourself (status) at any one time, which has a bearing on how you've responded and particularly when the questions are so vague. And it's not valid because the scientific community and literature have accepted for many decades (~40 or 50 years) that the basis for personality type assessments in the field of psychology (vs. the field of work offsite activities) is actually assessed across the following five dimensions (I've shamelessly lifted this list from somewhere): Conscientiousness. People who rank highest in conscientiousness are efficient, well-orga nized, dependable, and self-sufficient. ... Extroversion. People who rank high in extroversion gain energy from social activity. ... Agreeableness. ... Openness to Experience. ... Neuroticism. Some of the above can be broken down further and assessed at a more granular level. My understanding is the way MBTI works and can appeal to so many people is based on social psychology or the Barnum / Forer effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnum_effect), which is basically the way horoscopes work in that they appeal to most people (but more women than men...ha ha) because they are so vague that they are invariably interpreted by the individual in their own way to make sense of it, that makes them seem much more personal than they really are. But it's all BS. From the wiki link above "In 1948, in what has been described as a "classic experiment,"[8] psychologist Bertram R. Forer gave a psychology test—his so-called "Diagnostic Interest Blank"—to 39 of his psychology students who were told that they would each receive a brief personality vignette or sketch based on their test results. One week later Forer gave each student a purportedly individualized sketch and asked each of them to rate it on how well it applied. In reality, each student received the same sketch, consisting of the following items:[9] You have a great need for other people to like and admire you. You have a tendency to be critical of yourself. You have a great deal of unused capacity which you have not turned to your advantage. While you have some personality weaknesses, you are generally able to compensate for them. Your sexual adjustment has presented problems for you. Disciplined and self-controlled outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure inside. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. You pride yourself as an independent thinker and do not accept others' statements without satisfactory proof. You have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. At times you are extroverted, affable, sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, reserved. Some of your aspirations tend to be pretty unrealistic. Security is one of your major goals in life. On average, the students rated its accuracy as 4.30 on a scale of 0 (very poor) to 5 (excellent). Only after the ratings were turned in was it revealed that each student had received an identical sketch assembled by Forer from a newsstand astrology book.[9] The sketch contains statements that are vague and general enough to apply to most people." TL/DR http://lmgtfy.com/?q=why+MBTI+is+bullshit Edit: I don't know why that image appears twice, oh well
I can swim...I'll jump off the deep-end. Astrology is like the weather. In a general (regional) sense, Southern California weather is great. Get more specific (El Centro), "hey, I thought this was supposed to be great weather here in SoCal...I'm roasting my nuts off". Those newspaper horoscopes are simply weather forecasts on a continental scale. Wildly general... Forget these self-administered psyche tests. If you want to know about yourself, you do the asking. Makes sense, huh? But who do you ask? Unlike psychology tests, the Sun never asked me about myself, let alone anything else. That doesn't preclude me from asking the Sun and/or the stars about myself. In order to do so, I have to know the time (hour/minute) and place (coordinates) of my birth or I'm just another voice in some massively huge ballpark with everyone else born around the planet in that time frame, give or take a couple days. What my actual time and place of birth does for the calculations (yes, it's mathematical) is pinpoint my seat in that stadium of life. It's from this pinpointed position only that a focused view of my life can be exposed...exactly what I see in the world (or don't cuz I got a shitty seat), exactly what the world sees in me (or not cuz I went to take a dump). If you think it's BS, do you also think the forces of the universe have no effect on Earthly life? Think about that...
OK... pretty damn lit. Took it again. INTJ Introvert(84%) iNtuitive(62%) Thinking(100%) Judging(12%) You have strong preference of Introversion over Extraversion (84%) You have distinct preference of Intuition over Sensing (62%) You have strong preference of Thinking over Feeling (100%) You have slight preference of Judging over Perceiving (12%) Looks lie about the same, maybe a little more middle of the road on J / P whatever that means. THe rest, same or stronger tendencies, I''ll tell you tomorrow if thish wash worth the hangoverrthitkG:Nd LOL
