To be honest, I'm not thrilled about labels either :) I find it all very interesting and somewhat helpful as a tool, but I couldn't wrap my life around it at all.

Old poll, but I saw it on the front page and decided to throw my vote in since I wasn't a member when it first came up. :)

I'm an INFJ. The descriptions I've read are scarily accurate of me, though I suppose that's the point. ;)
 
I think that I am INTP. I have been looking into MBTI quite a bit this last year, since I was trying to figure out what career type might work out better, and after studying cognitive functions, it is what I came to and it did help me understand how different people process things.

I came across this thread in a search result, so I thought, why not bump it up again? :p
 
Major lulz. I took a couple of quizzes online and came out ISTP on one and ISTJ on another. But both IST*s report that a disfavored career is art teacher. They obviously never surveyed many arts teachers...specifically band directors. We're all IST*s.

To quote Liamson, "Don't take a test. Research it for yourself and decide what you are." Or it went something like that. Anyway, I took him up on his advice. I'm an ENTJ.
 
Liamson, I thought you might like to know it was THIS thread that brought me to this site.

So, thanks for that. :)

love,
ellie
 
Anyone else bothered by the fact it says Meyers not Myers? *eye twitches*
 
I did it a few times on different sites and always came up as either;

ENFP or INFP. Champion or Idealist.

LOL, I never actually noticed that until you pointed it out JUST NOW.

He's like us Liamson! Liamson is ENFP and I am the introverted version of him, which apparently ripples big differences that go beyond just introversion and extroversion preference.

I clash bigstyle with duty-fulfillers.

Innovation vs convention.
 
Criticism of the whole MBTI classification thing..

copied from Wikipedia:

The statistical validity of the MBTI as a psychometric instrument has been the subject of criticism. It has been estimated that between a third and a half of the published material on the MBTI has been produced for conferences of the Center for the Application of Psychological Type (which provides training in the MBTI) or as papers in the Journal of Psychological Type (which is edited by Myers-Briggs advocates). It has been argued that this reflects a lack of critical scrutiny.

For example, some researchers expected that scores would show a bimodal distribution with peaks near the ends of the scales, but found that scores on the individual subscales were actually distributed in a centrally peaked manner similar to a normal distribution. A cut-off exists at the center of the subscale such that a score on one side is classified as one type, and a score on the other side as the opposite type. This fails to support the concept of type: the norm is for people to lie near the middle of the subscale. "Although we do not conclude that the absence of bimodality necessarily proves that the MBTI developers’ theory-based assumption of categorical “types” of personality is invalid, the absence of empirical bimodality in IRT-based MBTI scores does indeed remove a potentially powerful line of evidence that was previously available to “type” advocates to cite in defense of their position."
 
We know that people are different.

Simply by observing them we can see differences. Person X is traditional, person Y is Unconventional.

Its not a hard science. But, its not far off from its intentions.
 
My MBTI tests have always returned INFJ results. I figured it couldn't be right, since it's supposedly a rare type, so I read several different descriptions of each type. I'm a real, legit INFJ. The descriptions were creepily accurate, and none of the other types were even close.

I do think I probably come off differently online than off, though that's just a guess. I'm always myself, but text will never be the same as spoken words.

I always get infj as well, and yes I read on a site like 1% of the population is an infj. So to see that the majority type in the poll...seems a little off. I have once though come up with ENFJ..maybe it was an off night.

However I wonder if people inclined towards religions or christianity tend to more be in line with the infj. That could account for that.

Also the description of the infj fits me perfectly.
