I thought this warranted a new thread so here it is. Let's see if we can get the relative messages from the "Care to elaborate" thread moved over to here and then get some others to try this. I think it will be interesting.

Here is part of the message I posted to Lori regarding Hermione69's 'Fact'

Lori: I don't know for sure, but I would venture that INFP is the code assigned for a person's type of personality given as a result of the 'Briggs/Myers' (or similar) personality tests. You can try one for yourself by Clicking here and filling out the test. It will score you based on your answers and give you what it assesses as your personality 'type'.

You can also view the various types by clicking here and scanning down the page.

Hope this helps. Hermione69, if I'm wrong, I apologize. I've taken these tests before and it was the first thing that popped into my mind.

Ok, rather than disrupting the other thread, I've decided to copy the relative messages here:

Heyltslori Sunday, December 08, 2002 - 10:46 pm
Thanks Dra... that was interesting! :)

Squaredsc Monday, December 09, 2002 - 07:22 am
just fyi, but i am an ISTJ and proud of it, lol.

Weenerlobo Monday, December 09, 2002 - 07:53 am
ESFP for me - cool site Dra

Twinkie Monday, December 09, 2002 - 08:13 am
I am ISFJ......thanks for the site Dra!

Weinermr Monday, December 09, 2002 - 08:21 am
ISFJ too. Some questions could have gone either way.

Chiparock Monday, December 09, 2002 - 08:35 am
Squared, I too am an ISTJ but would love to be an ESTJ!

Webkitty Monday, December 09, 2002 - 08:44 am
I am the same as Hermione, an INFP.
I think it fits me as well as any of these computer generated tests could. Thanks Dra!

Squaredsc Monday, December 09, 2002 - 10:00 am
chip, same here. i have always wanted to be an extrovert(sp). but i hang out with a lot of extroverted(sp) people and hope one day it will rub off.

Spygirl Monday, December 09, 2002 - 10:21 am
I'm an ESTJ. I haven't done a test like this in a long time. I've done the full psychological version, but don't remember what I scored.

Hermione69 Monday, December 09, 2002 - 10:33 am
Lori, yeah, Draheid got it. It is my personality profile and it suits me to a "T" so much so that it was my username for awhile. Many people fall somewhere in the middle when they take the test so they may be a mix of profiles, but I am 100% INFP.

It's broken up like this:

Introvert vs. Extrovert
iNtuitive vs. Sensing
Feeling vs. Thinking
Perceiving vs. Judging

So there are 16 possible peronality profiles.

Web, funny that we are the same. There are not very many INFPs in the general population. I wonder what Viggo is?? :)

Fanny Monday, December 09, 2002 - 10:42 am
I'm an ISTJ just like Square because we have the same name and our birthdays are only 5 days apart. So basically we are the same person.

Squaredsc Monday, December 09, 2002 - 10:56 am
square is fanny.....fanny is square

Fanny Monday, December 09, 2002 - 11:01 am
Lol, me (Square)! :)
Twinkie I'm a landlord too and I feel the same way you do only more!

Webkitty Monday, December 09, 2002 - 11:08 am
Herm, I would suspect he's an INFP

When I got the results of my test, I wasn't surprised at that we are the same.

I noticed that we both try to be reasonable and flexible in our postings and opinions, (normally adaptable) but we will both take a stance when we feel strongly about something. (respectfully agree to disagree)

I don't mind being an introvert at all. I like to sit back and be entertained rather than be the entertainer. (I hope this doesn't mean I'm lazy, because sometimes I question if I am!)

Wargod Monday, December 09, 2002 - 11:30 am
Webktty, Herm, I'm the same and can totally agree with kitty's statement about being an introvert! I'd much rather sit back and watch others than have them wathcing me. I have never sought to be the center of anyones attention and things that do force me to be the center of attention (birthdays!) stress me beyond belief.

Fabnsab Monday, December 09, 2002 - 11:42 am
ENTJ, here...I'm a field marshall. I guess I'm not stunned.

HEyITsLori, And thanks for asking the question about what it meant. I was wondering too...

Marysafan Monday, December 09, 2002 - 11:48 am
It looks like I am a ISFP...and so far the ONLY one...I always knew I was a bit "odd". lol!

Heyltslori Monday, December 09, 2002 - 11:53 am
I'm an INFJ...and the only one so far too. <jumping on the oddball train w/ Mary> :)

Fanny Monday, December 09, 2002 - 11:57 am
I just looked up ISTJ. It says I am a cold, heartless b*stard. Cool.

Webkitty Monday, December 09, 2002 - 11:58 am
Woo hoo Wargod! Another INFP! Can introverts be competitve too? lol!

When I was taking that test, I knew I would be put in the introvert category, but I have a question for all introverts.

When it asked you if you were in a crowded room, (or something like that) would you tend to stand along the edge or be in the middle?

I said be in the middle. To me, standing along the edge would draw MORE attention to me, so, although I don't like to feel crowded, I would just get in the middle and chitchat for awhile, and then leave with the first wave of people to go.

Does this make any sense to anyone?

Whoami Monday, December 09, 2002 - 11:59 am
Nope, you're not the only one. I'm an INFJ too!

Fanny Monday, December 09, 2002 - 12:01 pm
Webkitty, if I were to stand in the middle of the room, I would feel entirely exposed and vulnerable. If I'm at the edge there are fewer people around me and I can slip out more easily without making a splash. But what do I know, I'm just a cold heartless b*stard. :)

Heyltslori Monday, December 09, 2002 - 12:02 pm
Whew! Yay! <high five to Whoami> :)

Fanny Monday, December 09, 2002 - 12:08 pm
Hey Other Half (Square)..I got married at an air force chapel which is not much different from a courthouse. I hope your DH is not a Leo.

Halfunit Monday, December 09, 2002 - 12:14 pm
<This Half is getting worried about the other Halfs>

Webkitty Monday, December 09, 2002 - 12:17 pm
Right Fanny, that's why I said I would leave with the first wave of people, so I wouldn't make a splash.

And if the room was crowded, then I wouldn't be exposed, just hemmed in, lol!!

But all of us crowded in the middle would be looking around the room to the sculkers sneaking out, J/K!!!!!!!!!!!! (and your not a cold hearted b@stard)

Where'd you find the celebrities that were the same type as you? Or shall I assume there are no celebrities that are INFJ?

i'm an INFJ. and, i have to think about it. it feels accurate, but i never considered a few of the items. but, i have to admit that i could be found engaged in this type of behavior listed.

i giggled when i read question #50. cause, i know everyone in here answered truthfully (YES) – you feel involved when watching TV soaps.

WHAT do the four Strength of the preferences % numbers mean? 11 56 33 11

editted: oh, i see what each number stands for.

I took the test but then got an error page over and over and couldn't get the results.

My answers would have been different before my disabilty kicked in. Things that didn't bother me before, like crowds and noises, do bother me now.
Maybe the site was overloaded with all the people from here going there to take the test?

Cyn

Monday, December 09, 2002 - 04:08 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Mygetaway, I know what you mean about different answers. Since I started not feeling so well, many things bother me that never did and things that used to, have no affect on me now. My priorities are much more in order and the noize and stuff just distracts me. i'm gonna take this test later in the week, and see if i stay consistent with my answers.

it's fun. try later if you can't get in now.

Add me to the list of ISTJ's!

At Emode, over half the people are extroverts. I wonder if introverts are more apt to hang out on message boards? We seem to have the edge here.

Cyn, your profile is fluid. At different times in your life, you may test different ways. I've tested as an INFP every time I've taken it and I took it for the first time 10 years ago, but a lot of people vacillitate between several types for different and very valid reasons. Your illness would definitely be a factor. Another example is sometimes when people become parents, they find their preferences and perspectives changing. Extroverts may become introverts. That's why if you are borderline in one area, you should read the profile for the other as well. For example, my mom tests as an ISTJ, but also fits the ISFJ profile because her F/T answers are not decisively one way or the other.

I'm going to take ten minutes and make a list of who's who.

Cyn

Monday, December 09, 2002 - 05:12 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Plus, several of the questions I really need to consider more thoroughly. A few I never considered before, so I'm going to take the time to observe myself with these questions in mind.

Another problem I encountered with the test is the wording. For example: Do you do things in a hurry? Whay exactly does in a hurry mean... with haste or promptitude?
