how intuitive are you?

[Jezebel]

Here's an intuition quiz I found:

16...Barely made it, but I think this range would fit better anyways:

"If your total is between 8 and 15, you tend to mix styles but lean more toward the analytic and rational than the intuitive. Your intuition might be erratic."

As I tend to approach problems and search for solutions from a wide variety of sources...Not that I don't trust intuition, rather, as mentioned, I look for things in a wide variety of ways. It is surprising however, that when I do use intuition I am usually right, so "Your intuition might be erratic." is a very big 'might' for me ; )

I didn't like the test. Too generalized and too much of those "it depends..." questions.

[Tlalocone]

I knew this question was coming.:)

You mean I gotta tally this shit myself? Fuck that.

Yeah, I just have this gut feeling I'm about a 25.

28. INFPs some intuitive mofos.
Interesting, and I get what you're saying.

I happen to have read the book "The Intuitive Edge" (referenced on the test page), and found it interesting, even more so when thinking about it in terms of MBTI. On MANY occasions in the book, I found myself thinking "this author must be a serious P..." and I think this shows up in the quiz as well. The F preference pops up at times, too, but it didn't seem apparent as offen as the P preference did (to my eyes anyway). In any case, Intuition as presented by this author is somewhat different than iNtuition as indicated by MBTI.

I'm hesitant to accept the kind of mystical description of intuition that I've seen in many places (http://www.intuition.org/ is one example), and to some degree by this author. This may be my T preference speaking, but I think the T offers a good "reasonableness check" against a more abstractly mystical approach.

At the same time, in the book, the author makes an interesting case for understanding your own intuition, and advocates an ongoing assesment to see how trustworthy your own intuition is. Instead of being based on a quiz, it's based on keeping notes on times that intuition sways you, and analyzing how and under what circumstances your intuition is helpful. I can say that I did learn from it.

[holarchon]

25 -although the questions are so so... as stated previously, too many 'depends on' questions.

Nice post SheepDog.

I'm not either of the two, but there does seem to be a correlation of some sort between INFP's with a strong T or vice versa (I would put ENFP's in the same catagory, though not formulated) regarding 'that' type of intuition.

Yes, as an F I have less of that "reasonableness check", even though I am developing it as I get older (I definitely concur with the theory that your inferior functions improve as you mature). In general, NFs depend on their intuition for decisions more than NTs, and do think of it as something mystical. I'll have to check out The Intuitive Edge sometimes, it sounds like a good read.

Indeed.

[EmmaPeel]

I scored a 7.

If you total is below 8, you lean heavily toward a systematic rational approach to problems and decisions. Chances are you do not trust your intuition very much, perhaps due to past experiences when it has been wrong.

In evaluating these results, do not regard this test as a definitive measure of your intuitive capacity. For one thing, there are no universally accepted standards for making such judgements; no systematic attempt to determine either intuitive ability or style, including this one, has been validated with long term use. Also, keep in mind the points made in this chapter: you are likely to be more intuitive, and to trust your intuiton more, in some situations than in others. A high score on the questionnaire is a good indication of positive, intuition-enhancing behavior. In that respect, the questions can also serve as a tool for introspection and improvement.

[Huston]

16, this test must not have been made by intuitives, since the answers are set up in a simple dichotomy.

Although, I will agree with this discription:

If your total is between 16 and 23, you tend to vary in style but are more intuitive than analytic or systematic. Your intuition is probably correct more often than not.

What a poorly set up test; it feels like it's straight from some mag.

Hmmmm.

I see you're letting your intuition guide you on this one ;)

after reading questions one and two, something told me to check the bottom.

then after i did, something told me that if they didn't foresee this format and line of questioning leading to someone doing so, then they know even less about the subject than they first pretended.

conclusion: i'm paranoid

The necromancer gets hammered with a 7. Ouch.

Well, I guess that makes you an ISTJ.

you know, because of emma, i've started to develop a tentative theory that a person can be so N that the typometer flips back over and lands on a convoluted kind of 'super' S... causing the new S and ingrained N to constantly battle for control.

Or they just can't correctly type themselves. :) Emma seems very much a traditionalist.

with 'very much' being an extreme understatement. i think her 'condition' causes a paranoia that mimics intuition, and she's confused them when answering questions, but...

(couldn't just let my mind have fun exploring that, could you?)

But that test seemed rather geared towards INFPs being the most intuitive type. Most answers indicated that E < I , S < N (obviously) , T < F and J < P when judging intuition in their opinion. According to the MBTI definition of intuition that's stupid.

[ATPB]

I got 25 but I agree with some that the questions could have been better.

[Silence]

30, but then again i cheated&lt;_&lt;

[Eidolon]

lol you cheated on self assessment? oh well I get confused and give different answers at different times so I can't really jab at that one lol.

Hmm should I have weighed the questions more?

[Krill]

0.o

How do you do that?

[INTrePid]

I scored a 21.

[pangolin]

Anything that contrasts intuition with logic cannot be related to Jungian typology of any sort, since those are considered as being on separate scales, hence NTs being both intuitive and logical.

[Krill]

Hmmmmm. That's interesting. Are the intuitive and logical compatible?

Does 'thinking' equate to logic?

[Carebear]

Hmmmmm. That's interesting. Are the intuitive and logical compatible?

Does 'thinking' equate to logic?

I'd say thinking equates fairly well to logic based decisionmaking in Jung and MBTI. In these systems intuitive and logical are compatible as well.

If you however define intuition as the ability to read people (as in female intuition and as a combination of using Ne/Ni and Fe/Fi like this test seems to suggest), then the answer to both questions is 'no'.

[Kljoki]

I'd say thinking equates fairly well to logic based decisionmaking in Jung
In which case you would be wrong. Logic based decision making equates to Jungian functions completely, one cannot not use logic.

Unless you mean thinking as experiencing though in which case I'd say you are completely correct and your reference to jung is void.

[Carebear]

Sadly, my references to Jung are often void. :(

[Kljoki]

Sadly, my references to Jung are often void. :( No, I mean it was void as in surplus as in you could've referenced anything, politicians, cops, buddhists, anything.

How do you do that?

Pay attention to which answer is the 'correct' one and choose correspondingly. I hate tests where its blindingly obvious which answer corresponds to which end result, it makes it so hard for me to be unbiased in choosing the answers that reflect me rather than the wishful thinking option.

but i didn't really think much of the test thought there were to many variables like question 27, unpredictable people are: a)annoying b)interesting.if your experiences with unpredicatable people have been aggresive however intuitive you are b) is hardly likely to be your answer.im not trying to be picky but a few questions seemed this way.

[fairgeek]

20. And I had just analyzed myself to be analytic and logical... Guess it's time for me to re-examine what I thought.

[Nindy]

16, this:
you tend to vary in style but are more intuitive than analytic or systematic. Your intuition is probably correct more often than not. is correct.

[OliveRidley]

10.

If your total is between 8 and 15, you tend to mix styles but lean more toward the analytic and rational than the intuitive. Your intuition might be erratic.

I just woke up and there's no radio buttons, fuck that.
