Here's another test to help you deduce your MBTI type:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/surveys/whatamilike/index.shtml

When I took it, I came out as an INFP (spontaneous, ideas, heart, and introvert), which is rather neat to me. Getting a grip on the feeling function has been a quest that I've shared here some, and I'm glad to receive feedback that indicates I might be on the right track (at least with respect to a model that has consistently placed me as INTP up to now).

Check it out. :sombrero:

Your answers suggest you are a Realist

The four aspects that make up this personality type are:
Planner, Facts, Head, Introvert.

This test says I am a realist, which is not necessarily or always true. I've had to adapt some realist things so I'm not quite so unrealist, but its for survival, not because its how I normally operate. Its not true at all that I live for schedules. But I did make "lists" of that picture, so thats what they are basing that on I think.



Summary of Realists
Loyal and steady workers who meet deadlines
Believe in established rules and respect facts
Think of themselves as mature, stable and conscientious
May appear too logical or tough-minded and forget their impact on other people
More about Realists
Realists are loyal to the people around them and work hard to keep their promises. They are honest and straightforward with others and expect the same in return. Realists believe in standard procedures and will only support change when there is a demonstrable benefit.


Realists are the most common personality type in the UK, according to a nationwide survey.
Realists respect factual information, which they store up to use when making decisions. This group likes to have time to think quietly and carefully before taking action.

These extremely productive people like to be occupied in their leisure time with pursuits such as craftwork, hiking or reading.

In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Realists may become obsessed with schedules, critical of others or have trouble trusting other people to get the job done properly. Under extreme stress, Realists may complain loudly that events have taken a turn for the worse and predict negative outcomes.

Realists typically only share their opinions or personal experiences with trusted friends.

Realist Careers
Realists are attracted to jobs where decision making based on factual knowledge and experience is required.

(I'm an Accountant, which sounds realist, because I have an interest in money, and because I am so 'P' that I drastically needed something to balance that dreamer side of me out, so studied an area I had far to go in, and it worked to round me out some, but my core is still INTP for sure).

Your answers suggest you are a Strategist
The four aspects that make up this personality type are:

spontaneous, ideas, head, introvert

Summary of Strategists
Quiet, easy-going and intellectually curious
Use logical, objective thinking to find original solutions to problems
Think of themselves as bright, logical and individualistic
May be impractical, forgetting practical issues, such as paying bills or doing the shopping

My head/heart distribution is 2/3...and my degree of thinking on the T/F scale wasn't very high the first time I took the MBTI either...

It makes an INTP/9w1 spread more believable from my current rational standpoint. :sombrero:

Interesting to note that Strategist seems the most common result in the statistics. Not typical if this is supposed to align with INTP. Of course, this is likely to be skewed by the old "strategist" being the most likely to take online personality tests axiom.

I think that NT and NF personality types are the most likely to take online personality tests. Stats I've seen on other sites usually vary with either INTP, INFP, ENFP, or INTJ being the most common. Just looking at the online communities, we are much more highly represented on the web compared to SJs and SPs.

Eh...I see.
Maybe this has to do with the fact that I would like to direct plays one day...mainly I can just "direct" people naturally...but I don't like to do it unless I have to.

So confused right now. I am taking it again.

Edit: Idealist, I think I am hanging out too much with my ISFJ brother...O.O

Strategist. Nothing new there.

I really liked their questions. They provided a lot of options and didn't just go with the typical T/F questions - I remember they had options like, "reach a decision logically," as well as "go with whatever fits with your principles." Some tests seem to have those two options both lead to T-ness, but this test differentiated between them.

Well, I tested Idealist (INFP), but I was pretty borderline on the thinking/feeling questions; and I've always been pretty borderline T/F.

I did like this thing they had under strategist, though.


Sometimes they like thinking of a solution to a problem more than taking practical steps to solve it.

I do that all the time. Sometimes it takes me five minutes to do a problem that someone else could do in 30 seconds, just because I try to find better ways to do it. Or I get distracted. :)

Strategist.

I liked the way they worded the questions, though. Although I was aware that I was choosing for the MBTI preferences, they worded the questions in such a way that I knew I wasn't "cooking" the answers.

If I can do one of these tests and honestly address the questions as objectively as possible without a lot of humming and hawing: I think that's a well-written test.

I knew one of my friends who deliberated *at length* over all the questions on the human metrics test. Previously, I told him he was an INTP, and he tested as INTP. He went back and changed every single question he wasn't sure about, and came out: INTP with a weaker T; almost INXP. He then proceeded to construct a logical argument as to how the test could contain many invalidities.

I think he just didn't want me telling him what his type was. . .

Resolvers

The four aspects that make up this personality type are:

Summary of Resolvers

Good at getting to the heart of a problem and quickly finding a solution
Make rational decisions using the facts available
Think of themselves as understanding, stable and easy-going
May focus on short-term results and lose sight of the big picture

More about Resolvers

Resolvers are independent people who quietly learn how things work by analysing large amounts of information. Should a problem arise, they solve it with as little fuss as possible. Resolvers are only interested in abstract ideas, if they can be used to solve a problem quickly.

Resolvers have changed jobs most frequently since leaving full-time education, according to a UK survey.

Resolvers like to take risks: Many of them seek jobs and pastimes that put them in harm's way and guarantee an adrenaline rush.

Resolvers are often tolerant of behaviour different to their own as long as their values aren't compromised. They sometimes give the impression that they agree with other peoples' viewpoints because they don't actively disagree.

In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Resolvers may become cynical, negatively critical or put off decisions. Under extreme stress, Resolvers could be prone to inappropriate, tearful outbursts.

Resolvers are quiet and sometimes it is difficult to get to know them; however, they often talk freely about subjects they understand well.

Resolver Careers

Resolvers are often drawn to hands-on jobs that require an analytical mind and careful organisation of large amounts of data.

Idealist - INFP

spontaneous, ideas, hearts, introvert


Make sense of the world using inner values
Focus on personal growth and the growth of others
Think of themselves as bright, forgiving and curious
May sometimes appear stubborn


Idealists put time and energy into developing personal values that they use as a guide through life. They may seek fulfilment by helping others improve themselves and often want to make the world a better place. Idealists only share their inner values with people they respect.

Summary of Masterminds
Visionaries who put energy into achieving their goals
Prefer to work independently and dislike inefficiency
Think of themselves as logical, thorough, and bright
Values practicality and common sense above ideas and theories

More about Masterminds
Masterminds create a vision for the future by gathering and organising information. They then develop strategies to achieve their goals. They have a rare gift for looking at almost anything and seeing how it can be improved. These skills and the Masterminds' high standards often allow them to reach leadership positions at work.

Mastermind is the least common personality type in the UK, according to a nationwide survey.
Masterminds value independence and prefer to work on their own. Once they have decided on a course of action, Masterminds rarely change their minds, although they can be persuaded by clear reasoning by someone they respect.

In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Masterminds may cut themselves off from a group and criticize people who don't understand their plans. Under extreme stress, Masterminds may overindulge in sensory experiences like eating, shopping or watching television.

Masterminds often have an unusual sense of humour, which arises from their ability to spot surprising links between seemingly unconnected facts.

Mastermind Careers
Masterminds are drawn to jobs requiring logical analysis or abstract thinking common in science or technical fields.

It's important to remember that no survey can predict personality type with 100 percent accuracy. Experts say that we should use personality type to better understand ourselves and others, but shouldn't feel restricted by our results.

Summary of Nurturers
Care for the important people in their lives
Strive for harmony and avoid confrontation
Think of themselves as gentle, conscientious, and mature
May have trouble making decisions that could hurt others
More about Nurturers
Nurturers are quiet people who believe in order and diligently look after the people they care about. They focus on the needs of others and establish routines to help them meet their commitments.


Nurturers are the most likely group to say they prefer a job where the same thing happens every day, according to a UK survey.
Nurturers remember details that are important to them, such as their friends' birthdays and anniversaries. People with this personality type value others' feelings and may challenge behaviour they think is insensitive.

In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Nurturers may feel bitter and seek support by complaining to their colleagues. Under extreme stress, Nurturers may become preoccupied with the worst possible outcome and believe that they are heading for disaster.

Because they are so caring and loyal, Nurturers run the risk of being taken advantage of.

Nurturer Careers
Nurturers are often drawn to jobs that allow them to help others.

It's important to remember that no survey can predict personality type with 100 percent accuracy. Experts say that we should use personality type to better understand ourselves and others, but shouldn't feel restricted by our results.

The Big Thinkers (ENTPs) left their shopping behind in the supermarket in the television show. It's a side effect of the Ideas-Spontaneous traits. The Idealist (INFP) test group demonstrated a greater level of forgetfulness.

Idealist. No surprises there.

One off being Strategist. I get split on the heads/hearts questions due to using both methods.

Strategist, though I didn't like the questions. There were too many where I would have answered differently to the given options

I got Realist, not enough ideas apparently for what my true temperament is.
Not sure how my shopping and vacation habits deduce that since I haven't been on vacation in years and don't typically venture to supermarkets unless my wife is incapacitated in child birth.

They say most Brits are Realists, so that's good to know. I think it makes me happy, anyway.

EDIT: I took it again answering with my alternate for all the questions where I thought that no single answer fitted better and I got Resolver.

Better than "the Decider" I guess ;)
