Introvert or Extrovert: Which are you?

Re: Introvert or Extrovert: Which are you?

I got ISFP on that 16personalities website and after reading the description for it, I agree with a lot of it. Fun test.

Your personality type: ISTP.

Strength of individual traits: I - 24%, S - 6%, T - 1%, P - 30%.

Some famous ISTPs:
Zachary Taylor, former president of the United States
Tom Cruise, actor
Clint Eastwood, actor
Frank Zappa, the composer

There were probably 2-3 things that didn't match me, but the rest of the description was dead on.

Something I was thinking about yesterday while I was around family all day, but how much is genetics and how much is the environment? I know I get my anxiety from my father, but I was just curious about what other aspects are influenced by what.

A lot of who you are as a person is defined by the people and situations around you. It doesn't have to be that way, but the majority of people allow what others think, feel, and do affect who we are.

My type is supposedly less than 1% of the population. That't a little weird to think about.

Pretty awesome to be in the same company as MLK and Nelson Mandela though.

Pretty awesome to be in the same company as MLK and Nelson Mandela though.

But probably not so awesome to be in the same company as Mel Gibson.


Finally got around to looking at what the website says about ISTP. Some of it is dead on, some of it is way, way off. Guessing that's pretty typical for stuff like this though. Near impossible to put everyone into a single group.

rehash....

Re: Introvert or Extrovert: Which are you?

ESTJ......Pretty accurate.

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

Re: Introvert or Extrovert: Which are you?

I got ISTP, but I probably only agree with about half of it.

[Phobia]

Re: Introvert or Extrovert: Which are you?

I got ESTJ. It says these people are very traditional. That kind of fits me very well.

E - 12%, S - 10%, T - 6%, J - 14%

St. Peter, a disciple of Christ
James Monroe, a former U.S. president
Andrew Jackson, a former U.S. president
William Henry Harrison, a former U.S. president
Franklin Pierce, a former U.S. president
Grover Cleveland, a former U.S. president
Harry S. Truman, a former U.S. president
Lyndon B. Johnson, a former U.S. president
George W. Bush, a former U.S. president
Carrie Nation
Elliot Ness
John D. Rockefeller
Bette Davis
Barbara Stanwyck

Mine ESTJ was E - 13%, S - 57%, T - 25%, J - 57%

I'm a extrovert who is down to earth and like practicality. I'm stubborn but focus on things rationally. I'm assertive but emotional stable and calm. Last, I prefer clear rules and see deadlines as sacred.

ESTJ Weaknesses fit me perfectly.

• Inflexible and stubborn
• Uncomfortable with unconventional situations
• Judgemental
• Need to maintain dignity
• Difficulty expressing emotion

Strengths dead on too

• Dedicated
• Strong willed
• Direct yet honest
• Loyal and reliable
• Enjoys order, hates chaos
• Organized

ESTJ Greatest weakness is getting so caught up in facts and methods that they forget what makes others happy or of their sensitivity.

I even sent pictures of the relationship part to my wife because it was so crazy how accurate it is. Almost like they are directly talking about me.

Still an ISFP since the last time I took this back as a college freshmen.

INTP PERSONALITY (“THE LOGICIAN”) from 16personalities.com

Famous INTPs:

Socrates, Rene Descartes, Blaise Pascal, Isaac Newton, Carl Jung, Albert Einstein, James Madison, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Gerald Ford

Read through the description and most of it seems pretty accurate.

Gonna post a few things from the Wikipedia description that I relate to most in the spoiler below:

Spoiler

They prize autonomy in themselves and others. They generally balk at attempts by others to convince them to change.
...
INTPs accept ideas based on merit, rather than tradition or authority. They have little patience for social customs that seem illogical or that obstruct the pursuit of ideas and knowledge.
...
INTPs organize their understanding of any topic by articulating principles, and they are especially drawn to theoretical constructs. Having articulated these principles for themselves, they can demonstrate remarkable skill in explaining complex ideas to others in very simple terms, especially in writing. On the other hand, their ability to grasp complexity may also lead them to provide overly detailed explanations of simple ideas, and listeners may judge that the INTP makes things more difficult than they need to be. To the INTPs' mind, they are presenting all the relevant information or trying to crystallize the concept as clearly as possible.
...
NTPs are driven to understand a discussion from all relevant angles. Their impatience with seemingly indefensible ideas can make them particularly devastating at debate.
...
INTPs are often haunted by a fear of failure, causing them to rethink solutions many times and second-guess themselves. In their mind, they may have overlooked a bit of crucial data, and there may very well be another equally plausible solution.

Im definitely 100% without a doubt introvert. Took every test on the net as well, and they all say i am.

Re: Introvert or Extrovert: Which are you?

I'm skeptical of self administered personality tests. I just don't see a way to avoid confirmation bias. It's not a coincidence that most of us finish the test and say, "wow, that matched me to a T."

That's true but no one knows you better than yourself.
