ENFP (http://keirsey.com/personality/nfep.html)

33% Extroverted
25% Intuitive
69% Feeling
11% Perceiving

You are:
moderately expressed extrovert
moderately expressed intuitive personality
distinctively expressed feeling personality
slightly expressed perceiving personalitySeems pretty accurate, especially for a guy with a bubble-haired psychedelic avatar...

I've taken the Myers-Briggs several times for several reasons (jobs, etc.) and have always been astounded at its eerie accuracy, at least for me. That is, of course, presuming one answers honestly. As fuscia said, a person who knows what the test is looking for can easily skew the results. :D

Is it just me, or do the results sound like totally meaningless gibberish that can be projectively interpreted as anything at all? It sounds like an astrology profile bumped a couple of notches with numbers.

Am I missing something here?

BTW, you absolutely wouldn't believe the diagnostic nonsense that corporations fall for. Conning big business with this stuff was one of the great cottage industries during the Hi-Tech and Dot-Com bubbles in California. :rolleyes:

[lyceum]

I really could not answer over 90% of the questions yes or no, there were too many depends and maybes.

Judging 78% !! What kind of idiot makes up this rubbish?? :D

IMO the Myers Briggs test is deeply flawed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers_briggs

1. It claims to sort the entire human race into 16 personality types.
2. It is based on the intuitive thinking of Carl Jung - is his intuition reliable? Does it conflict with the results of modern psychometric testing?
3. In 1942 Isabel Briggs Myers used Jung's ideas and her psychologist mother's ideas to create the MBTI. The test has never been validated by double-blind experiments, and people who have taken the test score differently on a second attempt.
4. In my experience* trained psychologists working in healthcare settings do not use the MBTI, they have much more accurate tests.
5. I believe the MBTI can harm people by drawing their attention away from their social and family responsibilities, because it causes people to think they are fixed in a box and unable to change positively.


*I am a trained mental health nurse, and I have also taken these tests when I was ill with depression. I found the best book available to the public on personality testing was Know Your Own Personality: Hans Jurgen Eysenck: ISBN 0851170897. I think this book is out of print, but second hand copies are available on the web.

Interesting. I come from an pedagogical background (degree in Education/Social Sciences, taught for a while at various levels) where the test is used often. I'm surprised I haven't heard about the controversy before...then again, it's been several years since I was active in any form of educational psychology and when I was I didn't delve too deeply.

I learned something new today. Thanks!

You're welcome. :)

Me too -- "Forer Effect" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forer_effect) -- I knew it had a name, but couldn't place it.

My immediate association with the "accurate" results of this thing.

INTJ. We had to take this test in high school for some reason. (Maybe a slightly different version.)
I always come out as INT, but sometimes the last letter changes deppending on the test.

[me1on]

Here's mine:

ISTJ
Introverted- 100%
Sensing- 25%
Thinking- 75%
Judging- 44%

You are:
* very expressed introvert
* moderately expressed sensing personality
* distinctively expressed thinking personality
* moderately expressed judging personality
I knew I was introverted, but I'm still surprised to see it at 100%. :o

[Tux Aubrey]

I have done MBTI several times in the last twenty years.

In my twenties I was a very strong INTP. I married someone who was an exteme ESFJ. We are still happily together after 25 years!

Now I'm a moderate INFJ.

I have no idea whether MBTI means anything at all. I don't take it too seriously, but find it interesting.

[tigerpants]

According to the test, I'm an idiot.

I wondered where I'd been going wrong all these years.

Hello All

Myers Briggs, Honey and Mumford, Belbin's roles and a host of these 'psychometric' tests have a lot to answer for (I'm speaking from 20+ years of teaching here - nearly all teachers use a 'process model' of ability/atitude/intelligence)

Have a look at

or

http://www.lsda.org.uk/files/PDF/1540.pdf

for chapter and verse.

[hizaguchi]

These kinds of personality tests are entirely pointless. Despite the extremely weak attempt to disguise the intent of the questions, the person being tested can almost always tell which answer results in which ratings. It would save everyone involved a lot of time and trouble if they'd just come right out and ask you what your personality is like. Or better yet, if they wanted accuracy they could take a few minutes to have a conversation with you that doesn't start with "Tell me about a time you had to take charge in a group environment." and end with some pointless pre-arranged and memorized self-stroking story.

[fuscia]

whatever happened to the idea of hiring someone for their ability to work, rather than their ability to placate their fellow employees?
