Myers-Briggs Personality Types

Monday August 25, 2008 at 09:43AM

This is a psychometric test based on the work of Carl Jung and Isabel Myers-Briggs. Jung first coined the words introversion and extraversion ... one of the axes measured in the test. I have found it remarkably insightful, but then I am an INFP ... Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceiving ... only one percent of the population apparently.

If you are interested, follow the link:

www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes1.htm

I would love to hear what you think.

we must always try to be proud of who we are, Mme Bompoil the naysayer ... you probably know the quote about 'not belonging to any club that would have me as a member' membership will not be compulsory, héhé

Reading the analyisis of an ENFJ and comparing the results to myself was very insightful. typelogic.com/enfj.html
I was pleased to see one of our local poets William Cullen Bryant was an ENFJ as well.
I also learned I have more patience in the evening than I do in the morning. ;)
p.s. I'm glad to know Oprah's an ENFJ . There's hope for me and my dreams too!

Glad to see this Shi* =-)

INFJ on the test I did a few months ago, but as I mentioned to you I'd like to zero in on this on my next visit to Cambridge.

The reading I've done on personality types is fascinating as well as practical.
A nice way of defining... ;-)
Posted 14 months ago. ( permalink )
Shi*pro replies:
... and INFJ is a very close relative too!

I will let you know when the next Cambridge Jungian Circle meeting is!

Shi*pro replies:
... and a third 'Mastermind' ... well-represented here but again, like INFP and INFJ, quite rare in the general population! ... and I think many introverts come across more outgoingly online ... which is probably one of the reasons why we tend to like it here. Always good to see you!

That makes 4 INTJs, 5INFPs, 2 ENFJs, 1 ENFP, and 1 ISFJ ...

... only five out of the sixteen types are represented. Curious. :)

... in the general US population INTJ is reckoned to be 2.1%, INFP 4.3%, ENFJ 2.4%, ENFP 8.1% and ISFJ 13.8% ... our sample is very atypical!!

OOPS!!! sorry, INFPs (as already noted) are crap at statistics and indeed most forms of organisation :)))

ISTJ ... 11.6% of the US population!

... that makes 6/16 types represented ... apologies, my friend!

Ron Talispro says:
INTJ ... obviously.

Accurate. But I wonder how it works for asian or african people. An other sense of time, an other understanding of life and death. Moreover your stats are meant for american people. I would say north american people. I would not include Latin or Indios.

Shi*pro replies:
Interesting speculation ... of course, the results here demonstrate very conclusively that the stats depend on the dataset selected ... this particular 'pond dipping' exercise shows which types swim in these waters ... would love to know if the cultural differences you infer are present and, if so, how they are expressed ... hmmm, food for thought!

Welcome to the INFP circle, MacKey! ... I have beeen so surprised at the number of INFPs here ... must be something about the place that draws us ... and so many of the people that I have contacted, exchanged thoughts with, too. Makes one think, eh?

... and lovely to see you here!

MacKeypro replies:
so maybe artists are INFPs :-D does that mean we can call ourselves artists?! (please please!).

so i just took the test again, just because i was curious, still INFP :-D

Shi*pro says:
artists in the art of healing, wounded healers? Tell you what, you can call yourself an artist and I can call myself a poet! ... or maybe they are the same thing?

Which reminds me of the thing about a cat being an animal with four legs but not all animals with four legs are ... oh well, you get the idea.

There does however seem to be a de facto association between INFP and the arts tho' and you are indubitably an artist!

Does that do it for you? ;)
