Cool and sort of accurate.

http://www.16personalities.com

I got "Debater" with the following breakdown:

61% Extraverted
63% Intuitive
86% Thinking
71% Prospecting
69% Assertive

Based on as honest answers as I could provide, the only one I disagree with is intuitive vs. observing. My intuitive score is 15-or-so points too high, but overall, it wouldn't have changed the outcome.

Logician (INTP-a) (http://www.16personalities.com/intp-personality)

Mind: 47% Extrovert, 53% Introvert
Energy: 59% Intuitive, 41% Observant
Nature: 69% Thinking, 31% Feeling
Tactics: 36% Judging, 64% Tactics
Identity: 90% assertive, 10% Turbulent

–

After reading the full description I am pretty damn surprised at how accurate it is, or accurate of my own interpretation of myself.

I'm a INTP-T 'Logician'.

"The INTP personality type is fairly rare, making up only three percent of the population, which is definitely a good thing for them, as there's nothing they'd be more unhappy about than being "common". INTPs pride themselves on their inventiveness and creativity, their unique perspective and vigorous intellect. Usually known as the philosopher, the architect, or the dreamy professor, INTPs have been responsible for many scientific discoveries throughout history."

Mind: 68% Extrovert, 32% Introvert
Energy: 58% Intuitive, 42% Observant
Nature: 56% Thinking, 44% Feeling
Tactics: 46% Judging, 54% Tactics
Identity: 20% Assertive, 80% Turbulent

I'm an INTP-A "Logican" as well.

Mind: 27% Extraverted, 73% Introverted
Energy: 56% Intuitive,  44% Observant
Nature: 77% Thinking, 23% Feeling
Tactics: 21% Judging, 79% Prospecting
Identity: 66% Assertive, 34% Turbulent

I'd imagine most of the people on this forum would be in the "analysts" category.

I have done many Meyer-Briggs personality tests including those administered by accredited testers. I always get ENTP, so I guess that's me!

I like this quote from the results page, I can totally relate to this:

Taking a certain pleasure in being the underdog, ENTPs enjoy the mental exercise found in questioning the prevailing mode of thought, making them irreplaceable in reworking existing systems or shaking things up and pushing them in clever new directions. However, they'll be miserable managing the day-to-day mechanics of actually implementing their suggestions. ENTP personalities love to brainstorm and think big, but they will avoid getting caught doing the "grunt work" at all costs. ENTPs only make up about three percent of the population, which is just right, as it lets them create original ideas, then step back to let more numerous and fastidious personalities handle the logistics of implementation and maintenance.

In these personality tests I consistently get INTJ but in this one I got INTP.  :???:

I rather like the sound of that. Cynical idealist.
"A paradox to most observers, INTJs are able to live by glaring contradictions that nonetheless make perfect sense – at least from a purely rational perspective. For example, INTJs are simultaneously the most starry-eyed idealists and the bitterest of cynics, a seemingly impossible conflict. But this is because INTJ types tend to believe that with effort, intelligence and consideration, nothing is impossible, while at the same time they believe that people are too lazy, short-sighted or self-serving to actually achieve those fantastic results."

Extraverted: 69%,
Observant: 66%,

Role: Explorer
Strategy: People Mastery


    Insensitive –
Feelings and emotions come second to facts and "reality" for ESTPs. Emotionally charged situations are awkward, uncomfortable affairs, and ESTPs' blunt honesty doesn't help here. These personalities often have a lot of trouble acknowledging and expressing their own feelings as well.

    Impatient –
ESTPs move at their own pace to keep themselves excited. Slowing down because someone else "doesn't get it" or having to stay focused on a single detail for too long is extremely challenging for ESTPs.

    Risk-prone –
This impatience can lead ESTPs to push into uncharted territory without thinking of the long-term consequences. ESTP personalities sometimes intentionally combat boredom with extra risk.

    Unstructured –
ESTPs see an opportunity – to fix a problem, to advance, to have fun – and seize the moment, often ignoring rules and social expectations in the process. This may get things done, but it can create unexpected social fallout.

    May Miss the Bigger Picture –
Living in the moment can cause ESTPs to miss the forest for the trees. People with this personality type love to solve problems here and now, perhaps too much. All parts of a project can be perfect, but the project will still fail if those parts do not fit together.

    Defiant –
ESTPs won't be boxed in. Repetition, hardline rules, sitting quietly while they are lectured at – this isn't how ESTPs live their lives. They are action-oriented and hands-on. Environments like school and much entry-level work can be so tedious that they're intolerable, requiring extraordinary effort from ESTPs to stay focused long enough to get to freer positions.

Can't really question any of that. I seem to display more of the archetypal weaknesses than strengths. Read into that what you will...

Interesting. Similarly, every time I've done one of these Myers-Briggs things before, I got INTP, but for this one I got ISTP, which they're calling "Virtuoso."  :shrug:

Is your intuitive/sensing score pretty much even? Because they do fluctuate with the degree of honesty or, for that matter, the degree of caring on any given day, so no two of these tests are exactly the same - not for me, at least. I pretty consistently get ENTP(A) though.

I don't think it's very accurate for me, especially the description of ISTJ-A's. Most of it feels a lot like the Barnum Effect. Plus, many of the questions I had to answer neutral because I didn't fit either side.

Yes, they do generalize. Not as blatantly as horoscopes, but still. So Barnum Effect is indeed a factor here, but personally, I agree or strongly agree with much more of my personality type's description than I disagree or strongly disagree with.

Maybe that's not the way to think about it. We have far too many of one kind, that means we need less of them and/or more of the different kinds of people.

QuoteThe ENFP personality is a true free spirit.

Charming, independent, energetic and compassionate, the 7% of the population that they comprise can certainly be felt in any crowd.

Sure. Maybe...

Recusant, Davin, you guys are so nice, that was a very sweet thing to say.

No one, I don't know if flunking the test affected you as much as it affected me, but I'm gonna go burn some incense for a few days. I have Mango Vanilla, Candied Nutmeg, and...let me see...Ah! Yes! I also have Patchouli. Wanna go on a magical mystery tour with me?

I don't really see the barnum effect with these, I have read a couple from the results some rl friends got and reading them you could pretty much tell they weren't relevant to myself. Whereas with the barnum effect they should apply to most people. What I do see however is a clear sales patter, starts of with positives bigging up character traits to make people feel pleased then adds in some negatives, reverts to positives again if they can get a grasp of these, clear sales pitch writing.

The reason I said it was a lot like the Barnum Effect is because when I looked at mine, the only things that "fit" were things that fit most people, and the things that didn't fit, were things the would fit most people. So it pretty much just had things that would fit most people, though focused on things that were meant to be prevalent in the concluded personality type. It's been a few days, so I can't remember any examples, if I feel bothered enough, I might go back to get specific examples.

I can't debate next Friday, I'll be celebrating. I met my man 14 years ago on Feb. 16. Besides, I'm a lover, not a fighter, or in this case, I'm a lover, not a debater. Debating is not in my blood, I break out in hives if I do, it's very stressful, but I'm glad you enjoy it.
