Myers–Briggs Type Indicator: What’s Your Personality Type?

I am ENTP, and I think the MBTI system should be treated with scientific skepticism, with enough studies to be researched before actually trying to self-assess your personality type. Unfortunately, the popularity of the MBTI system made it too mainstream, and many unenlightened minds lowered all the complexity of this system to the level of vague practices like astrology or mysticism.

I've always had an issue with the dichotomy of introversion and extraversion because I don't think they're mutually exclusive. I personally have a bias towards introversion, but I've enjoyed long conversations with many different people and I've gained so much ernergyfrom being around others, yet I still would say I'm more introverted.

I went from INTP to INTJ to ENTJ in two years

The criticisms I see may be technically valid, but MBTI seems a very useful intro to understanding. Recently discovered it, and seeing snippets of types, guessed I'm probably an INTJ. So I took the test and got ENFP. Very surprising, eye opening, and further contemplation confirmed that I think and respond quite differently than I pictured. Helped me understand a lot looking back on my life. Who we are, how we see ourselves, how others see us, are three different people.

ENTP here. After many decades of struggling to understand my place or value in the world, friends introduced me to the MBTI system about 14 years ago. It was a revelation, because by learning that my personality was described meant that it was recognised, and I was not alone. I learned that I was not abnormal, but part of a common group. It was amazing. I understand now that mainstream psychology is more comfortable with the similar Jungian OCEAN model.

Wow, this test nailed it. I came up as ISTP which describes EXACTLY what I do and enjoy as a mechanical engineer in my career. Very neat and reassuring that I'm in a profession that matches my personality type according to this test.

The MBTI is regarded as pseudoscience by the scientific community. My favorite quote regarding the MBTI is: "Most personality psychologists regard the MBTI as little more than an elaborate Chinese fortune cookie."

It;'s a shame to see nothing about congnitive functions on which MBTI is based

INTP personality 🙂✨

I started out as the INFJ=Defender Then, I took the test later and was considered to be a Scientist=INTJ. I relate more with the INFJ character type. Overall, I am hands down an introvert. I like people sometimes. I definitely prefer to adhere to my personal compass over the collective herd mentality. So with that, I am a pretty good at perceiving. Though I know how to hand down judgement separating the wheat from the shaft with precision. I consider myself to also be a thinker and a feeler. There should be a happy medium. All the acquired knowledge over time doesn't always maintain accuracy. "Brains only get you but so far and Luck always runs out." Thanks. Mystic Star Seed 777:hand-purple-blue-peace:

As a psychology student, I really like these videos.

Introverted, Intuition, Thinking, Persiving

I tried to find my personality types several times. When I could not pin it down . Then I asked myself a question, " do I really care about it that much ?

As an ENFP (probably), I don't need experiences because of my cognitive function extraverted intuition, so they really get confused because I'm an oddball.

I never knew what the Myers–Briggs type thing was, until now. Thanks, now I know. Also, I'm an ISTJ. Makes sense. :)

As an INFJ... my body is here but me soul is outside from this world... my physical body is a cage (doesn't means i hate my body, i know is temporary while on earth) everything had a pin with a point and i will searching for the detailed information. Marinated my brain with knowledge where ever i read it or heard it, word and speech matter to my inner soul, it vibrate my sensitive soul.

INFJ here...this was spot on me....I took the test and that is what I got.

I’m an INTJ, but I don’t see myself as analytical or logical. I like to have a set plan and schedule, also I don’t like complicated theories but theories that I can understand. I think of myself as more of an artist than an architect. That I might be why I scored ISFP a few years ago. I’ve always been drawn between thinking and feeling so I am somewhere in between INTJ and INFJ. For the most part, I make decisions with my heart and am a pretty sensitive person. I love to think of my own ideas but find it hard to come up with ideas sometimes. I’m sure many people have this problem where they see they have other qualities in some other personalities

I think it would be far better to focus on the 8 cognitive functions when determining your type, rather than using the letters (Like Introvert vs Extrovert < than Extroverted Thinking vs Introverted thinking). It gives us better understanding, since people are bad at self-assessment. Also, the extroverted types may be introverts by nature, sometimes! The only thing that determines the first letters is whether your primary cognitive function works inwardly or outwardly! (Like, Fi -> introverted feeling; Fe -> extroverted feeling)

I’m an infp 💞 (actually though, like it’s eerily accurate for me at least)
