What is your Myers Briggs type?

I got ISFJ a while ago when we took it freshman year in high school.

"Understanding you, Andrew

People like you are quiet, gentle, and caring. When people first meet you you may seem reserved and cool. But once you get to know and care about someone, you are warm and very loyal. You tend to be cautious about jumping into social activities and may resist trying new experiences. Instead, you like spending time with one or two close, trusted friends or spending time alone, enjoying the things that really interest you. You are considerate, respectful, and sensitive, and usually find tension or conflict between people very uncomfortable. Since you have strong beliefs about right and wrong and try to always treat other people kindly, you may be easily hurt or offended by the insensitivity or callousness of others.

You are also unpretentious and down-to-earth. You speak clearly and literally, and want others to be equally explicit in explaining directions or stating their expectations of you. You tend to be selective about things like food and clothing, are usually tidy and organized, and prefer to be dressed appropriately for all occasions. You're also careful with your money and possessions. You are probably blessed with an excellent memory for details, especially facts about people, but may find it hard to read between the lines or deal with a lot of abstractions. Since you like to make a decision and stick with it, you are often annoyed when plans are changed suddenly. You're not a big risk taker and are happiest with a predictable daily routine. While you want to please the people close to you, you are rarely willing to compromise on really important issues.

Note: Based on our assessment, your personality type is "ISFJ."

Your Strengths and Blindspots

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. The key to finding the best path for all people is by using their natural strengths and becoming aware of their natural blindspots.

Your strengths may include:

Thoroughly researching information and collecting relevant facts.

Making thoughtful decisions based on practical considerations.

Conducting organized, well-planned out research.

Impressing people that you are a hard-working, ethical, conscientious, person.

Being a good listener and not dominating the conversation.

[/list]

Your blindspots may include:

Being too humble, and not presenting your accomplishments in the best light.

Appearing to be less enthusiastic than you may really be.

Not being open to explore possibilities that don't fit your current plan.

Not anticipating how present decisions may affect you in the future.

Lacking objectivity when making important decisions.

[/list]

For a career to be satisfying for you, it should:

Allow you to use your talent for being accurate and remembering facts and details.

Let you work on tangible projects that help other people in some way.

Let you work behind the scenes, and not require lots of public interaction.

Is done in a stable, calm, and predictable environment.

Make good use of your conscientiousness and sound common sense.

Have clearly stated expectations and goals.

Let you focus your energy on one project at a time."

Weird how its mostly accurate. Not perfect, but mostly.

a LOT of INFPs mistype as INFJ.

Only half 1/3 of the INFJs in this thread are true to type. The rest are INFP.
 
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is overwhelmingly unscientific, let's begin with the pragmatic fact that neither Jung nor Myers and Briggs ever employed any scientific studies to develop or test these concepts, relying instead on their own observations, anecdotes, and intuitions; and end with saying that your MBTI score is hardly more meaningful than your zodiac sign.
 
In the way that if fools people it's clever, it was shown in the 1950s that 12 statements supposedly describing a person's personality will be accepted by 85 to 90 pecent of people. The Myers-Briggs forces choices and produces results that a person feels are descriptive of his personality. It is pseudoscience, and that's why respactable university psychology departments have dumped it in the museum of dead ends and cul-de-sacs next to the Phrenology Models.

I did it, and the description didn't match my personality at all. Clearly doesn't work for everyone.
 
Well obviously it doesn't work for everyone, its taking 6 billion people and placing them all in 16 different categories. Myers Briggs isn't even used in psychology any more. Its a nice model for some things but its not ever going to be entirely accurate, and if you buy into it then more likely than not your myers briggs type becomes self-fulfilling and you act in a way that you expect yourself to based on your test result.
