INTP Personality (“The Logician”)

 

lolno

[Broganisity]

It called me an ******* and triggered me.

I don't have many mood changes... it's pretty accurate for me at least. And I tend to identify with ISFP, I guess (loosely).

 

From what I understand, MBTI is just about "preferences" anyways. It's not meant to pin things down too much.

 

If  a person is feeling happy, they will choose the answers that fit how they are feeling at the time. If they later retake it when they are sad they will get an entirely different score. 

 

It's accuracy is dependent entirely on what you tell the test. If you've taken the test before and you liked the "analysis" it gave you, you are more likely to choose those same answers again even if those answers no longer fully "fit" your personality.

INFJ PERSONALITY (“THE ADVOCATE”)

The INFJ personality type is very rare, making up less than one percent of the population, but they nonetheless leave their mark on the world. As Diplomats (NF), they have an inborn sense of idealism and morality, but what sets them apart is the accompanying Judging (J) trait – INFJs are not idle dreamers, but people capable of taking concrete steps to realize their goals and make a lasting positive impact.

 

NFJs tend to see helping others as their purpose in life, but while people with this personality type can be found engaging rescue efforts and doing charity work, their real passion is to get to the heart of the issue so that people need not be rescued at all.

 

So I am like what ? Modern William Wallace ?

 

hmmm.  .

Happiness doesn't even factor in most of the questions though. A lot of it is testing Perception and Judgement preferences. Not moods. 

 

The one thing I can see that is situational is Extroversion/Introversion. Like if someone is jaded or depressed, it'd reflect in the results on how they relate to people. But I think a real  Introvert doesn't mind social disconnect in the first place. For example, I haven't spoken to many old friends in at least 3 years. I've spent most of that time solitary. And I'm probably the most content I've been in my life.

 

I'm really not in the mood for arguing this so I'll just quote myself from the thread in the DAI Story section:

 

It has poor test-retest reliability, and the statistical data gathered from the subjects kind of disproves the whole idea of the Myers-Briggs "personality type". People's scores are distributed in a normal distribution, and there is no difference between the subscales.

 

The only thing that the Myers-Briggs reliably tests is Extroversion, but there are other tests that do it better such as the Big Five Personality Scale, which also tests internal validity that the Myers-Briggs lacks entirely.

 

Also this explains the Barnum/Forer effect since I don't feel like paraphrasing:

I messed around with MBTI for a long time, read a lot about it, I found this in depth assessment by Naomi Quenk on INTJ personality types to be completely fascinating and informative, about recognizing the importance of the inferior function.

INFP STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES INFP Strengths

• Idealistic – INFPs' friends and loved ones will come to admire and depend on them for their optimism. Their unshaken belief that all people are inherently good, perhaps simply misunderstood, lends itself to an incredibly resilient attitude in the face of hardship.
• Seek and Value Harmony – People with the INFP personality type have no interest in having power over others, and don't much care for domineering attitudes at all. They prefer a more democratic approach, and work hard to ensure that every voice and perspective is heard.
• Open-Minded and Flexible – A live-and-let-live attitude comes naturally to INFPs, and they dislike being constrained by rules. INFPs give the benefit of the doubt too, and so long as their principles and ideas are not being challenged, they'll support others' right to do what they think is right.
• Very Creative – INFPs combine their intuitive nature with their open-mindedness to allow them to see things from unconventional perspectives. Being able to connect many far-flung dots into a single theme, it's no wonder that many INFPs are celebrated poets and authors.
• Passionate and Energetic – When something captures INFPs' imagination and speaks to their beliefs, they go all in, dedicating their time, energy, thoughts and emotions to the project. Their shyness keeps them from the podium, but they are the first to lend a helping hand where it's needed.
• Dedicated and Hard-Working – While others focusing on the challenges of the moment may give up when the going gets tough, INFPs (especially Assertive ones) have the benefit of their far-reaching vision to help them through. Knowing that what they are doing is meaningful gives people with this personality type a sense of purpose and even courage when it comes to accomplishing something they believe in.

INFP Weaknesses

• Too Idealistic – INFPs often take their idealism too far, setting themselves up for disappointment as, again and again, evil things happen in the world. This is true on a personal level too, as INFPs may not just idealize their partners, but idolize them, forgetting that no one is perfect.
• Too Altruistic – INFPs sometimes see themselves as selfish, but only because they want to give so much more than they are able to. This becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, as they try to push themselves to commit to a chosen cause or person, forgetting to take care of the needs of others in their lives, and especially themselves.
• Impractical – When something captures INFPs' imagination, they can neglect practical matters like day-to-day maintenance and simple pleasures. Sometimes people with the INFP personality type will take this asceticism so far as to neglect eating and drinking as they pursue their passion or cause.
• Dislike Dealing With Data – INFPs are often so focused on the big picture that they forget the forest is made of individual trees. INFPs are in tune with emotions and morality, and when the facts and data contradict their ideals, it can be a real challenge for them.
• Take Things Personally – INFPs often take challenges and criticisms personally, rather than as inspiration to reassess their positions. Avoiding conflict as much as possible, INFPs will put a great deal of time and energy into trying to align their principles and the criticisms into a middle ground that satisfies everybody.
• Difficult to Get to Know – INFPs are private, reserved and self-conscious. This makes them notoriously difficult to really get to know, and their need for these qualities contributes to the guilt they often feel for not giving more of themselves to those they care about.

I feel like it fits me to a tee, but I can't help but think it's just like a horoscope where it's all kind of vague and wishy washy statements that could fit on anyone.

 

The "difficult to get to know" thing is ****** spot-on. During my 10th grade on continuation school I was very shut-in for months and then once I got to know my friends better and opened up more they were all like "It's so strange. You were so reserved and quiet for several months, like it was hard to get to know you properly", and I was just like "tell me about it. Not much I can do!"

[Fast Jimmy]

Hopefully awesome enough.

Nearly the exact same results for myself.

Well obviously it indicates that you are the exact same person!

Interesting observation: I hadn't thought of it that way, but it is vague enough to be like the daily horoscope thing.

I dunno if I'm quite the same in terms of being difficult to know: difficult to know well, maybe, though being autistic I guess that applies equally to figuring it out myself.

Er anyway, I'm guessing this test is probably more reliant on a person's life experiences than their actual personality.

It's reliant on how you answer it. Unlike other personality tests (Big Five Factorial or the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) the Myers-Briggs does not have any validity scales (questions that ask the same thing in different ways) in order to cancel out statistical noise (answers that contradict each other or are fabricated). As such, a person can fabricate enough answers (intentional or not) so that they will "fit" a certain "type", which is especially true if they've previously taken the test and (dis)liked their results.

 

Again I'm going to just steal from Wikipedia, but here's an article from Fortune Magazine (May 15, 2013 "Have we all been duped by the Myers-Briggs Test" - yes I know that's not APA format, or any format but I'm tired): 

 

"The interesting -- and somewhat alarming -- fact about the MBTI is that, despite its popularity, it has been subject to sustained criticism by professional psychologists for over three decades. One problem is that it displays what statisticians call low "test-retest reliability." So if you retake the test after only a five-week gap, there's around a 50% chance that you will fall into a different personality category compared to the first time you took the test."

Yes, but barring an actual clinician administering the test, there is no way to effectively completely eliminate answer bias. Besides, tests like the MMPI are great at identifying negative mental traits, but there is more to ones personality than the likelihood to manifest a given personality disorder.

If answered truthfully and accurately, the Briggs Meyer is a good way to self-evaluate the type of personality you have. However, people go overboard with it, assuming they can capture what people's behavior and success will be based on the results of the test, when it can be easily slanted or misinterpreted in its outcomes.
