I have. I keep getting ISTP which is off base on so many levels.

[Biotic Apostate]

Me too, always get INFP. But I've read enough criticism on Myers-Briggs to not pay much attention to the score.

[Lady Artifice]

That's disappointing. Here I was preening about how much I liked what it had to say.

 

Of course, it's probably wise to be skeptical about most personality tests and quizzes.

From what little I know of you, the description sounds about right IMO.
Still, it is an internet quiz so take it with a grain of salt.

We were fine, but Belgium killed it.

I wasn't a big fan of that one. The Netherlands, on the other hand, had a great singer, but he chose a so-so song.

[Steelcan]

my roommate was a psych major and constantly ragged on Meyers-Brigg, she said there was a much better one that tested, blah blah blah

I just took this personality test, and I'm surprised by how much I like the results.

 

I'm INFP.

Strengths

INFPs are imaginative, warm, idealistic, and compassionate. They are usually open-minded and accepting, unless someone is violating one of their values. Ultimately, INFPs want to change the world in whatever way they can. They want to make the world a better place for others.

INFP’s intuitive (N) quality gives them the ability to make inferences based on their “gut feeling”. They see problems as a big puzzle, and are excellent at overcoming challenges. They often read between the lines and seek out the deeper meaning of things.

INFPs primarily focus externally, and base judgments off of their intuitive feelings. When they do focus internally, they base their decisions off of their feelings and values.

 

Weaknesses

People who are INFPs are often described as free spirits. They may get wrapped up in their focus on the big picture, and forget about the details along the way. INFPs may have difficulty following through on projects. They do not like to focus on hard facts and logic, and may have trouble completing tasks that are very detail-oriented.

Because they rely so much on their intuition, INFPs must be careful not to read into everything too much. This may cause INFPs to misinterpret a friend’s emotions and over-dramatize things. Others may come to view INFPs as overly-sensitive or dramatic. To avoid this, INFPs must remind themselves that sometimes the most straight-forward answer is the best, intuition is not always needed.

INFPs’ ultimate goal is to help others, however, INFPs must be careful not to neglect their own needs in doing so. It is critical that INFPs do not sacrifice their own wellbeing and aspirations to help others. They can also be very hard on themselves if they believe they are not living up to their full potential. Once they accomplish something, INFPs are very humble and will rarely take credit for their accomplishments.

INFPs always aim to please others and will do anything to avoid conflict. Because they are such people-pleasers, INFPs often seek out the opinions of others, but may have a hard time accepting criticism. They may become reliant on others’ approval to validate their self-worth.

Personal Relationship

Parenthood

INFPs understand that a great deal of responsibility comes with parenting. They are warm, loving, and supportive. Their idealistic nature means INFPs take the task of instilling strong values and goals in their children very seriously, and constantly aim to be good role models for their children. They always do their best to create a positive environment for their children, and are very warm and supportive parents. INFPs’ tendency to be a closed book can be beneficial when parenting. This allows them to selectively show children what emotions and behaviors they choose to. This makes INFPs great role models.

As they present themselves as role models, INFPs will also do anything to help their children grow and succeed. INFPs are willing to let their children make their own mistakes—they understand that this is part of the learning process. However, INFPs may have trouble dealing with children who are very difficult, and do not share the same values as themselves. They would rather focus on the “big picture” behind the rules, rather than being the enforcer of the rules.

 

Romantic Relationships

INFPs are warm, kind partners who are willing to go the extra mile to ensure that their relationship succeeds. They focus on their partner’s needs and feelings, and are very positive. They often seek out new and interesting date ideas. They don’t like to fall into a rut, and will always keep things lively.

In addition, INFPs are always looking out for their partner. They are very compassionate and giving, and frequently ask about how their partner is feeling. They seek out affirmation from their partner, and give their partner affirmation in return. But because INFPs avoid conflict and thrive on their partner’s affirmation, INFPs may have a particularly tough time dealing with criticism and admitting when they were wrong.

 

Friendships

INFPs are positive, supportive friends. They are always willing to try something new and exciting, and are very open-minded. They are well-liked by others, and are always concerned with others’ wellbeing. When an INFP asks how someone is doing, they truly want to know the answer. Because of this, they have no trouble making and keeping friends.

INFPs have the unique ability to befriend people who are either alike or different from themselves. INFPs are drawn to extroverted personality types—they enjoy learning as much as they can about someone who is an open book. However, INFPs can also be great friends to introverted personality types. While it may be difficult to become friends initially if both individuals are more reserved, INFPs will eventually form a strong friendship with someone whom they consider their confidant.

Work Habits

Although they get along well with their colleagues, INFPs enjoy working independently and creatively. They will not do well in high-stress environments or environments that require a great deal of teamwork.

In addition, people with thinking (T) and judging (J) traits may have a hard time working with INFPs. Thinkers and Judgers thrive in a highly-structured environment and are very detail-oriented, and may view INFPs as too free-spirited.

 

Career Paths

INFPs thrive in positions that allow them to be creative and insightful. They view creativity as a means through which they can express themselves. They particularly enjoy tackling problems that benefit others, and want to change the world through their work.

INFPs may have trouble in highly-structured careers that are full of routine. They may have trouble completing tasks they view as mundane—things like paperwork, or other administrative tasks. INFP’s self-esteem is often boosted when they come up with a creative solution, and are not well-suited for careers with a high degree of structure and regulation.

People with this personality type are often well-suited for careers as a writer, dancer, artist, photographer, counselor, human resources professional, teacher, or social worker

 

 

Has anyone else taken this?

 

Yep, multiple times and in many sites.. I'm always INFJ so I guess that must be true ^^

 

So.... Who else thinks Australia should have won Eurovision?

 

Since they wouldn't have hosted it I'm glad that they didn't. But Dami Im was pretty awesome with her performance, I have to admit

[Biotic Apostate]

From what I've heard, they would have co-hosted with a European country, if they won, so it wouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't mind having them host, but I get the time zones would be an issue.
Also, I was surprised that so many people were against them not winning, because "they're not from Europe," while forgetting about Israel.

Well Israel has been in competition since 70s so people are used of having them. This is first time Australia was competing and it does bring up some questions like should Eurovision start inviting other countries like US or Japan to compete as well. I do wonder if Eurovision is just going to become worldwide thing eventually cause they do keep adding countries ^^

Actually, it's the second time, I think they even scored quite high last year. Even Morocco took part one time, so the rules at this point are a shrug and "probably no one from the Americas."

It would be great to have this become a worldwide thing. Seeing as Europe is pretty closely integrated, which was the whole point of EV in the first place, it would make sense to apply the same concept on a broader scale.

They were guest last year and not properly competiting though. It has become quite big and not only about Europe anymore.. I guess it could become larger, but then it would lose it's European identity that it still has and Europeans would lose Eurovision from their identity as well. Cause now it's kinda thing that is "ours" and I guess that's reason why many don't think Australia should be included.

[SardaukarElite]

So from what I remember and quickly looked up on Wikipedia EuroVision eligibility comes from being in the European Broadcasting Area, or part of the Council of Europe, so it has always covered Europe plus a bit of North Africa and the Middle East. Hence, Israel, Azerbijan and so on being allowed to enter.

 

Australia is different. The thing is, we have a large immigrant population from all over Europe, and we have a TV channel, SBS, which was established to provide international programmes (particularly non-English ones) as part of embracing multiculturalism. SBS broadcasts EuroVision and it has had a healthy following here for a while now - complete with parties and brutal drinking games. I don't know how it worked out but SBS managed to make enough of a point (and put enough money up?) to get a special guest invite. 

 

(Edit) I'm not really in favor of it, but so far the results haven't been terrible. We did have to take 'mentions of Australia' off the drinking game though. 

[DomeWing333]

I always get INTJ for those personality tests. Mostly I think the questions just lead you into reporting how you view your own personality and then the results repeat those things back to you in loftier words with descriptions that can apply to pretty much anyone ("You are a nice person, except for the times when you're not."). They're more of a fun exercise in self-categorization than a real test of any intrinsic quality. I do enjoy taking them, though.

I mean it's not as if they'd add 150 countries overnight, but some new additions would be nice. A lot of people voted for Australia this year, so I think most don't really mind.

[Sifr]

Since Russia is allowed to compete, despite technically being in Eurasia at best, I suppose we can't complain that they decided to bend the rules for Australia. Might as well simply open it up to everyone if they want to join in, the more the merrier?

 

It's obvious that some countries intentionally don't seek to win (since it's costly to host), so I don't see why the Eurovision execs don't simply assign hosting duties on a rotor system to various Euro countries, while everyone chips some cash into the pot to help the host nation foot the bill. Seems like it'd be more fair?

[Jorji Costava]

Me too, always get INFP. But I've read enough criticism on Myers-Briggs to not pay much attention to the score.

 

I was reminded of the Forer effect, the tendency of people to rate statements as highly accurate descriptions of themselves, even though they could apply to anybody. Psychologist Bertram Forer gave a personality test to his students, completely ignored the results, and gave every student the same analysis, which reads as follows:

 

You have a need for other people to like and admire you, and yet you tend to be critical of yourself. While you have some personality weaknesses you are generally able to compensate for them. You have considerable unused capacity that you have not turned to your advantage. Disciplined and self-controlled on the outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure on the inside. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. You also pride yourself as an independent thinker; and do not accept others' statements without satisfactory proof. But you have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. At times you are extroverted, affable, and sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, and reserved. Some of your aspirations tend to be rather unrealistic.

 

The above evaluation is, of course, largely vacuous (For instance, do you know anyone who's actually thrilled when their goals aren't met, or who fancies themselves a total conformist?). He then asked his students to rate the accuracy of the description on a 5 point scale (with 5 as the most accurate), and the mean score his students gave was 4.2.

 

This effect is also frequently exploited by cold readers and other BS artists to give the impression that they know way more about your personality than they actually do. For example, I could say, "Normally you keep to yourself, but when the right circumstances come along you become energized by interacting with others." This statement has little content: It say that you're introverted except when you aren't. But because of the way it's worded, it sounds like genuine insight into who you are as a person.

So anyone watching the Euros?

 

Anyone watching OITNB season 4?

 

Anyone think that short clip of the asari from EA play doesn't look like a dude? Anyone?

We've been talking about it a bit in the general gaming thread. There's actually been a bit of debate about that in here. 

 

I'll say that I don't think she looks very pretty, but I also don't consider that to be a major cause for criticism. Not every character should be beautiful. 

[nightscrawl]

I think it's difficult to judge from one clip where she's making a face. I thought she was feminine enough, though. Then again, I also think Cassandra is gorgeous and feminine, and we know what some say about her, so...

I'll have to poke my head in then. Herp a derp.

 

Reminds me of the hullabaloo of the DAI ladies, sure were some interesting insults being flung around back then too.  

I also saw a 15+ thread complaining about asari eyebrows, ah BSN you're special. I'm a slowpoke, I just got back lol.

[The dead fish]

I'm watching the euros. I'm frightened about Italia and Spain. They are the strongest countries so far. I'm not totally relieved with the way France played its last matchs lately. 

 

As for the Asari, I like her design. On one hand, I am puzzled bcause of the reactions as if all characters should be beautiful, on the other hand, I don't see what's wrong with not finding the Asari showed attractive. 

 

i've seen some female gamers a bit on the defensive, telling to some male gamers who would like beautiful ladies to be romanced telling them to go find a girlfriend. i found that quite rude and agressive. We all want and hope something. It's fine to disagree but why the need to insult ? 

 

Someone even claimed that those who said they found the Asari ugly had ugly personalities. 

 

It's again something i don't understand on the bsn anyway. That's probably why I am much more colder on internet than in real life. People are unecessarily hostile or sarcastic, and it's popular apparently.
