Default What types have these traits?

What Type Am I?

Another small thought excersize. I've taken some of the facts from this thread and copied three over. Guess what type the person is! (Spoiler tag - highlight for an answer!)

-=-=-=-

1) I love watching films, especially documentaries, with a group of friends who apply critical thinking, and discuss them.
2) I love economics, science and history and understanding social dynamics.
3) I love games, board games, card games, playing sports games, computer games, video games. In fact I won a trophy and beat out 130 people in Texas Holdem while dressed very over the top girly! I am a jackass winner but a good loser.

Spoiler: Ladypinkgton, INFJ

-=-=-=-

1) I am procrastinating again.
2) I have trouble counting in my head.
3) I usually listen to jazz music, but couldn't tell you who the artist is.

Spoler: ygolo, INTP

-=-=-=-

1) I began college as a math major and ended up as an english major.
2) I saw The Incredibles six times in the theater when it came out (five of them by myself). I cried almost every time.
3) If I was starting college over, I would have gone into psychology and possibly counseling.

Spolier: Jennifer, INTP

-=-=-=-

1) I play piano by ear and am currently playing (and singing) at my dad's church.
2) I am a finance major.
3) I used to play Tetris (for Windows '95) constantly, until I lost the computer.

Spoiler: RansomedbyFire, ISTJ

-=-=-=-

1) I'm shy.
2) I will never ever start a conversation up with someone new.
3) I am always typing people in my head.

Spoiler: Girlnamedbless, ESFJ

-=-=-=-

1) I don't spend much time online, and I feel awkward in an online forum like this one.
2) I speak four languages
3) I like crime novels and TV shows.

Spoiler: Developer, IxTJ

-=-=-=-

Here's a bonus one. I took INTP comments and ESFJ comments and mixed them together... can you identify which is which? These are the top 9 from each, so not even selected by me... which also means there are extra details that really have nothing to do with type. I did trim to keep styles similar. Spoiler is next to each phrase...

Keep in mind what causes you to think it is one way or the other. (It isn't a test, it's a look at our own biases and assumptions.)

i - I have trouble talking about myself.--ESFJ-2
b - I will never ever start a conversation up with someone new.--ESFJ-4
l - I began college as a math major and ended up as an english major.--INTP-1
n - When I was in fifth grade, my parents bought me the LP soundtrack to The Hobbit (Rankin-Bass cartoon). --INTP-6
c - I never let people merge in front of me on highways. --ESFJ-8
m - I saw The Incredibles six times in the theater when it came out (five of them by myself). I cried almost every time.--INTP-5
k - I became interested in Dungeons & Dragons when I was in sixth grade. --INTP-7
p - If I was starting college over, I would have gone into psychology and possibly counseling.--INTP-8
d - Blue eyes are my favorite.--ESFJ-7
f - I'm shy.--ESFJ-1
e - I refuse to tell people my middle name. --ESFJ-9
j - I have had only broken one bone in my life. Aside from surgery, I think I have only had to be sewn up once.--INTP-9
q - My father has been stone-cold sober for almost two years now, following 40+ years of being in thrall to the bottle.--INTP-3
g - I hold doors open for people.--ESFJ-5
h - I have a lot of jewelry but I'm not bold enough to wear any.--ESFJ-6
r - I have attended many different church denominations in my lifetime: Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran, non-denom, Brethren in Christ, evangelical.--INTP-4
o - When I was young, I had wonderful ambitions of being famous. Now I am not sure I really would enjoy infamy.--INTP-2
a - I have to shower before I go to sleep, or I can't fall asleep.--ESFJ-3




How many stereotypes invoke a certain type (ie: procrastinating)? How many disciplines have certain type stereotypes (Finance, psychology, technical)? What hobbies/games trigger the stereotypes?

FWIW, I've been typing for over a decade and I still allow bias to get in my way. Once we see one particular trait we ignore contrary traits and force a type based on our own steretypes... I'm about 75% accurate on my last round of self-testing at work, where we have some that have taken the formal testing. Almost every failure is obvious in hindsight. There is a lot of cognitive bias involved in typing individuals.
