Mistyping, how and why?

Dwigie · 10-12-2008, 04:25 AM

A few question for you people:
How many times have you mistyped yourself?
Why?(misunderstanding of the functions, "dishonest answers?")
Have you reached a conclusion?If so, what helped you determine your type?
Do people tell that your type doesn't fit but you do or the opposite, you tell people that this isn't your type but they insist that it is?

First test was dead-ass accurate.

So, it typed you as a dead ass?

Are you drunk, Jeffster? You're usually wittier than that.

I've always tested as INTP, and I feel it's accurate, but I also identify strongly with a few of the INxPs on the boards.

Sometimes I'm given very little to work with.

I tested as an ISTJ once, but I was in a really wierd mood that day and I had gotten no sleep the night before.

I always get ISTJ on the functions tests. Sometimes on the types test.

I freakin' hate the little slider answers, you know, the "very accurate-semi accurate-in the middle-semi me-not me". I never know what to put down and my results always seem to not match when I do tests like that.

The reason I get ISTJ I know is because I just express my Se when stressed. On the types test, if I'm having a bad day or if I am depressed I have a chance of getting ISTJ.

And on the functions test the very nature of the slider answers stress me out, so there goes their accuracy... I think it's the J in me that hates the slider answers.

Yeah, I'm INTJ. Mainly because of three reasons:
1) Reading about sensors I find myself not relating to it at all.
2) INTJ is usually what a I get when I'm not stressed.
3) I've read the INTJ description and even some of other descriptions (BlueWing's) and it seems to fit be really well so, I don't question it anymore really.

My mother tells me sometimes she thinks I am an feeler. But then again I am only a moderate (75%) thinker. And aren't all thinkers little teddy bears with the people they are close to anyway?

But nah, INTJ fits me well.

I think you should go by the type descriptions (probably the 'main' points) instead of relying on tests to tell you.
I think you know the stuff well enough, and know yourself well enough to be able to make the right choice in the end.
