How much do you relate to your type's profile?

[EcK]

ENTP:
- Clever : yes, but seriously who tells 'i'm a 10 at clever' without losing some credibility points
- Verbally, and cerebrally (is that actually a word?) quick. 8?
- Love to argue, often to show off their skills - 10
- Perverse Sense of Humor - 8
- Enjoy playing the Devils Advocate - 10 Anybody who tries to understand anything should do that, otherwise ur just heading for heavy bias land. Or caring about people *shudders*
- Can confuse or hurt those who don't understand arguing as a sport - 7 - I'm getting better at knowing when people 'll get hurt, it's just that I don't always care.
- Innovative and ingenious at problem solving - 8 yes? Well relatively to people around me i'd give it a 10,
- Occasionally outsmart themselves - ? that's more of an empty formula than anything else, Ne isn't taking mushrooms, it's just finding/making connections
- Cut corners with little regard for rules - 10 as a lifestyle, yes
- Over ambitious, to the point that it can test the breaking point - I don't, know? 4 ?
- Fond of toys, the more sophisticated the better, tend to get bored of them quickly and move on to newer ones - 10!
- Optimistic, but tend to become extremely petulant about small setbacks and inconveniences - again 10, i can be extremely sensitive about small things concerning my own vision of confort and am all cheerful and positive in situation that'd make most people depressive.
- Major setbacks are regarded as challenges, and tackled with determination 10 actually you can only motivate me to do something boring , such as college work when there's only 6 hours left and 'it's just not feasible!!'
- ENTPs have little patience with those they consider wrongheaded or unintelligent, and show little restraint in demonstrating this. 10, i used to enjoy puting people down, but i became too blasé, i only do it when it's some sort of a minor challenge
- Tend to be extremely genial, if not charming, when not being harassed by life in general. 10 yes people find me extremely charming when life's good, otherwise i'm really not a people person until i get my shit back on tracks
- Capable of bonding very closely and, initially, suddenly, with their loved ones
- Appear to be deceptively offhand with their nearest and dearest 10 oh yes
- Good at acquiring friends who are as clever and entertaining as they are. 9 yup when i feel like it i'm really good at making new friends, tho when life sucks i just, don't feel like it at all.
- ENTPs tend to be oblivious of the rest of humanity, except as an audience
10 x 10²

INTP: i get associable at time so why not (no i'm not really an intp)
- Pensive & analytical 7
- Appear Detached 10 at times, but the opposite when i'm in social mode
- Oblivious to the world around them 4 ? I don't know, it's a wierd question
- Precise about descriptions and often correct others 2
- Amendable and easy going until their principles are violated, in which case they become outspoken and inflexible, and then return back to normal to avoid the spotlight. Well, I do have a few principles about my idea of fairness, and they are like, the one thing i take seriously at all so 9
- Have a haunting sense of impending failure and spend a considerable time second guessing themselves no? 0
- An INTP arguing a point may very well be trying to convince himself as much as his opposition 1? Well i use arguing as a way to think, i don't prepare what i say, but convincing myself don't seem like me at all, it suggests some kind of 'truth seeking'
- Thrive on systems -8 noo!!
- Concentrate and detach until time is forgotten and extraneous stimuli is held at bay - 0 i'm utterly incapable of this.
- Use of acquired knowledge isn't high priority 10
- Obsessed with logical correctness, mistakes are often because of missed details The thing about some logical system building lovers is that they tend to take too little elements into account and the extra rigorousness don't save them from stating utter small minded laughable bullshit.

[Lethe]

1. How sure are you of your type?
100%. I've experimented with other flavors on my own. Nothing is the perfect fit like the INTJ.

2. Do you trust online profiles?
Being balanced made the MB profiles ineffective when deciding my type. The functions were more helpful in figuring out the right shoe.

===========================

I never had the patience to sit through typelogic's INTJ description, but reading it now, it's spot on. (Side note: You can tell which types the author knows better! ) There's nothing I disagreed with.

[OrangeAppled]

1. How sure are you of your type? 100% INFP, no doubt
2. Do you trust online profiles? I take them as an individual or team interpretation of how the functions of a type are likely to work. Type profiles are kind of like caricatures.

INFP:
- Strong sense of wonder
- See life through rose coloured glasses No...I have an idealized vision of how things should be, meaning I see real life very critically.
- flora and fauna take on near-human qualities. We're not mentally insane. I don't hear voices either, for the record
- As children switch from reality to fantasy and back again (rug-rats style) I don't know about switching back and forth so much as blurring lines.
- Almost always develop imaginary playmates (as children) No way, but my toys were given complex personalities.
- Sees the good in anything and everything, pity even the most unlovable things I see the good, but it does not blind me from the bad and seeing the big picture. I can definitely be a bleeding heart.
- Extreme depth of feeling is hidden from others (often even themselves), until sparked Oh yeah....
- Struggle with the issue of their own ethical perfection The wording on this is strange, but I take it to mean I have a hard time accepting I realistically cannot live up to my very high standards.
- An INFP friend describes the inner conflict as not good versus bad, but on a grand scale, Good vs. Evil Yes, it can be very universal. Sometimes it feels like "me against the world".
- Have a gift for taking technical information and putting it into layman's terms. Yes.

 

[Athenian200]

1. How sure are you of your type? __%

75% certain.

2. Do you trust online profiles?

Somewhat. They seem plausible.


INFJ:
- Quiet Exterior[/quote]

Yes.

- Hold deep convictions about the weightier matters of life

I think so, although most people might not consider the matters I hold convictions about to be all that weighty, and think that I'm quite passe about many things that are actually important. Depends on your perspective.

- Gravitate towards the role of activists, are there for the cause, not for personal glory or political power.

Quite the opposite. I almost never gravitate towards that role, and if I do it's for myself or someone I personally value.

- INFJs are champions of the oppressed and downtrodden

Well, I wouldn't call myself a "champion," but I help them out when an opportunity to do so presents itself. Otherwise, I don't think too much about it. It's depressing, and there's not much you can do about it overall.

- may fantasize about getting revenge on those who victimize the defenseless

Sometimes, maybe. But I prefer to fantasize about a world where either no one is defenseless, or no one victimizes anyone else.

- Find the concept of poetic justice appealing

Yes.

- Acute to the motives of others, and not easily mislead

I'd like to think so, anyway. I think I'm above average, but not by much.

- Affable and sympathetic to most, but selective about their friends

Definitely.

- Believe that friendship is a symbolic bond that transcends mere words

Not really. That sounds a little crazy.

 

[Aerithria]

1. How sure are you of your type? 62%
2. Do you trust online profiles? No.

- To outsiders, may appear to have an aura of self confidence, often mistaken for arrogance by the less decisive

Heh, yep. 'Arrogant know-it-all' is my pet name given to me by my family.

- Start to build specialized knowledge systems at an early age, and often have many of these

Yep.

- Know what they know, and are very aware of what they don't know

Absolutely. It's why I can excel academically with minimal effort.

- Perfectionists

Unfortunately, yes.

- Near endless capacity for improving things that take their interest

I can see that, yeah.

- Pragmatic: ruthlessly apply the criterion: does it work? to everything (including social norms)

Yep. Unfortunately, most of the people I'm around don't tend to agree with me, which can be frustrating.

- Possess the unusual combination of imagination and reliability

I guess, yeah.

- Whatever system an INTJ happens to be working on is for them the equivalent of a moral cause to an INFJ; both perfectionism and disregard for authority may come into play, as INTJs can be unsparing of both themselves and the others on the project.

Yep.

- Slackers lose INTJ respect

Eh. Not really. I'm not as disciplined as I could be, so I exhibit those tendencies myself.

- Have a gift for seizing opportinities that others might have not known existed.

Yep.

- INTJs typically do whatever they know, and it's typically science based

Yes. I don't like doing things if I know I can't do them well. Which I think amounts to the same thing.

- Mask their unconventionality with surface conventionality

Only when required.

- can rise to management positions when they are willing to invest time in marketing their abilities as well as enhancing them, and (whether for the sake of ambition or the desire for privacy)

I wouldn't know.

- Find personal relationships difficult

Yeah, unfortunately.

- Capable of caring deeply for others, but usually just a select few

Yes. Partly due to the above, and partly due to the fact that it takes too much energy to care for many people at once.

- Little patience and understanding for small talk and flirting.

Definitely. Small talk is irritating, and most flirting goes right over my head.

- Usually extremely private and impassive

Yep.

- Want people to make sense

Yeah, though they never seem to.

- Willing to work at relations

If I care enough, yes.

- Use Ni to emulate F like compassion and such

With people I'm only ever going to see in passing (such as when I'm dealing with customers), sure. With people I actually care about, no.

- Characterized by their robustness, stability, and good communications.

Yep.

 

[Valuable_Money]

1 almost 100%
I forgot how I first stumbled upoun the test. At first I scored INTP but I never really felt like the profile fit me that well. Then I read the profile for ENTP and I knew that was me.

2 Im not shure If your refering to the tests they have online or just the profiles in general. I guess If I was to assume the "in general" version I would say, the MBTI types are kind of perfect in the fact that they are specific enough not to allow horoscope like foerer effects yet vague enough that a wide variety of people could all fit under one type. For what its designed to do at its core(categorize people) it does its job pretty well.



ENTP:
- Clever
a 9 just because I dont want to seem full of myself-
Verbally, and cerebrally (is that actually a word?) quick.
8 Im often described as quick witted-
Love to argue, often to show off their skills
8 Unfortunatly most people dont appreciate the fun of arguing as much.
- Perverse Sense of Humor
6 Im not shure what is meant by this, Im assuming by perverse they mean Twisted.
- Enjoy playing the Devils Advocate
7 I try not too just because it tends to upset people.- Can confuse or hurt those who don't understand arguing as a sport
8 I think my score is lower as I am but when I was younger this happened alot
- Innovative and ingenious at problem solving
7.5 I think this is kind of an overstatement but when I need to do somthing I do it well.
- Occasionally outsmart themselves
? I am unfamiliar with this saying
- Cut corners with little regard for rules
9 Its a bit of a bad habit but I do it.
- Over ambitious, to the point that it can test the breaking point
5 I scared a few people away from my group in science class when I started talking about launching a prothstetic stunt dummy through the air.- Fond of toys, the more sophisticated the better, tend to get bored of them quickly and move on to newer ones
10
- Optimistic, but tend to become extremely petulant about small setbacks and inconveniences
7 Yes but that is keepping in mind with the next one
- Major setbacks are regarded as challenges, and tackled with determination
10 ILL TAKE THE WHOLE WORLD ON MOFO
- ENTPs have little patience with those they consider wrongheaded or unintelligent, and show little restraint in demonstrating this.
9 Its not somthing I like admiting too but yes. Even when Im trying to be nice it seeps through that I thinkknow your a total idiot.
- Tend to be extremely genial, if not charming, when not being harassed by life in general.
7 Im pretty laid back.
- Capable of bonding very closely and, initially, suddenly, with their loved ones
3 I guess?
- Appear to be deceptively offhand with their nearest and dearest
9 Many people are quite shocked once they get to know me.
- Good at acquiring friends who are as clever and entertaining as they are.
10 I can tell the difference between a boring person and an interesting one, Its almost like a sixth sense.
- ENTPs tend to be oblivious of the rest of humanity, except as an audience
7 I try not to be but I do fall into this trap quite often, more often then Id care to admit.

[Cimarron]

About 70% sure of my type. You never know...
I guess I "trust" online profiles. I look at many sources and try to find the overlap or general trends, supported by my own interpretations from the base theory.

Description from TypeLogic (comments are in italics) :

ISTJ

Inspectors. -- I still think that's a good fit.

Keen sense of right and wrong, especially in their area of interest and/or responsibility. -- I guess so, with a really strong emphasis on the difference between whether I care about it or not. In other words, emphasis on that last half of the sentence.

Devotion to duty. -- I guess so.

Punctuality is a watchword. -- It's something I value, at least.

The secretary, clerk, or business(wo)man by whom others set their clocks. -- Probably.

Often give the initial impression of being aloof and perhaps somewhat cold. -- Others say so, yes.

Effusive expression of emotional warmth is not something done without considerable energy loss. -- Strong agreement. I can feel myself having to stop, brace, and build up energy when preparing to do that.

Are most at home with "just the facts, Ma'am."

Seem to perform at highest efficiency when employing a step-by-step approach.

Once a new procedure has proven itself (i.e., has been shown "to work,") they can be depended upon to carry it through, even at the expense of their own health. -- True, though exaggerated. And even then...I can think of one or two times where that may have been applicable.

Easily frustrated by the inconsistencies of others, especially when the second parties don't keep their commitments. -- Strong agreement on both parts.

Usually keep their feelings to themselves unless they are asked.

Don't mince words, truth wins out over tact. -- I disagree with this one. I try to be tactful but honest. If it's not necessary to be blunt, then I find it often more useful to avoid being blunt. This means withholding opinions or information at first.

Their grim determination vindicates itself in officiation of sports events, judiciary functions, or any other situation which requires making tough calls and sticking to them. -- I'm good at sticking to tough calls, but not always at making them. Especially not quickly.

Drawn into the service of established institutions. Home, social clubs, government, schools, the military, churches, these are their bastions. -- This has really never been true for me.

"We've always done it this way" is often reason enough. -- I must clarify that one by saying that what most often happens is me not even realizing it could be done another way until someone suggests it. That takes me a while to digest, and then...we'll see.

Threats to time-honored traditions or established organizations (e.g., a "run" on the bank) are their undoing, and are to be fought at all costs. -- I want to clarify this one by saying that it must usually be important to me, not just to society at large. Though a value for structure in itself may add to that as well.

 

[Asterion]

Yes, apologies to the sensors, I'm editing summaries in as soon as I have the time... I've been a little busy lately

And a fair proportion of the descriptions were reworded and such, some of it may be a little confusing. Regarding the whole ENTP outsmarting themselves... I have next to no clue wtf that means, I was hoping someone else would actually know

 

[kelric]

Oh, and firstly:
1. How sure are you of your type? 75%
2. Do you trust online profiles? Not particularly. Sort of hit-or-miss. Or "take from them what you can, and ignore the rest". Not like it's an exact science anyway.

INTP:
- Pensive & analytical (9)
- Appear Detached (9)
- Oblivious to the world around them (7)
- Precise about descriptions and often correct others (9)
- Amendable and easy going until their principles are violated, in which case they become outspoken and inflexible, and then return back to normal to avoid the spotlight. (9)
- Have a haunting sense of impending failure and spend a considerable time second guessing themselves (8)
- An INTP arguing a point may very well be trying to convince himself as much as his opposition (5)
- Thrive on systems (8)
- Concentrate and detach until time is forgotten and extraneous stimuli is held at bay (9)
- Use of acquired knowledge isn't high priority (8)
- Obsessed with logical correctness, mistakes are often because of missed details (7)

 

[paperoceans]

I read my results out loud and had my mother & brother agree or disagree with such statements (they know me better than I know myself). I bold the true (T) and left the false in normal font.

ENTP:
- Clever
- Verbally, and cerebrally (is that actually a word?) quick.
- Love to argue, often to show off their skills
- Perverse Sense of Humor
- Enjoy playing the Devils Advocate
- Can confuse or hurt those who don't understand arguing as a sport

- Appear to be deceptively offhand with their nearest and dearest
- Good at acquiring friends who are as clever and entertaining as they are.
- ENTPs tend to be oblivious of the rest of humanity, except as an audience

She agreed especially with the last statement and the one that had to do with arguing.

 

[cascadeco]

How certain am I of my type? -- by this point, pretty certain. And pretty much everyone who has met me in person or who I've interacted with via email seem to have no doubt about my INFJ-ness.

How much do I trust online profiles? I'll just say there are many contradictions amongst various theories and proponents of mbti, esp. when people read into it too much, much more than they should, and since most of the sites/profiles are generic or else far too restrictive, I relate to little. Going off of profiles, or even cognitive functions to a lesser extent, I'm a combo of many personality types, and I'd say I'm not an 'extreme' INFJ when it comes to a few of the dichotomies. I tend to view all of this stuff on a spectrum anyway...there's a wide variety/array of flavors amongst each type, and you also have to factor in other psychological factors (anxiety, narcissism, other character traits not necessarily associated with any one particular type) that could dramatically impact ones behavior/perception on life.

INFJ:
- Quiet Exterior - YES
- Hold deep convictions about the weightier matters of life - YES
- Gravitate towards the role of activists, are there for the cause, not for personal glory or political power - NO, definitely not an activist, and I'm also not one who volunteers for any type of organization. I'm pretty introverted and selfish as far as that goes, and as far as externalizing things. I am like the world's worst activist.
- INFJs are champions of the oppressed and downtrodden -- NO, not really. I might empathize/defend/etc, but it's not my mission in life to correct society's ills.
- may fantasize about getting revenge on those who victimize the defenseless - NO, I don't do revenge
- Find the concept of poetic justice appealing - I can't say 'Yes' or 'No' to this.
- Acute to the motives of others, and not easily mislead YES, although I'll add the caveat that there were a few areas in life that, prior to gaining experience, I was incredibly naive about - thus one could argue I was misled or clueless.
- Affable and sympathetic to most, but selective about their friends YES
- Believe that friendship is a symbolic bond that transcends mere words - Eh, I don't know that I've ever verbalized friendship in such a poetic, rather melodramatic way, but I do choose my friends carefully, am selective, and with those I value/respect/love, I really, really, really cherish my relationship with them and perhaps because these connections are rather few and far between, they become that much more important/meaningful to me.

ISFP:

Not much at all really... Nope.... nothing.... It's quite astonishing that I have the nerve to type myself as an ENFP all things considered

1. How sure are you of your type? __%
It's one of 4 possibilities.

2. Do you trust online profiles?
They do what they should I suppose. What I don't trust is the subjective interpretations of them.


INTP:
- Pensive & analytical
- Appear Detached
- Oblivious to the world around them
- Precise about descriptions and often correct others
- Amendable and easy going until their principles are violated, in which case they become outspoken and inflexible, and then return back to normal to avoid the spotlight.
- Have a haunting sense of impending failure and spend a considerable time second guessing themselves
- An INTP arguing a point may very well be trying to convince himself as much as his opposition
- Thrive on systems
- Concentrate and detach until time is forgotten and extraneous stimuli is held at bay
- Use of acquired knowledge isn't high priority
- Obsessed with logical correctness, mistakes are often because of missed details


INFJ:
- Quiet Exterior
- Hold deep convictions about the weightier matters of life
- Gravitate towards the role of activists, are there for the cause, not for personal glory or political power.
- INFJs are champions of the oppressed and downtrodden
- may fantasize about getting revenge on those who victimize the defenseless
- Find the concept of poetic justice appealing
- Acute to the motives of others, and not easily mislead
- Affable and sympathetic to most, but selective about their friends
- Believe that friendship is a symbolic bond that transcends mere words

INTJ:
- To outsiders, may appear to have an aura of self confidence, often mistaken for arrogance by the less decisive
- Start to build specialized knowledge systems at an early age, and often have many of these
- Know what they know, and are very aware of what they don't know
- Perfectionists
- Near endless capacity for improving things that take their interest
- Pragmatic: ruthlessly apply the criterion: does it work? to everything (including social norms)
- Possess the unusual combination of imagination and reliability
Whatever system an INTJ happens to be working on is for them the equivalent of a moral cause to an INFJ; both perfectionism and disregard for authority may come into play, as INTJs can be unsparing of both themselves and the others on the project.
- Slackers loose INTJ respect
- Have a gift for seizing opportinities that others might have not known existed.
- INTJs typically do whatever they know, and it's typically science based
- Mask their unconventionality with surface conventionality
- can rise to management positions when they are willing to invest time in marketing their abilities as well as enhancing them, and (whether for the sake of ambition or thedesire for privacy)
- Find personal relationships difficult
- Capable of caring deeply for others, but usually just a select few
- Little patience and understanding for small talk and flirting.
- Usually extremely privateand impassive
- Want people to make sense!!!
- Willing to work at relations
- Use Ni to emulate F like compassion and such
- Characterized by their robustness, stability, and good communications.

1. How sure are you of your type?
40% but certainty isn't something I'm all that familiar with.

2. Do you trust online profiles?
Somewhat, but after seeing some of the results from this thread, it seems as if some types profiles are far better than others.

ENTP:
- Clever oh totally, I'm clever like those raptors that can open doors
- Verbally, and cerebrally (is that actually a word?) quick. verbally not so much, but I have surprised myself and others occasionally, mainly when under the influence I think
- Love to argue, often to show off their skills 7 I would have thought showing off skills was more of a crazy SP thing (sorry, I'm generalizing a bit there)
- Perverse Sense of Humor 7~8, humor's humor, I'm not fussed.
- Enjoy playing the Devils Advocate 9
- Can confuse or hurt those who don't understand arguing as a sport 10, well, sort of, but it's hard to confuse or hurt dominant thinkers, it's just funny when they notice that I'm arguing for the sake of arguing.
- Innovative and ingenious at problem solving 7 I don't know about that, it depends on the problem
- Occasionally outsmart themselves
I've never done it... maybe this was just a light-hearted phrase rather than a serious point on ENTPs
- Cut corners with little regard for rules 9
- Over ambitious, to the point that it can test the breaking point 8 at least when learning skills, or being challenged to lift more than someone else
- Fond of toys, the more sophisticated the better, tend to get bored of them quickly and move on to newer ones 10 I remember really really liking gears when I was younger and I'd mess with them wishing that I'd come up with something bizarre and new
- Optimistic, but tend to become extremely petulant about small setbacks and inconveniences: 4 I've found that I'm really laid back more than anything, with a small mix of optimism in most cases. but there are some things that scare me, and I subconsciously conjure the worst outcomes, I need to step back and override them when that happens.
- Major setbacks are regarded as challenges, and tackled with determination 9 but they're only treated as such until a certain point it seems
- ENTPs have little patience with those they consider wrongheaded or unintelligent, and show little restraint in demonstrating this. 3 though I'm surrounded by rather intelligent people most of the time
- Tend to be extremely genial, if not charming, when not being harassed by life in general. 8
- Capable of bonding very closely and, initially, suddenly, with their loved ones: I donno about that
- Appear to be deceptively offhand with their nearest and dearest: nah, no way
- Good at acquiring friends who are as clever and entertaining as they are. 5
- ENTPs tend to be oblivious of the rest of humanity, except as an audience 9 It takes me a while to turn off the audience mode sometimes, and I'm not always entertaining of course, but not many people are... right?

I'd agree with that, it's easy enough to relate to half of the other profiles, perhaps a better site would work, but I picked this one because I'm lazy

Quite accurate but somehow I don't think I have the capability to be so flighty with relationships, I'm pretty loyal when it comes to that. I think I'm a sligtly expressed E, actually.
