Interesting idea; I thought it would be nice to try a range of different writing types, as I strongly suspect my style to be very adaptive, perhaps more so than most people's.

1) A short, structured piece of old college group work of my own devising. It was intended to provide a clear base for others to work from.

1. iNtuition (51.3 %)
2. Sensing (48.7 %)

1. Thinking (62.8 %)
2. Feeling (37.2 %)

1. Introversion (61.8 %)
2. Extraversion (38.2 %)

1. Judging (68.8 %)
2. Perceiving (31.2 %)

IxTJ

2) A poem, Shakespearean sonnet in form, intended to be lyrical, I think it suceeded. The mood was intended to be rather self-absorbed/self indulgent, the perspective a somewhat projective first person.

1. Sensing (76.7 %)
2. iNtuition (23.3 %)

*interesting, this does reflect my intent pretty well*

1. Thinking (65.5 %)
2. Feeling (34.5 %)

*also interesting, one would have expected F to predominate - perhaps it was picking up on the high degree of structure?*

1. Introversion (95.0 %)
2. Extraversion (5.0 %)

1. Perceiving (64.5 %)
2. Judging (35.5 %)

ISTP


3) A highly sarcastic and rather amusing letter, written in response to some bureaucratic annoyance I was encountering from the powers that be. It got them off my back for good and obtained a bemusedly apologetic response.

1. iNtuition (55.7 %)
2. Sensing (44.3 %)

1. Thinking (98.7 %)
2. Feeling (1.3 %)

1. Introversion (90.4 %)
2. Extraversion (9.6 %)

1. Perceiving (56.4 %)
2. Judging (43.6 %)

INTP

4) A lengthy satirical poem in rhyming couplets, written as a first person self-caricature of a kind of person I particularly dislike. It's on my profile blog (I think the most recent one I added at the present time) if you're interested.

1. Sensing (76.5 %)
2. iNtuition (23.5 %)

1. Feeling (86.7 %)
2. Thinking (13.3 %)

*this is getting promising...*

1. Extraversion (58.7 %)
2. Introversion (41.3 %)

1. Judging (51.2 %)
2. Perceiving (48.8 %)

ESFJ

Success! Maybe the J preference could have done with being a little stronger though...

+ 1 for conscious adaptivity. :jew: Now, will the real Rag please step forward, as someone was asking just the other day? I wonder... ;)

I did two different posts... and it leads me to conclude that I should be an XXXX :thelook:

post one concluded that I was an INFP (60% I, 90% N, 90% F and 70% P)

post two said I was an ESTJ (70% E, 90% S, 80% T and 60% J)

really?! :cry:

I almost think a better way to compare this from person to person would be if we each wrote a response to the same question(s) and then ran it through those sites. That way we'd be controlling (somewhat) for contextual factors like intention and audience...

That's a great idea. Would you write those questions for us?

My result was INTJ, but I have no doubt those scores would change by merely changing the topic that is submitted.

yes, I submitted one post in which I was talking about the wonders of sex and was an INFP... then I submitted one talking about a friend getting depantsed while wearing long underwear at a strip club and got ESTJ... perhaps I should look up a serious post to see what it claims I am then! :laugh:

Gee, I can't possibly imagine who the INTJ was. :D

well, you'd have a 50/50 chance of selecting the correct one! :holy:

one of my posts in a past political thread is also apparently INTJ-ish... :thelook:

I submitted two more blog entries. Once again, I got two different results: INFP and ESFP. Now my writing style has four personality types: ESFJ, ESFP, INFP, and INTP. :doh:

I suspect this test to only look for words associated with personality behaviour and not look at the text as a whole, and how could it? It's only a test, it can't analyze. Or can it?

Wow. I don't seem to have a certain prominent writing style in terms of the MBTI.
