Most of the time test as INTP or INTJ (I most identify with INTP at this moment)

Sometimes test as INFP or INFJ

Once in a great while, will get some other result like ISTJ, ISTP or ENTP


I've yet to test in the ES quadrant.

I have tested 4 consistent results over a period of three years in my studies of my personal MBTI psychometric profile. The first time I was typed was by my brother. He typed me an INTJ. I was interested so I studied deeper into MBTI ending up choosing INTJ as my own assessment of my type. I had not yet taken an MBTI test nor was I in a deeper understanding of the functions. Taking the MBTI test for the first time, INTJ was my result. Over a period of time and many different tests I have received INTJ, INTP, INFJ and INFP the majority being INTJ. Although I had little doubt of my type I was curious to the possible reasons for the errors going far enough to dub me INFP. So I learnt about functions in which I understood why such is possible. With 3 introverted functions used as the most common of my personal functions use, it would not come to much surprise.

The MBTI tests can be very worthless by perception of the person taking the test and by the clumsily written wordings of the test by the test maker and/or misinterpretation of the test taker. Both instill it's own addition to the margin of error and yet are not the only factors that may cause errors of a wrong result in an MBTI test.

From what I can remember.
I often got results that ended around IXXP.

ENFP. Yeah, I think this only occurred in one of those moods....

INFJ. This is the strangest one I got. Don't remember which test.

So 6? But I really didn't count ENFP or INFJ because they were just weird results.

I've taken many tests and I have always gotten INFP or ENFP.

I have mostly gotten INFP, but when I look at the overall descriptions of INFP and ENFP its clear that I'm ENFP.


I find it absolutely incredible that some people can't eliminate at least HALF of the types.

Seriously?

Like, you can't tell, for example, whether you're INFP or ESTJ?

Or whether you're ISTJ or ESFP?

That sounds like a serious problem to me. :doh::D

INTP, INFP and INTJ (the latter of which is probably right)

I've tested as 14 different types.. never ISFJ or ESFJ, but all the others, yeah. Usually I've needed just a slightly different mindset to genuinely score as a different type. That's the thing with the typology system: deviate ever so slightly from the XXXX type, and you will score as anything. Scoring 51% or 49% on any scale will make all the difference.

I think you may have won the prize, with 14 types.

WAY too small of a space... and the man is a germaphobe as well, so I guess I won't test as all 16 :laugh:

4, ENTJ, ENFJ, INTJ, ENTP

Depends on the mood. I generally always knew where home was. Still if I was in doubt, I asked for help.

I've taken various MBTI tests countless times and it's usually:

90% of the time, INTP
5% ENTP
4% INFP
1% ISTP

INFP, INTP and ENFP in about that order. I haven't taken any official tests: all these are results from online quizzes.

And I usually get ISTJ when I'm pissed off. :D

Excluding loser results, I would say INFP, INTP, and ENTP. I used to be INxP in middle school, but for the last several years have been ENTP. I have been feeling pretty ENTJ lately though. Pfft. I shall persevere!

It depends..., if you mean any test that'll give one of those 16 types, I've probably gotten about 6-8 different results, due to some of the tests being a bit silly. On the serious tests, I get INTP about 92% of the time, INTJ 7%, and might've got INFP and/or ENTP once or twice. I heard that I tested ISFP once as a child.

Let's clarify that a bit....

I haven't taken the official MBTI yet.

On all online tests, including the ones that determine type through like writing style, appearance, or other really questionable methods, I've probably got about 7 different results.

On the online tests that aren't as crazy, I've got three different results: INTP, INTJ, and ENTP. I scored INTJ a couple times way way back, tested consistently as INTP many many times up until a few months ago, but now I test consistently as ENTP, no matter how many times I whisper to the test: my E and T really are very questionable.... lemme see something else!, but it doesn't listen :tongue:

So really, I've only had one shift in test results over the past 5 years. My stability is terrifying :D

INFJ, INTJ, INFP, and finally INTP

In retrospect, I probably tested as INFJ initially because I was answering based on what I thought I should be like. More soul-searching --> more consistently testing as INTP.

The first time I took the test and discovered MBTI, I tested as an INTP. Since the second time and forward I've always scored INTJ.

INTJ, INFJ, ENTJ, and once, INFP.

But it's always those awful online tests, so I don't take it seriously anyway.
