I think to make a more accurate questionnaire, you need to do field research on more TJ types.

I know what you're getting at, and some people will obviously have a hard time deciding. But I took this into account, because I think more often than not, the people who come up with X results are the same people who will receive an improper type result from existing tests.

I could have made this a lot easier to make decisions in, but that wasn't the intention.

Yes, there is definitely a tradeoff between accuracy and simplicity.

Personally, I lean towards the accuracy side, but if that's not your goal, I'd say your test is pretty good.

I've done plenty. The results of the test so far have demonstrated it's more accurate than not in differentiating, and I believe it's been improved since the last results.

Yeah, I don't care if it's accurate, obviously. Haven't been working non-stop to make it more effective.

"I can accurately judge the effectiveness of something"

"I can easily understand the purpose of a decision, object, or action"

"I quickly grasp the intended purpose and reasoning behind rules and step-by-step processes, even if I don't necessarily agree with them"

I like that last one.

TJ? I don't think so. I'll concentrate on the second. It could almost replace 2b, because it's regarding the hypothetical, and prediction. Not acquiring knowledge, and planning.

You don't think so? Why don't you think so?

I like the last one, too, Orangey.

4. a. I value scheduling.
5. a. I am naturally sympathetic.
6. a. After several hours in a group of five or more people, I may become uncomfortable.

ANSWER KEY (In White):

1. a=E
2. a=FJ
3. a=N
4. a=J
5. a=F
6. a=I
7. b=N

Hmm. Interesting results.. I think the reflect moreso how I feel. I Believe I am ENFP, but I think I have other tendacies that show through this.

As an edit: I put scheduling and I had meant the other answer.. I DO scheduling. It's not what I value ^_^b

I hate those questions, actually. I neither value scheduling nor spontaneity specifically. I'm down with whatever the situation calls for.

That said, I never turned anything in late in college. ;)

Well it's easy to be a critic, Eileen! hehe.

How about:

a. I tend to follow a schedule.
b. I tend to act spontaneously.

Or?
