TG's Typing Thread

[ThatGirl]

Sigh, forget it. Lol.

 

[Vizzy]

I don't know how much time I will have to put into this thread. The rules are, please don't read anyone elses answers until you have submitted your contribution. Then feel free to type others as well.

Okay this is supposed to take the mbti question and add a new interpretive way of typing people from them.

What YOU do:

1) Post the mbti questions for whatever test you take.

2) In one sentence, rephrase the question in your own words, as you read the question.

3) In one sentence, provide a brief explination for your answer.


To score, you do not look at the answer itself, you look at the function used to answer the question. Note the function used. At the end, tally up what you believed the functions were. 8-Te, 3-Ne, etc.

Put the functions in order from most to least, and that's the type.

Over and out.

This sounds interesting enough. I wouldn't mind giving it a go, but what would be REALLY helpful is if you gave us a set of questions first.

 

[ThatGirl]

I'll type up the keirsey questions this weekend if I can find my book.

 

[Jaguar]

Which would be worse, to have your head in the clouds or be stuck in a rut?

For kicks, as I was making coffee this morning I asked my brother that question.
He said, "Only an asshole would answer such a stupid question."

My family is a tough jury.

Lolol!


Out of curiosity, is your brother ESTP?

I'm going to start a thread entitled: Stupid test questions that insult the intelligence.

 

[ThatGirl]

Did you read the thread?!?! Lol!

Its not about the questions. People can answer whatever they want. Hell, if they want to post how they interpret Teen Magazine's How Good Are You in Bed quiz, it wouldn't make a difference.

 

[Jaguar]

Wait . . is it . . yes, no, yes . . . it is. Hot damn! She's getting a sense of humor!

 

[ThatGirl]

Uh oh, do I have to say something funny?

I don't even understand what's going on in this thread ;_;

I need nap time.

 

[Vizzy]

35 questions is a bit too much...I was expecting 10. I mean, we have to write 2 sentences for each, right? That'd be 70...:horor:

 

[King sns]

I just picked the first 15 questions from one of the most accurate dichotomy tests- (It's hard to interpret the questions beyond what they say, but I interpret them a little anyway.)



You are almost never late for your appointments
Read: "You are a J."
Answer: I'm almost always exactly on time for my appointments- (a prized skill), so the above would be correct for me.

You like to be engaged in an active and fast-paced job
You like to be involved in either a physically active job that requires a lot of moving and talking to people. The answer is yes, always!
You enjoy having a wide circle of acquaintances
Relative to the general population, I don't know what "wide variety" or "acquaintance" means. I usually have good relations with all of my coworkers, talking to all of them as I go through work, have 270 facebook friends, and am often on the phone or texting, and get caught up in a lot of conversations when walking/driving around my town, so I guess the answer is yes.
You feel involved when watching TV soaps
As is. NO!!!!!!!!
You are usually the first to react to a sudden event:
the telephone ringing or unexpected question
Taken literally- the two situations as mentioned above. It depends on my mood, if I'm really tired, or in the middle of a project or writing or thought, than no. On a higher-speed day, than yes- it's 50/50. I would answer this question based on my mood that day- today, no.
You are more interested in a general idea than in the details of its realization
Do you logically put a solution together one detail at a time to see the whole picture, creating a more accurate vision? Or do you see the fuzzy vision first and then try to justify it/ follow through with steps and details? I usually see the end first, (say, the goal of the heart is to bring oxygen and nutrients to other organs), and then try to figure out how it goes about doing that by filling in stuff after the fact- Like- "well how does the heart affect the brain?- It does so this way!"
You tend to be unbiased even if this might endanger
your good relations with people
You choose logic over harmony.
No, everyone has their own true reality, if someone disagrees with me, I'll try to understand and live in their world and figure out what they are saying- and people are more important than constant exact rightness- the second gives me a headache.
Strict observance of the established rules is likely to prevent a good outcome
Definitely- rule books are meant to be guidelines, think of religions- many have the same concept, but if people are getting all caught up in the Muslims having sex with seven virgins in heaven, or homo-sexuals are the same as murderers, then we are going to have wars.
It's difficult to get you excited
"It's difficult to make you passionate."
Again, depends on my mood- as I get older, I can see the significance of a lot of activities, relationships, topics of interest- I can develop passions for a lot of things, so no.
It is in your nature to assume responsibility
Do you like to take responsibility for results at any cost, or blame someone else no matter what? I tend to want to avoid responsibility for my own actions to avoid repercussions, but assume responsibility regardless, because I know it's the right thing, so no, it is not in my nature.

 

[ThatGirl]

Holy crap, I didn't even see this. I will work on it tonight.

Thanks shortie!
