*sigh*

okay so I did the test again this morning and *drum roll* it says



I *sorta* exhibit *some* of the symptoms that would lead the doctors to diagnose me with DID... is there any hope of finding something accurate?

Simple.

Have each of the multiple personalities take the test. ;)

I could see you as INTJ, FWIW. That "Walden" thing sounds more INTJ than INFJ. I kind of end up isolating myself, but I'm not quite as content with it. I could see an INTJ being a little more content with it.

That's worth trying, I've always seen myself as a chameleon because I blend well in any setting.

I know that the IN stands...

You don't have multiple personalities... that test you took is terrible. Here are two results I've gotten from there-

You don't have multiple personalities... and you aren't an INXX. That test is just bad. It's one or the other style of scoring isn't good, and it gives overly stereotypical questions and answers to said questions to determine the dichotomies. Plus with the one or the other style of questioning the results can vary based on your mood.

This test has always scored me as INFP. Free Jung Personality Test

EDIT: And no matter what you score, you will always function as one personality type. If you've verified that you function like an INFJ (Ni Fe Ti Se) and think that the fact that you scored INTP changes that, well, you pretty much fail at life.

This is hilarious! I kinda wondered if I should be offended but this sounds like something I would say... I don't know how I verify if I function like anything... The INTJ thing sounded more like me on that site... but I'll try the link you gave me. The bottom line is that no matter what letters you put after my name (personality type, diagnosis or education) I'm just me. If I were so easily swayed by social pressure, I would be too busy watching TV to know this place existed :newwink:

It makes more of an effect if you're slightly offensive. :D

But do you know of the function order of the INFJ? Type isn't just about descriptions.

It's probably because INTPs and INFJs both have unconscious Ti, and you're relating to them on that level. The INFJ function order is Ni>Fe>Ti>Se. The first one function (the INFJ's is Ni) is unconscious and completely natural to you, the second one (for INFJ's is Fe) it is pretty strong and somewhat unconscious, but to get in touch with it it requires some conscious effort (but not much), the third one (Ti for INFJs) is basically how you get relief. You go to this when you are worried about something, and you're constantly doing this process to make you more secure in things. The last one, (Se for INFJs) is a weakness. It tends to bring you down, and at the same time it's the doorway for personal growth.

Ni- Introverted iNtuiting
Fe- Extraverted Feeling
Ti- Introverted Thinking
Se- Extraverted Sensing

These aren't the best, you'd have to get some books on MBTI to get a better INFJ description and to read about what each of the functions does for them.

There is also plenty of information on INFJs on the internet or here if you wanna find out more about the functions.

That link "comparison of jung's 8 types" is pretty good, and that INFJ profile is meh. I was going to link it but decided to not.

Looks like an INTJ score to me, INTPs and INTJs often test the wrong way around. There are plenty of INTPs out there that suspect that they might be INTJs. It's because of the dominant function in INTPs and INTJs. For an INTP, their Ti is a judging function, which increases the J score somewhat, for an INTJ, their Ni is a perceiving function, which again, increases the P score of the INTJ. The two types often score INTX. Seeing as you don't agree with the INTP definitions, I would believe that you are an INTJ, or at least INFJ, but since you are a gal, your T may be seem less prevalent => T.

You don't.

MBTI was designed for psychologically healthy people.
If you have a psychological disorder you can't officially be typed.

That's so funny. I just came back here to say that I've processed everything and took a few more scoring tests online and have settled on INTJ.

I started a strange habit as a child of challenging myself and it sort of wrapped into this unconscious self-sabotage problem. I often feel "comfortable" doing things that I don't actually like so that I have something to work on. I'm always working from the moment I wake up until the moment I sleep. Housework, school work, child raising, emotional work, intellectual development... :run: I even see relaxing as a skill to develop. I sometimes force myself to meditate while the phone rings and there is something I "should" be doing, to stretch my flexibility. I'm always doing something in my head, typically 4 or 5 somethings. I think this tendency to feel "natural" doing things that I don't really feel drawn to makes the scoring hard, especially when it's an either/or situation.

For the record, multiples is an easy way to EXPLAIN what's going on in my head, that doesn't mean that I actually BELIEVE that there are so many of me.

I'd love to find someone who is psychologically healthy... if you haven't picked up a copy of the DSMIV lately, you probably have a psychological disorder. Regardless, I think I've figured it out...

The social construct of "mental illness" is my thesis so I'm a little :steam: about the whole "you can't join our club" idea.
