So like most people I've just stalked this forum for a while and I'd like to know my type. Or have confirmation of it. Or discuss why people seem to mistype me. And I don't mean in the "oh-I'm-such-a-special-snowflake" way. I mean genuinely. How do you get the idea that I'm an INFJ out of the fact that I like to dance? Or vice versa?

So without further ado, here's a list of all the things I've been typed as:
INFJ
ISTJ


As far as quizzes, some of which I pulled from this forum:
INFJ
INTP
ISTJ
ISTP


My parents typed me as:
ISFJ
ISFP

Respectively. I'm rather sure my dad just picked ISFP because I like to draw and not because I'm feelings oriented or easygoing.

And now for some random results which may not be scientific, but may hold significance nonetheless (please shush all you naysayers - are you naysaying because you think it's more true than you thought?):

Color Energy test: Violet
Conversational Style: 40% Outspoken, 40% Reserved
Intuition type: Empath
Morality Test: 20.3% Purity and 18.5% Authority
Machiavellianism Test: 60 of 100

I'm rather inclined to think I'm ISFJ (and based on statistics and commonality in the forums I've visited, I would like to say this is true). But what think you people? Also, I'm interested to know, when you read this, what is your process? What goes through your mind when you get a load of information about people and you have to type them?

I don't think we can really discern a type from a list of test results (I wish it were that easy though). I think filling out one of the many questionnaires that many members provided is the best way. Besides, who doesn't like homework? Questionaires (I'm partial to the PerC one).

Sorry, I meant to post this last night but my Internet was being finicky.

Ah, unfortunately [MENTION=29903]Mayflower[/MENTION], I'm one of those people that don't like questionnaires. They're all the same to me. I can always figure out where they're going. But I'll try for you and try not to be sarcastic.

1. if you could have one mythical creature as a pet, what would it be?
I think a unicorn. Because they are maneating. But they are also magical and healing so they are really a paradox. Also, they are their own type of transportation! So there's really no reason not to own one.
2. What do you want to be when you grow up? (yes, written by a 26 year old )
When I grow up? A psychologist. Because that's a serious question. But other than that, a writer or entrepreneur.
3. If you were a fruit or vegetable, what fruit or vegetable would you be?
Vegetable, I think. I was almost inclined to say fruit but I don't know what fruit I would be. Maybe banana. But for vegetable I'd be a cucumber because they taste good to me and you could easily hit someone over the head with it.
4. What is your favorite beverage?
Soda. Sparkly, tinkly soda.
5. You're having a cookout... what do you make?
I thought this said you're having a coconut. Whoops. What would I make? Hotdogs. Sausages. With all the fixings, like sauerkraut. And the hotdogs can't be wimpy shit either, the have to be the real deal. Meaty, drippy, wet, and delicious. Also melons and some kind of fruit juice. That has to be there.
6. What's the most recent cool thing you've learned?
I learned I can't speak Korean. At least not well. I can only read the alphabet and even that's a struggle. But oh well, live and let live, I guess.
7. What portrayal of the future do you like the best?
Um, one where I don't die. Also where the robots don't take over the future and Barack Obama isn't President and universal health care isn't awful and people don't get into car crashes and it's nothing like War of Worlds. Though 1984 was okay. It was just annoying. Just no Back to The Future shit or any of that Star Trek crap. Make it realistic, and don't make it stupid.
8. You're on death row... what's your last meal?
Chicken. Or meat. Please meat.

Which would come out on top in a battle... Zombies, Vampires, or Werewolves? And why?
Why are these all capitalized? That's the question. Let's see, I'm inclined to let see the zombies live because they have a toxin inside them. It could infect vampires or werewolves and they'd all be killed.
2. What is your idea of the perfect day?
The perfect day... eh. Being alone. I'd really like to be alone. Would you just let me be alone? And not bug me? It's really great if you could.
3. What really is the correct way to pronounce potato and tomato?
Tomato and potato. Though it has been argued for centuries, there surely isn't a correct way to pronounce tomato or potato. What I consider correct is correct to another person and so on, but that's only because we're in the United States. We're very polite here, and we don't care how we pronounce things because we don't care about other people. Quite simple as that. Though, if you were asking, I'd have to say the lesser popular tomato and potato is correct because that's British English and what we should all hail to as American citizens. They don't even pronounce it weirdly there so... I don't even know what I'm going on about. But yes, British English is correct.
4. If you could live anywhere, where would you live (doesn't have to be a real place)?
Doesn't have to be a real place? Why, I'd live on Cloud Nine! I don't even know where that is but it reminds me of a Mick Jagger song for some reason. Maybe "Waiting on a Friend"?
5. What changes would you make if you were president/king/emperor/ruler of the world?
Oh my, I'd make a lot. First, universal health care. That's a nightmare. Can we get rid of that? We're not socialist and that certainly doesn't work. We learned our lesson with Russia. Not that Russia is a bad place or that socialism is wrong, but it certainly wouldn't work in America. Too much resistance, and it's not how the country traditionally is. Plus I think capitalism is a better venture generally. I'd also fire anybody who was racist. I'd also eat a lot of pork.
6. Using only words that start with the letter S, describe yourself.
Scary scintillating, starting something somnambulous scrumptiously steering slightly straight sideward slowly stopping significance.
7. If you could be a member of the opposite sex for one day...what would you do?
I'd die. I don't know. I already feel like a dude so I think it'd be redundant to be one. Why can't I just settle for a tomboyish girl? That's basically a dude anyway. But if I was a dude, I'd go mountain-biking. And then I go tell every self-righteous ass to stick it where it's deserved, especially 'cause he's probably homophobic, racist, and who knows what else. Because I have male privilege. So ha.
8. What is your biggest pet peeve?
My biggest pet peeve? Sitting still for too long. I really hate sitting still. I just can't stand being on the computer for too long or I'll go nuts. I have to be doing something.
9. If you could have any animal for a pet, what would it be?
Zebra. I don't know why. Maybe because it's rare? And also striped. And also ambiguous.
10. Are you a night owl or an early bird?
Night owl, as much as I'd hate to admit it. I'd rather be an early bird.

Ta-da.

And, "You are 62% Judging and 38% Perceiving, you are responsibly driven!"

Well. I guess you're happy with that. Enjoy your new-found isfj-ness.:)

I suppose I am. I'd be happy with any type you assigned me, honestly.
Although I did kind of expect that response based on the quiz I took so eyy, whatever. 'Cause like, as far as I know MBTI is about the functions, not whether you fall hard or soft on the J or P scale.

But thanks for contributing to the thread.

JCF is about functions. MBTI is about scales.
