Fudjack/Dinkelaker Functional Preferences Instrument

[Totenkindly]

I filled it out using my real name; I wonder if he'll remember me? I'm not a friend of his but I used to chat with a friend of his.

He's a good guy. I talked to him years ago, when I was part of his exhibit on guessing people's types by their art. He was easy to talk to, intelligent, and low-key. Who knows? Sometimes names stick in people's heads.

first name= Jennifer
....
mbti type= INtP
ennea type= 5w4 SX
....
intuiting =14
sensing =4
feeling =7
thinking =12
N-F-T-S = iNfj, iNfp, eNfp, eNfj
F-N-S-T = inFp, inFj, enFj, enFp
N-T-F-S = iNtj, iNtp, eNtp, eNtj
T-N-S-F = inTp, enTj, inTj, enTp
S-F-T-N = iSfj, eSfp, iSfp, eSfj
T-S-N-F = isTp, esTj, isTj, esTp
S-T-F-N = iStj, eStp, iStp, eStj
F-S-N-T = isFp, esFj, isFj, esFp

Hee, nice... picked up the iNtp pretty nicely there.

 

[Beargryllz]

intuiting - 11
sensing - 8
feeling - 8
thinking - 10

A lot of the time, I really wished I could check both answers. But I couldn't. I like the test.

 

[violaine]

intuiting = 19
sensing = 6
feeling = 4
thinking = 8

 

[Mal12345]

intuiting = 19
sensing = 6
feeling = 4
thinking = 8

T-N-S-F = inTp, enTj, inTj, enTp

One of those four.

 

[ajblaise]

I like how they worded the questions.. but I question my damn sensing score! *is ashamed*

intuiting =9
sensing =9
feeling =5
thinking =14
N-F-T-S = iNfj, iNfp, eNfp, eNfj
F-N-S-T = inFp, inFj, enFj, enFp
N-T-F-S = iNtj, iNtp, eNtp, eNtj
T-N-S-F = inTp, enTj, inTj, enTp
S-F-T-N = iSfj, eSfp, iSfp, eSfj
T-S-N-F = isTp, esTj, isTj, esTp
S-T-F-N = iStj, eStp, iStp, eStj
F-S-N-T = isFp, esFj, isFj, esFp

 

[KDude]

I don't know man. Even I got T on this test.

I just think that perhaps you aren't as meek or harmonizing as some INFPs. Not all INFPs are like that, it's a lame stereotype I think, that all INFPs are these push-overs.

That's not the case.

I just take an informative approach, I think. For example, I might say I have Te, but you're right in kind of doubting it. It's not Te, because it's tentative and serves Ne more than anything. I don't have strong conclusions (except on the most important issues.. which are Fi, of course). Sometimes even about things I know fairly well. I might try to correct something, but then be open to the idea that I'm wrong or they have some other angle that's simultaneously right. And I suppose that this works in different degrees with people. Maybe some draw the conclusion that it's just better to keep what you know to yourself, and harmonize.

 

[Thalassa]

T-N-S-F = inTp, enTj, inTj, enTp

One of those four.

Or actually ENTJ or INTP. One of those two, if this is actually a functions preference test like the title claims.

Wait no no no ...just looked directly at her results instead of the order you placed the letters.

That would actually be ENTP or INTJ, and as far as I know violane is an Ni dom (INFJ) so close.

 

[Jaguar]

Okay, it's time to show and tell.

Go back to the site, right click on view page source, and look at the code.
There are some valid reasons to question what they're associating with T, F, S, N.
Make your own decisions.

I certainly wouldn't be betting the ranch on your results after seeing their method.

 

[Thalassa]

I actually agree with Jag, because it seemed to me like they had equated Feeling with "niceness" or "weakness."

 

[ThatGirl]

Example?

 

[Jaguar]

Are your fingers broken?

 

[Thalassa]

Well, like in questions where it asks if you can be "mean-spirited" I'm guessing they're taking off points for that, even though Fs can be plenty mean-spirited if they want to be, as well as forcing me to choose whether people should be more considerate or playful, I'm going to say "playful." The words "warm and kind" were also included in at least two questions.

 

[prplchknz]

I didn't answer mean-spirited because that would be a lie. so how did I get 14 for t and 7 or 8 for f?

 

[ThatGirl]

Are your fingers broken?

No I just don't know what the code means. It would be easier to link the specific questionable examples.

 

[skylights]

here's the code... when it says VALUE=f/t/n/s, that's what that answer (the following one, in the same row) scores a point as.

basically the code is broken down like this:

< (indicates beginning of a command set)
INPUT (tells the computer to generate an input field - box/button/text field/etc)
TYPE=RADIO (the type of input field will be a radio button, one of the round ones where you can only select 1 choice at a time)
NAME=Q1 (a shorthand name, for convenience)
VALUE="ff" (indicates what the answers "counts" towards)
> (indicates end of a command set)
<br> (line break)
<p> (indicates a new "paragraph")

<INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME=Q1 VALUE="ff">(A) It is more important to seek consensus in decision-making than to make decisions quickly. <br>

<br>
<P>
3. <br>
<INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME=Q3 VALUE="tt">(A) Isn't one better off learning how to detect significant causal connections than trying to be sensitive to mood swings?
<br>
<INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME=Q3 VALUE="ss">(B) Isn't one better off learning how to
make accurate observations than trying to honor mere hunches?<br>

<p>
4. <br>
<INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME=Q4 VALUE="nn">(A) It is more important to be able to appreciate the profound meaning of a central metaphor than to notice what color shirt someone is wearing.<br>
<INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME=Q4 VALUE="ff">(B) Being skilled in empathic listening is more important than knowing how to decide whether a syllogism is valid.<br>

[ThatGirl]

Ohhhh, I hadn't scrolled down enough. Thanks.

 

[Mal12345]

I don't see the big deal, when weighing alternatives such as "concern for others" versus "decisiveness."

 

[Thalassa]

Suuuure...now I'm an ENTP and prpls an INTP.

Yep.

Maybe we just don't have very much Fe.

Sometimes F questions seem skewed toward Fe and S questions toward Si.

 

[KDude]

It was a decent effort...

Maybe what MBTI lacks is something like Reinin dichotomies (and even then, those are too reductionist). What tests basically amount to are oversimplified S/N T/F differences. That's pretty broad. This one is still doing the same, but tried to be more precise ("desultory".. heh). I don't know if that's the right approach to a good test or not. Precision or introducing more dichotomies.

 

[ThatGirl]

Okay, reading it like that is a little comical. Apparently, I answered as an F because I get annoyed talking to people who are trying to manipulate the conversation.

Anyway, most tests are flawed, I at least appreciated the original wording on this one.
