NEW MBTI TEST

[Varelse]

INTP. Had INTJ, INFP, ENTP, INFJ, and ISTP listed as secondary options.

I tested as ENFJ... close enough for a beta, but I'm probably not an ENFJ. Unless of course I've been severely pressured into not using Fe throughout my life... But I don't really think so.

Also, it said that ENFJ's are "happier in situations where their morality is compromised?" Did you let a very bitter IxTP write that description?

I noticed that too, but I just disregarded it, lol.

I don't like reticent and garrulous because I'm not sure what % of the population knows what those words mean. I guess we could have a third option - don't know what those mean I see you're point about the format.

Oh, understood. I was being silly. MBTI fans, however, can usually spot the purpose most questions and are faced with a new choice: that between honesty and projection.

I get your point though of doing more original questions. I had a tight deadline to get them done and just wanted to test the algorithm before I put enough time into the questions.

Certainly. I was unaware of the systems underpinning "20 Questions," and am very impressed.

On the other hand, it will probably help to have "experts" train it first. ...Anybody with specific question or description suggestions can post them here or PM them to me! I'm more than happy to add them in!

Yes. That's the catch with my suggestions. Neither I nor most participants here know with any expertise how inclinations precisely measure functions. Over the years I have played around with alternate questions, though with hesitation, due to a lack of understanding of the theory.

But as you note, if the AI can induct those measurements itself based on response patterns -- by all means, let it!

I just took it twice. The first time I got INTP with ENFJ as a backup. The second time I got INFP with no backup. So I'm really no closer than I ever was to finding my true type. Still, nice test!

Of course, life (=brain) is elastic.
And the life with Noah has made you an INTP.

But you had the promise all along.

I thought you didn't think one's type could change in one's lifetime?

MLC: I liked this test quite well. It's the first MBTI test I've taken where I found myself thinking on every question, "Well that's a no-brainer."

 

[cafe]

I got INFJ and INFP. Chose INFJ.

 

[Economica]

Just finished the beta of my new mbti test. The idea is to make it shorter and more accurate using machine learning algorithms similar to 20Q.net Inc.

I've said this privately but I have to say it publicly as well:

meanlittlechimp, this is spectacular. I'm sure that your test will become eerily accurate and wildly popular, significantly accelerating the diffusion of the MBTI gospel - and earning you a nice bit of money. Thank you and congratulations!

 

[The Ü™]

I got INTJ with ENTJ as a secondary option.

I don't understand, though, the test didn't seem much different than any of the other online tests. Can someone explain to me the innovation?

And is the real MBTI supposed to be short like that?

 

[Lateralus]

I really like the test (logistics). Though the I don't like some of the questions. I just don't like binary choices. Plus I hate the assumption that S is always practical and N is never practical. There is a quite a bit of overlap and N can be quite practical when applied a certain way. For example, obsessing over fashion would be an impractical S behavior, but planning for the future would be a practical N behavior.

The first time, I scored ESXP, probably because I chose "practical" as one of my answers. The second time I took it, I got XNFP.

I also don't like the binary choices between extraversion and introversion. It's possible to be a shy extravert or an outgoing introvert.

When you choose "I don't know" for every question, it types you are INTJ or ENFJ.

There's an algorithm that teases out the most accurately discriminatory questions. (Lateralus, this means the best questions will win eventually.)

And is the real MBTI supposed to be short like that?

One of many beautiful features is that the test will only be as long as necessary. If you answer consistently, the algorithm won't need to ask you very many questions in order to determine a dimension.

I could eulogize for hours but unfortunately I don't have time right now.

 

[Lookin4theBestNU]

I scored as an INFJ.

The possible other ones were: ENFJ, INFP, & ISFJ.

Cool test MLC thanks .

In terms of MBTI, though, practicality is antonymous with imagination. The Sensor is practical in that he is more in tune with reality, while the Intuitive is more in tune with his own imagined reality.

Another difference is that the Sensor is more accepting of their surroundings, giving them an edge of being adaptable, while the Intuitive wants to make changes himself or retreat into their imaginations.

But the questions aren't that deep. The internet tests I've seen attempt to turn a continuum into a dichotomy. There is some "practicality" to both S and N. It all depends on your perspective. There must be a better way to measure S/N preferences than other tests have demonstrated.

 

[JivinJeffJones]

Nice test, it typed me right.




I noticed a spelling mistake -- it talks about "people you feel close too" instead of "people you feel close to". Something like that. No big deal.

 

[ygolo]

It scored me INTJ, with a choice for INFJ even though I was really indecisive on the test.

Could be. After some thought, and reading the Understanding Yourself and Other series, I decided I was an INTP.

I am curious. Supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised learning?

What style of algorithm?
Evolutionary computing (Genetic Algorithm, strategy, etc.), classifier system, neural network, or just straight data mining?

No offense, but I'll be amazed if this works.

Still, good luck.

 

[GirlAmerica]

Short and sweet.

You are a Scientist: Also known as INTJ (Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging)

Mine did.

 

[Ghost of the dead horse]

At first I thought it wrong to have been evaluated as INT*, because I have used to seeing I/E associated with shyness, social insecurity or outgoingness. I think there is a division in how different theories measure and define person's preference in the I/E scale.

I took another test in Understanding the Eight Jungian Cognitive Processes / Eight Functions Attitudes that also evaluated me as INTP, so at least the tests measure the same, and it can't be just considered as a measuring error.

So I'd say that perhaps that test is accurate, it was fast and fun to do, and gave the same results as a much longer test!
