Genius Personality Test

I'm pretty sure that I spotted some questions that, I swear, were taken verbatim from the MBTI as well.

That's why I clicked out of the site.

Also, all the categories correspond perfectly with the cognitive functions.

Effectiveness = Te
Sensation = Se
Exploration = Ne
Harmony = Fe

Accuracy = Ti
Memory = Si
Perspectives = Ni
Authenticity = Fi

Combine for example Perspectives/Harmony, and read the type description. Reads exactly like a description of an INFJ. The famous examples of the Perspectives/Harmony style are frequently typed as INFJ in MBTI, too. The same plagiarization can be seen with all the genius styles.

I thought along similar lines, but I still took it. Got authenticity/exploration...

I dislike the terminology, I mean 'genius'? What a great way to encourage barnum.

And authenticity is an odd one, I understand what they were angling towards but everyone is technically authentic, especially to themselves. Or is authenticity only the right of the emotionally righteous?

As a broader point authenticity as a concept is just odd to me in general. I've never benefited from being honest and open and it's usually resulted in being taken advantage of. But what if being dishonest and closed are authentic for me?

This is the issue in a species with chemically driven biologies like ourselves, we are laughably context based and just barely able to keep up with the most prominent habits of those around us as identifiers for those people, let alone ourselves.

They came up with different terminology to say the exact same things that the MBTI talks about.

They could also define authenticity as the the exact opposite of their theory.

Accuracy/Exploration

Famous people of your type:

Albert Einstein
Bill Gates (Microsoft, founder)
Tony Hsieh (Zappos, CEO)

Here’s an overview of your unique Genius Style:

Strengths:

Managing large amounts of information
Radical honesty
Intellectual curiosity

Weaknesses:

Unspoken social contracts
Relationships and people dynamics
Tact

Excerpt from Action Webinar: Of all the types, the Accuracy/Exploration genius is the most interested in analysis and theoretical logic. They have a natural understanding of how data systems work, as well as an inborn skill for spotting inconsistencies and incongruities. When they scan data and information – which they are doing all the time – they are looking for information that contradicts itself. The more ‘clean’ and ‘elegant’ the system (that is, the fewest contradictions within the data) the more satisfying. Once on track with an elegant frame, they’re off to mix and match information, form new theories and hypothesis, and introduce radically new ways of understanding the world. Since data, not people, catch their attention they are some of the least social of all the types. It’s not uncommon for this type to be awkward around others. People very rarely ‘make sense’, and the intense emotions of others can be more confusing than uncomfortable…

Sigh, can't argue with my strengths and weaknesses.

Congratulations! Your Genius Style is…

Authenticity/Exploration

Here’s an overview of your unique Genius Style:

Strengths:
Core Values
Honoring the individual
Holding the vision/mission

Weaknesses:
Project management
Utilizing people as resources
Delegating

Excerpt from Action Webinar: Authenticity/Exploration genius has perhaps the most intimate connection with human values and human needs. They are extremely well attuned to mankind’s progression and often form the moral backbone of social movements. They have a strong “spiritual hero” quality (even if atheists!). Many storybook heroes are Authenticity/Exploration. They are natural masters of culture, personal expression, and even technology. The human condition is always the focus of their world. They are individualists, both in action and in belief. A core principle with all Authenticity/Exploration genius is their insistence that everyone be allowed to “just be themselves…”

Perspectives/harmony. Theres an INFJ profile video right on the results page, so I assume that's what this corresponds to.

Congratulations! Your Genius Style is…

Memory/Effectiveness

Famous people of your type:

George Washington, United States founding father
Queen Elizabeth II, British queen


Here’s an overview of your unique Genius Style:

Strengths:

Endlessly responsible
Maintain systems and keep things going
Clear-/levelheaded

Weaknesses:

Suspicious of new concepts and solutions
Can be prideful and unbending
May get stuck in a rut

Excerpt from Action Webinar: Of all the types, Memory/Effectiveness genius is the most driven to fulfill its role in society. They’re extremely responsible, duty-bound people. When at their best they have an unmatched ability to “just keep going.” They’re always determined to keep their promises and will “push through” to get anything done. People of this type think of themselves as down-to-earth, fair, and wise. They learn best through direct experience, and due to their strengths, never forget a lesson they have learned. They generally expect everyone to follow “the rules” and, albeit reluctantly, are willing to help enforce them…

Authenticity/Sensation

Famous people of your type:
Michael Jackson, musician and entertainer
Brad Pitt, actor
Joan of Arc, iconic figure

Here’s an overview of your unique Genius Style:

Strengths:
Core Values
Honoring the individual
Holding the vision/mission

Weaknesses:
Project management
Utilizing people as resources
Delegating

Excerpt from Action Webinar: Authenticity/Sensation genius is passionate and intense, especially about values and beliefs. They are creative and artistic, even if not in the ‘traditional’ sense – not all are painters or musicians, but all see themselves as having an artistic ‘flair’. They have a strong connection with their beliefs, seeing them as part of their identity, and can be quite spiritual. A believer in individuality, Authenticity/Sensation is often the champion of the disenfranchised, believing all people should be allowed to be themselves without judgment…
