Are you asking if they are the correct temperament based on what we think, or whether it corresponds to our self typing in MBTI?

I'm looking at from the perspective that they are one and the same. If you are an Artisan, you are an SP. If you are a Guardian, you are an SJ If you are an Idealist, you are an NF and if you are a Rational, you are an NT.

I actually am developing a test right now that will use a combination of Temperament and Cognitive Function preferences to assess someone's type. I worked on it for several hours yesterday and have all the questions, some specs for how it would work, etc. My theory is that by using a combination of two different models, it can increase the accuracy of the test. I don't want to rely on Temperament though unless the question responses clearly indicate someone is that Temperament. What I'm doing is saying +1 for a "Most" answer and -1 for a "Least" answer. If the the score for one of the Temperaments isn't at least two higher than the other ones, I'm going to say it's inconclusive and rely on cognitive functions.


Ummm, ok.

Please select the choice that you think
1. Most strongly matches your preferences and (mark in bold)
2. The one that least matches your preferences (mark in italics)

You can also just make a list instead of bolding or italics.

I got ISFP five times in tests. Could I be an ISFP as well?

I don't think so. One of the answers is wrong. Which type description sounds more accurate to you? ISFP or INFP?

[MENTION=8936]highlander[/MENTION] how likely is it I'm NF based on my responses? I've had issues determining NF vs SJ for myself for a while and have been speaking to a couple of people (an INFJ and an ISFJ) here. They both think I'm NF and I'm thinking NF too right now but according to this I'm SJ so I'm now totally confused haha.

Ooo please do me, I'm seemingly incapable of deciding on ISFJ vs INFJ. =(

Please select the choice that you think
1. Most strongly matches your preferences and (mark in bold)
2. The one that least matches your preferences (mark in italics)


*What characteristic best describes you?
a. I am adaptable
b. I am consistent (least)
c. I am humane
d. I am analytical

*Which statement best describes you?
a. I’m tolerant and on the lookout for useful compromises
b. I am hard working and dependable
c. I am enthusiastic and creative
d. I am competent and inventive (least)

I can't decide on which, sorry.

*It is most important for me to be:
a. Adaptable
b. Respectable
c. Authentic (least)
d. Resolute

*It is most important for me to
a. Be lively and unrestrained (least)
b. Do things that will produce good
c. Help others and be charitable
d. Be autonomous

Again, can't decide between the two.

*I yearn for
a. Impact
b. Belonging
c. Romance (least)
d. Achievement

*I most value being
a. Excited (least)
b. Concerned
c. Enthusiastic
d. Calm

The best word to describe me would be that I am:
a. Practical (least)
b. Dutiful
c. Altruistic
d. Pragmatic

Hopefully I can still be given a decisive result from my answers, but I understand if not, because my self awareness is lacking. I'm guessing that according to this I'd be SJ though?

EDIT: just noticed the italics ones don't show up here, so I put them in brackets above.

I can answer if you pick one answer you most identify with (not two) and one that you least identify with.

Idealist or Guardian. It's inconclusive.

I had to google to prove excited and enthusiastic are too similar to want one but not the other. He's changed it to b.) concerned for least. Weird since he's a natural worry wart.

The least identified with ones didn't work on the quote before because everything was italicised haha, so I just put it in brackets saying (least), but here is my list with just one in bold for each:

*What characteristic best describes you?
a. I am adaptable
b. I am consistent
c. I am humane
d. I am analytical

*Which statement best describes you?
a. I’m tolerant and on the lookout for useful compromises
b. I am hard working and dependable
c. I am enthusiastic and creative
d. I am competent and inventive

*It is most important for me to be:
a. Adaptable
b. Respectable
c. Authentic
d. Resolute (in terms of reaching my life goals, I'd say it's more important for me not to give up in reaching for them more so than being respectable, but in other circumstances I'd say Respectable is more important.)

*It is most important for me to
a. Be lively and unrestrained
b. Do things that will produce good (for me, "good" is helping others and being charitable, and I'd like to dedicate my life in trying to persuade others to be more caring for each other and promote world equality, and so "produce good" I suppose?)
c. Help others and be charitable
d. Be autonomous

*I yearn for
a. Impact
b. Belonging
c. Romance
d. Achievement

*I most value being
a. Excited
b. Concerned
c. Enthusiastic
d. Calm

The best word to describe me would be that I am:
a. Practical
b. Dutiful
c. Altruistic
d. Pragmatic
