The One Question MBTI Personality Test

[Mike5609]

A single-choice relatively-few-words question can't be expected to indicate one's MBTI accurately, because putting the question to a group of known-for-sure ABCD types would throw up a distribution of responses and one is doing a 'reverse lookup' of that distribution in posing the question as a means of indicating an individual's Type. It would though be interesting to know for which Type(s) the single question had the highest accuracy.

Improving prediction-strength necessarily requires more input ie (i) more questions or (ii) having the respondent rank the answers to the one question so that negative weights can be attached to the Types associated with disliked choices or (iii) more words in the single multiple-choice question - this gravitates towards self-choosing between full descriptions of the 16 Types or (iv) a combination eg self-choosing from potted Type descriptions would normally throw a good half into the bin pretty well immediately and a good half of the remainder after a little thinking [or a little feeling ], leaving typically three choices from which the final choice is made by administering the appropriate customised test from a library of 1820 four-possibility tests, 560 three-possibility tests and 120 two-possibilty tests.

[Ginkgo]

I got INFJ on the first try.

And INFP on the second.

The INFP option was elusive to me.

 

[NPcomplete]

The INFP option was elusive to me.

I guess verbal chess seemed more appealing at the time.

 

[Ginkgo]

I guess verbal chess seemed more appealing at the time.

You caught me.

 

[SingSmileShine]

I can't choose between imagining how the world could be improved, playing charades, organizing a party, or being president of a club. That makes me either an INFJ, ENFP, ESFJ, or ENTJ.

I'm ENFP, so...yup.

 

[Mal12345]

I don't play chess anymore, so none of the above.

 

[acronach]

After 3, I stopped...
1. ENTP: "Inventor". Enthusiastic interest in everything and always sensitive to possibilities. Non-conformist and innovative. 5% of the total population.
2. INTJ: "Scientist". Most self-confident and pragmatic of all the types. Decisions come very easily. A builder of systems and the applier of theoretical models. 1% of the total population.
3. ISFP: "Artist". Interested in the fine arts. Expression primarily through action or art form. The senses are keener than in other types. 5% of the total population.

Which one is supposed to be INFP???

 

[Redbone]

ENTP
INTJ
ISTJ (what?)

 

[Mal12345]

ENTP
INTJ
ISTJ (what?)

I don't think "Play chess" is a very good option. What if I don't play chess?

The test needs some work.

 

[PeaceAndMusic]

INFP: "Questor". High capacity for caring. Calm and pleasant face to the world. High sense of honor derived from internal values. 1% of the total population.

 

[WALMART]

ISTP: "Attend an art class"?


Not 'build a deck' or 'fix a car'? Hm.
