mmasters gave this forum an intelligent title when he wrote "for fun."

These personality tests are fun to take (and I enjoyed taking this one), but I'm certain that human behavior is far too complex to be captured by a 70-odd-question test with a Yes/No format (with many redundant or overlapping questions, BTW).

We all want to know who we "are," but circumstances can change who we "are" on a dime.

Very few people ever fully discover who they are, so how can a written test?

Interesting, so far it looks split between NF and NT types.

Thinking about NF types it makes sense: there does seem to be a portion of folks here in touch with the "human nature" side of things.

There was a thread about this some time ago, and somebody mentioned that INTPs (most people here got it or a letter away from that) are the most common type found in... Internet forums!

yup, I'm still INTJ. It seems to me that my percentages have changed since I took the this same test a few years ago.

Hi.
Took the test again, this time using the site recommended by the first poster here and scored as an INFJ again as follows:

Your Type is
INFJ
Introverted Intuitive Feeling Judging
Strength of the preferences %
33 88 38 56

Qualitative analysis of your type formula

You are:

* moderately expressed introvert
* very expressed intuitive personality
* moderately expressed feeling personality
* moderately expressed judging personality

Last time (at the naval air site) I scored as slightly introverted, clearly intuiting, moderately feeling, and very clearly judgying so the
judging (planning/controlling) side has gone down (probably because I have been away from school for at least 5 years now)
while the introverted aspect has increased somewhat. Intuiting is now the strongest part of the personality while the feeling element has stayed about the same.
Have heard it said that intuiters not only do better in school than sensers (especially sps who tend not to be well suited for the educational system) but also are much more likely to participate in internet discussion groups and also to be more interested in the results of the Meyers Briggs personality test interestingly enough.
Have also heard that introverted intuitive types tend to congregate in coffee shops. I also bet introverted intuitive types would gravitate towards the internet more than extroverted intuitive types who are more likely to be out in the hustle and bustle of daily life. I also bet that the types with a primary introverted intuition function (These are the INTJs and INFJs), that is those whose primary ability is in seeing and relating to the abstract forms and dynamics that underly the superficial physical reality that can be readily perceived through observation, would be most likely to believe in and understand the peak oil phenomenon. The INTJs,
who tend to excel in such theoretical, designing, and analytical pursuits as physics, engineering, chemistry, and professing in the physical sciences would probably be best skilled in modeling and anlyzying the phenomenon. Also expect that with their intuitive skills supported by strong logical thinking abilities and rational
nature , INTJs and INTPs would be the very first to discover the peak oil phenomen and other emergent catastrophies and oportunities. (I am fairly confident that the gelogists from Hubbert through Deffeyes and Lahere are these types.) In communicating
these results to others, you would probably be met with disbelief from SJs, indifference from SPs and ENTPs, occasionally "that is too depressing" responses from ENFJs and ENFPs, but surprising attentive listenting and intuitive leaps from INFJs and INFPs who, while they are generally less adept at algebraic and differential analysis than the more scientifically inclined INTs, would (especially if they have significant T development) look at the shapes of the curves, recognize "where this is going," and acknowledge that "the problem is real, it is imminent, and the consequnces will be severe."

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Heineken', 'T')hese personality tests are fun to take (and I enjoyed taking this one), but I'm certain that human behavior is far too complex to be captured by a 70-odd-question test with a Yes/No format (with many redundant or overlapping questions, BTW).

Agreed, it's just fun, like a fortune cookie. I had to take a sociology class for a requirement, and it was all about this stuff. We had to write a thesis paper about our personality type, but my paper was all about what you just wrote, about the impossibility of pigeonholing personalities into just a few types by asking a few standardized questions. I was happy to do my presentation after everyone else's, and shred their rote regurgitations.

I got an A. :)

I wonder if the results would be substantially different if you just looked at the types of those who know/understand peak oil and are actually doing something about it, rather than just nattering on the web, like me. I recon most of them couldn't be bothered to respond to this kind of thread, being too busy looking after the farm.

Most likely pretty accurate, there, kate.

Although I know some of the folks who posted here ARE taking action. I think it's a progression from the smack upside the head phase to realistic plans to implementation. Everyone's progress is different.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('oowolf', 'W')hen the tower PA system announced "the tower is secure you may return to your desk--etc some people actually went back! I was just wandering if someone is aware of any study that indicates that intuitive personality types react on their own instead of waiting for a "consensus".


A fire alarm went off in a movie theatre and everybody just sat there. I got up, pushed past legs in my way, I made my way calmly to the exit. Everybody started following. I was shocked.

I think we all have roles to play and evolution has created many different personality types so we can all function. If everybody was like me, the social institutions would be too flexible.
