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."
