| What is your Myers-Briggs type indicator? | |||
| This is a psychometric questionnaire designed to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. It produces results in the form of four letters and it's pretty fucking spiffy. Oh, you should probably take the test in the post before you select your answer unless you're darn sure about what you are. Then it's okay. But otherwise, I'd be mad. | |||

I think a lot of people misunderstand the test or the type indicator system in general. It helps people gain insight on themselves by knowing what sort of innate preferences they have when making decisions or gathering information in the world. The test can suggest a variety of different preferences but it's just a test and I think it really boils down to how much introspection you want to do just to find out what you are.
The system works from a list of functions, which are a combination of either judging (feeling/thinking) or perceiving (intuition/sensing) and either extraverted or introverted. The letters tell you which functions are your primary two and according to the theory, the first two functions determine what the rest of your functions are. People who are balanced don't lack a type—everyone has some sort of type because they have some sort of default behavior—but it just means you're diverse. Again, that means your type doesn't change! Finding your type can be helpful for some people if it gives insight on how you understand the world. You can pick up on what sort of things you need to work on achieve a better balance. When applied to others, also, the system isn't designed for categorization but instead to provide insight on how other people understand the world. So, Metal_Man88, just because you may be socially stimulated doesn't mean your type changes! Anyone of any type can be social regardless of whether their dominant function is introverted or extraverted. Just because you might use a certain function more in a certain situation doesn't make you a different type! And also personality description write-ups are not a definitive list of qualities for each type; they are stereotypes made from extrapolating understanding of how each function contributes to one's personality. And most simple MBTI tests just work off these stereotypes. ____________________ —Sofi |

Well, like I stated, tests aren't the perfect indicator for this. I actually tend to get somewhere between ENFJ or INFJ most of the time I take the tests, but I know for certain my primary focus when I interact with the world is to recognize and take care of other people's feelings and values and then use that to intuit new ideas and thoughts (ENFJ) rather than creating new ideas and thoughts extrapolated from concrete information and then measuring it up with people's feelings and values (INFJ).
Similarly, an ENTJ would want to organize and monitor people efficiently and productively and then come up with ways to do that rather than coming up with ideas first and then judging whether they serve that purpose, which is what an INTJ would do. Both types are probably fascinated with computers and hang out on computer forums. And yeah, the last bit you said—I think you understood me. Also, I realize the contradiction of being like, hey guys, here's a test! take it! and then writing in a different post that tests are bad and you should use introspection instead. I don't think everyone is as deeply interested in the theory as other people are so for people who are just having fun, tests will certainly suffice. :T ____________________ —Sofi |

Introspection is pretty damn difficult. There are a lot of things I'd like to know about me, that I think would require an external party to kind of pick that apart.

Hmm, I'm supposedly INTJ but I'm not very confident in my competence at all.
