Welcome to Gaia! ::

This should be a good one.

A post I made here recently got me thinking about the personality types for many of the people I know, including the good folks of 21+. So I kindly ask you to take an online personality test like:

or

http://www.mypersonality.info/personality-types/
(this one will ask for your email address, but the other one doesn't. Still, I think this is the better of the two tests.)

and post your results here in the thread. It's always interesting finding these sorts of things out.

The tests all say that I myself am an "INTJ". After reading the descriptors that the tests provided as well as several other more detailed descriptions I found through the magic of googling, I've found that INTJ, in fact, pretty much describes me to the letter.

So, discuss:

-Your personality type
-Would you get along with someone who shares your exact personality type?
-Which of the 16 types can you absolutely not stand. (I'm not trying to instigate anything here. I swear! I just need discussion point fillers) xd
-Playing hooky from work

which segways into

-How Headhunter should be working on his final story for his last class at his current school instead of perusing teh intrawebz taking tests.

You have complex, deep feelings, and you take great care to express them.

In love, you truly see relationships as an opportunity to connect and grow.

You would make a great photographer, alternative medicine guru, or teacher.

As a psych major, I've taken dozens of these tests over the last few years, and INFJ is generally the result. Sometimes it'll vary on one dimension or another, but iit's always pretty close to INFJ.

You Are An INTP



The Thinker

You are analytical and logical - and on a quest to learn everything you can.
Smart and complex, you always love a new intellectual challenge.
Your biggest pet peeve is people who slow you down with trivial chit chat.
A quiet maverick, you tend to ignore rules and authority whenever you feel like it.

In love, you are an easy person to fall for. But not an easy person to stay in love with.
Although you are quite flexible, you often come off as aloof or argumentative.

At work, you are both a logical and creative thinker. You are great at solving problems.
You would make an excellent mathematician, programmer, or professor.

How you see yourself: Creative, fair, and tough-minded

When other people don't get you, they see you as: arrogant, cold, and robotic

As you may notice there is a slight discrepancy between the two tests but all in all this sums me up quite well.

You Are An INFP



The Idealist

You are creative with a great imagination, living in your own inner world.
Open minded and accepting, you strive for harmony in your important relationships.
It takes a long time for people to get to know you. You are hesitant to let people get close.
But once you care for someone, you do everything you can to help them grow and develop.

In love, you tend to have high (and often unrealistic) standards.
You are very sensitive. You tend to have intense feelings.

At work, you need to do something that expresses your personal values.
You would make an excellent writer, psychologist, or artist.

How you see yourself: Unselfish, empathetic, and spiritual

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Unrealistic, naive, and weak

This does seem to fit me a lot. Well, though I consider myself highly selfish. It's hard for me because I have a very dualistic nature. Many of those questions depended on the circumstances.

I have too much guilt to play hooky from work. Right now I should be in bed though. I was supposed to get off work at 7am, but alas our breakfast girl is a flighty ninny who decided the roads were too icy, called at the last minute, so I was stuck at work an extra hour, then a half an hour to chip all the ice off my car. And now I am here-- toasty warm!

A good listener, you excel at helping others in practical ways.
In your spare time, you enjoy engaging your senses through art, cooking, and music.
You find it easy to be devoted to one person, who you do special things for.

In love, you express your emotions through actions.
Taking care of someone is how you love them. And you do it well!

At work, you do well in a structured environment. You complete tasks well and on time.
You would make a good interior designer, chef, or child psychologist.

How you see yourself: Competent, dependable, and detail oriented

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Boring, dominant, and stuck in a rut

ENTJ - The "Chief"
"ENTJs are natural born leaders. They live in a world of possibilities where they see all sorts challenges to be surmounted, and they want to be the ones responsible for surmounting them. They have a drive for leadership, which is well-served by their quickness to grasp complexities, their ability to absorb a large amount of impersonal information, and their quick and decisive judgments."
