Personalities

[Treamayne]

I've been using a free test I found to develope a sense of characters I write in my fiction. I answer the questions the way my character would, read the result and use that to help me portray a well-rounded character.

I, of course, also did one on myself - if just to see the result. I was fairly surprised at how accurate it seemed. However, I know these are written so generically that you can read yourself into anything. It's still an interesting tidbit I thought I'd share. I'd be interested in seeing what other "types" of people lurk the forum here at CP.

I'm an INTJ.

Here's the test, for anyone interested. It is about 60 questions and takes 5 minutes or so...

Type Test

-K-

 

[Swifty]

I have taken the Myers Briggs test many times. I am a 1%er, an INFP. Only 1% of the population has this personality profile.

 

[PuroEsq]

ENTJ here . . . and I have seen this before too, but it is still interesting.

 

[Matt R]

ENTJ... pretty close, I would think, though I didn't spend time reading the whole profile.

 

[BkCloud114]

ESTJ........

 

[Seamus]

ENTJ also.

 

[Cheeze]

ENFJ

56 25 6 33

 

[Eshaw99]

ESTP

WTF??

It's "ExtrOvertd" not "ExtrAverted"

Sorry but I'm not impressed with a test designed by someone who doesn't know how to spell extroverted.

I'm not even going to waste my time....

 

[cigarsarge]

ISTJ :thumbs: George H.W.Bush is one also.

Crabtree, I believe EXTRAVERTED can be correctly used in this situation, as an adjective.

Extraverted

 

[PetersCreek]

Took it here at work a while back. I'm an INTP (at work, anyway)...the only one of almost a hundred folks in the office. The vast majority of our Aviation Safety Inspectors are ISTJs.

I have known about this test for years and I am an XNFP.

Well that word has been invented recently then because it's not in my dictionary which is less than ten years old. Oh never mind, you found it on the internet so it must be a word, huh? Again, it might be a "word" now but it never used to be.

This crap is ridiculous and it would not be the first time a word has been invented because so many morons spelled the original word wrong so many times......

Seems like a perfectly cromulent word to me...

 

[grand cru no 2]

ENTJ Here

Seems pretty accurate. Says barely more than 2% of the population but there are several in this thread. hmmm....

Actually CC, it is in my "Webster's Third New International Dictionary: Unabridged Edition" Published 1986 ISBN 0-85229-503-0. Three volumns and 2600+ pages of definition and etymological goodness.

Etravert - Var of Modification from German: Extravertiert Etymology - Latin: Extra + Vertere. Pirmary use is Europe.

It seems to be one of the words we Americans screwed up and decided our way was best. Considering this is based on the Jung typology test and he is Swiss.... I would guess that either is an acceptable method.

Anywho - it was all for fun anyway.

You don't take these things to well do you? I was only busting your balls because I have seen it spelled EXTRAVERT in textbooks, psychology being one of my majors in college.

This test and Myers-Briggs(in fact Myers-Briggs is an extension of Jung's test I think) are pretty similar there are a lot variations of both of course. But Myers-Briggs is still used today to find personality types and they use the EXTRAVERT form of the word, though both forms are acceptable.

Myers-Briggs

So it is not complete crap as some might say. I think many businesses actually use Myers-Briggs today. Good stuff Treamayne!

EXTRAVERTED.... Definition

Probably on the same trend as Ebonics...... take words that are used in everyday life, no matter how incorrectly, and make them legitimate words.

When Bill went to school it probably wasn't a word...... :laugh:
