Personalities

[AVB]

If you really want to know your personality type the MMPI-2 (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory 2) is probably the most comprehensive test, a whole bunch more then 60 questions too.

INTJ for me I actually just had to take this test a week ago for one of my courses. Then I had to write a paper about it...gotta love english comp.

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

Extraverted

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......

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.

Well I looked again and it's not in my Websters 9th New Collegiate Dictionary copyright date 1990. I've never in my life seen extroverted spelled extraverted. It may be a "variant" but it's not the preferred variant that's used in this country.

As you pointed out the primary use is in Europe, not here in the US. (oh excuse me, are you using a European variant of "primary" which is pirmary? I am so confused).

We didn't "screw it up" we just decided to spell it extrovert with an "o" not an "a"

Give it up CC, my Websters New 3rd International (one of those 2800 page behemoths from 1971) has it listed.

Well there you have it - "New Collegiate" - they just don't make them as good as they used to anymore. (explains the crop of idiots spewing out of colleges these days )

ESFJ....and it was pretty accurate, with a few exceptions.

CC - Sorry if my comment was not phrased correctly. I meant it to be tongue-in-cheek. When spending time with my Brit friends I am always (good-naturedly) harrassed about how American ruined English.

More introverts (Intraverts? <grin>) on the boards than I expected.

Here's a question - how many would say that the descriptions sound reasonable when reading our BOTLs results?

AVB, got a link to that MMPI2 - or is it not a "freeware" test?

-K-

It is not a freeware test. You can Google MMPI and find out everything you need to know about it if you are still interested.

Took this test about 14 years ago and then took it again to see what would happen. :0 Well, it appears I'm still a DRAMA QUEEN!! :laugh:
(Damn! I hate it when the old man is right!!) ESFJ (Although, I do believe a do have tendencies to behave as if I were an ENFJ sometimes.)

And DON'T as the Commander (Preembargo, for you Newer-than-us-Nooblers) to take the test, he HATES psych tests and considers them all to be "psycho-babble" Oh, and you didn't hear that from me :whistling:


Oh, hey! Who takes the test if you have a split personality?
