Personality Type Test

[AngelicCarrot]

=-= But its all just fun, really. So who cares if it makes a mistake? Everything makes mistakes, even our own DNA makes mistakes, and the majority of people are okay, even though those mistakes are made.

The world and thought isn't a computer....

Not yet but it can happen in the far future.

[PyTom]

The world and thought isn't a computer....

What if someone (in a universe much larger than our own) set up a computer simulation of a universe the same size as ours. And let's say this was a very accurate simulation, such that it modeled the precise dynamics of every single sub-sub-atomic particle. And let's say in at least one small part of this huge simulation there were galaxies, stars, planets, plants, animals, and people. To the people in that part of the simulation, wouldn't their world seem as real as yours and mine?

[Samu-kun]

You're going beyond our level, Pytom. XD

=-= Oh shiz. The cylons are back to eat my brain that believes in imagination again.

Dream Idealist? I tend stick to what the universities use. The MBTI stuff. I suppose I shouldn't bash something I haven't tried but...

But in anycase, I am an INFP... taking com sci as a major. It is exactly like getting an artist to learn how to program... only I somehow had a knack for computers. It just means I can last far longer dealing with mushy emotional stuff than I can with computers.

By the way, this may be of use when trying to come up with not-typical-anime characters. At least I found this helpful when I was having trouble deciding how a certain character would act in a certain situation..

As best as I could tell, the ipersonic site mostly is MBTI, just dressed up with different names. I mean, the first three choices it gives you are between Extroversion and Introversion, Intuition and Sensing, and Thinking and Feeling. Sound familiar? I'm not sure why they have a different last question, but without going back and reading them again I suspect they're just different labels for the same concepts.


I think the main problem with the ipersonic approach is that in telling you the classification you're choosing, you're more likely to act on personal biases about the way you think you are rather than be accurate. For example, I instinctively picked "Oh, I'm clearly an introvert" for the first question, because hey - I do spend a reasonable amount of time alone. But every more-abstract Myers-Briggs test - the ones which ask you a longer series of less-direct questions - I've tried has marked me as an extrovert, albeit usually only by a small degree. And I can't really blame them; in a social situation I'll not behave in a particularly introverted manner, I just don't tend to spend much time seeking out those situations in the first place.

By the way, this may be of use when trying to come up with not-typical-anime characters.

Hey, that's not a bad idea. At least so far as the spectrum is a lot wider and the archetypes more diverse than just basing people's personalities on blood type.

I seem to be on the borderline of ISFP and ISTP... Which makes me either an Individualistic Doer or a Sensitive Doer. Hm, neither sound that much like me...

[chronoluminaire]

I'm an INTP, but I'm actually right on the dividing line between E and I. A lot of my RL friends think of me as very extrovert and bouncy, and I do have that side, but I need my time alone as well: I derive energy from both types of situation, and find too much of either draining.

I'm fairly strongly T rather than F; and I'm extremely strongly N and P. I'm scared to see all the Js here: you scary organised people (I know, J doesn't necessarily always mean organised, but...)

If you're neither one, then what are you? Dazed and confused? :p

Yes, we'll invade your home and drive you crazy by organizing, labeling and cleaning up your house until you have barely anything left and can't find anything you want when you want it!

[musical74]

ACK! Organized people! *hides all the.....boy I've got a heck of a lot of junk around here....how am I supposed to hide all of it from the organized people that are coming by with brooms and labels and organizational tools?*

Admit that I'm surprised to be the sole Good-Natured Realist so far

[DaFool]

Well, in the iPersonic test, I got Reliable Realist (RR).

In the longer test, I got INFJ (Introverted 44% Intuitive 50% Feeling 12% Judging 67%)

INFJ Identify Your Career with Jung Career Indicator™
INFJ type description by J. Butt and M.M. Heiss

You are:
moderately expressed introvert

moderately expressed intuitive personality

slightly expressed feeling personality

distinctively expressed judging personality

Mostly both tests gave me the same answer/outcome, and I agree with them. They fit me very well.

I also got RR, and in high school I remember being INFJ. However in my adult steady-(asshole)-state I tend to score ISTJ. Maybe I'm secretly longing to return to my genuine persona.

...oh, I know, it's college. Everyone, education is bad it will only turn you into an asshole. It won't even guarantee your future any more, while saddling you with more debt. For example, 40% of Duke's engineering graduates cannot get jobs in their fields, because most work has already been outsourced to China and India.

hmmm... is there any personality test that shows how obsessive-compulsive or emotionally unstable a person is? I'd love to try it.

I recommend marriage. Usually within a few years, all of the above should show.

EDIT: Now, for something serious, I finally took that longer test and I am ENFJ, apparently:

1% Extraverted
50% Intuitive
38% Feeling
33% Judging

Ehg... I'm an Idealist Teacher, apparently.

EDIT2: However, upon thinking about it, I have a very sneaking suspicion, that when I gave answers that I'm organized and keep appointments, it somehow interprets this as "realist" or less dreamy. It was very apparent in the question whether your desk is neat and orderly (which has nothing to do with whether you're organized - although my desk IS neat, but that's beacuse I like the aesthetics). So I try to be as efficient and organized as I can, to save time, to have more of it to think about other things. Usually when I was in my creative job, all the artists had desks buried with post-its and references, while I had my stack of folders and a clean desk. Which I'm afraid is always somehow misinterpreted because of this stereotype that organized people can't have fun and aren't artistically inclined. Well, I don't know, I suppose smart people were putting this together, but usually tests like these, especially short ones have to resort to stereotypes.

It tells me I am very schizotypal and borderline, haha.

On topic, apparently I am a Dreamy Idealist~ I'm guessing that's just another way of saying "INFP", since that's what I usually get for more complex tests like these. Wheeee~
