CampinWithaMissingPerson 2,025 Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) Personality Test Was bored and got shot this link by someone else. The breakdown after you get your result goes in depth and I gotta say it was damn near 100% on point (or atleast in my ego's opinion.) I answered as honestly as I could, even cringing at some of my answers because I didn't like those certain things about myself but I wanted to get the most accurate read out at the end. What did y'all get? I got INTP The INTP personality type is fairly rare, making up only three percent of the population, which is definitely a good thing for them, as there’s nothing they’d be more unhappy about than being “common”. INTPs pride themselves on their inventiveness and creativity, their unique perspective and vigorous intellect. Usually known as the philosopher, the architect, or the dreamy professor, INTPs have been responsible for many scientific discoveries throughout history. INTPs are known for their brilliant theories and unrelenting logic – in fact, they are considered the most logically precise of all the personality types. They love patterns, and spotting discrepancies between statements could almost be described as a hobby, making it a bad idea to lie to an INTP. Ironically, owing to their Prospecting (P) trait, INTPs’ word should be taken with a grain of salt – it’s not that they are dishonest, but INTPs tend to share thoughts that are not fully developed, using others as a sounding board for ideas and theories in a debate against themselves rather than as actual conversation partners. This may make them appear unreliable, but in reality no one is more enthusiastic and capable of spotting a problem, drilling through the endless factors and details that encompass the issue and developing a unique and viable solution than INTPs – just don’t expect punctual progress reports. People who share the INTP personality type aren’t interested in practical, day-to-day activities and maintenance, but when they find an environment where their creative genius and potential can be expressed, there is no limit to the time and energy INTPs will expend in developing an insightful and unbiased solution. They may appear to drift about in an unending daydream, but INTPs’ thought process is unceasing, and their minds buzz with ideas from the moment they wake up. This constant thinking can have the effect of making them look pensive and detached, as they are often conducting full-fledged debates in their own heads, but really INTPs are quite relaxed and friendly when they are with people they know, or who share their interests. However, this can be replaced by overwhelming shyness when INTPs are among unfamiliar faces, and friendly banter can quickly become combative if they believe their logical conclusions or theories are being criticized. When INTPs are particularly excited, the conversation can border on incoherence as they try to explain the daisy-chain of logical conclusions that led to the formation of their latest idea. Oftentimes, INTPs will opt to simply move on from a topic before it’s ever understood what they were trying to say, rather than try to lay things out in plain terms. The reverse can also be true when people explain their thought processes to INTPs in terms of subjectivity and feeling. Imagine an immensely complicated clockwork, taking in every fact and idea possible, processing them with a heavy dose of creative reasoning and returning the most logically sound results available – this is how the INTP mind works, and this type has little tolerance for an emotional monkey-wrench jamming their machines. Further, with Thinking (T) as one of their governing traits, INTPs are unlikely to understand emotional complaints at all, and their friends won’t find a bedrock of emotional support in them. INTPs would much rather make a series of logical suggestions for how to resolve the underlying issue, a perspective that is not always welcomed by their Feeling (F) companions. This will likely extend to most social conventions and goals as well, like planning dinners and getting married, as INTPs are far more concerned with originality and efficient results. The one thing that really holds INTPs back their restless and pervasive fear of failure. INTPs are so prone to reassessing their own thoughts and theories, worrying that they’ve missed some critical piece of the puzzle, that they can stagnate, lost in an intangible world where their thoughts are never truly applied. Overcoming this self-doubt stands as the greatest challenge INTPs are likely to face, but the intellectual gifts – big and small – bestowed on the world when they do makes it worth the fight. Famous INTP personalities include: Socrates Rene Descartes Blaise Pascal Isaac Newton Carl Jung Albert Einstein James Madison Dwight D. Eisenhower Gerald Ford So with that list of people it's pretty obvious my life thus far is a complete and utter failure.

RazorStar 4,025 Posted August 11, 2014 ISTP Mind 60% Introverted Energy 28% Observant Nature 12% Thinking Tactics 11% Prospecting Identity 69% Turbulent ISTPs love to explore with their hands and their eyes, touching and examining the world around them with cool rationalism and spirited curiosity. ISTPs are natural Makers, moving from project to project, building the useful and the superfluous for the fun of it, and learning from their environment as they go. Often mechanics and engineers, ISTPs find no greater joy than in getting their hands dirty pulling things apart and putting them back together, just a little bit better than they were before. ISTPs explore ideas through creating, troubleshooting, trial and error and first-hand experience. They enjoy having other people take an interest in their projects and sometimes don’t even mind them getting into their space, so long as those people don’t interfere with ISTPs’ principles and freedom, and so long as they get to enjoy taking an interest in those people’s work themselves. ISTPs enjoy lending a hand and sharing their experience directly, especially with the people they care about, and it’s a shame they’re so uncommon, making up only about five percent of the population. ISTP women are especially rare, and the typical gender roles that society tends to expect can be a poor fit – they’ll often be seen as tomboys from a young age. While their mechanical tendencies may make them appear simple at a glance, ISTPs are actually quite enigmatic. Friendly and physical but very private, calm but suddenly spontaneous, extremely curious but unable to stay focused on formal studies, ISTPs can be a challenge to predict, even by their friends and loved ones. ISTPs may seem very loyal and steady, ever rational, but they can also build up a store of impulsive energy that can explode without warning, carrying their interests in bold new directions. ISTPs are like a river, calmly going with the flow – until enough seismic energy builds up to shift the valleys that guide it. Rather than the sort of dreamy optimism that is more common to say, Diplomat (NF) types, ISTPs’ decisions stem from a sense of practical realism. ISTPs aren’t on some sort of vision quest when they make their seismic shift, they’re merely exploring the viability of a new interest. But what’s really at their heart is a strong sense of practical fairness, a very strong “do unto others” attitude, which really helps to explain many of ISTPs’ puzzling traits. Instead of showing this quality through an abundance of caution as more sensitive types would though, ISTPs are likely to be overly permissive, accepting likewise retaliation, good or bad, as fair play. The biggest issue ISTPs are likely to face is that they often act preemptively, taking for granted their permissive nature and assuming that others are the same. They’ll be the first to tell an insensitive joke, get overly involved in someone else’s project, roughhouse and play around, or suddenly change their plans because something more interesting came up. ISTPs will come to learn that many other personality types have much more firmly drawn lines on rules and acceptable behavior than they do – they don’t want to hear an insensitive joke, and certainly wouldn’t tell one back, and they wouldn’t want to engage in horseplay, even with a willing party. If a situation is already emotionally charged, violating these boundaries can backfire tremendously. ISTPs have a particular difficulty in predicting emotional responses, and this is ironically a very fair arrangement, given how difficult it is to gauge ISTPs’ emotions and motivations. However, their tendency to explore these relationships through their actions rather than through empathy can lead to some very frustrating situations. ISTPs struggle with boundaries and guidelines, preferring the freedom to move about and color outside the lines if they need to. Finding an environment where they can work with good friends who understand their style and unpredictability, combining their creativity, sense of humor and hands-on approach to build practical solutions and things, will give ISTPs many happy years of building useful boxes – and admiring them from the outside. Famous ISTPs: Clint Eastwood Milla Jovovich Frank Zappa Zachary Taylor Tom Cruise “Michael Westen” from Burn Notice “Jack Bauer” from 24 “Indiana Jones” from Indiana Jones series “John McClane” from Die Hard series “Angus MacGyver” from MacGyver So yeah, pretty interesting. I took this a few years back and had an INTJ personality type, which is almost completely on the opposite end of the spectrum. I guess that makes sense, since I ended up with a turbulent identity, whatever that's supposed to mean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.AirMcNair. 1,232 Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) INTJ personalityIt’s lonely at the top, and being one of the rarest and most strategically capable personality types, INTJs know this all too well. INTJs form just two percent of the population, and women of this personality type are especially rare, forming just 0.8% of the population – it is often a challenge for them to find like-minded individuals who are able to keep up with their relentless intellectualism and chess-like maneuvering. INTJs are imaginative yet decisive, ambitious yet private, amazingly curious, but only if their interest is piqued. Smart and unconventionalWith a natural thirst for knowledge that shows itself early in life, INTJs are often given the title of “bookworm” as children. While this may be intended as an insult by their peers, they more than likely identify with it and are even proud of it, greatly enjoying their broad and deep body of knowledge. INTJs enjoy sharing what they know as well, confident in their mastery of their chosen subjects, but owing to their Intuitive (N) and Judging (J) traits, they prefer to design and execute a brilliant plan within their field rather than share opinions on “uninteresting” distractions like gossip. A paradox to most observers, INTJs are able to live by glaring contradictions that nonetheless make perfect sense – from a rational perspective. For example, INTJs are simultaneously the most starry-eyed idealists and the bitterest of cynics, a seemingly impossible conflict. But this is because INTJ types tend to believe that with effort, intelligence and consideration, nothing is impossible, while at the same time they believe that people are too lazy, short-sighted or self-serving to actually achieve those fantastic results. Yet that cynical view of reality is unlikely to stop an interested INTJ from achieving a result they believe to be relevant. "You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant."Harlan Ellison Independence personifiedINTJs radiate self-confidence and an aura of mystery, and their insightful observations, original ideas and formidable logic enable them to push change through with sheer willpower and force of personality. At times it will seem that INTJs are bent on deconstructing and rebuilding every idea and system they come into contact with, employing a sense of perfectionism and even morality to this work. Anyone who doesn’t have the talent to keep up with INTJs’ processes, or worse yet, doesn’t see the point of them, is likely to immediately and permanently lose their respect. Rules, limitations and traditions are anathema to the INTJ personality type – everything should be open to questioning and reevaluation, and if they see a way, INTJs will often act unilaterally to enact their technically superior, sometimes insensitive, and almost always unorthodox methods and ideas. This isn’t to be misunderstood as impulsiveness – INTJs will strive to remain rational no matter how attractive the end goal may be, and every idea, whether generated internally or soaked in from the outside world, must pass the ruthless and ever-present “Is this going to work?” filter. This mechanism is applied at all times, to all things and all people, and this is often where INTJ personality types run into trouble. ...yet not everything can be analyzed INTJs are brilliant and confident in bodies of knowledge they have taken the time to understand, but unfortunately the social contract is unlikely to be one of those subjects. White lies and small talk are hard enough as it is for a type that craves truth and depth, but INTJs will go so far as to see many social conventions as downright stupid. Ironically, it is often best for them to remain where they are comfortable – out of the spotlight – where the natural confidence prevalent in INTJs as they work with the familiar can serve as its own beacon, attracting people, romantically or otherwise, of similar temperament and interests. INTJs are defined by their tendency to move through life as though it were a giant chess board, pieces constantly shifting with consideration and intelligence, always assessing new tactics, strategies and contingency plans, constantly outmaneuvering their peers in order to maintain control of a situation while maximizing their freedom to move about. This isn’t meant to suggest that INTJs act without conscience, but to many Feeling (F) types, INTJs’ distaste for acting on emotion can make it seem that way, and it explains why many fictional villains (and misunderstood heroes) are modeled on this personality type.

Sarge+ 3,436 Posted August 11, 2014 ISFJ STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES ISFJ STRENGTHS Very supportive. ISFJs are always willing to help other people, sharing their knowledge and experience with their colleagues, classmates, or friends. People with this personality type strive for win-win situations, choosing empathy over judgment wherever possible. Enthusiastic. ISFJ personalities want to make a difference and are willing to spend a lot of time and effort fighting for or contributing to a worthy cause. It does not really matter if that is a simple task or a global initiative; the ISFJ will jump right in if the idea is aligned with their goals. Loyal and hard-working. ISFJs are very loyal and often get emotionally attached to a specific idea or a company. They will work very hard and do everything they can to meet their obligations. Imaginative and observant. People with the ISFJ personality type have their feet firmly planted on the ground, but they are also very imaginative, especially if something fascinates and inspires them. Furthermore, ISFJs also tend to be very observant individuals, able to pick up the smallest cues, especially when it comes to someone else’s emotional state. Reliable and patient. ISFJs are meticulous and careful individuals, always making sure that their work is completed to the highest standard and sometimes even going beyond what is required. Good practical skills. ISFJ personalities have no difficulties handling practical tasks. Their sense of beauty and harmony is unmatched, and they do not shy away from mundane, routine tasks. Not surprisingly, ISFJs are great family people, always able and willing to take care of their loved ones. ISFJ WEAKNESSES Humble and shy. ISFJs are often reluctant to say what they truly think or present their achievements, especially in a competitive environment. This can hinder their career progress and cause frustration and disappointment. Overload themselves. ISFJs’ perfectionism, combined with their strong sense of duty, often pushes them to take on too much work—and as already discussed above, ISFJs always want to make sure that everything is completed perfectly. Not surprisingly, this can cause a lot of stress and anxiety for an ISFJ, especially if other people abuse their good nature. Take many things too personally. ISFJs are very sensitive to conflict and criticism, taking critical comments very personally. They may also have difficulties separating their professional and personal lives, allowing their worries about work to affect everything else. Reluctant to change. ISFJ personalities value traditions very highly and may be unwilling to try out new things or change their habits, even when that would make sense from the rational perspective. Too altruistic. ISFJs tend to be very good-natured, warm individuals and they are likely to find it difficult to refuse requests for help. Unfortunately, this often results in the ISFJ getting overloaded with other people’s work or problems. Repress their feelings. People with this personality type are private and even somewhat shy. Not surprisingly, they tend to repress their feelings instead of expressing them in a healthy way. This in turn increases their stress levels and can cause a lot of frustration further down the road.

BJORN 679 Posted August 11, 2014 Famous ISTJs: George Washington Andrew Johnson Benjamin Harrison Herbert Hoover George H.W. Bush Angela Merkel Natalie Portman Hermoine Granger from Harry Potter Adrain Monk from Monk Dana Scully from X-Files ISTJ PERSONALITy The ISTJ personality type is thought to be the most abundant, making up around 13% of the population. Their defining characteristics of integrity, practical logic and tireless dedication to duty make ISTJs a vital core to many families, as well as organizations that uphold traditions, rules and standards, such as law offices, regulatory bodies and even military. ISTJs enjoy taking responsibility for their actions, and take pride in the work they do – when working towards a goal, ISTJs will hold back none of their time and energy completing each relevant task with accuracy and patience. My observation is that whenever one person is found adequate to the discharge of a duty… it is worse executed by two persons, and scarcely done at all if three or more are employed therein. George WashingtonOwing to their Observant (S) trait, ISTJs are unlikely to make many assumptions, instead analyzing their surroundings, checking their facts and arriving at practical courses of action. ISTJs are no-nonsense, and when they’ve made a decision, they will relay the facts necessary to achieve their goal, expecting others to grasp the situation immediately and to take action. ISTJs have little tolerance for indecisiveness, but will even more quickly lose patience if their chosen course is challenged with competing theories, especially if they seem impractical or ignore details – if a challenge becomes a time-consuming debate, ISTJs will become noticeably angry as deadlines tick nearer. When ISTJs say they are going to get something done, they do it, meeting their obligations no matter the personal cost, and they are baffled by people who don’t hold their own word in the same respect. Combining laziness and dishonesty is the quickest way to get on ISTJs’ bad side. Consequently, ISTJs often prefer to work alone, or at least have their authority clearly established by hierarchy, where they can set and achieve their goals without debate or worry over other’s reliability. ISTJs have sharp, fact-based minds, and prefer autonomy and self-sufficiency to reliance on someone or something. Dependency on others is often seen by ISTJs as a weakness, and their passion for duty, dependability and impeccable personal integrity forbid falling into such a trap. This sense of personal integrity is core to ISTJs, and goes beyond their own minds – ISTJs will adhere to established rules and guidelines almost no matter the cost, reporting their own mistakes and telling the truth even when the consequences for doing so could be disastrous. To ISTJs, honesty is far more important than emotional considerations, and their blunt approach leaves others with the false impression that ISTJs are cold, or even robotic. ISTJs may struggle to express emotion or affection outwardly, but the suggestion that they don’t feel, or worse have no personality at all, is deeply hurtful to them. ISTJs’ dedication is an excellent quality, allowing them to accomplish much, but it is also a core weakness that less scrupulous individuals will take advantage of. ISTJs seek stability and security, considering it their duty to maintain a smooth operation, and they may find that their coworkers and significant others will shift their responsibilities onto them, knowing that they will always take up the slack. ISTJs tend to keep their opinions to themselves and let the facts do the talking, but it can be a long time before observable evidence tells the whole story. ISTJs need to remember to take care of themselves – their stubborn dedication to maintaining stability and efficiency can compromise those goals in the long term as others lean ever-harder on them, creating an emotional strain that can go unexpressed for years, only finally coming out after it’s too late to fix. If they can find coworkers and spouses who genuinely appreciate and complement their qualities, who enjoy the brightness, clarity and dependability that they offer, ISTJs will find that their stabilizing role is a tremendously satisfying one, knowing that they are part of a system that works. Pretty accurate, indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dunno what that means (other than I hate sliding scales of agree/disagree). Turns out Campin and I are the same person.
