What's your MBTI personality type?

[diggitydot]

DD I think that just means you don't lean strongly towards one or the other. In other words, you swing both ways .

I am really shocked at all the INTJs on here. Statistically speaking they're rare, females especially so.

Reaffirms my belief that we're pretty damn special around these parts.

My guess is that we "masterminds" are behind our spouses success... muhahahaha. I'm going lair shopping... who's in?

[Bittersweet]

I feel so alone and left out in my ISTJ-ness

Me, me! Dibs on a minion!

I feel so alone and left out in my ISTJ-ness

Me too in my ISFJ-ness.

Although only judging was strong for me so I guess I swing both ways.

Neiner - where do you find out about the population averages of these groups?

[DCJenn]

ENFJ here- as if that would be a surprise... explains why I got out of direct counseling and into manipulating everything in the background while talking to everyone.

E- 89 (!!)
N- 12
F- 38
J- 1(again- !!)

Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama- there's a threesome I think would be great to drink a beer with- except that Ronnie is dead. He's certainly welcome to join us though.

There's a chart on this website: http://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-p...is-my-type.asp

Here's one broken down into male vs female: http://www.capt.org/mbti-assessment/...requencies.htm

These charts are consistent with others I've seen in the past (mainly thinking of those that my former employer shared with us, the one that was certified in MBTI)

ESFJ--Michele, lets go talk about our feelings

Spot on--there is nothing I enjoy more than event planning and throwing parties, baking for people, etc. How the hell did I become an IT Analyst?

Guardians of birthdays, holidays and celebrations, ESFJs are generous entertainers. They enjoy and joyfully observe traditions and are liberal in giving, especially where custom prescribes.
All else being equal, ESFJs enjoy being in charge. They see problems clearly and delegate easily, work hard and play with zest. ESFJs, as do most SJs, bear strong allegiance to rights of seniority. They willingly provide service (which embodies life's meaning) and expect the same from others.
ESFJs are easily wounded. And when wounded, their emotions will not be contained. They by nature "wear their hearts on their sleeves," often exuding warmth and bonhomie, but not infrequently boiling over with the vexation of their souls. Some ESFJs channel these vibrant emotions into moving dramatic performances on stage and screen.
Strong, contradictory forces consume the ESFJ. Their sense of right and wrong wrestles with an overwhelming rescuing, 'mothering' drive. This sometimes results in swift, immediate action taken upon a transgressor, followed by stern reprimand; ultimately, however, the prodigal is wrested from the gallows of their folly, just as the noose tightens and all hope is lost, by the very executioner!
An ESFJ at odds with self is a remarkable sight. When a decision must be made, especially one involving the risk of conflict (abhorrent to ESFJs), there ensues an in-house wrestling match between the aforementioned black-and-white Values and the Nemesis of Discord. The contender pits self against self, once firmly deciding with the Right, then switching to Prudence to forestall hostilities, countered by unswerving Values, ad exhaustium, winner take all.
As caretakers, ESFJs sense danger all around--germs within, the elements without, unscrupulous malefactors, insidious character flaws. The world is a dangerous place, not to be trusted. Not that the ESFJ is paranoid; 'hyper-vigilant' would be more precise. And thus they serve excellently as protectors, outstanding in fields such as medical care and elementary education.

INFJ: Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging. Fits me to a "T", even down to suggesting counseling as a good profession.

http://typelogic.com/infj.html

"INFJs are deeply concerned about their relations with individuals as well as the state of humanity at large. They are, in fact, sometimes mistaken for extroverts because they appear so outgoing and are so genuinely interested in people -- a product of the Feeling function they most readily show to the world. On the contrary, INFJs are true introverts, who can only be emotionally intimate and fulfilled with a chosen few from among their long-term friends, family, or obvious "soul mates." While instinctively courting the personal and organizational demands continually made upon them by others, at intervals INFJs will suddenly withdraw into themselves, sometimes shutting out even their intimates. This apparent paradox is a necessary escape valve for them, providing both time to rebuild their depleted resources and a filter to prevent the emotional overload to which they are so susceptible as inherent "givers." As a pattern of behavior, it is perhaps the most confusing aspect of the enigmatic INFJ character to outsiders, and hence the most often misunderstood -- particularly by those who have little experience with this rare type."

This sums me up perfectly. People are always so shocked when I tell them I am a true introvert, because you'd never know it if you just met me. DH is the same way. We both "look" like extroverts in our interactions with others, but it is our quiet alone time that recharges our batteries.

I highly recommend The Introvert Advantage for my fellow introverts.

Ok, WGW it's you and me! I'm a INFJ and I'm really surprised how accurate the description is for me, my strengths and weaknesses. Has that book really helped you?

ST, I knew there was a reason I told told you I thought you were me pre-kids!!!

From what you've told me/I've seen, our parenting styles/views are very very similar!

I - 44
N - 33
T - 1
J - 67

Most of those questions seemed to ask the same thing but in different ways.

moderately expressed introvert
moderately expressed intuitive personality
slightly expressed thinking personality
distinctively expressed judging personality

I remember doing this before and I think I got the same thing. It was a long time ago. I read the description and it fits me pretty well. I also kind of did already go into some of those fields listed. However, I think the list is very limited and could offer more suggestions.

[BonBon]

I cannot get over all the INTJs!! I have never encountered a female INTJ "in the wild", lol.

I appreciate their distinction between introvert vs extrovert. I think the general use of the terms seems to be introvert = shy, extrovert = outgoing. I'm am not shy at all, but at the same time, I can only tolerate so much "people time" before having to retreat. WGW, I'm going to check out that book. I have "Quiet" on hold at the library, too.

ISFJ. Introverted: 22 Sensing: 12 Feeling: 25 Judging: 89

The analysis is me to a T! Scary! I actually wanted to forward it to the people in my life, since I dislike confrontation and often feel unappreciated!

Mommax, I wanted to post it on FB with a description of my INTJ-ness, because some people (ahem, family) do not get me at.all. I think this goes a long way toward understanding why the people around you think the way that they do. Unfortunately for the needy types I have to put up with, I don't care. So I guess understanding might be good, but not necessarily change anything.
