What's your MBTI personality type?

[weeniegeniewife]

INFJ

Most people that know me expect me to come out on the E scale because I can sort of pull it together socially and engage ... but I much prefer to be by myself than in groups or socializing much of the time.

100% ditto for me (your fellow INFJ!).

Kris, get out! I would have never pegged you as an "I".

With this being said, I'm drawn to "I"s but always forget taht they are "I"s because I tend to be with them in one on one situations. Weird.

LOL. See!

I was actually horrified at the prospect of rushing a sorority in college. My mom forced me to go to the initial Greek meeting and when I decided not to sign up, she called the person in charge and signed me up ... for me. I didn't attend any events or Rush and she was sooo disappointed! Some of it might just be good old-fashioned social anxiety, but ultimately, I can put on a game face and get myself through. I even end up telling lively, funny stories at card club, etc ... but the entire time I'm just thinking that I can't wait to have cards end! I enjoy people in doses and on my terms, but for the most part I'm pretty solitary.

This explains why I don't have many iMSN meetings under my belt and probably never will have them.

I'm exactly the same way. There are VERY few people who make it into my "inner circle".

Y'all made the cut.

Here's how I see the difference between E (me) and I (my husband)- I draw energy from other people and external resources- I can go to DC, NYC, Vegas and get energized. My husband enjoys people but finds them to be draining- he needs time away to recharge. He likes the energy of cities but has to have a quiet space within to get away. Not me. I am far needier if I'm alone.

My mother is an I disguised as an E and my father is an E disguised as an I. It's funny to watch, in fact. Everyone thinks my dad is really shy and it's not that, it's that he HATES small group interactions - put him in a room with 50 people though and he's the golden boy. My mother appears to be very outgoing and gregarious but really- she wants nothing more than quiet time by herself.

This is totally me. People are shocked and blown away when they find out I am a true introvert. It's a badge I wear proudly.

The older I get, the more I feel this way. While I do enjoy the social interactions, after a while they wear me out and I just want to be alone.

This is my dad exactly. One on one, he can be awkward as hell. But he *kills* at karaoke!

I'm going to breach netiquette here by resurrecting a dormant thread, but I have to say that this was wildly illuminating to have my mom and my husband take this test. It literally spelled out areas of friction for each relationship with a scary amount of clarity. I highly recommend having your SO take this test.

I am ENFJ and DH is INTJ. His T and my F bump into each other. Sometimes I swear he is part Vulcan while he becomes exasperated by sentiments. His job exhausts his "I" personality so that when I want to go out and socialize he occasionally balks. I admire his decisiveness but literally can't understand when he doesn't care if someone likes him. Mind boggling.

My Mom is ESFJ. True to form, she avoids conflict, can gets her feelings hurt, and absolutely lives to organize people, places, and things.

I had my college friends take this test and it was pretty accurate for all of them. It also helped explain how we interacted-- Super fun and enlightening.

My kids are probably still too young for this but I have my guesses about some of their letters. My oldest is most likely an E while my middle most likely is an I and T like her dad.

Anyone else analyze the peeps in their life? What did you find out?

[diggitydot]

Oh, yeah -- I did my mom and DH. Both are INFJs (different numbers, though) and I'm an EFNJ.

[medpedspouse]

I fall towards the middle for the first three and as such will change depending on my mood or current life issues. For example, sometimes I seek situations with people so I can get energy but other times after being around people, I seek time by myself to recharge. However, the J - oh the J is pretty strong. DH and my mom are Ps and I have to reign in the J and give them time to process and consider all options all.the.time.

[oceanchild]

The first time DH and I really got to know each other (in high school) was when we were both in this leadership program, and they had us all take an MBTI-type test and put us on a spectrum. DH and I were right next to each other on the spectrum. So, we're similar.

I'm an ISFJ, by the way. Deep in the club of the desperate to be loved.

[niener]

DH and I are the same type. We're pretty similar in the grand scheme of things, which leads to a lot of agreement and not a lot of arguing on most things. Strangely, most of our close friends are very different types from us - I guess the "opposites attract" thing comes into play with them rather than with each other.

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.

I'm just curious. My INTJ scores says I'm a distinctively expressed judging personality. The score seems high at 67. I'm not sure if that's something that I should embrace or work on?

Does it mean people perceive me the most as a judgmental person? If so I'm not sure that's such a good thing with being an introvert.

[Curegirl]

Cinderella, my SO is an INTJ and maybe it's different for men? But he's either trying to be social or seems completely withdrawn when around people. He has opinions on everything under the sun and very few people can see that it doesn't come from a pompous place. As an INFJ, I want constant validation of feelings and reassurances and he thinks if he hasn't said otherwise, nothing's changed. I think you are what you are and for the most part, you stick with people who accept that even if they don't quite understand it at times.
