Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator

Some dude called Carl Jung came up with a theory regarding personality types, and then later on two women (Myers and Briggs) developed his idea, and formed a test.

Anyway, this personality type indicator analyses people's personalities under 4 axes: one for the source and direction of information expression; one for information perception; one for the processing of information; and one for information implementation.

To find your type, you can take a detailed, 72 questioned "yes/no answer" test:

Or you can take a 42, less abstract questioned "which most suits you" test:

Alternatively, if you believe that you are are good at self analysing, here is a 4 paragraph question test:

(Regardless of what test you take, what you are looking for is 4 initials, such as: "ESTJ" or something.)

For those of you who know about this personality type system, do you believe that it is accurate or has extreme flaws?

 

Some dude named Herodotus came up with a theory regarding the so-called "roundness of the earth," and then later on two other philosophers (Plato and Aristotle) developed his idea, and formed a globe.

Anyway, this round earth "analyses" people's arguments of 4 reasons why the earth is round: one for why ships in the distance appear below the horizon, one for the supposed concept of circumnavigation of the world, one for the idea that the stars in the sky look different on at different parts of the world, and one for the shadow of the Earth on the moon being round during an eclipse.

To find out your round earth type, you can view a detailed, 19 reference Wikipedia article:

Or you can view a less abstract chapter 8 round earth page at the NASA website:

Alternately, if you believe that the earth is indeed flat, here is a webpage for your retarded ass:

(regardless of which link you take, what you are seeing is shit everyone already knew about and has no reason for being posted about, much less having a new thread created for it)

For those of you who think this post is a waste of time, I agree.

 

*applauds Philes*

That was a truly magnificent display of snark and sarcasm, dear sir. I am impressed.

 

The funny thing is that I am a registered forum member of the Flat Earth Society (I'm a REer though).

 

I got ENFJ.

 

This thread is pure win. :lol:

 

No, this is in fact not a funny thing at all, but a sad and pathetic thing.

 

It's a very comedic place.

 

It is funny when they try to scientifically demonstrate why the earth is flat tho'.

Hmm, Curious.

 

I have heard of some kind of show that will scientifically prove that God exists.

This I heard from a guy in my class, who saw a Youtube clip of scientist scientifically explaining why they were morons, and wrong.

 

OK, out of curiosity, I took the third and the shortest one.

ESTPs Tend To Be:

• Highly energetic, charismatic & enthusiastic
• Able to adapt well to change & shift gears quickly
• Naturally persuasive; great at building consensus
• Keen observers; excellent memory for factual information & who said what
• Fun, approachable & able to instantly build rapport with most people
• Able to perform exceptionally well both under pressure & with little preparation

 

Alright, I caved and I took the damn test.

ENTP - Extravert, Intuitive, Thinker, Perciever. 2 - 5% of the population.

"ENTP's love excitement and challenge. They display great humor and optimism and tend to be enthusiastic, talkative, clever, good at many things and constantly striving to acquire additional competencies. They are fascinated with new ideas and are alert to all possibilities. They value their inspiration above all else and strive to turn their ideas into reality. Often irreverent and outspoken, they easily see flaws in arguments and often enjoy taking the other side of an issue. Most ENTP’s like to test limits and believe that rules are meant to be bent (if not broken). ENTPs are born enterprising. They have strong initiative and operate on creative impulse. ENTPs deal imaginatively with social relationships and often have a great number and variety of friends and acquaintances."

Yeah, me thinketh not. I'm crabby, snarky, hate 99.99% of the people I've met in my life, I'm talkative because I'm nervous most of the time, and writing is about the only thing I don't fuck up on a regular basis.

This test be bollocks.

 

I had the time, so I took the three of them, and the various result is this;
Also, group pressure

Test #1
ENTP
Extraverted Intuitive Thinking Perceiving
Strength of the preferences %
11 44 62 11


test #2
Your personality type is ISTP.
Introverted (I) 64% Extraverted (E) 36%

test #3

I guess ISTP the my thing.

 

You might be an INTP then, or an INTJ. I'd recommend taking a different test.

 

If you already know what your personality type is, why bother taking the damn test?

 

Well share it with us then.

 

Extravert, Sensor, Feeler, Perceiver (ESFP)
ESFPs represent between 4 and 9% of the U.S. population

• Keen observers with excellent memories for factual information & who said what
• Able to perform exceptionally well both under pressure & with little preparation
• Fun, approachable & able to instantly build rapport with most people
• Sensitive to people's needs & motivated to help them in real ways

Wow Arthgon, according to an internet test not only are you a keen observer, perform exceptionally under pressure, are fun, sensitive, persuasive and cooperative, it turns out you're also Oprah.

 

Yes, it was a big surprise that I am also an Oprah.
