So today, I got reminded that I took this test a couple of years ago and decided to take it again, but also post here to see how cubers personalities differ. Personality types change frequently for some, so I would like to see how people have changed. If this is your first time doing this test, just post your current type. If you have taken this test before, try and pinpoint when it was taken and post the result of that too. Every year or two should be enough to show any significant personality changes.

The tests aren't super reliable but this one seems to be all right and gives pretty accurate results.

http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp

But after that, go google your type. I find you need 3-4 different websites to give you a complete and full description, however, the first link at the end of the humanmetrics, the one that links to typelogic, seems to be sufficient.

To give you a very brief description:

E - Extrovert - You feel rejuvenated and at peace around people, you feel stressed out and restless alone.
I - Introvert - You feel calm and aware by yourself, you feel confused, cluttered, and tired out around people.

N - iNtuition - You understand and comprehend with your mind, what the eyes cannot. You see the big picture much easier.
S - Sensing - You trust and comprehend what your 5 senses give you. You will never miss details, and you are very appreciative of art in most cases.

T - Thinking - You learn things, and replicate, along with associate with hard facts, logic, and the like.
F - Feeling - You understand, appreciate, and communicate with your feelings, your beliefs, and your ideals.

P - Perceiving - You want to experience what is out there, not a fan of closure, you want to do as much as you can. You may be disorganized, and a big procrastinator.
J - Judging - You want to have closure with as much as you can, finish one thing completely before moving on. Never late for appointments and very organized, you are content with what you have and or know.


Then, there are the sub categories:

SJ - The Protectors

SP - The Creators

NT - The Intellectuals

NF - The Visionaries

Since those are such broad groups, I won't define them. Physically impossible. Ok, so not really, but that's too much detail for the forum limit to allow.

So get testing!

ENTJs have a natural tendency to marshall and direct. This may be expressed with the charm and finesse of a world leader or with the insensitivity of a cult leader. The ENTJ requires little encouragement to make a plan. One ENTJ put it this way... "I make these little plans that really don't have any importance to anyone else, and then feel compelled to carry them out." While "compelled" may not describe ENTJs as a group, nevertheless the bent to plan creatively and to make those plans reality is a common theme for NJ types.

ENTJs are often "larger than life" in describing their projects or proposals. This ability may be expressed as salesmanship, story-telling facility or stand-up comedy. In combination with the natural propensity for filibuster, our hero can make it very difficult for the customer to decline. TRADEMARK: -- "I'm really sorry you have to die." (I realize this is an overstatement. However, most Fs and other gentle souls usually chuckle knowingly at this description.)

ENTJs are decisive. They see what needs to be done, and frequently assign roles to their fellows. Few other types can equal their ability to remain resolute in conflict, sending the valiant (and often leading the charge) into the mouth of hell. When challenged, the ENTJ may by reflex become argumentative. Alternatively (s)he may unleash an icy gaze that serves notice: the ENTJ is not one to be trifled with.

I took this test last semester in psych, and my results were about the same. :) It was November-ish, I think.
 
Urgh what a horrible test. Ignoring the fact that Jung's theories in psychology are outdated, this is another one of those horrible tests where the options are often a matter of picking between two choices when neither apply, or both apply. This is a huge problem with all personality testing, and there is a much easier way to find out someone's personality - simply ask them. This why I think it is an area of psychology that should be abandoned.

My result was INTJ, but I already knew that before taking the test.

Also to the OP: what are you on about personalities changing all the time? I haven't actually seen any research into this matter (and if you are prepared to defend your assertion I expect you to provide evidence), but with my four years of studying psychology giving me an educated guess, I would say that this is a completely false statement to make. People don't just change from being an introvert to being an extrovert, or from being a "thinking" person to being a "feeling" person. The polarities between those classifications would require the person to go through significant life changes. The only cases I have heard of with significant personality changes occurring in people are cases where significant brain damage has occurred, and this certainly does not happen to many people.

Changes in results when taking this crappy test, however, I'm sure will be commonplace...

off-topic: What do you think of Lacan, btw? I know psychology/psychoanalysis are fairly different fields but he crops up in semiotics a lot and it makes me angry :P

Good point. And when you have so many different personality "types" I guess it wouldn't be that hard for one thing or other to come up as different from time to time.

To be honest I had never heard of him until now :p . Looking quickly at his wiki article, it seems like he was a hardcore Freudian. To be honest we did not learn much about Freud and psychoanalysis at my university. I think that sort of thing is a lot bigger in America, but not over here where there is an emphasis on science and less on speculation :p

(BTW just to point out, I love Freud, and actually did read his book The Psychopathology of Everyday Life for a class, but that was a class on history of psychology and I chose that book to read).

From Wikipedia: "INTJs are one of the rarest of the sixteen personality types, and account for about 1–4% of the population."

So that's what brings all us cubers together. Now we finally know!

I have studied Freud at length. His theories are basically seen as ridiculous in the U.S... his "popularity" in American circles is based upon his concept of talk therapy and really getting to know his patients. Unfortunately, any form of psychoanalysis is pretty much cost prohibitive here due to insurance reasons. True psychoanalysis takes month to years and insurance simply will not pay for that. Therapy here tends to be cognitive based and brief (6-10 sessions). Personally, I'm more of a behaviorist.

INTJ.
EDIT: I took the Keisey Temperament test, and I got Idealist.

I knew there was something.
I'm pretty much anti-social unless with family or with cubers.
Everybody else in my school is probably an Extrovert and an Artisian.
