Too cool for subject

I thought it was way off base -- I have tested as INFJ with a secondary tendency towards ENFJ consistently for the last 20 years. This had me as an ISTP -- no way!

Hey, it's a meme... I don't suppose we're meant to take it seriously or anything. ::G:: It got my job, but that's about it. (o:

Now *I'm* confused -- I thought you were mocking its inaccuracy and I was agreeing. It was a super-brief version of the Myers-Briggs personality type test -- I've taken it for various reasons ranging from job counseling to people goofing around at a party over the years -- and this got 3 out of 4 wrong for results that I have gotten consistently over a 20 year period -- the one that it got right is the only one that has varied in my testing. Not that most online quizzes give a true and accurate result, but most of them are asking which Doctor I am or something. ;-)

I honestly don't know if it's inaccurate or not. I don't think of myself as an introvert, but, maybe I am...? LOL! How would I know?

I'd never heard of the Myers-Briggs test till I did a bit of googling around 'INFP', which was fun and interesting, but I wouldn't expect a fun-meme to be very accurate in these matters.

As I said to someone else, they also reckon I have a violet aura, an orange soul and really good Karma, which is, like, really groovy, but not that illuminating (man). ::giggle::

Actually, after I responded, I realized that my husband, who's English, had never heard of it either until he took one when he was seeing a career counselor over here -- so maybe it's much more of an American thing.

It just made me laugh because the type it was claiming for me is *sooo* completely not me in any way shape or form, and since I do know a fair bit about these categories . . . . Whereas it is clear that I *am* the Ninth Doctor, Dante (in the "what famous author are you?" quiz) and purple ("what color are you?").

The introversion/extroversion thing is actually interesting -- the principle behind it isn't whether you like people or are social, but whether you gain energy around people or need to be alone to recharge. So, although I love to socialize, I get worn out being around friends all the time and need alone time -- so on the Myers/Briggs test I score an I. (Although that's the one that's always most borderline.) I probably should have thought about that before I got married and decided to live in a tiny Manhattan apartment. ;-)
