myers-briggs and your occupation

[Semantics]

INFJ: "Author". Strong drive and enjoyment to help others. Complex personality. 1% of the total population. These are serious students and workers who really want to contribute. They are private and easily hurt. They make good spouses, but tend to be physically reserved. People often think they are psychic. They make good therapists, general practitioners, ministers, and so on.


According to this, it sounds like I'm appropriately placed in social work.

Because your answers in one or more categories were split 50/50,
your personality type, XNTP, (an 'X' represents a split), is not perfectly defined.

Pfffffttt! :P That's not helpful.. or is it? I'm all and none? A Quantum MB?

[Queerasfck]

Your Personality type is ISFJ

These people are service and work oriented - very loyal. They may suffer from fatigue and tend to be attracted to troublemakers. Yes, I am VERY attracted to troublemakers, one in particular.

INFP


INFP's feel internal turmoil when they find themselves in situations in which there is conflict between their inner code of ethics and their relationships with others. They feel caught between pleasing others and maintaining their own integrity. Their natural tendency to identify with others, compounded with their self-sacrificial dispositions, tends to leave them confused as to who they really are. Their quiet personalities further feeds their feelings of depersonalization. The INFP's quest for self-identity then seems even more alluring — but increasingly impossible to attain.

A lot of the above does not fit- but I am introverted and require a lot of solitude.


As with all NFs, the INFP will feel lost and perplexed at stressful times. As stress builds, INFP's become disconnected from their own personality and perceived place in life. They will lose sight of who they are in relation to time and place. They may not make basic observations, while instead they will focus on the more abstract and symbolic meanings of a particular interaction. This can sometimes baffle those who expect more direct communication and a fairly concrete relationship.

Hummmmm... I am an abstract and analytical thinker.

Well, I'm a retired professor, psychotherapist, trainer and social worker! And a poet and began career building as an art student and was interested in the performing arts (singer). AND, I did seriously consider becomming a minister at one time! I used bold for every occupation I have done on the list.

Hey all!

Just wanted to toss something out here, maybe clear up a little confusion or whatever. A number of folks have commented on how their codes have changed at different times - that's not terribly unusual. I haven't taken the test from the link on this thread, so I'm not sure how it presents the results, but a myer's briggs given and scored by a clinician is going to report the four dimensions along dimensions. For instance, the first code is Extroversion/Introversion. On the results printout you'd get a line with 100% E on one end and 100% I on the other end. While I suppose statistically speaking are probably a few who end up on either end, most of us fall somewhere in between the two. It's often the case that one or more codes fall more towards the middle, and those are the ones that may change over time. Codes that fall more towards either end tend to be stable over time. So there is room for some change and it's actually quite common. In fact, if you know that you fall close to the middle on a dimension it'd be good to read over the description of both ends for that dimension as you're probably a combination of the two.

Happy Myers-brigging!

INTJ

INTJ: "Scientist". Most self-confident and pragmatic of all the types. Decisions come very easily. These are the most independent of all types. They love logic and ideas and are drawn to scientific research. They can be rather single-minded, though.. 1% of the total population.

I'm an annoying planner.

ESFJ "Seller": Most sociable of all types. Outstanding host or hostesses. They may be dependent, first on parents and later on spouses. They excel in service occupations involving personal contact. 13% of the total population.


Hmmm..I suppose that "nurse" fits as a service occupation involving personal contact.

[Rockinonahigh]

I took this test years ago but can't remember what the results were. All I remember is that me and one other person (a person I did not particularly like) had the same results. So there ended my enthusiasm for personality tests lol.

I took it again though. I'm an ISTJ. No idea what that means except it says I should be an accountant. Since I hate math and numbers it doesn't really fit me. Give me a good book any day.

I so wish I had taken this in elementary school. My mom could have been spared so much! LOL It definitely helped in High School. I haven't moved much in the scores.

(Funny...I took this test 6 years ago as a job requirement, and I scored the same as I did today)

ISTP's value privacy and sometimes keep important issues to themselves. Their concern for the present moment and their inability to recognize the importance of setting goals, often leads them into conflict with authority. Being action-oriented, ISTP's react against restrictions — which typically causes the controls placed on them to increase. In these situations, boredom can quickly set in and the ISTP may experience feelings of internal emptiness. Overly regulated situations cause ISTP's stress. In such situations, ISTP's either attempt to flee or turn to fight their adversary face-to-face.

The ISTP's form of retaliation can be characterized as defiling what other people value. The ISTP violates rules and regulations that protect individual rights in retaliation for the lost opportunities and freedom that the ISTP believes they have had to endure. Getting even stimulates them and a renewed sense of excitement emerges from the risks of revenge and the expression of outrage. If stress continues, ISTP's will put what remaining freedom they have left in jeopardy by rebelling further.

INFP: "Questor". Not sure I agree with the description, but I find the list to be pretty accurate!

[Unndunn]

When I was younger I always came out as an INTP. I guess I'm getting more warm and fuzzy with time. My profession (psych) is listed, so I guess it's somewhat accurate. Oh, and one of the other pages said that only 1% of the population is my type. I guess that explains a lot. -------------------------
