I feel like we've done this before.

Oh ok whatever.

ESTP

The S and T were just barely. Had I answered a couple differently that I was on the edge about it would have probably given me something more accurate.

There are lots of Promoters -- maybe ten or so percent of the population, and life is never dull around them. In a word, they are men and women of action. When a Promoter is present, things begin to happen: the lights come on, the music plays, the games begin. Clever and full of fun, Promoters live with a theatrical flourish which makes even the most routine events seem exciting. Not that they waste much time on routine events. In work and in play, Promoters demand new activities and new challenges. Bold and daring at heart, and ever-optimistic that things will go their way, Promoters will take tremendous risks to get what they want, and seem exhilarated by walking close to the edge of disaster. Because of this, they make the very best trouble-spot administrators and negotiators, and they can be outstanding entrepreneurs, able to swing deals and kick-start enterprises in a way no other type can.

Promoters also have a hearty appetite for the finer things of life, the best food, the best wine, expensive cars, and fashionable clothes. And they are extremely sophisticated in social circles, knowing many, many people by name, and knowing how to say just the right thing to most everyone they meet.

Charming, confident, and popular, Promoters delight their friends and investors with their endless supply of stories and jokes. At the same time, these smooth operators are usually something of a mystery to others. While they live in the moment and lend excitement - and unpredictability - to all their relationships, they rarely let anyone get really close to them. They have a low tolerance for authority and commitment, and are likely to leave situations where they are expected to toe the mark, or where they must play second fiddle. Promoters understand well the maxim, "He who travels fastest, travels alone," although they are not likely to be lonely for long, since their boldness and sense of adventure tends to make them highly attractive to many other people.

Close enough.

Two years ago I was an INTJ, and after taking it again, expecting different results, I also got INTJ.

I guess I'm INTJ.

The I (Introverted) and J (Judging) are only 22%. T (Thinking) is 100%, and N (Intuitive) are 88%.

[Mando Pandango]

The I (Introverted) and J (Judging) are only 22%.

"only" 22% My strongest were lower than that.

My S and T were each 1%

[YPrrrr]

I refuse to do this anymore

ENTP

"Inventors begin building gadgets and mechanisms as young children, and never really stop, though as adults they will turn their inventiveness to many kinds of organizations, social as well as mechanical. There aren't many Inventors, say about two percent of the population, but they have great impact on our everyday lives. With their innovative, entrepreneurial spirit, Inventors are always on the lookout for a better way, always eyeing new projects, new enterprises, new processes. Always aiming to "build a better mousetrap."Inventors are keenly pragmatic, and often become expert at devising the most effective means to accomplish their ends. They are the most reluctant of all the types to do things in a particular manner just because that's the way they have been done. As a result, they often bring fresh, new approaches to their work and play. They are intensely curious and continuously probe for possibilities, especially when trying to solve complex problems. Inventors are filled with ideas, but value ideas only when they make possible actions and objects. Thus they see product design not as an end in itself, but as a means to an end, as a way of devising the prototype that works and that can be brought to market. Inventors are confident in their pragmatism, counting on their ability to find effective ways and means when they need them, rather than making a detailed blueprint in advance. A rough idea is all they need to feel ready to proceed into action."

I know it's been done many times and the types are only half-accurate anyway but it's a fun poll

[Socks]

i thought this thread was about sausages. i tend to almost always get INTP. the thing that remains constant thought and that sticks out to me, is the 'slightly over feminine' part. why is understanding and sympathy a pussy game?

[bluaki]

I won't bother with the test again, but INTJ is probably the one that describes me best. The I and T should be very strong, while the J is especially weak. And this category is now 25% of the poll even though it's supposed to be less than 4% of the population.

[[REDACTED]]

INTP

[Andria]

I move between intp/intj since in most cases the p/j are like less than 10%

[Hippopo]

INFP

Oh god.  If this isn't me, I don't know what is.

[ikanaide]

ISFJ

Introverted 56%
Sensing 12%
Feeling 25%
Judging 1%

''We are lucky that Protectors make up as much as ten percent the population, because their primary interest is in the safety and security of those they care about - their family, their circle of friends, their students, their patients, their boss, their fellow-workers, or their employees. Protectors have an extraordinary sense of loyalty and responsibility in their makeup, and seem fulfilled in the degree they can shield others from the dirt and dangers of the world. Speculating and experimenting do not intrigue Protectors, who prefer to make do with time-honored and time-tested products and procedures rather than change to new. At work Protectors are seldom happy in situations where the rules are constantly changing, or where long-established ways of doing things are not respected. For their part, Protectors value tradition, both in the culture and in their family. Protectors believe deeply in the stability of social ranking conferred by birth, titles, offices, and credentials. And they cherish family history and enjoy caring for family property, from houses to heirlooms.''
