know thyself

shotgun

i always say honesty is the key to humanity.

honesty is also what lets an individual know himself better.
if you're faking it, who are you anyways?

i would recommend anyone to take a moment and be honest with himself, and take this test:
http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp

its free.

the 4 letters youll get represent your personality, out of 16 (i think) very well described personality types established in typo-psychology.

all ppl ive linked this to said 'holy shit this is so true', including myself. i'm an INFP, btw.

this website has a very nice, elaborate description for each type, after you take the test:

good luck

Ahh, that old one.

For me it doesn't work at all, and I was as honest as possible. The result just isn't me, it is basicly almost the exact opposite.

You know shotgun, I agree on alot of things with you, but a test like that is not very good and precice. As if around 70 questions could dertermine your personality, and they are YES NO questions meaning the chain of thought has reached the end at this question but in many cases you can easly twist and turn the questions.

Most of these test are just egostrokes allthough this one has some negative parts to the ENFP people it is mainly still an egostroke.

A bit of truth, may be in it ...

Kevin Johnstone

Phil: I think actually that you need less than 70 questions to determine someones personality

I think we weigh people up long before we've asked them 70 questions no?!

hey, i just thought it was cool :?

nothing of it was new to me, although it was 99% true and i found that pretty impressive. at least my analysis (i didnt read others) was pretty intimic stuff, i felt. and so while it didnt reveal anything new i stil found it rather reassuring about some things i often doubted in myself (and you prsphilz0r know what im talking about

hey guys, if this didnt "work" for you, scrap it.
dont blame me or anything.

ElysiumGX

they're just ants at a picnic.

Kevin Johnstone

Shot: Yeah, I understand. We all need confirmation of who we are now and then, its why so many end up as a couple or get married or have kids, these are all the later iterations of confirming who we are.

I'm fond of pointing out that other people are a mirror to our own personality. We can sit and try to guess who we are in the eyes of other for days and not make as much progress as we will in a single surprising sentence of reaction from a friend in reference to ourselves.

Well, only if you are the type of person who pays attention to other people, its the people who never pay attention to others that end up being unaware of their own issues and thus more often come across as an asshole.

I tend to be very self analysing, I've always thought too much, but I'd rather suffer the problems of doubt and paranoia than be one of the many loud self centered little bitches I've met that are utterly unaware of how big a dick they are without realising it.

@Ror

Yes that is true, esspecially the visual aspect, but I was thinking about the "real" personality, because that is what theese kind of tests try to define.

@shotgun

yeah, I know what you mean, I also thought that was the root of you posting the test that is why I do think a bit of truth is in them, they can't be a 100% based on something fictional

The description of this personality type on the 2nd link does in fact seem quite accurate, but I wonder how accurate the other personality types would seem as well.

These things strike me as the same sort of thing as horoscopes. Broad generalizations that could apply to nearly anybody. Many are things people would like to think about themselves, and so they read them as being "accurate".

It was however, quite fun & an interesting read.
Thanks Shotgun!

I would say not too far off. Damn this introverted nature of mine! Actually it seems like there is a negative association with introversion ingrained in us as children. If someone wants to be alone then theres something wrong right? As a kid I always thought that there was something wrong with me, cause I wasn't terribly social, then as I got older I realized it is just part of who I am. I'm not a hermit or anything, but I like "alone time" where I can think, read, make art, and just generally be away from the endless jabbering of the social world. Too much of either personality type is a bad thing though. Theres nothing healthy about being a shut-in, but at the same time I've noticed that people who are excessivly social often seem to be doing it to avoid introspection, or out of some abuse derived need for attention. Anyway, blah blah blah...

no no, not bla bla, not surprisingly i guess as another infp - i had the same thoughts as a kid, and same realizations later in life. too much socializing and i get impatient, or too much shut-in time and i feel im wasting my time. and that is exactly described in the "infp manual" heheh

INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. Only one percent of the population has an INFJ Personality Type, making it the most rare of all the types.

I'm ENFP, last time i took the test. amazing how many I's there are on the forum. well. maybe not. heh. i should take it again to see if it's different. i've changed alot...

and on a slightly different topic, i dont know how the fuck this makes me 'know myself'. jesus i'd have to be shallow.

here are generalized descriptions from one of the sites the test links to that helps get a quick generalization of another character type. i have to admit, i was pretty impressed with the results of the test.
