Jungian Personality Types
I study psychology and political science in college and Jung is one of my favorite psychologists. I think a lot can be related to your personality type and I was just curious as to where people fall along the 16 type scale.
Anyone willing to take part please fill out this questionairre and report your results: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp I am an ENFP Here is the link to check out what other peoples types say about them: http://typelogic.com/ |

ISTP Introverted Sensing Thinking Perceiving Strength of the preferences % 44 1 56 11 interesting, thx for the link. i would've thought i'd score higher on perceiving (i consider perception to be one of my stronger qualities) and perhaps a bit on the intuitive (i feel i've got a strong sense of intuition) :shrug: still quite interesting and i've always been a fan of Mr Jung. :) |
I'm an INFJ
It's important to note that the Myers-Briggs Personality Test (this, basically) was based on Jung's ideas of personality but was not created by Jung. From my reading of Jung it seems that "personality" is not the best way to describe typology because it implies that one's characteristics are constant and innate qualities -- whereas I think Jung would argue that typologies develop and change throughout one's life. I'm not a huge fan of this test because it does more to measure how you envision yourself rather than how you actually act. Another thing I don't like is how you have to make sweeping generalizations when there is a lot of situational stuff going into how I act. |
The Myers-Briggs test is directly based off of Jung's book "Personalty Types", but you are right it was not created by Jung. It is merely Jungian.
In this work however, Jung does assert that there is a reliably constant "persona" and "ego" that exists at the conscious level. These raise up out of your unconscious and are somewhat hereditary (though not genetic). Basically, we all have certain roles we that we put on (such as father, son, professor, student, etc) and these roles are for society but beneath that we all have this concept of "this is really who I am". That remains pretty constant after childhood. Anyway, we need that persona & ego to keep all of the things we think and do that we consider not me out of our personality (like when we act a way or say something that is out of character). Anyway, the point is that since our personality and who we present to the world solely derives from within us it is therefore only how we perceive ourselves that matters. |
Very cool !! Thanks for the link.
I'm an eNTj :D :D :p |

I don't have a copy of "Personality Types," but I have read Anthony Stevens' (a Jungian psychiatrist) "Jung: A Very Short Introduction"* book. In his summary of "Psychological Types" by Jung, he states that "All typological possibilities are theoretically available to the Self, but it is useful to be able to establish those co-ordinates that one is using to chart one's course through life. Jung accepted that this course is never intractably fixed; it may at any time be subject to alteration." He also states that "Jung argued that one's type was as much determined by genetic as by environmental factors," implying that who we present to the world comes from more than just what is within us. I think Jung thought that the various parts of Myers-Briggs personality were functions available for anyone to use. People tend to use some functions more than others, but that does not mean that they cannot develop their underused functions during adulthood. Considering that Jung's individuation process involves dissolution of the persona, it is strange to argue that one cannot change it. Unconsciously, I would agree that the Self varies from person to person, is stable, and is not effected by one's environment. Great topic! I also enjoy Jung's ideas. *I should add that Oxford's VSI series is of high quality and is great for getting a comprehensive overview of all sorts of complex fields of knowledge. |
True, I think we just misunderstood each other. I didn't mean that all the different types weren't available to everyone. We all have a collective unconscience (according to Jung) and therefore all have the same pool of possible selves to create our persona from though we have tendencies towards types that fall within our heritage/environment. What I meant was that changing ones personality rarely occurs and it is even rarer that it should occur without some life altering trauma to induce it. So what I meant, was that for most people personality type is pretty much set after it develops though ideally we can dissolve the persona and even the ego to transcend our individual existence. This is very hard and happens in only a fraction of a percent of people.

Heh...
I had to do this test at work just yesterday. Quite a coincidence. I'm an ENTJ Isn't this better known as the Meyer-Briggs test? Mr Mephisto |
That's nuts. Why did you have to take it at work?
And yes, this is similar to the Meyers-Briggs test which is a derivative of Jungian psychology. I just titled to encourage not only test taking and reporting, but also some discussion about the psychology this reflects (Jung's). |
I'm an ISFJ with strength percentages at 56%, 22%, 33%, and 11%. However after reading the description of an ISFJ I'm not completely sure of the accuracy... some of the questions did seem like sweeping generalizations that were difficult to answer with any degree of certainty.

First of all:
"You easily understand new theoretical principles" Yeah, sure, I'm on the cutting edge of theoretical molecular biology. Second of all: "You think that everything in the world is relative" Who could honestly answer yes to that? It's too broad. Now. INFP. 56% 22% 11% 11% My percentages are somewhat close to Lorgatron's. |

Anyone considered to be "slacking," including superiors, will lose their respect -- and will generally be made aware of this; INTJs have also been known to take it upon themselves to implement critical decisions without consulting their supervisors or co-workers. Yup. Famous INTJs: Dan Aykroyd, actor (The Blues Brothers) Susan B. Anthony, suffragist Augustus Caesar (Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus), Emperor of Rome William F. Buckley, Jr., conservative political advocate Chevy Chase (Cornelius Crane), actor (Fletch) Phil Donahue, television talk show host Hannibal, Carthaginian military leader Peter Jennings, television newscaster Charles Everett Koop, former U.S. surgeon general C.

I am ENTP.
Extrovertive Intuitive Thinking Percieving. Is it just me, or do extrovertive and intuituve not go well together? |
There's nothing strange about an extrovertive intuitives. The term "intuitive" in the case of Jungian personality has to do with perceptive style -- do you sense things or intuit (is that a word?) them. "Intuition" is your ability to "see around corners."
This does not mean that only "Intuitive" people are capable of this perception style, only that they tend to use it more than their sensory perception function. |
ENTP as well. I don't know, my personality seems to be in flux a lot, it changes, but maybe that's just the part that stands out the most.

I came out as an INTJ
22 44 67 89 The second description (by Butt and Heiss) is frighteningly accurate. It is too bad that this wasn't activated as a poll so we could see the breakdown of TFPers and how it compares to society as a whole. I took this several years ago when I was working in Residence Life stuff at school. It was an interesting exercise in that it gave some insight into where friction might come from in our staff - and how to see both sides of the story. |
I'm an INTP
I once took the much much longer version of this test that had about 20 pages worth of information on the end of it... I believe that it said INTP were the lowest percentage... anyone else out there an INTP? Also... it would be awesome if the person that posted this thread would go through and calculate the totals and put it in the cohesive working chart (that thing that plots where all the personality types stand with each other).... just an idea |
Your Type is
INTJ Introverted 89 Intuitive 11 Thinking 67 Judging 33 Of the four aspects of strategic analysis and definition it is the contingency planning or entailment organizing role that reaches the highest development in Masterminds. Entailing or contingency planning is not an informative activity, rather it is a directive one in which the planner tells others what to do and in what order to do it. As the organizing capabilities the Masterminds increase so does their inclination to take charge of whatever is going on. It is in their abilities that Masterminds differ from the other Rationals, while in most of their attitudes they are just like the others. However there is one attitude that sets them apart from other Rationals: they tend to be much more self-confident than the rest, having, for obscure reasons, developed a very strong will. They are rather rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population. Being very judicious, decisions come naturally to them; indeed, they can hardly rest until they have things settled, decided, and set. They are the people who are able to formulate coherent and comprehensive contingency plans, hence contingency organizers or "entailers." Masterminds will adopt ideas only if they are useful, which is to say if they work efficiently toward accomplishing the Mastermind's well-defined goals. Natural leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command of projects or groups, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once in charge, however, Masterminds are the supreme pragmatists, seeing reality as a crucible for refining their strategies for goal-directed action. In a sense, Masterminds approach reality as they would a giant chess board, always seeking strategies that have a high payoff, and always devising contingency plans in case of error or adversity. To the Mastermind, organizational structure and operational procedures are never arbitrary, never set in concrete, but are quite malleable and can be changed, improved, streamlined. In their drive for efficient action, Masterminds are the most open-minded of all the types. No idea is too far-fetched to be entertained-if it is useful. Masterminds are natural brainstormers, always open to new concepts and, in fact, aggressively seeking them. They are also alert to the consequences of applying new ideas or positions. Theories which cannot be made to work are quickly discarded by the Masterminds. On the other hand, Masterminds can be quite ruthless in implementing effective ideas, seldom counting personal cost in terms of time and energy. |

ENFP Extroverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving Strength of the preferences % 33 22 44 11 Description: The Champion Idealists are abstract in thought and speech, cooperative in accomplishing their aims, and informative and extraverted when relating with others. For Champions, nothing occurs which does not have some deep ethical significance, and this, coupled with their uncanny sense of the motivations of others, gives them a talent for seeing life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil. This type is found in only about 3 percent of the general population, but they have great influence because of their extraordinary impact on others. Champions are inclined to go everywhere and look into everything that has to do with the advance of good and the retreat of evil in the world. They can't bear to miss out on what is going on around them; they must experience, first hand, all the significant social events that affect our lives. And then they are eager to relate the stories they've uncovered, hoping to disclose the "truth" of people and issues, and to advocate causes. This strong drive to unveil current events can make them tireless in conversing with others, like fountains that bubble and splash, spilling over their own words to get it all out. Champions consider intense emotional experiences as being vital to a full life, although they can never quite shake the feeling that a part of themselves is split off, uninvolved in the experience. Thus, while they strive for emotional congruency, they often see themselves in some danger of losing touch with their real feelings, which eNFps possess in a wide range and variety. In the same vein, eNFps strive toward a kind of spontaneous personal authenticity, and this intention always to "be themselves" is usually communicated nonverbally to others, who find it quite attractive. All too often, however, eNFps fall short in their efforts to be authentic, and they tend to heap coals of fire on themselves, berating themselves for the slightest self-conscious role-playing. ---------> Last time I took this test (10 years ago), I was an INFJ... interesting to see how it has changed!!! |

Like seasoned, stalwart umpires, Supervisors will set their jaw and make the call on anyone who steps up to bat. They even feel obligated to do so, and they’re sometimes surprised when others don’t seem grateful for being set straight.

Don't be insulted. Judging personality doesn't mean that you are judging of people. Its the contrast of the sensing personality and means that you take a more thoughtful, rational approach to problems while sensors (like myself) go on intuition and hunches.

However I thought that I was more intuitive and thinking than what I received. I don't like following the conventional ways of learning and figure things out on my own. |
I've heard people express some consternation over the slight/moderate/extremely adjectives in the descriptions. I am really not sure to chalk that up more to the fact that its only a 70 question test or more to people having tendency to see themselves as either highly polarized or right in the center rather than slight or moderate about anything.

I've had a myers-brigs administered profesionally before and i got almost the same result. THis gave me INTP at 83% 86% 1% 83%. The proffesional one had me as INTP as well but with the N and P stronger, the T is pretty much the same, im a very emotional dude but I gots to listen to my head.

On the Meyers Briggs I've consistantly been an INFP. I just did the poll from the link above and it seems that 9% of the tfp'ers are too. Huh. Introverts sitting in front of their computers taking personality exams....how strange.
|
INTJ. I've taken it before and gotten INTP. But my J was only 11%, so it seems I'm borderline. It's surprising to see so many INTJ's here, since one of the links said only about 1% of the population is INTJ. But then again, extroverted feelers are more likely to be out doing stuff than sitting in front of a computer taking this test...
The second link gave a pretty good description of me, but I did like one sentance from the first one: "[INTJ's]are not at all eager to take command of projects or groups, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead." That's very true. I hate leading, but if whoever has assumed the lead ends up fucking things up too bad, I'm always the first to take control and set things right. |
INTJ
I have a tough time buying into these tests partly because they aren't comprehensive enough to provide an accurate picture. Plus people tend to answer based on what they think is important not always how they are. To be accurate one would need to get at least two other people who had observed the subject for an extended period of time and then average out the results of the three. That would work far better. |
