@HoneyBooBoo At will has no bearing in suing. Being fired can enhance your chances in some cases.
@FunCartel In a narrow sense, it doesn't, however, if I refuse to join in team building, training, testing, i can be legally fired and no reason needs to be given.
Anyone can sue over anything. Doesn't mean you will win. The legal opinion i posted doesn't do much to support your contention on MB testing being illegal. More often the opposite is true.
It is "Happy Mother's Day wishes seem to be taking a toll on my internet connection"
lol. The type that makes jokes mainly for their own amusement.
My Myers Briggs' personality type ranges from: INTJ, Istj, and Entj.
In school I got ISTJ. At a job training program I got ENTJ. On my free time, I mainly seemed to get INTJ/ISTJ. I suppose I shift between these. Something tells me the tests vary depending on the environment thus, giving varying results?!
After reading up the two, I identify some with both: INTJ, and ISTJ. Not so sure about ENTJ. ? ?
@FunCartel wow that's interesting. Never knew about the heavy issues surrounding it such as it being used by the USSR with ill intent, and discrimination purposes. I just knew that it was unreliable.
INFP!
It's been INTJ since high school.
Take your pick:
IDRlabs ↑
16Personalities ↑
Truity ↑
ENTJ! But my favorite "personality test" says I'm a Slytherin :P
@DarrenWalker me??
If people can have dual citizenship, I can have dual personality type!
Angry+non-angry laughter* activated ?
Fyi, I like chocolate, and vanilla ice cream together. I don't think I like either as much* on their own. ?
@Lovelight: Those are three results I got from three different sites. So what's my Myers-Briggs personality type? Doesn't really matter to me—people can pick whichever one they want to say I am.
Now, if we're doing a different test....
Usually INTJ, but always INxx
@DarrenWalker wow. Cool! I got all 3 as well. As I commented above. So, I thought you were responding to me to pick a side. I don't know* much about ENTJ, yet. Though, I do identify some with INTJ, and some with ISTJ. ?
What about you?
@Lovelight: So you did! What a coincidence.
Honestly, I think the whole thing's nothing more than a diverting game. It's fun. But it's essentially pointless. Four sets of black-and-white options: I or E? N or S? T or F? P or J?
Dichotomies are tidy, but life's almost never that simple. Sure, I can't handle actually being around others for long. They drain me like a solar cell in a seabed city and I'd be just as happy to hole up far away from humans forever—but I also think they're absolutely fascinating, and love playing with them at a distance. Online chats are amazingly invigorating. In short: I like people near me mentally, but far from me physically. So am I introverted or extraverted?
I love thinking about the way complex systems work, going beneath the surface and seeing how one concept affects another. Philosophy, psychology, even theology... but I also regularly enjoy forgetting all that and just living life. S or N?
Thinking vs. Feeling strikes me as an obviously false dichotomy, since feelings are part of what you think about. They're facts that sometimes (all right, often) need to be taken into consideration if you're going to get the results you want. The only difference between T and F, it seems to me, is how important you think feelings are—which is hardly something that stays the same in different situations!
And then there's P vs. J.
If you're a Perceiving type, you use your information-gathering letter (N or S) more visibly than your decision-making letter (T or F). If you're a Judging type, it's the other way around.
But this changes depending on situation, too. Sometimes it's better to go with the flow, gather more data. Sometimes it's better to take the reins. Sometimes it even depends on your mood (which may depend on what you ate, or didn't eat earlier, how much sleep you've had, the cold you are or aren't fighting, how bright it is outside, the color of the walls...).
TLDR: The whole thing is amusing, but hardly reliable.
I took the test 10 years ago and scored an INTJ, although I don't remember the specific meaning of the results. I had a higher midichlorian count back then, but my dog still likes me. I'm still cool.
INTP.
Interesting that there doesn't seem to be much commonality in personality type.
@CosmicCreeprs Sup fellow INTP
I’ve gone from INTP to INTJ recently. Since I’m a computer nerd, my type checks out
@TangibleTony cool, you might be more like me, then. The two aren't vastly different, though. ?
I am ISMC. Incredibly Superior Male Cuddler
@NigeltheCuddled Too bad I did not bring my patented troll spray to the forums today.
@HoneyBooBoo , I'm ENFP, Type 7. The thing is, people say how inaccurate the result are, that's often because people aren't always honest to themselves about themselves. A lot of people don't realize, they aren't asking what you're capable of. They are asking what you would do naturally, if you didn't have to do anything or act a certain way for other people.
Also, people don't realize, it's not are you introvert or extrovert, necessarily, as in are you social. Introvert vs. Extrovert is completely about you're energy levels.
Everyone needs some sort of alone time and everyone needs time with others. The difference is how much time, or what is your tolerance. Extroverts need more interaction because their initial levels are lower than Introverts when it comes to how much interaction they need.
People don't realize that it's all on a sliding scale. The test is measuring how much on one side of the scale you are. Also, people don't realize that certain personalty types are more likely to mistype as other types. Like, how ISFJs can seem more Extroverted than me, and actually Extrovert, because they are busy helping as many loved ones as possible. They are always very busy.
Then there's ENFPs, like me, who are the most Introverted of the Extroverts. I spend a lot of time by myself, where I can be alone too long, and then I can get depressed from the lack of extroversion. But I don't always notice it till after someone forces me to be social. Then I feel better.
Also, one reason why businesses who test you and hire based off of personality type, I guess I see what they're trying to do. Except, anyone could do whatever job they want. Being one personality doesn't mean you won't be good at a job, that's not assigned to you on a piece of paper. People can learn to be good at things. But if a very introverted person, such as the INTPs were being judged on if they'd be good at a call center job, they probably won't care. Because its not very likely a true INTP would even apply to such a job.

ESFP and new to this. I have one very dear friend I cuddle with on occasion. We live hours apart.
Thanks, @snugglicious - that is a great article. Particularly - and the bold are my emphasis:
Across many of the world’s cultures, five personality traits consistently emerge: extraversion, emotional stability, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness. The Big Five traits have high reliability and considerable power in predicting job performance and team effectiveness. They even have genetic and biological bases, and researchers in the emerging field of personality neuroscience have begun mapping the Big Five to relevant brain regions. The Big Five are far from perfect, and there’s growing support for a HEXACO model of personality that adds a sixth trait: honesty-humility. Right now, though, the biggest problem facing the Big Five is one of marketing. Most people prefer to be called agreeable than disagreeable—we need to repackage this trait as supportive versus challenging. I hope some of you will take up the challenge. Until then, we all need to recognize that four letters don’t do justice to anyone’s identity. So leaders, consultants, counselors, coaches, and teachers, join me in delivering this message: MBTI, I’m breaking up with you. It’s not me. It’s you.
