I like MBTI and psychological theory in general. I've been reading a lot of Jung lately. I think it's good to read up on the functions and how they work or it's very easy to mistype yourself and others. I have friends who took some poorly written MBTI test online, and now they run around saying they are one type when it's sooo obvious they are not...
I test INTP or INFJ a lot, but I am clearly an INFP after reading up on it. I notice I clique very well with men who are INTP and ENFJ, and I find ISTPs attractive even though we usually don't clique. I wouldn't limit my dating to any "type" though, as people are still individuals and the theory is a bit shaky, especially if you're casually typing other people as a past time .
Also, intuitive (N) types only make up roughly 25-35% of the population, yet you'll see a disproportionate amount of MBTI test takers score as intuitive, and that's likely because these types are naturally more drawn to theory. I also think there's some testing errors involved.... Same thing goes for introverts. I find it funny how when this topic is brought up that everyone participating turns out to be an introverted intuitive .
Idealist Portrait of the Champion (ENFP)Like the other Idealists, Champions are rather rare, say two or three percent of the population, but even more than the others they consider intense emotional experiences as being vital to a full life. Champions have a wide range and variety of emotions, and a great passion for novelty. They see life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil, and they want to experience all the meaningful events and fascinating people in the world. The most outgoing of the Idealists, Champions often can't wait to tell others of their extraordinary experiences. Champions can be tireless in talking with others, like fountains that bubble and splash, spilling over their own words to get it all out. And usually this is not simple storytelling; Champions often speak (or write) in the hope of revealing some truth about human experience, or of motivating others with their powerful convictions. Their strong drive to speak out on issues and events, along with their boundless enthusiasm and natural talent with language, makes them the most vivacious and inspiring of all the types.
I found out about this test scheme when I dated a guy who works for Staples. He said they give the test to all staff members. He works in computer programming at the HQ in MA. He says no matter how many times he takes the test, it's always the same results.
He & I are still friends, but it was obvious from looking at a comparison of our MB personalities, we weren't compatible. In spite of meeting & falling in love with his family (not him.... I was sad *L*), we never got very far other than continuuing to correspond.
We've corresponded for 6 years... He got married recently. Maybe I'll ask him to refresh me on his "type" & ask him what "type" his new bride is...
Would you like to find out which personality type you probably are? Do you think this information can be helpful in determining or forecasting compatibility?
It's been 5 years since I last explored this...I'm something like an ES somethin' or other. I'll have to do some research & post my "type" a bit later.
Please post your findings & opinion!

Funny, I took this as a Facebook App a while ago; I think i'm ENSF or something.
By the way, they totally nailed the career part of this test. I have been in fashion (although in design, not merchandising for years) and have always expressed interest in social work, arts, psychology, counseling and film.

Whenever I take these tests, I'm either an ISTJ or INTJ. For the intuitive dimension, I'm right on the border of S and N. But at least it confirms that I'm in the right field. I guess I'll have to look up what personality types I'm most compatible with.

I've done it on Facebook too. The multiple choices were... not my cup o' tea. There are more... scientific ones...available...
When the FB one wanted to know if I was better at art or math class... I was like... I never took art although I doodled all through HS! And I'm terrible at math! So, I need something more workable than that. The other ones online are longer & dig a bit deeper...
In relationships, the ISFJ is generous, accomodating, and loyal. ISFJs are dedicated to the task of taking care of their loved ones, and take their family responsibilities seriously. ISFJs often adhere to traditional gender roles, and happily take on the customary household duties. ISFJs can tend to put their partner’s needs ahead of their own, and run the risk of being taken advantage of because of their desire to please others. They prize harmony and will often withdraw rather than engage in conflict. ISFJs appreciate a considerate and thoughtful partner who recognizes their dedication and ability to nurture others.
Good matches for the ISFJ include other Sensing Judger types (ESFJ, ISFJ, ESTJ, and ISTJ), who share the ISFJ’s commitment to tradition and responsibility. ISFJs also have high rates of satisfaction when paired with Intuitive Feeling types such as INFP, ENFP, INFJ, and ENFJ, who share the ISFJ’s sensitivity and dedication to making a relationship work.
Tia, can you post a link to where you took this test? I'd love to take a test that shows the percentages!
