I'm weird. I vary each time I take this. Sometimes I'm an INFJ, today was ENFJ. The extroverted portion was minimal, only 6% which would explain why it can switch.

I really don't put much faith into this.

ISTJ. A lot of it makes sense, but it's not completely accurate by any means.

My next closest, which is very close, is an INTJ.

My line of work kind of is...and kind of isn't...appropriate for an ISTJ. I think they also profile lawyer and judge, neither of which interest me at all.

Unlike astrology, I don't think faith plays a role in the assessment. It's based on generally-accepted psychological principles and has been time-tested to a fare-thee-well.

Switching from INFJ to ENFJ isn't that great a difference as far as I know. It could be explained by several things - testing modality is a big one (are you testing at school or at work?).

Some people grow up in an environment where a certain behavior is not accepted. Once they are free of that family and on their own, their "personality" scores would change on this assessment.

It may be a case of wishful thinking - answering the way you want to see yourself, even if you do it unconsciously. Male vs. female archetypes are notorious in this regard.

You might be experiencing a major life change when you take the assessment; this would certainly change your results.

No, the assessment isn't perfect. But it's generally a good ball-park indicator and doesn't need to rely upon faith for its results.

So silly. What is "real" anyway? Social construction - everything is made up.

Usually tested ISTP. But I'm not that strong of a S since I'm not really into sport maybe except for kayaking. Got a competitive steak when I'm into them though. I get tested as INTP sometimes.

S doesn't mean into sports, it just means detail and practical oriented as opposed to a person who is attracted to big concepts and big ideas.

INTJ

Introverted 67%

Intuitive 12%

Thinking 50%

Judging 33%

Interesting. What does it really mean though?
