Take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test (there are many free versions on line). Find your type (there are 16 personalities). Read the description. In the comments box, share your type (identified by four capital letters: ESFP, INTJ, etc.) and comment on whether you think the character description accurately, inaccurately, or only partially describes you.
If enough of you take the test, it will be easier for you to find other ECU Honorables who have a personality type that is similar to yours.
I took the Myers- Briggs Test last year and it showed that I am an IFSP-T(Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving- Turbulent). I had never taken the test before and wasn't sure how accurate it was. But when I learned more about what the type meant, I realized it was pretty accurate; I didn't consider myself very introverted but the test made me realize that my definition of introverted was different than theirs, and I decided the whole description was mostly accurate.
ReplyDeleteI took the test a couple years ago, but I took it again today to see if I would get the same personality type. Sure enough, my results were the exact same. According to the Myers-Briggs Test, my personality type is an INFJ-T (Introvert, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging, Turbulent). Honestly, I feel as though the test is fairly accurate once I read my results. As I was reading my results, I just kept thinking to myself, "That sounds like me". There wasn't any part of my results that I felt strayed from my personality.

I took this test a few years ago so I always thought I was INFJ, until I took it again and got INTJ-T as a result: Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Judging (Turbulent). At times it got a little creepy how accurate it was while I read the description. Despite the overall accuracy, I thought the description made me seem more introverted than I feel I am.
ReplyDeleteMy personality type for the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test was “Consul” and my letters were ESFJ-T. My results showed that I have an extraverted mind, observant energy, feeling of nature, judging tactic, and a turbulent identity. I think that the character description of this test is very accurate. I can be an extravert at times but when it comes down to it, I enjoy having my alone time. I try to be as empathetic towards other people as possible and it makes me feel good that this test recognized it. I also got to see my strengths and weaknesses. My strengths are having strong practical skills, a strong sense of duty, very loyal, sensitive and warm, and good at connecting with others. All these strengths are accurate, and I think personally describe myself very well. My weaknesses say that I am worried about my social status, inflexible, reluctant to innovate or improvise, vulnerable to criticism, often too needy, and too selfless. Again, these are right on the spot. It is funny to me because about a year ago I took this same test, and I got the same exact result. Everything I have read on my personality type is freakishly true. I never would have thought an online test could describe me in such detail, yet here we are.
ReplyDeleteSeezan! We have the same personality type! I totally agree on the accuracy of the test and feel like it nailed me pretty well. I also struggle with worrying about my social standing and how well I am liked by those around me, which also causes me to constantly be a people pleaser and never say no. I think it's so cool that we have the same personality and totally could have guessed it!!
DeleteI was introduced the the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Test my first year of high school. I took it again recently, and got the same result of INFJ-T the "Advocate". It tells me that I am introverted, intuitive, feeling, and judging, which I believe is an accurate representation of my personality. I like to spend time by myself, and do most of my socializing online. I like to find the meaning in things and spending time on the "What if" questions in life. And as hard as I try to be mostly logical, I cant help but put peoples feelings first. I also like to know what's next, rather than finding out for myself. These were all displayed out in front of me after I took the test with shocking accuracy.

DeleteI took this test around 4 years ago and my type was ENFP. After taking it again today, I received ENFJ. I always just thought just because I took it once, that it was "my" type. One thing that really stood out to me was how my first letter changed. 4 years ago, I was 49% I and 51% E. Today I was 38% I and 62% E. I don't remember what the my J and P were percentage wise from 4 years ago, but today they were 42% P and 58% J. After reading the ENFJ description, I would say its pretty spot on! Getting involved, leading the way, and speaking up for what is right are values that I hold close to myself to this day!
ReplyDeleteI have taken this test many times, and just like this most recent time, I always get INFJ-T.
ReplyDeleteIntroverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging, and Turbulent. The introverted aspect is just my preference, I can work well with others, but I prefer more intimate friendships. I would say I am intuitive. I've always been curious about the world, the afterlife, everything. I am definitely a feeling person. I cry when watching Disney movies and shows, and I can really empathize emotionally with others. Judging, this is less of me judging others, and more of me prefering justice. I am decisive and opinionated, but I don't try to force others to think or believe the things that I do. Lastly, the Turbulent part. Oh boy. The definition is self-conscious and sensitive to stress, and that fits me to a T. It's not that I can't handle stress, but when pressure is super high, I do tend to lose control of the situation. In most cases I get through it by taking a deep breath, but sometimes I need a bit of help to get through it. I don't feel ashamed that sometimes I need some help. Life can be hard and stressful.
I just retook the test and I am an ENTP, I have gotten this pretty consistently. I think it's pretty good, I do like playing devil's advocate a bit too much. However, I think we should all try and remember that Myers-Briggs is, self-admittedly, a children's game. The same mentality as zodiac with a slight pinch of preciseness. We have a want to belong in a group, instinctually tribal mentality. Best thing to remember is that we are all individuals that can't be boxed into a group.
ReplyDeleteThat being said Purple Personalities are the best and all the other ones are losers! GO PURPLES!!!
I took the test, and my personality type is ESFJ (extraverted, sensing, feeling, judging. At first, I was leery of how accurate it was going to be but the more I read the descriptions, the more I realized how this personality is me to a tee. It described how I love spending time with my family and friends and that I develop strong bonds with others very quickly. All four indicators really describe me, none of them feel out of place or forced. The character description was perfectly accurate.
ReplyDeleteMy personality type is ENFJ. I have taken this test a few times over the years and the only thing that ever seems to change is the I and E. In previous years i’ve been an INFJ. I have aloe not every read about each letter until now and it’s crazy how accurate a simple test can be.

DeleteMy Meyers Briggs type is INFJ-T, or Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging, and Turbulent. I think the description was very accurate, especially where it talks about how helping others is often what INFJ’s feel their life’s purpose is and they would rather make a difference than get personal gain. I thought it was really interesting to read about and I like the word “advocate” to describe myself. I love personality tests and stuff like this because I feel like it gives me a way to see myself and my personality that I maybe hadn’t considered before.
ReplyDeleteI have taken this test about twice a year since I was 14 and I have always gotten ENFP (extroversion, intuition, feeling, perceiving). This personality type describes me pretty accurately. There is no doubt that I am an extrovert and I definitely depend on my feelings and emotions when making decisions. Also, as I was reading the strengths and weaknesses I felt personally attacked by how precise the definitions were. No one can perfectly fit a type because we are all very different people, but after researching this type I do believe it is pretty accurate.
ReplyDeleteMy result of the Myers-Briggs test was a Logistician, ISTJ-T (Introversion, Sensing, Thinking, Judging, and Turbulence). As I read deeper into the meaning of this and the strengths and weaknesses of a Logistician, I do think that it captures my personality quite well. I am an extremely introverted person. I also am very goal driven, orderly, reliable, and I do not express emotional affection well. Those were some of the big traits of mine that the test hit spot on. I do not think anything was significantly off about my personality type, some things were just more spot on than others.
ReplyDeleteI have taken the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Test a few times throughout my life, and so far, I have always been told that I am an INFJ (introverted, intuitive, feeling, and judging). I feel like it accurately describes the type of person I am, for the most part. On the website 16personalities.com, it stated that many people with the INFJ personality type pursue careers in psychology, like counseling or therapy, which is what I plan to do in the future. I am also very imaginative and only have a few close friends, so I felt that most of what I read was spot on.
ReplyDeleteI have taken this test before, but I was excited to take it again to see if I have changed in the past two years, and I have! My personality type is ISFJ. After some research, I found that this accurately describes me. This personality type is introverted, because that is how we recharge, but we also need people in our lives to feel fulfilled. This perfectly describes me because I feel that I need a good mix of both to be happy. The more I read about this personality type, I realized that it perfectly describes me.
ReplyDeleteI am an ENFP, that means I am more of an extroverted type of people. I love to have deep conversations with people about anything. I can become very easily distracted though. If it's a task I don't like doing, I probably will procrastinate until the last second when I have to get it done. These results I feel match me very well. I think I diffidently am all the an ENFP describes and it is cool to see how it is all written down and will be very helpful to me in the future making decisions about life.
ReplyDeleteI've taken the test a few times before and I've always gotten ENFP. It says "A Campaigner (ENFP) is someone with the Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Prospecting personality traits. These people tend to embrace big ideas and actions that reflect their sense of hope and goodwill toward others. Their vibrant energy can flow in many directions. It doesn't interest me what you do for a living." and I think that most of the traits fit me pretty well. Sometimes it's hard to be outgoing if I'm not comfortable, but I get there eventually.
ReplyDeleteI took the Myers-Briggs test once during my sophomore year, and I had the same results when I took it this time. My personality type is ISFJ-T. I have an introverted mind, observant energy, feeling nature, judging tactics, and a turbulent energy. It is also said that these personality types tend to be caretakers and never want to give up traditions. I believe all of this sounds like me as a person. I was also right on the line between having judging tactics or prospecting tactics, which I feel was pretty accurate too.
ReplyDeleteMy type is ESTP (the activist). I think for the most part this description accurately represents me. I absolutely gain energy by being around others. I wouldn’t say that I crave attention as it says I do, just because that’s not something I particularly like. However, I am very flexible and outgoing and love people which allows me to meet new people pretty well and easily. The adventurous characteristic was very accurate. I love being spontaneous but organized at the same time. I like finding balances between these characteristics.
ReplyDeleteI took this test at the end of my senior year last year and got ESFJ-T. I am mostly extraverted, which is very accurate, although I do love my alone time that allows me to unwind. I am also highly observant and practical, but am sensitive and emotionally expressive. I also rank highly in judging, which I initially thought was a bad thing, but just means that I enjoy structure and planning. Lastly, I am mostly turbulent, meaning I am a self-conscious, stress sensitive, success driven perfectionist who is always looking to improve. I honestly cannot think of a more accurate description of myself. I possess so many leadership qualities and while my extrovertedness is what drives leadership, I truly believe my sensitive side is what keeps me grounded and on track.

DeleteAccording to the Myers-Briggs type indicator test, I am an ESFJ: The consul (caring, social, and popular). I am surprised that I am considered an extrovert, however I am in the 50th percentile for that category so I suppose that makes more sense. I am honored to be considered someone who is caring and there for people, however I like to think I also have good leadership qualities. Overall, I think I definitely fit in this category; I did not know I exhibited these qualities so much that they made up my personality, but I can definitely see it being true. I tend to go out of my way for others, more than anyone goes out of their way for me it seems, but that's okay. I don't usually see myself as a social person, but I get along well with others, and I also usually break the ice in uncomfortable situations because I don't want others to feel awkward and not cared about. I am not sure about the popular characteristic, never in my life have I been popular in my terms, but I suppose in the clubs and groups I'm in I am relatively well known. I am glad I took this test; it honestly makes me feel good that I am seen as this kind of person and makes me want to focus on those qualities of myself even more.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the Myers-Briggs personality test, I am an INFP. This means Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Prospecting. I’ve taken this test many times over the last couple of years, the first time being in middle school. Since the first test, I have obtained the INFP title every single time. The introverted part definitely makes sense, as I have been classifying myself as an introvert since the first time I heard the definition of the word. My own sense of intuition has betrayed me over the years, but I can usually find out things about people just by using intuition and connecting the dots. I am a very emotional person, sometimes overly so, and my feelings along with other people’s feelings are some of the most important things to me.
ReplyDeleteI am an INFP-T, which is pretty spot on. The I is for Introverted. I would consider myself to be introverted because although I could hang out with my friends all day, those are the only people I can be around for a long time without getting exhausted. The N is for Intuitive. I'm open minded and curious, I tend to daydream often as well. F is for feeling. This one I was most on the fence about because I don't tend to express my emotions often, but I don't have the competitive nature of a thinking type. P is for prospecting. I think this definitely suits me because any time that I can get away with improvising, I improvise. Planning is helpful and even necessary in some scenarios though. Finally, T is for Turbulent. I am more prone to stress and worry when my schedule gets packed and the work piles up.
ReplyDeleteMy results showed I am an Advocate INFJ-T (Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging- Turbulent). I have taken this test before and I do believe this is the result that has been most consistent for me. I am very cautious when I examine these results as I do not know how much is accurate and how much I am reading into it. The P.T. Barnum effect is very real. That being said, I feel like there are some nuggets of truth hidden in there. All in all, these are fun to do and compare with friends, but I try to not hold too much stock in them.
ReplyDeleteI took the Myers-Briggs personality type quiz last year for my computer application class in high school. The type I got was ISTP (or Introverted, Observant, Thinking, and Prospecting). I think introverted is definitely accurate. Upon reading their definition of observant, I think that is accurate too. I like to consider myself a mostly practical individual. Thinking also plays into that. I like to focus on the more tangible, practical, and logical solutions to problems. This has sometimes led to me butting heads with some of my friends who like to go well beyond the realm of practicality. A prevalent example I can think of was earlier this year when me and a group of friends were doing a video project for our high school English class. This project involved filming ourselves doing scenes from Macbeth and editing them together to look like a “trailer.” One of my friends (who we’ll call Dave) basically appointed himself “leader” of filming, and his process was less than optimal. Long story short, most of the time spent “filming” (which took five days) was spent by the people involved sitting around doing nothing because Dave had no coordination skills to plan out an optimal schedule. This drove me absolutely insane. The amount of collective hours wasted during this time still bothers me. Dave and I would argue a lot during that time over his less-than-practical work model. All that to say, if I have a task to do, I’d prefer to get it done efficiently. This is why I think the personality test is accurate when putting me with the more “practical” and “logical” categories.
