ISTJ

But when I read the description it didn't sound anything like me.

INTJ or INTP depending on which test I take. Lately my results have been leaning more toward INTJ.

i'm ISTJ..

i read the description... and it really does sound a lot like me..

Strong INTP here.

INFP.

INTP or INTJ ... It seems that whenever I'm calm and in a good mood It's a P but if I'm stressed or uncomfortable (such as when I first took it in psychology class) its a J.

But I'm definitely noticing a pattern here... btw http://www.intp.org/intprofile.html has an insanely detailed look at the INTP personality... which is really pretty fascinating, not surprisingly INTP traits seem common in science fiction as well...

ISTJ


Introverted (I) 100% Extraverted (E) 0%
Sensing (S) 55% Intuitive (N) 45%
Thinking (T) 50% Feeling (F) 50%
Judging (J) 68% Perceiving (P) 32%

I think I'm slightly more ISTJ, but I'm also ISFJ, if that makes sense

I usually get INTJ, and used to get INTP...Honeslty, as you can see, I'm kind of half way on two letters. Only the I and T are consistent apparently. This is my first time testing with an S though, I am going through some cnahges right now. Yeah, I've been trying to think less when socially interacting, and "feel/sense" more. It's working out alright, I guess.

Introverted (I) 71.43% Extroverted (E) 28.57%
Sensing (S) 51.28% Intuitive (N) 48.72%
Thinking (T) 75% Feeling (F) 25%
Perceiving (P) 56.76% Judging (J) 43.24%

I like how ISTP is described as "Engineer" on the site I'm using, future occupation.

ISTP - "Engineer". Values freedom of action and following interests and impulses. Independent, concise in speech, master of tools. 5.4% of total population

...So I just took a different test, same results again! ...My mind's been places.
Introverted (I) 58.97% Extroverted (E) 41.03%
Sensing (S) 60.71% Intuitive (N) 39.29%
Thinking (T) 57.58% Feeling (F) 42.42%
Perceiving (P) 50% Judging (J) 50%

since I'm ISTJ #9, and there's been 7 responses, someone ain't 'fessin up...

INTP.

Introverted (I) 100% Extraverted (E) 0%
Intuitive (N) 68% Sensing (S) 32%
Thinking (T) 95% Feeling (F) 5%
Perceiving (P) 91% Judging (J) 9%

In most tests I get INTP as the result, but there have been exceptions. The results depend on the questions in the quiz (how I interpret them) and how the test designer views the personality types. ISTP is the second most common result, and INTJ and ISTJ haven't been completely absent either.

When considering just the pairs, not the whole type, I can easily say I'm very strongly introverted, slightly intuitive, strongly thinking and moderately perceiving. Reading the descriptions, it's quite easy to say which letter I feel like I'm closer to.

On the other hand, with N and S being nearly balanced with me, sometimes I test as ISTP, which isn't that far from me as far as the individual pairs go. But reading the description of the ISTP subtype, it's so far from how I see myself it isn't even funny. Yes, some of the description could describe an aspect of myself, but on the whole, it's way off.

The MBTI is an interesting way to compare people, but its scientific backgroud is questionable. I wonder if there are any real studies about how the letter assignments translate to real life.

The kind of study I'd like to see would first define the pairs carefully, and then get a large enough number of people to take a test to see which letter combination they get. Preferably someone close to them would also be asked to evaluate the person and see whether how the person sees himself matches with how others may see him. I don't think it would be a good idea to tell them their results at this point, as it might affect the next stage.

The next step after the results are in should be to interview the people who took the test about their life and ways of functioning, generally about the aspects of life you usually see with MBTI result descriptions. The subtype descriptions should then be compiled using the interviews as the basis. This way you'd be able to avoid some of the more "creative" descriptions I've seen, that feel like someone just took their own impressions about the subtypes and went with them without much hard data.

Don't get me wrong, I actually do like these tests. At times they can be a useful way for me to get to know other people, as a compensation for my lack of skills in reading people.

I just wish the tests and results were more standardized. With enough tests and reading the theory you can quite accurately determine your subtype, but it's just the letters and how close it was with the individual pairs that are useful. There is no way I can use the usual subtype descriptions without a grain of sand.

I am INFP.

INTP loud and proud.

Well actually probably quiet and hiding in a corner somewhere being non-judgemental.

ISTP, which is weird because I'm not all that mechanical-engineering career area oriented. But I do want to be a doctor and work in stage combat, so... I guess most of the description fits.

I took this test before and was ESTJ. But the S was really strong and the E, T, and J were not as strong. I am kind of surprised how many Aspies here are getting N instead of S. Intuition you would not think would be an Aspie skill but apparently there are a lot of Aspies good at intuition. It just shows you how the Aspie stereotypes never hold up consistently.

Same here.
