That's cool.  It's incredibly depressing, however.  If that's accurate, the vast majority of us (INFP + INTP) are more likely to be unemployed and will make lower salaries, especially INFP.

Yeah, right.  Fuck you, stupid chart, I have compsci.  I win.

brb gonna become a nurse and date doublegandhi

*EDIT
I could add 2% of I to E and become ENTP allowing me to date myself and be a perfect match

Did you miss the part where

Psychometric specialist Robert Hogan wrote that "Most personality psychologists regard the MBTI as little more than an elaborate Chinese fortune cookie..."[45]

The actual list of evidence against it is far too long for me to copypasta here. (Well, no, it's just too much effort)

I'm INFJ (The Advocate) apparently.  I'm pretty sure in the past on tests like this I've gotten INTJ or INTP before, which is what I was expecting this time.

The description for INFJ matches me surprisingly well in a lot of ways.  Almost shockingly in some, which was extra creepy because in the conclusion section it even says that I might have been surprised at how accurate the description was.  It was dead on when it said that my inner drive for idealism and determination could be a liability in some situations, like interpersonal conflict, as well as the fact that I could easily let problems take me past my breaking point.  Been there, done that once... sertraline was a nice bandaid for a while.

I don't put a ton of weight into tests like this either, but it was kind of interesting to get that classification.  It's interesting because I think of myself as a thinking type over feeling, but in practice I can see that I almost universally act like a feeling type personality.

Edit: Huh, they said that INFJ was very rare, but according to Wikipedia's Meyers Briggs article, it's the rarest classification.  I feel like such a special snowflake.

I just attempted to take it on a whim, but noticed that I answered with -1 disagree for every question on the first two pages, and couldn't stop myself from answering the same thing on every question after.

That resulted in this:

Booya, another ISFP-A!

Hey peeps, look at relevant to this thread thing I found

Best job: landscape architect

So... farming? I'm a farmer. I'm going to go farm. After farming money so I can farm more effectively. I might even use it to secure a waifu. For improved farming.

[Shook]

Best job for INFP's is fine artist? Well, at least i'm not going in the WRONG direction. Too bad that artists are often poor as hell. :v
It's curious that it mentions counselling and education for best majors, because i have actually given those two some thought. Mostly education, since i'm much too emotionally unstable to take up counselling, but i do enjoy helping people feel better. Oh well, not like i should be basing my life on a chart, anyways.

WOW!!!

ESFJ people are doomed... There are no respectable people in there.

Then again they are making things up.

When I took this test year ago, I fully believed it. But now I took it again, and again.
Every time I get different result and I can exactly guess how the mechanisms work and see multiple things wrong about it, it is just fake-believe page making you feel "Oh so proud" of you.

There are so many variables in humans, so many reasons to be introverted and extroverted, so many different ways of judge and perception and other stuff ,that it makes this whole test just, basically self-worth booster.

INFP-T. 

• Introverted: 92%
• Intuitive: 54%
• Feeling: 58%
• Prospecting: 64%
• Turbulent: 84%

I went in fully expecting the Barnum principle to apply, but oddy, it didn't.  My Myers-Briggs is almost always INTJ, with occasional INTPs depending on the specific test; I've never scored highly F on the F/T scale.  I'm not talented with language (even my own), I tend to temper any idealistic impulse with cynicism, I'm about as creative as a plain brick wall (seriously; I barely write anymore since I'm simply awful at it), I'm neither passionate nor energetic, and one of my few hobbies from childhood was cartographic data.  About all they got right was anything to do with introversion, how easy it is for me to internalize criticism or insults, my tendency to be extremely disorganized, and how I tend to prefer concepts of social interaction to reality.

This is pretty much identical to my own feelings.  Almost eerily so, actually.

In late breaking news from some decades ago, Weird Al released a song named "I think I'm a clone now," which was definitely not written for you two, but...

Personally, I've always thought personality tests are entertaining but generally a load of bunk and bad methodology. However, the various flavours of the Myers-Briggs test very consistently peg me as some variety of INTP (INTP-A in this case). Well, I'll settle with this: the test can be used to acquire some sort of distributive data, but it's a: not predictive, at least to any useful degree, and b: more about your self-perception than your actual personality.

I mean, the consistensy with which people get results they're satisfied with on tests like this is pretty amazing, I'd bet. I think it would be a useful experiment to have a question like 'How do you feel about your results on this test?' I predict the results are going to be 75%+ positive.
