Anybody done one of these?I met a banker who swore by these like they were word of God but I feel a lot of these are just obvious self-descriptions that you could easily learn by asking the same questions. E.g. are you willing to step on others to get ahead? Answering yes, no or I don't know is already self-evident
At any rate I got INFJ-A when I did this test years ago, and I did it again and still got INFJ-A. Supposed to be a special rare unicorn personality but I don't think it's as rare as they say it is, or perhaps it's more accurate to say that each of the personality "types" have traits which they all share in common - in which case are they even really "types?"
46% Extraverted -
54% IntrovertedI expected the introversion to be much higher tbh
86% Intuitive - 14% Observant
This one is funny to me, because they define observant as pragmatic, focused on obvious realities, focused on stability, whilst the intuitive is big picture thinking, theoretical and exploratory. I do not see this as one or the other, as I have both traits in abundance despite the test disagreeing
44% Thinking -
56% FeelingObjectivity (thinking) vs Sentimentality (Feeling)
This is another one of those odd things where I do not see why logic, emotion, efficiency or cooperation are viewed as exclusive things. They are all very compatible
51% Judging - 49% Prospecting
Decisive, organised (judging) vs Improvising, opportunistic flexibility (prospecting)
This is another one of those things where surely everyone strives to be decisive and organised, but still be flexible and spontaneous? Why not both?
90% Assertive - 10% Turbulent
This is probably the only one where I agree completely with my result, but with the obvious caveat that it's hardly rocket science to answer a test by saying "I am a pillar of stability" and the test concluding "yes you are stable." From my earliest memories I have had to endure many hardships and stresses, and it seems to have always been a core part of who I am that I remain emotionally constant, slow to passions and resistant to pressure. This tendency has only grown greater with time; there is simply no point worrying about whatever you have no control over. Do what you can and keep going. I remember having a funny discussion with one of my friends. I told him I only judge my past actions based off of the information I had in the past, so even if things turned out to be a mistake, I do not care because I made the best choice with the information I had. He asked with much incredulity - "but then you would never regret anything?" To which I replied, yes, I never regret anything
