I’ve been meaning to do a thread about this for a while: Myers-Briggs ?

Someone I know doesn’t rate MB assessments. It’s now put me in mind of a bit of fun - like an in depth horoscope. I can’t be bothered reading all the detail now but then again, maybe that’s just because I’m #lazygran!
?

I am An adventurer which to my mind doesn’t fit at all, the least adventurous person I know. Cautious would define me better.

I always thought GN was a microcosm of society!

I am a defender, I think that sums me up.

Mary My Spacial Awareness Intelligence was highest, followed by the Verbal one; and Maths and then Kinaesthetics were lowest.

(I did notice that questions 1 and 4 were identical - ironically a question about noticing text!)

I too am a defender.

Hello Mary
I was just thinking of you; I knew that you’d enjoy it.

I am an Advocate too!

It’s quite odd because it’s very widely believed that is Advocates are the rarest type; and yet there are quite a few GNers who are Advocates.
Very interesting stuff.
I will have to update my Gransnet Archetype - she is now a Scottish retired teacher called Kate, who shops at SeaSalt and is an Advocate on the Myers Briggs scale!

I haven’t done the test for a while, so shall do it later to see if I have changed at all.

I’ll do yours now…

Thank you Fanny, just like Howard Gardener's multiple intelligences test, mine was spot on. I am an Advocate.

I used to be sceptical about these tests, until I needed to do some research for a thesis.They are fascinating.
I don't think anyone will be surprised to hear that my dominant intelligence is linguistic. ?

Not meaning to hijack your thread, Fanny, but for anyone who is interested:

This page explains the letter codes.
(At the end of the section!)
Each abbreviation in the personality codes refers to the following sections:

Mind
Energy
Nature
Tactics
Identity

And each subsection contains two variables eg. ‘Mind’ can either be Extrovert or Introvert (hence the first letters in the code - Ex or Int)

I saw on another thread that you mentioned that you have found it a helpful resource; I’m pleased that you have enjoyed it.

These links are good.

www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/mbti-basics/the-16-mbti-types.htm

But I have not (at this time) found anything that lists the letter codes with the names that people are stating here.

So from where do the one word summaries come?

I’m a defender. I recognised quite a lot of the defender personality in myself.

Urms...I think I both knew we'd be Entertainers....

Yay‼️ ✅

INFJ-T here again. Advocate...spot on.

I was INFJ when we had it done at work

A mediator

I'm an advocate. All the traits ring so true with me...it's a bit of an eye opener to be honest. What a window on why I'm how I am.

I’m a defender, DH a virtuoso (“having a romantic relationship with this type is a bit like nailing jell-o to a tree”).
Jell-o man and I have been together for 45 years…
???

So done it again and now I m a campaigner I think that fits me better

Mediator, which was no surprise to me or anyone who knows me well.

I suppose that there is a clue in your username, as I suppose that there is in mine too.

You could go round again.

I came out as an adventurer - never!
