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

Hello!
So no time like the present…
The Myers-Briggs Personality Test; otherwise known as 16 Personality Types.
I first did it several years ago.
It’s very interesting (well, I think so!)
Here is the link…

I'm an Advocate. It tells me I'm unique, but there seems to be a lot of us on here!

FannyCornforth Wed 29-Jun-22 14:22:18

Yes, It’s staggering how many Advocates are on here!

I'm an Advocate. Pretty much spot on!
I was a Union Rep at the largest Company I worked for, and eventually (after about 20 years) became the only woman ever to be elected to the position of Chair in 80 years. Sadly, there hasn't been one since, either.
Both before and after this, I was always the one that was asked to take a message to (or speak to) a Manager or individual, on behalf of others.

Ditto, Shysal. reckon it's about 10/15%correct .

In one way, as it is rare, yes.

However, would people whose Myers-Briggs type that starts with an E be bothered with Gransnet? Would they rather be skydiving and that sort of thing as they get their Energy from external things.

Good grief! I'm an adventurer! Who knew? Much of it fits, though...

hicaz46 Wed 29-Jun-22 16:21:26

I'm a Debater which is about right. Always questioning and curious.

lizzypopbottle Wed 29-Jun-22 16:24:24

I can't help wondering (curiosity features in my profile ?) if I took the test again right now, tomorrow, next week or next year, in the winter, at midnight rather than midday etc. whether it would come out the same...
Anyone tried it?

I’ve just completed the test again.
It was about five years ago that I last did it; and about 15 years since I first did it.
I’ve consistently been an Advocate.

Lizzie, there you go

Sara1954 Wed 29-Jun-22 17:28:38

I’m a logician.
I did it again with much more care, same result.
I honestly don’t recognise myself.

harrysgran Wed 29-Jun-22 17:46:15

Thanks for that love these type quizzes I'm a defender found it very accurate

Bea65 Wed 29-Jun-22 17:47:58

[FannyCornforth] my result - Assertive Adventurer.. A Lion or a House cat.! Well..depending on my ever changing daily mood and sleep disturbances etc....Yes Lion's ROAR a lot especially when I encounter/hear see social injustices....when exhausted..yes could be a House cat.. LAZY feline just enjoying eating and sleepinggrin

Bea65 Wed 29-Jun-22 17:53:51

FannyCornforth well if I had taken this test just a few years/decades ago think the results would have been different..enjoyable exercise..thank you!

My post from this morning, lizzy:

I was a Defender 15 minutes ago. Forgot to save my results and hadn’t checked it out properly, so did the test again and now I’m an Assertive Logistician. Split personality, anyone?

I believe Defenders and Logisticians both come under rhe Advocate umbrella though?

62Granny Wed 29-Jun-22 18:00:57

I came up as a defender and I would say reading the profile, yes definitely.

Quichette Wed 29-Jun-22 18:40:34

ENTJ-T Commander, I see no others in this thread. I taught at University level and headed a State level government department during my work life. I have consistently tested as this having done this test several times. Nowadays I content myself with Commanding my household, DH and cats grin. We all know commanding cats is purely delusional ?

honeyrose Wed 29-Jun-22 18:52:46

Another defender here. I’m pretty sure I did this test before and came out as something different though. Defender does seem very accurate for me. I love these sort of psychology tests!

ShazzaKanazza Wed 29-Jun-22 19:10:32

I’m a defender personality. Which reading it I can see a lot in me.

Wetnosewheatie Wed 29-Jun-22 19:26:04

Im an advocate. I recognise myself in the response

Wetnosewheatie Wed 29-Jun-22 19:26:47

You would a special type of person if you could command a cat

Marydoll Wed 29-Jun-22 19:38:56

My DD has just done it and we are identical!!!

NainDylan Wed 29-Jun-22 19:52:23

I had been wondering what Myers-Briggs was, as I do online dating, and men sometimes refer to it in their profile, saying what sort of M-B personality they are.

lovebeigecardigans1955 Wed 29-Jun-22 19:54:40

Another advocate here.

homefarm Wed 29-Jun-22 20:08:21

I come out as an Architect - my daughter says it's me to a T
Who knew.

Sara1954 Wed 29-Jun-22 20:27:48

Tried for the third time, really tried to be accurate, still came out the same, still really don’t recognise myself.
