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…

Fanny this will probably come as no surprise but I came out as Entertainer given what I've got up to since having the same op as you ...and I was noddingall the way through and even the bits I wasn't so keen on..in my heart I knew were true. I did a weekend course some years ago on the Ennnegram...9 personalities with sub types. I couldn't recognise myself at all in any of them but knew I didn't want to be type 2. In the end that is exactly what I was....basically all things to all people. I railed against it for a while then gave up and accepted the truth of it. I hope you are getting steadily better every day.

Best wishes post op Fanny, hope your not too uncomfortable. Enjoyed doing that and I'm a Logistician, quite a lot rings true.

I'm a defender. Quite a true personality trait, looking at the write-up.

Thanks Fanny. Do hope you're feeling better after your op.
Apparently I'm a Defender. I love this sort of thing. Anything really to do with Psychology.

I've just completed the questionnaire, and have been "diagnosed" as an Advocate, which I feel was spot on. Very impressed!

And who is ‘Dee1012’?

Ah! Sorry, she’s upthread and a mediator smile

Bridie22 Tue 28-Jun-22 13:25:04

Advocate !

FannyCornforth Tue 28-Jun-22 13:24:58

I’m glad that everyone is enjoying the Test (apart from Yogitree! wink)
Who is Emre by the way?

yogitree Tue 28-Jun-22 13:22:20

Dee1012 me too, but this conclusion is worrying! "Indeed, using the MBTI to unlock the mysteries of the self is akin to trying to understand the Stone Age by watching The Flintstones.

But Emre’s goal is not to understand the self. Rather, it is to explore two particular selves. This is a story of two remarkable women who founded an enormously successful commercial empire, which has significantly framed the conversation about the contours of personality, as understood by millions of Westerners today. As Emre shows convincingly, the fact that the premises of this conversation are so flimsy makes the examination of its origins and impact all the more interesting, more important — and more disturbing"

I’m a Consul. It is very accurate. Quite spooky really ?

Hetty58 Tue 28-Jun-22 13:10:43

I'm a logician - no wonder I struggle to understand you all!

EkwaNimitee Tue 28-Jun-22 13:02:43

That was amusing! I’m an architect! Quite a lot was spot on

GagaJo Tue 28-Jun-22 13:01:46

Architect. Introverted, intuitive, thinker. Sounds about right.

supernanauna1 Tue 28-Jun-22 12:58:51

Apparently I'm a Virtuoso!

Mollygo Tue 28-Jun-22 12:53:19

I’m a protagonist. Is that good or bad?

Callistemon21 Tue 28-Jun-22 12:51:27

I'm an Advocate - not sure about that.

shysal Tue 28-Jun-22 12:50:22

I too am a defender. I didn't need to be told that I am an introvert!

aggie Tue 28-Jun-22 12:48:27

Adventurer ? I don’t think so !

Shandy57 Tue 28-Jun-22 12:38:00

I'm a defender!

Joseanne Tue 28-Jun-22 12:30:38

Pretty spot on Fanny. I came out as even tempered, enthusiastic, empathetic and creative.
I'm not sure I'm quite a campaigner though?

henetha Tue 28-Jun-22 12:28:59

Fascinating stuff. I'm a mediator apparently. INFP-T

Mamie Tue 28-Jun-22 12:24:06

I am a protagonist (lifetime in education profession).
Pretty accurate I think.

Chocolatelovinggran Tue 28-Jun-22 12:18:00

I'm with Grandmabatty. It resonates with me as reflecting aspects of my career and in my personal life.
