Personality test Page 5

Another INTJ here (and I'm a female one as well, I believe there's less of us).

Although INTJs are quite rare in general, there seem to be loads of us discussing personality types online. I think it's because we like systems (and arguing). Interesting to see lots here as well, although I suppose the sample's biased towards people who want to take the test (and the whole thing obviously appeals more to INTJs).

Also I presume writing and analysing comedy are both suited towards the INTJ mind, so it shouldn't be too surprising there are a bunch of us here.

Question -- Is it difficult being a female INTJ?

Quote: Kenneth @ July 20 2012, 2:30 PM BST

It classified me as ENTJ, which it went on to describe as being a tall, long-haired dullard, prone to wasting free time online due to being surrounded by Chinese people who don't watch Minder. At which point I stopped reading the profile. These things are all very well for fun, but the notion that every single person on earth can be classified into one of 16 distinct personality categories is dumb. Watching Survivor and The Wacky Races taught me that.

Errr, what? Don't think you did a proper Myers-Briggs test or you read a very strange profile indeed.

What a weird question!

Quote: Yacob Wingnut @ July 20 2012, 12:17 PM BST

Possibly I have a little too much high regard for the Myers-Briggs personality test, but I think calling it "pretentious cat wank" is a little too severe.

How about "pretentious dog jism" then? Top of the page of the profile was the following quote: "I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?"

F**k off! I always get an emergency aisle seat or front row seat or business class on account of my long legs. This idiotic spiel assumes that that a window seat is desirable. Is it f**k! Not sitting next to a noisy brat or an obese stinky person is desirable. And I can control where I sit by requesting the seat I want. Absolutely preposterous garbage. I read palms and tarot cards and leaf/petal landings for a lark. People lap it up, but it's all bollocks.

Well I am a benevolent pedagogue apparently with tremendous charisma - so I think the test must work

I don't know what test and profile you read but it's not the one any of us did!

True (as well as being a question that's difficult to answer), but I was curious. Male INTJs are rare but female INTJs are rarer and I assume you face different expectations than me.

Don't have to answer btw.

Same one. This is the ridiculous quote that erroneously assumed I have no control over where I sit on an airplane:

If that's not a right load of old budgerigar semen, then I don't know what is. Still, if you would like, I can tell you your fortune. You just have to go into the garden, pick a dozen leaves from that tree, two leaves from that tree and one flower from that plant. Now bring them over here back to our table. Sit down. Tear the petals off the flower. Hold the leaves and petals in both hands. Think about your fears, now think about your hopes and desires. Now throw the leaves and petals upward. There, they have landed and now I can read them. They tell the story of your personality and your future, etc, etc... Seriously, people believe this shit.

You're taking the quote literally?

How should I take it? As a metaphor for my voracious sexual appetite, which I am about to sate?

INTJ. After I'd argued with the questions for quite a long time.

Try this instead: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ENTJ

That website looks very wanky.

I suppose I find the female gender stereotype more infuriating than many women because it is completely at odds with my personality type. I hate being complimented on my appearance and expected to gush and feel special because someone likes the colour that my eyes happen to be. I don't want to watch romantic films that have no other merits, I won't wear make-up, I won't wear uncomfortable shoes, I don't have any particular affection for puppies and kittens etc. etc. Men aren't expected to be irrational, women are expected to be fauning, prissy nincompoops.

ENFJ - do I have to get it tattooed?

Yes, on your left buttock.

Make sure they spell it right.
