How many have taken the Myers-Briggs Personality test? If so, what did you think about the results?
I scored INFJ and was stunned at how accurately it described me. Kind of creepy actually...

I took the test and my type is ISFJ. I wasn't sure I was going to appreciate the results because some of the questions I could honestly have answered either way. But when I read the description for my type it was pretty spot on. And yes, a little creepy.

I've taken it a few times. I usually get INFJ as well.

So Sarah - you and I are kind of alike - except we're not! (Sensing vs. Intuition)

To test it, I went through the descriptions of the other types, and none of them really fit with the exception of INFP and I can see cross-overs from that type.

I've taken it a number of times, first in high school, then in college (psych course) and then a few times with a couple of employers.
I too am an INFJ! It's interesting that there seem to be multiples of us here, as this is considered to be a relatively rare type, accounting for approximately 2% of the results.

I'm thinking "Compliance Officer" is a natural job for an INFJ seeing as how it's in our nature to want to make the world a better place! LOL!!!

I'm either ENFP or ENFJ, Cause in the description of Perceiving vs Judging, I'd say I'm a J. But the Description of ENFP sounds more like me.
And I am NOT a compliance officer. I was a teller, am now a Loan Assistant, and the change from people to papers is starting to drive me insane. lol

Not surprising. Maybe you could find a way to talk directly with the loan applicants to meet the need for people interaction.

"......The MBTI focuses on normal populations and emphasizes the value of naturally occurring differences."
^^^^ this here is the problem, there are just not that many normal compliance folks, just sayin'....

The other issue is that most all of us know how the test works, so we can skew it to how we want to be.
They just call me insane, they dont know what else to call me.

ENFJ, although I'm actually an over-compensating I. With more I tendencies the last couple of years.

ESFJ, I completed a graduate school course dedicated to assessing leadership this past spring. The MBTI is one of the assessment tools we studied at length.

That's why we have so many freakish INFJ's on here!

Well at least it's only 16 Personality types and not 50 Shades.

Perhaps I could obtain a grant to study the 50 Shades of the 16 Personality Types.....

Re: Myers Briggs Personality types - 07/23/12 08:54 PM
A related personality type model is the Personality Assessment System (the PAS) developed by John Gittinger. Like the MBTI, PAS identifies people's inherited tendencies, and it goes on to describe how people either accept and foster them, or compensate and modify them as functioning adults.
With compensation and modification, Gittinger's PAS gives 512 types.
That is a lot of types!
