What is your personality?

[Chako]

I got LOGISTICIAN (ISTJ-A)

That about sums me up somewhat.

[PTRSAK]

When I got to the results page it just said...

"Your personality would make an effective contraceptive."

That's a bit harsh.

Kind of a neat quiz.

The nice man at the hospital said I was a passive-aggressive sociopath.

Yep, except we have Analysts, Diplomats, Sentinels and Explorers... planers, organizers, dreamers, individualists, leaders, thinkers, philosophers, adventurers, comedians... ever wondered who does the work?

And, are you?

INTP-A, apparently

INTP PERSONALITY (“THE LOGICIAN”)

The INTP personality type is fairly rare, making up only three percent of the population, which is definitely a good thing for them, as there's nothing they'd be more unhappy about than being "common". INTPs pride themselves on their inventiveness and creativity, their unique perspective and vigorous intellect. Usually known as the philosopher, the architect, or the dreamy professor, INTPs have been responsible for many scientific discoveries throughout history.

Woohoo, I'm logical

The problem is you have to choose between A and B and whether your answer is both or neither you will choose the middle. Or both but leaning towards A is the same as neither but even less so for B.

I don't think a true Virtuoso would make a good worker, as he is, by definition, not observant. He has a 17% bias towards intuition, that does not sound like someone who follows instructions . And read the Strength & Weaknesses, quality control with a worker with those kinds of traits would be a horror. No you'd want a Virtuoso in product development or as trouble-shooter, someplace where no SOP exist but not in production.

That is exactly how it is, the only thing its missing is the poor smurf who has to pay for it...

I took the test the other day and a dark SUV followed me all over town, I just got a knock at the door it was men in lab coats and clip boards. 

Great now what?

They may want to hire you.  I know someone who was interviewed by a three letter agency and this kind of testing is used to evaluate potential employees.

This time, ISTP - Virtuoso.

At various times I've been determined to be a INTJ and ISTJ. I've done the Briggs-Meyer probably a 8-10 times over the past 25 years, and I've never gotten the same results twice in a row, but these three are the ones that follow me.

Mediator (INFP-T) Yes, I think this suits me, especially the Turbulent part... 

INFP personalities are true idealists, always looking for the hint of good in even the worst of people and events, searching for ways to make things better. While they may be perceived as calm, reserved, or even shy, INFPs have an inner flame and passion that can truly shine. Comprising just 4% of the population, the risk of feeling misunderstood is unfortunately high for the INFP personality type - but when they find like-minded people to spend their time with, the harmony they feel will be a fountain of joy and inspiration.

INFP personalityBeing a part of the Diplomat (NF) personality group, INFPs are guided by their principles, rather than by logic (Analysts), excitement (Explorers), or practicality (Sentinels). When deciding how to move forward, they will look to honor, beauty, morality and virtue - INFPs are led by the purity of their intent, not rewards and punishments. People who share the INFP personality type are proud of this quality, and rightly so, but not everyone understands the drive behind these feelings, and it can lead to isolation.

    "All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither; deep roots are not reached by the frost."
    J. R. R. Tolkien

We Know What We Are, But Know Not What We May Be

At their best, these qualities enable INFPs to communicate deeply with others, easily speaking in metaphors and parables, and understanding and creating symbols to share their ideas. The strength of this intuitive communication style lends itself well to creative works, and it comes as no surprise that many famous INFPs are poets, writers and actors. Understanding themselves and their place in the world is important to INFPs, and they explore these ideas by projecting themselves into their work.
INFPs have a talent for self-expression, revealing their beauty and their secrets through metaphors and fictional characters.

INFPs’ ability with language doesn’t stop with their native tongue, either - as with most people who share the Diplomat personality types, they are considered gifted when it comes to learning a second (or third!) language. Their gift for communication also lends itself well to INFPs’ desire for harmony, a recurring theme with Diplomats, and helps them to move forward as they find their calling.

Listen to Many People, But Talk to Few

Unlike their Extraverted cousins though, INFPs will focus their attention on just a few people, a single worthy cause - spread too thinly, they’ll run out of energy, and even become dejected and overwhelmed by all the bad in the world that they can’t fix. This is a sad sight for INFPs’ friends, who will come to depend on their rosy outlook.

If they are not careful, INFPs can lose themselves in their quest for good and neglect the day-to-day upkeep that life demands. INFPs often drift into deep thought, enjoying contemplating the hypothetical and the philosophical more than any other personality type. Left unchecked, INFPs may start to lose touch, withdrawing into "hermit mode", and it can take a great deal of energy from their friends or partner to bring them back to the real world.

Luckily, like the flowers in spring, INFP’s affection, creativity, altruism and idealism will always come back, rewarding them and those they love perhaps not with logic and utility, but with a world view that inspires compassion, kindness and beauty wherever they go.

The nice man at the hospital said I was a passive-aggressive sociopath.

That's what I was thinking. All the results of this 4 dimensional Personality test are made to sound positive. And the ideas behind it are one whole century old (Carl Jung). There are more modern ones wich are research based with factor analusis etc (although not finite), like the Big Five. So a real test should be able to tell you that you are obsessive and not tidy, passive aggressive and not a talented defencive offencive player, depressive and not realist, narcisist and not glamorous etc.
But goldened pills are easier to shallow, as we say here.

PS: You don't act as a sociopath here if you really are one hiraethus. Perhaps the nice man in the hospital wasn't really nice and projected his countertransference to you.

So am I really the only INFJ  here ?!

It looks like INFJ might be one of the rarest of the MBTI's.
