What is your personality?

So am I really the only INFJ  here ?!

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

Funny, I've always gotten INTJ or INTP when I did the test quite a few years back, but now I'm ESTP.

ESFJ Personality (“The Consul”) This test is complete bullsmurf, so many of the questions contradict proper reasoned thought processes.
This one pissed me off the most "
You are more of a natural improviser than a careful planner." Wrong, you plan and then if that doesn't work you improvise. Ask any Jarhead.

Some people don't tend to plan first.  That is the whole point of the question.

You always plan first, there is no reason to not plan

Yes this makes sense however most dont plan to foul up yet it happens.  The idea is there are many who dont see the reason to plan and go about life improvised more or less.

I have met some of these and they scare me!

Yes very much so.  I'm a planner and have contingency plans to boot.

Me three.  I also came across a question or two on the questionnaires that make me scratch my head and ask myself; "How could someone answer differently?"  The most significant thing this exercise has done for me is to understand there are personality types that I probably am always going to have difficulty with.  And them with me.  The definitions of personality types don't really explain WHY people are the way they are, only that there are different types of personalities that one is going to encounter in life.

There is a personality type (I don't remember which), in which they have a tendency to need to compromise for the coherency of the group, compromise to avoid stress and bring happiness to themselves.  It can even be the case that they will compromise principles or even lie in an attempt to bring about this coherency.  You might encounter them as someone who will say, "Yes it is a lie, but it's for your own good."  I have encountered people like this in my life and I can't deal with them very well.  They are beyond reason.  I now understand that there is probably nothing I can do about it and avoid getting close to these kinds of people in my personal life that will bring me stress.

At times it will seem that INTJs are bent on deconstructing and rebuilding every idea and system they come into contact with, employing a sense of perfectionism and even morality to this work.

INTJ here, and I'm sorry to say, while attempting to be funny it is not well contrived... There are many adjectives that could be given to an INTJ (bookish is even in the narrative), but "stalkerish" is not one of them. Go back to your drawing board and do it again F-

ISFP PERSONALITY (“THE ADVENTURER”)

I change during the course of a day. I wake and I'm one person, and when I go to sleep I know for certain I'm somebody else.
Bob Dylan
ISFP personality types are true artists, but not necessarily in the typical sense where they're out painting happy little trees. Often enough though, they are perfectly capable of this. Rather, it's that they use aesthetics, design and even their choices and actions to push the limits of social convention. ISFPs enjoy upsetting traditional expectations with experiments in beauty and behavior - chances are, they've expressed more than once the phrase "Don't box me in!"

HAPPY TO BE WHO THEY ARE

ISFPs live in a colorful, sensual world, inspired by connections with people and ideas. ISFP personalities take joy in reinterpreting these connections, reinventing and experimenting with both themselves and new perspectives. No other type explores and experiments in this way more. This creates a sense of spontaneity, making ISFPs seem unpredictable, even to their close friends and loved ones.

Despite all this, ISFPs are definitely Introverts (I), surprising their friends further when they step out of the spotlight to be by themselves to recharge. Just because they are alone though, doesn't mean people with the ISFP personality type sit idle - they take this time for introspection, assessing their principles. Rather than dwelling on the past or the future, ISFPs think about who they are. They return from their cloister, transformed.

ISFPs live to find ways to push their passions. Riskier behaviors like gambling and extreme sports are more common with this personality type than with others. Fortunately their attunement to the moment and their environment allows them to do better than most. ISFPs also enjoy connecting with others, and have a certain irresistible charm.

ISFPs always know just the compliment to soften a heart that's getting ready to call their risks irresponsible or reckless.
However, if a criticism does get through, it can end poorly. Some ISFPs can handle kindly phrased commentary, valuing it as another perspective to help push their passions in new directions. But if the comments are more biting and less mature, ISFP personalities can lose their tempers in spectacular fashion.

ISFPs are sensitive to others' feelings and value harmony. When faced with criticism, it can be a challenge for people with this type to step away from the moment long enough to not get caught up in the heat of the moment. But living in the moment goes both ways, and once the heightened emotions of an argument cool, ISFPs can usually call the past the past and move on as though it never occurred.

MEANING IS IN EVERY EXPRESSION OF LIFE

The biggest challenge facing ISFPs is planning for the future. Finding constructive ideals to base their goals on and working out goals that create positive principles is no small task. Unlike Sentinel types, ISFPs don't plan their futures in terms of assets and retirement. Rather, they plan actions and behaviors as contributions to a sense of identity, building a portfolio of experiences, not stocks.

If these goals and principles are noble, ISFPs can act with amazing charity and selflessness - but it can also happen that people with the ISFP personality type establish a more self-centered identity, acting with selfishness, manipulation and egoism. It's important for ISFPs to remember to actively become the person they want to be. Developing and maintaining a new habit may not come naturally, but taking the time each day to understand their motivations allows ISFPs to use their strengths to pursue whatever they've come to love.

Can't confirm this, but for INTPs I say it's true.

[nuxi]

I'm INFP - The Mediator.

[AimlessWanderer]

I'm pretty certain that on the maybe 3 times I've taken a similar test since I did my (two out of five years) training in hypnopsychotherapy, I have had different results every time, AND felt happy with the result. Kind of backs up my theory that we are a unique blend of nature, nurture, experience and circumstance

Whilst our genes and upbringing programmed us at an early age to perceive things a certain way, and what we encounter thereafter modifies or reinforces it, at any given moment we can deviate from or adapt the bias. This (to me) is why psychology is as much an art as it is a science

This guys is very much an INTP like myself.  He has some interesting videos on comparing INTPs to other types.

I'm a Libra, though I was born on the cusp of Scorpio so that has an influence as well.

The difference is that astrology is based on the idea that your personality is somehow related to the movement of stars and planets.

MBTI is based on Jungian Psychology.  Don't blow it off so easily.

[AimlessWanderer]

I'm Sun in Scorpio, Moon in Libra
Ox-Rat on Chinese system
ISFP according to this test

I don't read too much into any of them though

Never quite connected with Jungian theories. Lots of thing don't gel with me, particularly the collective unconsciousness. I much prefer Freud, Adler, and to some extent Fritz Perls (Gestalt), although I am quite kinesthetic in nature

[firiki]

Carl Jung kinda lost the plot after a while with various things pertaining to the supernatural  I'm not dismissing his work, that I cannot really judge due to lack of proper formation, because I try and keep an open mind but from what little I know, I prefer J. Lacan.
