Myers Briggs Abridged Alphabet Soup
Posted 17 Sep 2008 at 13:33 UTC by insectaturk 
This soup has only 8 different letters, and we make no warranty that all eight of them will appear in any one bowl. I/E introvert/extrovert S/N sensing/iNtuitive T/F thinking/feeling P/J perceiving/judging
Here is a place to write your MBPI type and what you think about it, or others' types, and what you think about them.
I took the official test last week for the second time in my life. The other time I took it I was 14 years old and was an INFP. It seemed accurate at the time. I've seen myself as a J now for years, but it was interesting to find that I am an I S/N TJ. Yes, equally split between S and N.
Noteworthy is that sometime in the last 17 years I have gone from my mother's type to my father's type. Also that I am exhibiting the behaviors both ISTJs and INTJs are reported to exhibit under stress.
Is being an I S/N T J going to make my poetry not as good? Is it law school that is driving my T up? I think I am happy with the I and the J but I would like to be evenly split on F and T.

i've taken it (unofficially) a couple times. first time was INTP but last time was INTJ. I'm cool with that. it fits me, i think. also, the borderline between the J and the P is definitely where i sit.

different results. i think after taking a few of these and also remembering where i landed previously, i am mostly an ENFP. the only one that doesn't seem to waver is the F.a friend of mine who worked in the field of pyschology for a while gave me the test a few years ago and i should go find the results she wrote up for me.

Everytime...and I've had to take it a lot of times. I score closer to the T/F line than any of the others, and that makes a lot of sense to me. My N is about as far from an S as it can be... Had to take it again this past summer for my missionary training thing. I think it's more fun to try and label other people--something that the test administrators always try to discourage you from doing.

i've taken the test and gotten the same result twice... once as a teenager and again in college. the second time measured each component on a continuum rather than as discrete opposites, and i measured pretty severely to one side in each one.

I remember blvdgrl that you are an INFP. Even if I hadn't remembered, I would know that. Only INFPs are so blissfully distracting for me as you were when we lived next to each other in Burgh. And as an INFP you are of course going to be figuring everyone else out.

I kinda remember taking this test once at a really dumb work thing back in Maine. I was very hung-over and I think I failed or did something wrong. Mostly I remember a few X's on my chart, although I don't remember what that meant. I think I had and IT and then I don't remember, Maybe both X's? These are things I no longer know.It seems that classifying people by 4 letters might be a bit limiting, but I've always been a pessimistic. Is that in there?

I have taken the test several times, and it seems to be somewhat affected by my mood, and also (more understandably) on my maturation. When I took it in college as an RA with R0b Babc0ck, I was an INTP. My I was about 10%, N was about 1%, T was about 3%, and P was about 50%. Other times I've taken it recently I was an INTJ. I just took it now and got INFJ... so I don't really know. The INTP test was a longer extended one, and the recent ones were shorter "online" tests, so I don't know if they are as good, or what. I think it is interesting in terms of personal insight, but I don't think it is the be-all and end-all of personality categorization. There are way more than 16 different kinds of people.

The two things that are consistent for me of all is that I am an IN (introverted, intuitive). I think that's true, because I don't struggle with the answers to those questions. I would rather sit at home and read a book than go to a party. I'm usually more prone to think about (and worry about) theoretical possibilities than be tied down only to know facts. I think I am more of a J (planned and orderly) now than I was in the past (when I was a P -- liking flexibility an spontanaeity), but a lot of that is because I don't have a lot of room for flexibility in my life -- it's just too busy.
