Ever Take The Myers-Briggs Test? 🤔

[WillBrink]

This is a short version. The full version is quite long. I took the full version in Personality Psych course back in the day, among various psych courses I took. Unlike many/most online personality tests that are nonsense, The Myers-Briggs test is used in all sorts of places, and has been very influential, but not viewed as valid or useful as it once was apparently since I took it mid 90s. Mine, which comes as no surprise:

Your personality type is:

Logician
INTP-T

" Logicians pride themselves on their unique perspectives and vigorous intellect. They can’t help but puzzle over the mysteries of the universe – which may explain why some of the most influential philosophers and scientists of all time have been Logicians. This personality type is fairly rare, but with their creativity and inventiveness, Logicians aren’t afraid to stand out from the crowd."

No surprise, ALBERT EINSTEIN was a Logician. What are you?

Pretty much everyone in the US Armed Services took that.......or at least they used to........

Unlike your usual random untested stuff, that one is heavily researched, time tested, used all over the world, and very accurate.

I am also a logistician, ISTJ-A.

I’m very extroverted in that I can and usually can engage strangers in conversation. I’d love to be a talk show interviewer- i get to meet and interact with people and learn new things- but then they go away. I don’t make ‘friends’ easily.

These self reported tests are interesting. One filled out by other people about you are more interesting.

Self delusion is very powerful.

I have not seen one of those, but that does sound interesting for sure.

I don't recall taking this test in the Navy, but that was over 30 years ago so who knows.

Came out as Architect, (INTJ-A)
Seems to be spot on.

Took it but it couldn't connect to the server for a grade, guess the fiber optic is running slow today.

Reminds me a lot of the test they gave us at the refinery. We didn't get a grade or classification for that one, it was either you can go in the gate or you can't go in the gate.

Whatever, to be honest I could care less. The test questioning was interesting though.

Not really. MBTI is largely despised by the research/academic community as pseudoscience, and studies have shown that folks can get different results when retaking the test at different times. It was created by people with no formal education in psychology nor educational testing, and was always a product to be sold to the business world.

The Big Five personality traits model, which has some overlap with some of the things that MBTI score for, typically has much more credence in the scientific community.
