Mine is INTP. Born in 1982.

ISTJ Born 1983

INTP, born 1949

INTJ (I think. It may have been ISTJ.), born 1954

INTP 1982

Trend so far:

Five Is; Zero Es

Four Ns; One S

Five Ts; Zero Fs

Three Ps; Two Js

Four NTs; One SJ

INFJ. This would make me a Mystic Writer, an Idealist, a Visionary Eagle. Born in 1956, which would make a Joneser, a pessimistic idealist.

I am an INFJ, almost a INTJ. Born 1958.

As I recall, INFJs are rare, the smallest percentage of either gender. We are virtually invisible to others. My family treats me as a sort of imbecile.

xNTJ, 1969

I usually see these listed as:

EexiI
NnxsS
TtxfF
JjxpP

depending on how strong your affinity is. I'm strong NTJ, dead center on I/E

Mine does too. :sad: While we may be rare in the general population, we don't seem to be too rare on this website, which is swarming with INTJs and INFJs.

:grin: An another potential ISTJ, I have been pretty lonely here on T4T when it come to personality types, Lis.

I forget when I took the test, on the old threads. I think I was INTJ, close to INFJ. (Born 1960.)

Didn't we figure out last time that INTJ is around 1% of the general population, but more than half of us were INTJ?

Does this invalidate this entire website as to representative American opinions?? :smile:

I was amazed when I came to this site too. It is very rare to see this many INTPs, as well as INFJs and INTJs at this site.

This is a self selected group in which Ns-"iNtuitives"-who are a minority in the larger society-seem to make up a majority of posters. I think it is the general futuristic orientation, and a willingness to extrapolate using cycles or trends. BTW, do any other INFJs feel that they are treated as imbeciles? I would bet that the culprits are Sensors.

MBTI: ENTJ, although I tied on S and N and was scored as N because of the gender tiebreaker (men scored as N, women as S).

This makes me the only extravert here so far. Guess I know who'll be the one dominating any face-to-face among the people here! :smile:

Birthyear: 1959--it's in my screen name!

FWIW, my personality type is known as the Field Marshal and I'm close to the Boomer-Xer cusp. I could end up being a midlife Nomad leader. Anyone care to follow me into "battle"? :wink:

When I took the test, Here were my percentages:

I - 100%
N - 95%
T - 59%
P - 82%

My personality type is known as the Architect, and we usually the designers of systems. So I will most likely be very active in designing the new civic order.

Is there a link to a site where a newbie could find his/her MB profile? It's been years since I took this and I don't remember how I turned out.

Thanks,

Ok, I checked my score (it was at work), and I am an ISTJ, though the N/S is where I'm almost 50%-50%. Everything else is very definite.

It doesn't surprise me at all that most of us are introverts.

OK, I'll bite. I am an INTP as well and, given that we supposedly comprise only 1% of the population, I agree with Robert and others that it is remarkable to find so many of us in one place. The same can be said for Tim and Susan if INFJs are just as rare or even rarer. And are not INTJs, which supposedly swarm this place, equally as rare? If so, this place is almost exclusively populated by people representative of under 5% of the general population. I wonder what on earth we all have in common here given our rare and disparate temperaments?

It has been a while since I looked into this but I remember my scores to be roughly:

I - 50-60%
N - 65-75%
T - 100%
P - 55-65%

If I had to guess, I would be more I and possibly more P today with a change in lifestyle.

Robert, your scores interested me as, even though they show you to be an INTP, they clearly portray you as a dominant intuitive as opposed to a dominant thinker (INTPs are dominant thinkers). Let me explain that, for a while, I thought I was an ENTP as I originally scored 50-55% E and I really could relate to the ENTP descriptions, even though I am definitely not an extrovert. But no matter how many times I took any test, I came out 100% T as opposed to 65-75% N and ENTPs are dominant N so there was a contradiction present.

The test is simple enough that it can fairly easily mistype people but it is of primary benefit in finding one's dominant function and the right type can be derived from that dominant function even if the test in its entirety gives a different result. It showed unmistakably that I was dominant T as opposed to dominant N and thus an INTP despite the test's error in edging me slightly toward E and ENTP. And I cannot deny that I am an INTP although possibly a slightly more sociable one.

So, Robert, if we subject your individual scores to the same analysis, they show you to be unmistakably a dominant N ahead of T by a wide margin. They also leave little doubt that you are an I. But the clear N dominance contradicts the ordering of functions for an INTP. From looking at your scores, I would be tempted to see you as a mistyped INTJ. Yet the test does show you to be pretty solidly P so I just do not know.

Just out of curiosity, do you have any doubt about your typing as an INTP? Or does no other temperament description apply to you such that you are without a doubt an INTP? Your opinion would be helpful to me in evaluating the validity of these tests.

A fast and quick profile can be found here: http://www.personalitytype.com/quiz.html

But a more reliable one (and one that costs $15) can be found here: http://www.advisorteam.com/user/ktsintro.asp

In 1990, I tested as INTJ

In 2000, I tested as ISTJ.

In both years, my N/S scores were borderline, as were my T scores (borderline with F).

The one trait that was strong was "J". I like to know where I stand.

As a 1956 cohort, I think of myself as a late-wave Boomer (doesn't the Joneser wave start in 1957? If so, I just missed being a Joneser).

Yay!! Another INTP!! :grin:

Actually, the percentages don't show what is dominant. They only show you the degree by which you harber that preference. So even if my 'T' turned out to be 51, I would still be an INTP. Here is a breakdown of the INTP personality type:

Dominant: Introverted Thinking (Ti)
Secondary: Extraverted Intuition (Ne)
Teritary: Introverted Sensing (Si)
Inferior: Extraverted Feeling (Fe)

So that means that even though my 'T' is only 59, my Ti is still very dominant. Now if, however, my 'T' was a 49, I would then be an INFP. That means that my functions would then be:

Dominant: Introverted Feeling (Fi)
Secondary: Extraverted Intuition (Ne)
Tertiary: Introverted Sensing (Si)
Inferior: Extraverted Thinking (Te)

The reason is that when your 'T' is higher than 50, then it is dominant over your 'F'. So my dominant function will be (59T|41F)i. But my thinking predominates. An INTP with 100% N and 51% T will still have a Ti that dominates his/her thinking.

Again, the numbers do now show which ones are dominant...not by a long shot. Instead, they show the degree of the scale. For instance, the SN scale. My 95% N only says that I prefer my intuition to my sensing on a more extreme scale. So that means that each letter is totally independent from each other when using the xxxx designation to determine your type.

Do I have any doubt about my INTP type? Absolutely not. The descriptions at PersonalityPage.Com and INTP.org are amazingly exact in their description of my type. INTJs are very related to INTJs, but from my studies, the second type that would best describe me is INFP. INTJ would come third. This comes as no surprise to me since my 'F' is 41. But still, I am undeniably an INTP.

I am someone who is usually caught in my own thoughts. My Ti is very dominant over my other preferences. I'm the type of person who will plan to walk to the library. When I leave my house, I will just be in deep thought. Then all of a sudden, I will be at the library, and not remember ever walking there. :lol:

I took the test and I'm an ISTJ.

Introverted 78%
Sensing 78%
Thinking 22%
Judging 78%

Born in 1961.
