On yours also, shouldn't you be Introverted since you got a 1% on extroversion? And I don't understand the Intuition/Sensing continuum, why they say you're Intuition if your score was 25% (under 50) IDK if I'm misunderstanding that one or not. But I definitely think you should be I for introversion, right?
Okay, I just took it:
INTP
Introvert(78% ) iNtuitive(25% ) Thinking(62% ) Perceiving(44% )
You have strong preference of Introversion over Extraversion (78% )
You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (25% )
You have distinctive preference of Thinking over Feeling (62% )
You have moderate preference of Perceiving over Judging (44% )
There is also something called an Ambivert (or something) but I'm not so sure I buy into the ambivert theory. Basically Ambiverts are supposed to flick between being introverted and extroverted.
EDIT: LOL, what is with these smileys?
Well, if that list is a true indicator of an introvert, then I am an introvert.
Percent and Right Parentheses = that funny face =
INTJ
You have distinctive preference of Introversion over Extraversion 67%
You have slight preference of Intuition over Sensing 12%
You have slight preference of Thinking over Feeling 12%
You have marginal or no preference of Judging over Perceiving 1%
More or less what I expected. I tend to be on or close to the cusp of most dimensions, if I'm understanding it correctly. Definitely an introvert though.
Sorry to keep on the test thing, but there are 4 dimensions (or whatever you want to call them) and each one has 2 extremes. Like with Extroversion/Introversion, your answers will show your are more of one than the other. So if I am say 32% extroverted, then that means I must be 68% introverted (to add up to 100% ). But say you got 50%, then you are very balanced between the 2. So in the test results, when it says you have a preference for thinking over feeling, then the thinking score should be higher. Also each dimension has nothing to do with the other 3, so they each have to add up to the 100%.
My result said INFP at the top, and the sentences below it all made sense, but some of yours don't match up to your letters, and that's the only reason i mentioned anything. I don't know, maybe their scoring program has something wrong with it. (I'm not really that nit-picky, but I used to love math when I was younger, so it just stood out to me that the numbers didn't make sense).
Yer, it's all a sliding scale. There's very rarely anyone whi's a "True INFP" or a "True INTP" or whatever. And really, you could be something else completley and taking the test on a day when you were more percieving than judging.
Introversion<----->Extroversion (Ambiverts supposedly flick between the two, but I'm not sure about that at all)
Intuition<-------> Sensing
Thinking <-------> Feeling
Percieving <------>Judging
INTP is usually considered to be the far end of the introversion scale, with ESFJ's at the other end. But I thought Schizoid PD was the extreme Introversion, with Histronic PD being extreme extroversion. I don't understand these whole "Oh you're a total INTP so you act as so" things. It makes sense but there's no set rule book and 16 personalities for the whole of humanity just doesn't seem to be ebough to describe the range of people out there.

this is what i got.. i dont think its entirely accurate because some of the questions were hard to answer accurately.. but according to the scale you were talking about, wouldnt it mean i am more of an extrovert? yet it says i have a preference of introvert over extrovert =S

I think it's like this. You have 4 dimensions with 2 dichotomies. With each dimension, it can be conceptualised like:
Extreme -------------------------- No preference --------------------------- Extreme
iN 100% ---- 75% ---- 50% ----25% ---- 0 ---- 25% ---- 50% ---- 75% ---- 100% S
The scores they give us are not our raw scores but the preferential scores in %. So if you score 50% (moderate preference) on iN it does not mean you scored 50% on S. It probably means you endorsed the iN questions 50% more than the S questions. Therefore, you have a moderate preference for iN over S.
Likewise if you scored 1% on iN it means you have a slight 1% preference for it (endorsed it 1% more). This means your iN and S scores are almost equal. In other words you are close to the cusp (hardly / no preference between them) because you scored roughly the same for each dichotomy.
