    ^ Interesting I just took a, introvert/extrovert test to see where I scored.

    Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test™
    This free test is based on Carl Jung's and Isabel Briggs Myers' typological approach to personality *.

    Your Type
    INTJ
    Introvert(56 iNtuitive(50 Thinking(1 Judging(22

    You have moderate preference of Introversion over Extraversion (56
    You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (50
    You have marginal or no preference of Thinking over Feeling (1
    You have slight preference of Judging over Perceiving (22

    http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes1.htm
    If you got 1% on thinking, wouldn't that mean you're really Feeling? And then it says you have a slight preference for Judging, but why when it's only 22% ? Wouldn't you really be Perceiving?

    You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (25
    You have distinctive preference of Feeling over Thinking (75
    You have moderate preference of Judging over Perceiving (56

    The mind boggles about that result.

    I honestly don't know. After socialising, I don't need to be alone to recharge my batteries. In fact, being with people and meeting new people has a remarkable healing affect on me and is something I enjoy doing. But I don't like big crowds of people and I have been likely to feel nervous and anxious and or shy before and or during the social occasions.

    It's been hard to pin down what's been going on for me and I suspect it's something from a while back.
    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.

    Oh, I agree. I'm pretty confused by it all too so no worries if you are.

    Honestly, sometimes these things are useful and sometimes they are not. All I know if I answered the questions to the best of my ability and knowledge and this is what came up.

    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.

    I have to admit I'm confused by the percentages too, I was just thinking how bad at math I must be lol.

    It may be preferential as in the 22% example, it may be 61% (39%+22% ) on judging vs 39% on feeling. Adding up to 100%

    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.

    I think your referring to this part of my score and I'm confused by it too

    "You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (50% )". I would have thought that would render me with no preference between the two.

    Introvert(33 iNtuitive(38 Feeling(62 Perceiving(56)%You have moderate preference of Introversion over Extraversion (33
    You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (38
    You have distinctive preference of Feeling over Thinking (62

    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.
