Pretty much this. The result I got was spot on for my personality as a whole.

I agree with nackidno.
There is one critical fact that I think is important to note: personality is not the same as personality type. There are many variables that define your personality, some of which have nothing to do with personality type. To determine your personality type within any system, you must know exactly what to look for, and this is what these tests don't account for.
That's probably why we're seeing so many INTJ's here - because everyone is thoughtful, cautious in decisions and has achieved mastery in something. In fact, according to this test, I am also an INTJ, even though I know I am an ESFP (a complete opposite!).

Projective Personality test is the name
Quote:They are called Myers-Briggs tests, and for me, they have been a

But there is no normal, what you perceive as normal is just that: your perception. And your perception can be both right and wrong, depending on: mood, age, place, night/day, how your day have been and what have happened shortly before the test. I asked a friend to do the test based on how she thinks of me and we got different results, which shows that the test cannot give a true result because it projects only what is perceived, and not what you truly are.
I'm objectively against most kinds of labelling though, just be who you are and don't worry about what other people think and how you should be. That goes for many of psychological diagnoses as well.

RE: Your personality?
That's what I'm saying though, the result I got wasn't just accurate to my current personality, it pretty accurately summed up the way I've acted and felt for the last 3 - 4 years.
And besides, in regard to your friend taking a test based on you, of course she wouldn't get the same answer because many of the questions have to do with the way you think and feel which only you really know. Part of the result I got is that I'm bad with sharing my feelings, which I've known for a pretty long time, but I highly doubt any of my friends would answer that way for me cause they have no way of knowing that.

Oh sorry. I saw him posted the same thing once and thought he was spamming. Sorry. Although he posted the same pic on 3 threads.

It's fine, the only time it is normally a spammer is if he only has 1-3 post and talks about something off-topic and then provides a link and I don't know why he did that either.
