Your data is going to be skewed because the very nature of blogging attracts certain types of personalities.

I'm sure there will be more. As this experiment continues to expand, more ISTP's will emerge. Hey, I'm the only ESFP so far! :)

If everyone posts an article about their Myers-Briggs type, pointing them to this list, it will grow, and you will have company!

So they say, but at a certain point "unique" becomes "alienated from society."

@timethief: Yes, there are two threads! I started a new one to let people now that I had posted the results, and this one made it's was back to the top, so people have been leaving their answers on this thread too. So... I'll just keep checking them both. Thanks for commenting. I have added you to the list.

BTW - I know exactly what you mean about arguing over the answers. I did that with several of the questions too.

One more thing - I am thinking of starting a thread for "sports nuts" and maybe another for "tech heads" or something to get them to open the thread since *based on the results* it seems that some personality types just aren't interested in taking a profile test. So the results seem to be skewed toward INTJ and INFJ. Or, we could come to the conclusion that blogging is a great outlet for (I)ntroverted i(N)tuative (J)udgers. Hmmmm... the jury is still out. It will be interesting to see the list grow.

I could have sworn I posted to this thread but I cannot find my post.
Weird. Are there two similar threads on this?

INFJ
Introverted - Intuitive - Feeling - Judging
Strength of the preferences %
44 - 38 - 62 - 17
You are:
* moderately expressed introvert
* moderately expressed intuitive personality
* distinctively expressed feeling personality
* slightly expressed judging personality

IMO I answered the questions too quickly and there were so many that I wanted to argue with because they were this or that questions, without any other alternatives. IMO the intuition figure above is a low ball figure.

Am I the only ENFP?

Extraverted 56
Intuitive 88
Feeling 75
Perceiving 56

I've taken the test many times - always comes out the same... I do like the description though

http://www.personalitypage.com/ENFP.html

As an ENFP, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you take things in primarily via your intuition. Your secondary mode is internal, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit in with your personal value system.

ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people, typically very bright and full of potential. They live in the world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. Their enthusiasm lends them the ability to inspire and motivate others, more so than we see in other types. They can talk their way in or out of anything. They love life, seeing it as a special gift, and strive to make the most out of it.

Excellent-- we may be introverts, but that doesn't mean we're alone. :)

BTW - Four INFJ's on the list so far! Second only to 6 INTJ's.

Thanks for commenting - Yes it does seem the Introverts are favored here. It's a great way for them to express themselves and make connections with others without feeling quite as drained of their energy as they would say at a party or group function.

In regard to your third number being low:

The third criterion, Thinking - Feeling defines how the person processes information. Thinking means that a person makes a decision mainly through logic. Feeling means that, as a rule, he or she makes a decision based on emotion.

You probably think about how you feel alot. OK, that was a joke. But, seriously, you haven't spiked in any one category, so you probably bounce back and forth quite a bit in all but the 2nd category.

That's what I like about this particular profile test is that there is no wrong answer.

It appears that most bloggers here are introverts. That seems to make sense.

I, however, am an ENTJ:

# slightly expressed extravert 22
# moderately expressed intuitive personality 50
# slightly expressed thinking personality 12
# slightly expressed judging personality 22

I would've thought my thinking category would've been much stronger--I spend a lot of time thinking.

We have a couple of ESFJ's so far, but I think you are the first ISFJ. We'll know more and soon as I get this list put together here.

That was such a good use of the acronym letters, that I thought you were saying the you weren't that Juvenile... lol and yet! No wonder you said it was soooooooooo wrong. Sorry about the confusion!

@globalgirl: That's a good question, but I am going to go with what people have submitted to me here. It should end up being a really good tool for people to find "like-minded" bloggers.

@Outside RE: "You're right that the blogs will "match" their personality. It wouldn't make sense otherwise unless someone had MPD."

It would still be true because each "personality" is a unique separate individual with different personality types, so if the person is consistent in a specific personality that only blogs on blog A then they should match and be consistent. If personality does blog B, then the personality traits would match their.

Or different different personalities do the blog and the test, they probably would score somewhere all over they still end up with a score, then they may appeal to the more middle group. I think it still would work.

Hmmm...is my INFJ showing? That just fits me perfectly!!!

This will benefit everyone... the J is not for Juvenile, or were you just kidding?

The first criterion, Extraversion - Introversion defines the source and direction of energy expression for a person. The extravert has a source and direction of energy expression mainly in the external world while the introvert has a source of energy mainly in the internal world.

The second criterion, Sensing - INntuition defines the method of information perception by a person. Sensing means that a person believes mainly information he or she receives directly from the external world. Intuition means that a person believes mainly information he or she receives from the internal or imaginative world.

The third criterion, Thinking - Feeling defines how the person processes information. Thinking means that a person makes a decision mainly through logic. Feeling means that, as a rule, he or she makes a decision based on emotion.

The fourth criterion, Judging - Perceiving defines how a person implements the information he or she has processed. Judging means that a person organizes all his life events and acts strictly according to his plans. Perceiving means that he or she is inclined to improvise and seek alternatives.
