s/o MBTI

[Perry]

I'm wondering which of the individual MBTI traits are most common among our community of homeschoolers.

 

Vote for the 4 that describe you.

 

Just to clarify-

You should pick one from each pair:

E or I

S or N

F or T

J or P

 

 

And it should be based on the results of a test, like the one Tap, tap, tap posted below.

INTJ today. I tend to flip around a bit depending on how questions are asked.

 

Here is a link for anyone who doesn't know what they are.

 

 

There are several free online ones, I just know that this one doesn't let you get to the end and then ask for an email addy to get your results.

I got "ISFJ" - still trying to figure out what that means!

I don't think I really fit any of it perfectly, though.....

[Carol in Cal.]

INFJ, and I don't know how much this always holds up.

[Oney Jones]

Your Type is

• distinctively expressed feeling personality
  
• moderately expressed judging personality

It might be interesting to think of how certain educational approaches attract certain kinds of people.

I marked "I" even though I usually fall right in the middle of the spectrum sometimes on the E side but usually on the I side. I always test NFP, but the description just isn't really me *at *all. I often wonder if I have a hard time answering how I am as opposed to how I think I am/want to be? I dunno.

[ereks mom]

Depending on my mood and how the questions are asked (and my interpretation, because I tend to be one who reads between the lines--typical NF trait), I sometimes get ISFJ.

 

Today's results:

 

Introverted 44%

INtuitive 38%

Feeling 12%

Judging 22%

I'm a strong I, T, and J. I started out as a moderate S and it has slowly moved closer to N, and I believe that has been a result of my work.

[Meriwether]

You enjoy being at the center of events in which

other people are directly involved

 

 

Here's the thing with questions like this. I don't really want to be involved, but if I am, I want to be in charge (the whole if you want something done right....) So how do I answer this? I was pretty moderate in all four categories, because I waffled on these kinds of questions.

distinctively expressed thinking personality

I'm ENTP. Have tested many times and have always been ENTP. Interesting, though...my "E" tendencies are much less strong since I've been working from home that what they used to be. I've noticed it in my daily life. I much prefer solitude to groups, even though I'm not uncomfortable and can function well in a group setting.

 

On a different note, the whole eHarmony matching is based on MBTI. A good friend of mine with a Master's in I/O Psychology worked for the consulting firm that developed the test when eHarmony first came out. She actually worked on the project. I can say with certainty from personal experience that the personality matching works well if people answer honestly. Doesn't necessarily mean a love connection, though. Sigh.

INTJ. The first time I took it, I got a 100 on "Introverted," and the second time I got an 89, so I guess I'm coming out of my shell! Then I had a 62 for Intuitive, 25 for Thinking, and a 67 for Judging. That was kind of fun!

[Mrs Mungo]

This is a pretty simple assessment.

I am not surprised that there are more Is than Es. I have friends with kids in PS and they love being on the PTA, running committees and interacting with the teachers and other parents each afternoon. That is my worst nightmare! :eek:

I think a PhD candidate could work a dissertation around the unique make-up of this board.

Ahh...I fill that in other ways-church, political party activities, military groups, etc.

[bluemongoose]

I got ESFP.

 

I am only selectively E though. I dont like being the center of attention, dont like big parties, and I dont like being the new person. I love being around a few people who I know really well, and hate being alone! I rarely need alone time (alone time is when I am mad and I am trying to cool down:D)

 

The SFP part are pretty much right on.

 

The career recs that it gave me was advertising, pre/school early childhood ed and acting. I was a preschool teacher and a nanny before a mom, so it fits there, but there is no way you could get me to advertise something and I am not a good actor :lol:.

 

It also said ESFPs like to talk a lot...I fit that to a T!

[joannqn]

I'm ENFP, and am always an ENFP.

[musicmommy]

INTJ here, but on each of them, I'm only slightly inclined to that side. I've never done the test and gotten anything else, but it's always just slightly.

[KidsHappen]

Here is a list that shows the frequnecy of the various types. I got if from remundamom a while back: http://www.capt.org/mbti-assessment/estimated-frequencies.htm

[Heidi @ Mt Hope]

Very interesting that we are heavy on INJs, and that Thinking and Feeling are fairly even.

 

I'm an ISFJ. In the minority S...

[kiana]

I always score INP, and about half and half F/T.

Being at the center of events w/ people = extroversion (if you *like* it)--this question is talking about *being* there, not *planning.* Think going to concerts, baby showers, parties. Those are PEOPLE events, w/ all the chaos of talking, laughing, noise.

 

Being "in charge" is not even nec. a people-oriented thing. I don't think that has anything to do w/ the question you're quoting. :001_smile:

:iagree:

I do have a very good E hs friend, but most hsers I know are Is. I know a lot of people in my age group who were hsed, and the ones who really disliked it and are now sending their own dc to ps are all Es.

[daffodil]

I'm INFP.

[myfunnybunch]

I always score INFP, and have for years.
