Hello. I don’t know you, but I was looking at what “Trined” posted here, and if indeed you are an “Introverted Senser”, then it would make some sense why INFP, ENFP, and ESFJ showed up in the results : they are all Introverted Sensing types.

But one good way of eliminating possible “stereotypes” is really by going back to your “core stereotype” which can be seen from what you “naturally” liked to do first of all as a young child, and then as a young teenager. You should end up finding your “Dominant” Jung Cognitive Type.

For instance, you friend Trined suggested that you might be an ISxJ. If you were an ISFJ, your dominant cognitive types would be Introverted Sensing supported by Extraverted Feeling. If you were an ISTJ, your dominant cognitive types would be Introverted Sensing supported by Extraverted Thinking. You can easily do an online search for the meaning of the different Cognitive Processes like “Introverted Sensing”.

Seeing as it is that you are often “typed” as a Feeler, maybe you are actually an organized, responsible, dependable, loyal, service-oriented, sympathetic, and thoughtful ISFJ by natural inclination. An ISFJ type is well-valued in any organization because s/he can both be a good leader and a good follower. Generally, a good team player.

Another reason why the certified MBTI test is more reliable is because of the feedback after the test has been completed. I did the test with a certified trainer and I learned so much about myself.

Hmmmmmm……I was surprised to see you delve into the MBTI stuff. You got 3 different answers eh? I have a good friend and musician who is an MBTI instructor and her advice when doing them is to go back to when you were a teenager and mark off the answers – that’s right take off all you “hats” that you wear and go ahead with the quiz. I agree quizzes are find and sometimes can be right on the money.

To me you don’t seem to be an INFP – these creatures are morbidly sensitive and live in fairyland most of the time. Maybe you are an IS type because you are very grounded and practical with a no nonsense attitude. Hmmm possibly an ISXJ type cause you like to get stuff done on time – it seems.

There are some good MBTI sites out there with quality tests that you could try out for size and hopefully you get a more accurate score. However the 4 scales of MBTI is always changing and if some body scored a ENTJ when they were younger then it’s the other end of the scales that they may work on later in life.

E going into an I learns to be introspective and a little introverted. Listens to people more etc. N going into an S gets a job and learns the day to day step by step ways of the world and becomes a practical person instead of living in the world of ideas. T going into F learns to be a little more feeling possibly and appreciates beauty within the world. The J going into P learned to become spontaneous and relaxed in life instead of focusing on schedules and deadlines they have to meet.

Have a great week and happy Stampede to you!

The important thing about online “MBTI” indicators is that they haven’t been validated like the MBTI and other Jungian-based “tests”

This isn’t an endorsement of the MBTI as published by CPP, Inc. as it is a “denouncement” of online tests that haven’t been put through the wringer.

One thing for sure, you definitely seem like an “F” type!
