Ok, so I am a writer by trade... just like the test said I should be. These tests are simplistic, but they are kind of fun (outside the workplace). Plus, I like her hair...

#introvertorextrovert @JoScho

I don‘t spend a whole lot of time thinking about personality types these days (I feel like it‘s not much more relevant than astrological signs) BUT I love a good quiz. I feel like I scored near the middle of every single category except the I/E which was noticeably further toward the I. The description didn‘t feel all that accurate either. Ah well!

batsy I feel like it helps to look at it like astrology 7y
batsy Sorry, sent before I finished! To clarify, for every answer there's so many variables that have to be overlooked... 7y

#introvertorextrovert
Have to say it was a bit eerie how accurate this is! I did take a similar test several years ago for a uni course, but couldn‘t remember what the results were. Re-taking the test now, when the results came through, it triggered my memory, and I realized I haven‘t changed over the years. I‘m very bubbly and outgoing, but truly an introvert who occasionally likes to extrovert. These tests always fascinate me!

catebutler If you‘d like to give the test a try, here‘s the link: https://www.16personalities.com/ (edited) 7y
JoScho I am exactly the same. I don‘t think any of my work people would consider me an introvert but oh I am. 7y
catebutler @JoScho I was actually mentioning that to my BF, we both took the test today, and I was commenting that so many would see me as an extrovert because of my nature, but it wears me out! I really really need my own time! It‘s so nice to find others like me! 😊👋🏼 7y
SomedayAlmost I consider myself a loud introvert. 😃 7y
catebutler @SomedayAlmost Ha, I love that!! I‘ll have to remember this for future reference!! 👍🏼 7y

This test classified me as a Defender or ISFJ-A, and the introvert aspect is very clear. Other than the introvert/extrovert, my S/N and F/T scores are much closer to 50%, with 64% for J/P being the next highest. Overall, I found this to be a pretty accurate description. I especially agree with the strategy of confident individualism.

Took it again. Got INTJ. I have taken this test before and vacillate between ISTJ and INTJ, so it isn‘t surprising. I need them to create a new INSTJ category for me!

Is this avatar meant to be Mark Twain? Edgar Allan Poe?

Here is the link to the test if you‘d like to have a go yourself. https://www.16personalities.com/

8little_paws I always get strong I and J at the end, but I'm also always right on the middle for the two center levels so I tend to flip around a lot 7y

I‘m ISTJ, a Logistician. I first did Myers-Briggs about twenty years ago, and I‘ve always been very strongly this type. I‘m an accountant so at least I‘m in the right job!

squirrelbrain How funny @TrishB! Have you ever done a Belbin quiz to see where you fit within a team? It would be interesting to see if you came out the same on there - I‘m a very strong ‘completer/finisher‘ which means I like dotting the ‘i‘s and crossing the ‘t‘s, but I‘m a rubbish delegator and I worry too much - so true! 7y

INFPs to communicate deeply with others, easily speaking in metaphors and parables, and understanding and creating symbols to share their ideas. The strength of this intuitive communication style lends itself well to creative works, and it comes as no surprise that many famous INFPs are poets, writers and actors. Understanding themselves and their place in the world is important to INFPs.

I took the personality test, then made the hubby take it as well. Mines not a shocker, (99% introverted is not a surprise) but the Hubbys certainly was! I‘m a Logician that values truth above all & hubs is a Defender, That in itself doesn‘t surprise me, he‘s always looking out for other people, it‘s the 65% introverted that‘s a shocker. I love how it breaks it all down for you afterwards. #16personalitiestest

Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceiving This is the most accurate personality test I‘ve ever taken, a little eerie actually. I think I exhaust myself trying to be more extroverted than I am. @JoScho #INFP #introvertorextrovert https://www.16personalities.com. 📚 Many of my favorite authors are INFP: Orwell, Shakespeare, Kafka, Poe, Rowling & more!
