Myers-Briggs personality typing

Well, stuff like this fascinates me. *shrug* Anyway, there are numerous places with the test for free online.

After taking the test and looking through descriptions of the different types, I think mine is INFP. And the more I think about it, the more it makes sense and my behavior begins to make more sense to me.
A brief quote from the page on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INFP ):

• I – Introversion preferred to extraversion: INFPs tend to be quiet and reserved. They generally prefer interacting with a few close friends rather than a wide circle of acquaintances, and they expend energy in social situations (whereas extraverts gain energy).[6]
• N – Intuition preferred to sensing: INFPs tend to be more abstract than concrete. They focus their attention on the big picture rather than the details, and on future possibilities rather than immediate realities.[7]
• F – Feeling preferred to thinking: INFPs tend to value personal considerations above objective criteria. When making decisions, they often give more weight to social implications than to logic.[8]
• P – Perception preferred to judgment: INFPs tend to withhold judgment and delay important decisions, preferring to "keep their options open" should circumstances change.[9]

(For looking at a more detailed explanation of a specific type, I recommend the second link. They do try to get you to buy something at the end, but the info they provide before that is pretty satisfactory.)



What's your personality type according to this system?

I am not into taking those tests.I used to like them years ago but not anymore.

I used to take some internet tests a lot several years back. Those were "just for fun", though, and the results were designed to be just vague enough to fit anybody. This actually seems to have reasonable backing to it.

ISFP

These things are fun thanks Quest....

It's an outdated type of test with various psychometrical problems.

Maybe so. I wouldn't know. Still, the type I got seems to fit me pretty accurately. Have you heard of the enneagram system? (My type on that is 9w1.)

Anyway, part of what got me thinking about it was this: http://www.geeksundergrace.com/gami...-we-stack-up-with-our-fictional-counterparts/
