Yeah, everybody here is an architect or a borderline mastermind. Everybody who claims otherwise is a bloody liar.

We are on the forums, a social network, is it that unrealistic to think some of us might me extroverts?

HAH HAH!

i am you asses, i rather talk to your faces than hide behind text

See that's me as well, these things tend to have a lot of catch-all wording in them.

As do horoscopes.

I mean if I really wanted to, I could sit down and make up a whole bunch of questions and make general assessments based on those questions. But that doesn't give it any intrinsic validity.

Just the fact that it fits neatly on a grid system should be the first clue that something's wrong.

The Myers-Briggs test stems from work around a century ago, and is based upon the observations of psychologists all throughout that time. Astrology is based on a bunch of bullshit.

And being based on a grid system is completely irrelevant. Of course it fits on a grid system, there's 4 traits, and two possibilities for each. The only other option is a four-dimensional graph

all the way!

The catch-all aspect of it isn't really bad, actually, if you compare to other personality test stuff that really is bullshit.  All of the descriptions will have lots of things in common, even the ones that are supposed to be really different.  They will be written such that it's impossible to fail to describe the reader in some fashion.

But have a look at some of the different archetypes in Myers-Briggs.  I guarantee that not a single one will succeed at describing you 100%.  You will disagree with some tidbits or feel like there's something missing.  But I also guarantee that there will only be a couple archetypes that do a decent job of describing you when taken as a whole.

For instance, I'm strongly INP, but very weakly F.  So architect and healer both describe me equally well.  However, those are the only two that do a really good job describing me.  There are tidbits from others that I might agree with, but that's because this all works on a spectrum.  I'm not 100% on anything, so there are small parts of me that just aren't very dominant that will be caught by bits and pieces across the archetypes.  However, when I read the pages for either ESJ type, it pretty well describes my exact opposite.  My wife, coincidentally, is an ESFJ, and she really is my exact opposite in all aspects of our personalities.

I find it interesting that INFPs have a decent presence on Bay12.  Like INTPs, they're also a very small percentage of the population.  And it's easier to understand why INTPs would be drawn here.  Not so easy for INFPs.

I read this wrong and started wondering how it would be possible for you get too sexy for a fucking shirt.

The whole "hundred years" thing doesn't help at all. A hundred years ago girls used their lips to smooth out brushes for radioactive paint.

It's "What Pokemon are you" with more window dressing.

If you really must continue, why not find yourself on this list instead?

About a hundred years ago, Einstein was setting the foundations for his theory of relativity. Don't try saying that people a hundred years ago didn't know anything. Radioactive paint is completely irrelevant.

Have you heard of Carl Jung?

Also, this is used professionally by therapists, and business management.  I had to study this thing on three separate occassions in college  -- once in a psychology class, once briefly in a class on buddhism, and again in a project management class.  I know the types of all of the managers in my office, because they had to take a more sophisticated version of the test as part of their management training and team building exercises.  All except two of them are ESTJ's

It turns out I'm INTJ too. I blame it on DF.

EDIT: ENTJ, after actually taking the damn test.

You know I fail to see where your comming from with this. It is a test designed to find out how far along you are in four specific personality traits. These specific traits exist over a spectrum with opposed values at either end. By answering these questions, it can be calculated how far along this spectrum you are. Then from observation of people with common values, we can figure out how these values interact and make a guess as to how a specific person might act. Yes, it is a catch all, and yes, it dosn't take everything into account. Being male or female dosn't take a lot into account, such as your prefered colour, but I can still seperate people by gender.

If you wanted to fight against the validity of this test, you should be pointing out that what people think they are, and what people realy are, are not always the same thing.
