I'm so leery of these things ever since that one that was run by russia and captured all this personal info on unsuspecting people...

I’ve taken these multiple times through various organizations. It’s easy to figure out how your answers will peg you.

Come at me, Russia!

INTJs know what they know, and perhaps still more importantly, they know what they don't know.

Wow, how complimentary!

INTJs apply (often ruthlessly) the criterion "Does it work?" to everything from their own research efforts to the prevailing social norms. This in turn produces an unusual independence of mind, freeing them from the constraints of authority, convention, or sentiment for its own sake.

Oof, they make it sound easy. It isn't, at all.

...they possess the unusual trait combination of imagination and reliability.

Another compliment I'd like to live up to.

Oh my goodness, Oakley.

There is absolutely no personal information.

Bunny, it's just for fun. I'm so sorry I even posted this.

Thanks for posting, have taken different versions over the years, took it again tonight, I seem to always get the same results, :-)

"make up just 2% of the population, and women with this personality type are especially rare, forming only 0.8%."

Gosh, don't be! Any kind of "network" activity opens us up to info gathering. It's what we have to live with if we want to connect outside of our little circles. My interests don't really align with people I see regularly. I know ONE person interested in food, but she doesn't explore cuisines or cookbooks like I do because her family won't eat them. My love of interior design and pushing limits is shared by family members I have to travel 12 hours to see. To bring novelty and excitement, I turn to the internet, where all of our data is being examined. Fine. I'll share it, in exchange for the exchange of ideas.

I'm posting from a particular place in life. I've reconnected with two people, who meant/mean a lot to me, that I used to work with in a very dull job! All of us had so much fun! I haven't thought about the crazy 20's in a long time. It's been a positive, for everyday life, because I'm motivated to tackle some jobs that I would have loved to do back then. Making a dwelling more of a home. Engaging with my neighbors. You know, putting yourself out there. This little quiz was for fun, but also identified some things that I'd struggled to change. I'm perfectly happy with my small circle. Some have even realized that whole "misunderstood" area of my personality.

It's a facile examination, but one that makes you appreciate some qualities that are easily recognizable. I read it and thought, I don't have to try to not be myself. The people in my life already know those things.

ENTJ today, just on the edge for J. ENTP, with the P on the edge was my score almost 30 years ago.

I've taken this test many times, and I always get ENTP, which is "Inventor". It works for me, and I've encouraged others to take the test. I first took it in a book called "Please Understand Me" which described how many people are unaware that others have different personalities from their own.

The opposite of ENTP is the accountant (ISFJ), which probably explains why I have so many problems relating to accountants, or at least explains why I have no interest in being an accountant. According to what I have read, you are supposed to find a mate who has the complimentary personality to yours, but I would never want to marry an accountant.

Apparently I am an infj. I really have no idea. I don't feel like a judgemental person. Still it was interesting to do. I came out rather milquetoast on the whole which I suppose is true of me anyway.

INFJ

Introvert(25%) iNtuitive(16%) Feeling(9%) Judging(28%)

• You have moderate preference of Introversion over Extraversion (25%)
• You have slight preference of Intuition over Sensing (16%)
• You have slight preference of Feeling over Thinking (9%)
• You have moderate preference of Judging over Perceiving (28%)

INFP here, with the Introvert strong, and the other three characteristics "slight" .. all about 17%.

I've taken the similar test before, and have received the same INFP results.

https://www.bbb.org/article/news-releases/16992-scam-alert-that-facebook-quiz-might-be-a-big-data-company-mining-your-personal-information

In light of the recent revelation that Cambridge Analytica allegedly mined personal information from more than 50 million Facebook users, the Better Business Bureau is again reminding consumers that what they share online can be used for illegal or unethical reasons.

Social media quizzes – especially popular on Facebook – seem innocent enough. But taking the quiz might mean you are giving away more about yourself than you originally thought, and may extend to your Friends, as well.

These quizzes ask seemingly silly or useless questions, but hackers can use that information to penetrate your social accounts and gain access to your personal information or the information of your friends and family.

That's a Meyers Briggs test and they have been around for decades. Somewhat out of favor right now but still imo, accurate. There are many tests available online. My favorite geeky mbti site is Socionics. I'm an infj

Last time I took the long test I was ESFJ. While I don't feel too much like a people-oriented accountant, I do like numbers, a lot. I'm more on the cusp of E/I.

yeonassky, I was a little troubled about the Judging aspect too. But as I understand it, it fits me: "Judging Outer World Orientation, like to plan their work and work their plan. They order and anticipate what is going on in the outside world."

I was just talking to someone about taking the real test years ago with a psychologist. I've done the online ones before, and IMO, there's a kind of pop psychology aspect to them. That's not a bad thing, tho.

Taking those 'quizzes' on FB is definitely a way to get info from your FB account. I don't think a website is made for the same sort of data mining, but the one linked above shows 'not secure' on my browser.

This one appears secure:

Introvert. Yep.

INFJ

(usually I'm an INFP. I got INFJ second time, out of maybe ten times I took that/similar test. I guess that depends on a day lol. )

What personal information would they get from FB? The only thing personal I gave is my real name, so what? Don't answer, let's keep this topic light, okay? Just go with the flow Annie, or SOB.

I'm an ISFJ. It was pretty spot on. I'm going to take one of the other quizzes. kind of fun!

If I don't return come look for me in Russia!

I found most of the questions difficult to answer. I might answer one way in one situation and a different way in another situation.

(went to read about it some more..they sing such high praise to INFJ, I'm okay with it)))

INTJ.

Introvert(22%) iNtuitive(25%) Thinking(78%) Judging(66%)

I've consistently landed as INTJ since I first took the test as a teenager almost 40 years ago. Three INTJs so far on this thread -- perhaps it's all of our searching for data and seeking of reason that brings us to GW in the first place!

Not sure if everyone understands that our attention and our personal info is worth money to social media platforms, advertisers and other companies because data is bought & sold.

This is from 2015, so info may not be quite up to date but you can get the gist:

This one's from 2017:

Pay attention. These "quizzes" are not just a bit of harmless fun. Why would you not want to know the truth about such things? Nobody is trying to cause embarrassment here, but everyone has the right to know what these sort of seemingly innocent games are mining, as well as the potential for more serious privacy breaches.

INTJ here also.

ENTJ.

I can't remember fully what I am but I do know that I am always a strong introvert. I was always called shy because I like being by myself but the first time I took this test and was classed as an "I" for introvert and then researched that term which I had never heard, I was "yes" that is what I am. I'm not shy, I'm an introvert and there is such a huge difference and it's too bad that others don't value that difference.

I just went for a 4 1/2 hour hike with 6 friends and chatted along with everyone else, leading or following a conversation, and stopping to offer to take a photo for some tourists but at the end, I was ready to be myself for a couple of hours. I have to recharge for the neighbourhood barbecue tonight.

I'm grateful that others have reminded me to be careful about what info I give out and where.......I may still take the test but from a secure site...or maybe not....but thanks for the info.

I don't take any quizzes from FB, but I looked at this page, and I also noted I didn't absolutely have to give them any social account info or email addresses. Or my mother's maiden name - for which my bank now has an ENTIRELY different password...

You can be hacked by simply clicking a link.

I was just reading this morning about a number of websites that were a means to hack into people's cloud accounts. I believe now they're saying Android systems may have been compromised as well.

Here's 1 report - not the same one I read...

https://cnnews9.com/2019/09/02/google-says-hackers-have-been-able-to-access-your-iphone-data-for-years-digital-trends/

Taken this this test multiple times, including the lengthy test. My result is usually INFP, but occasionally will come out INFJ.
