Would you like to learn a little more about yourself and your fellow posters on Free Republic? If so, you might enjoy this Freeper Research Project.
It began on another thread where people were testing themselves for “nerdiness”. Great fun was had by all.
Along the way, Freeper patton posted a link to the Jung personality test. What an adventure! I took the test for the first time and found out I am an INFJ (I=44, N=75, F=25, J=25).
Because we were sharing the results of our tests on that thread, I was pleasantly surprised to discover three other Freepers with the same personality type. And, naturally, being curious – some of us went to yet another link to find out what the code means and what famous people are INFJs:
The strange part is that INFJ’s are the smallest in the general population, but among those posting on the thread, INFJs were in the majority. Does that mean that INFJ’s are drawn to Free Republic or to those kinds of tests, or are more willing to discuss such things?
At any rate, it is a delightful musing about this forum, the posters we are drawn to (or against): does the Jung personality test have anything useful to say to us?
If you are interested or perhaps would just like to have some fun, take the test and check out the results. And if you’re willing, post your results here on this thread so that we can all “compare notes”.
The results so far:
INFJ: Indy Pendance, Knitting a Conundrum, Grey-whiskers, Alamo-Girl INTJ: John O (67,62,25,67), hosepipe (11,50,19,56), Cyclopean Squid (44,100,62,56) INTP: marron ENFJ: .30Carbine (1,50,75,22) , phantomworker (39,57,40,12)
I was all set to take the freepin' thing over and cheat...
ISTJ here.I blew through the test in less than two minutes with no hesitation.
Your Type is

Another person with "E" at 1%--note that, AG!
I was wondering if I was the only one, then I saw your post....I was developing a complex there for a minute.
ENFJ represent.
After reading the descriptions, I think you are right. I guess the "Introverted Intuitive Feeling" part made me sound all touchy-feely-weepy, a canditate for Oprah's audience.
ENFJ, but a really mean one.
My Type is

Neat. I'm "INTJ". 33, 12, 25, 56.
Field Marshall rational? I can live with that. Apparently I'm keeping company with General George C. Marshall, Alan Greenspan, Napoleon, Maggie Thatcher and Bill Gates etc...
ENFP here.
39 19 31 17
I knew it!
I took it again and came out with ENFP = 42 62 62 8. I think it means that a low score on any dimension means it is not dominant. I must be almost equal P and J, whatever that means. It could mean being flexible, to put a positive spin on it.
INTJ - 22 25 25 44

But my co-workers probably wish I was an STFU.
Actually, what I found is that varying only a couple of answers throws the results into another category altogether. I would be curious how they weight certain answers.
I noticed that some questions were very similar to others, and yet I found myself going one way on one, and the opposite on the other, the distinction being rather subtle. But changing one or the other, apparently equivalent questions, to make both answers agree, was enough to push me into another column.
Interesting.
What made some of the questions difficult to answer for me, and probably for a lot of people, is that under some circumstances I would go one way, and in others, the other. And then there is the fact that when I was younger, I would have gone one way, but over time I have come to lean the other. Or that in my natural self I lean one way but in my actual behavior I go the other. So which way should I answer, how I feel, or how I behave? Switching from one to the other gives slightly different results that give rather large differences in scoring.
LOL!
