Freeper Research Project: Freeper personality tests

Jung Personality Test ^ | February 23, 2006 | Alamo-Girl

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:

Type Logic

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)

Put stars by Piers Anthony too. I admit to only having read one of his books, Firefly. It was dreadful. One of the worst books I have ever had the displeasure of reading.

Introverted Thinking is frequently the focus of the spiritual quest of ENFJs. David's lengthiest psalm, 119, pays it homage. "Law," "precept," "commandment," "statute:" these essences of inner thinking are the mysteries of Deity for which this great Feeler's soul searched.
Famous ENFJs:

David, King of Israel
U.S. Presidents:
Abraham Lincoln
Ronald Reagan

William Cullen Bryant, poet
Abraham Maslow, psychologist and proponent of self-actualization
Ross Perot
Sean Connery
Elizabeth Dole
Francois Mitterand

INTJ (22, 62, 75, 22) -- Boy did this nail me to a "T", but it also explains why I have some of the heros that I do: Thomas Jefferson, Ayn Rand, John Kennedy, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ulysses S. Grant, Stephen Hawking

My desk at work was piled four stacks high and my workbenches at home are covered with "good stuff yet to be used", but my toolboxes are perfectly ordered and segregated by tool type and size.

I always know where things are on the desk and benches as long as no one else touches anything.

[SAJ]

Oh, speaking as an author, I wouldn't mind at all cashing Anthony's royalty cheques, heh heh heh...

;^)

[HitmanLV]

I'm INTJ (11%, 25%, 62%, 22%).

[MarxSux]

Another INFJ: 100 (really), 62, 50, 33.
It sucks to be an INFJ.

[livius]

ENTJ. My results were very close to yours. I'm sure you're a wonderful person, too!

[.30Carbine]

...King David, too!

(How did they do that?!)

[Tennessee_Bob]

I'm an INTJ - 78 12 12 44. According to the type page, so was Gandalf the Grey, and Professor Moriarty...hmmm. I wonder if I should call security myself.

[andyandval]

ENTJ here.

[Paved Paradise]

Don't know if it matters, but I took the test and I'm an ENFJ (44, 38, 52, 67). I honestly don't believe these things much because the questions aren't always relative and since there's only yes/no - you have to pick one and it's not always accurate.

I do know I'm expressive and outgoing though so I didn't need a test to show that.

The test question you refer to kept me stumped for quite a while. I really didn't want to answer that my desk was cluttered, but the evidence was incontrovertible!

Somewhere along the way I read that Myers and Briggs were onto something. The scores they registered for personality types were found to be correlated with levels of certain neurotransmitters. I forget the details. My be bogus for all I know.

[Sensei Ern]

My current score is: ENTJ

Extroverted Intuitive Thinking Judging
Strength of the preferences %
56 25 25 67

You are:
moderately expressed extrovert
moderately expressed intuitive personality
moderately expressed thinking personality
distinctively expressed judging personality


This is dramatically different from 15 years ago...before I realized that apathy was the right attitude for me.

Back then, I scored: ISTJ
Strength of the preferences %
78 1 50 11

You are:
very expressed introvert
slightly expressed sensing personality
moderately expressed thinking personality
slightly expressed judging personality

When I cared what people thought about me, I was this hypersensitive self-evaluator who felt that if I did the right things, no one could judge me. And, because I felt I held a strict adhearence to what I thought was the right way, I felt I was in a place to judge others and rate them according to my standard.

Somewhere along the line, I realized I could not hodl to my own standard, and that people will judge you no matter what, I became apathetic. I no longer care what people think about me. I still have standards, but I know i will sometimes fail miserably. Instead of judging myself, I just determine to try again and do better.

I found that when I no longer cared about people judging me, and I no onger judged myself, I could examine a person's situation and determine a plan to aid them in that situation. Yet, I still do not consider their feelings when determining my plan of action. That can be a fault, but, eh.

Wow, that is a lot of analysis. My brain hurts.
