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)
eNFp) checking in here. It actually describes me to a tee.
marron ran into the same, mewzilla, and took it several times. He went with the one that came up twice. LOL!
And I'm not a wishy-washy, shades-of-grey kinda gal. Oh, well. No gold star for me :(
You pinged me for that? You @#$%!
just kidding :P
LOLOLOL!
I read the descriptions and it does make sense. Actually, yesterday I was walking on campus (I'm studying nursing right now) and was acutely aware of my introvertedness. I just didn't want anyone around. All I could think was I wanted to go home, be alone and read. eekks! I've grown into an anti-social home-body. I enjoy a good party but I'd almost always rather be home with only my nearest and dearest....or alone. It's funny that I was actually thinking about this yesterday though...and alas it is confiremed today by this test!
Your Nerdiness Quotient is shared by : Jeanne d'Arc, William Wallace, Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan, and Dean Martin.
I imagine you're right. The numbers might change by a point or 2... I mean that one letter (F) I have only 1 point in might change, but the others look pretty solid. I should probably read the ISTJ description too just to be on the safe side LOL.
Took the test at Bell Labs years ago .
ENTJ make great managers of nerds.
oops! Wrong test.
INTJ
Funny, I was just telling someone this morning that I was an INTJ. They didn't know what I was talking about.
My guess is that they would be both I and E, and would tend to be SFP. I realize that that fits some freepers too, but it is just my guess.
Apparently I am an INTP.
As many have noted, it's pretty spooky to see yourself in the accompanying description. The INTJ is me, to a T.
Add me. I'm a screamin' ENTJ.
My sister's more specified results told her very detailed things about her uniqueness, while the test we've all taken speaks in general terms about those of us that fall into the lettered compartments.
For instance, my "E" is dominant by 1%, yet it still sorts me into the "ENFJ" group; my theory is that I would be more alike to another who scores "I" by 1% than I would be to any other "E" (unless their % of preference/dominance were equally low). Also, because the "E"/"I" sorter determines the manifestation of all the other 3 lettered compartments, I think it very significant that one would score 50% dominance there vs. my score of 1%.
What say you, AG?
