Someone else suggested that it would be interesting to know the personality types of other posters here on TBP. I agree and if you would not mind participating, go here to take the 72 question test. Answers are yes/no. If you are so inclined, post your results below.
@Davos, I know your post is sincere but as stated, that is some funny shit! If I was not married, I’d be much more like you! My wife still needs much more social interaction than I. Unfortunately, that “requires” me to need more social interaction if I want to live a peaceful life.

Interesting…makes you go hmmm.
Myers Briggs is okay, imho, but if you really want to understand personality, there are some other systems I prefer. The Enneagram is my favorite.
Eddie
Welcome back.
Now we need AWD to come back.
Maybe if I post 50 pictures of disgustingly obese Boomers.
I_S:
Mrs. Davos is worse than I am. The root of her name is “Warlike”.
Our kids are total outgoing extroverts. I’d have home-schooled one but he loves social interaction.
Hocodanode!
PS We live on a mountain in the national forest, as if all the other shit isn’t enough.
I was reading the comments regarding the shooting and in the past 2 weeks doug casey mentioned this personality test too so this morning I became interested enough and searched for an onine test and took it as well as my wife. (same one linked in the post)
I am an INTJ (67%, 62%, 75%, 44%) and my wife is an ISFJ (44%, 38%, 12%, 11%).
I do have to say the descriptions are pretty spot on for each of us. Didn’t do the “marriage test” but I am kinda interested to see how things supposedly align (definitely not worth $6, so f’ it)
Funny how INTJ’s are supposed to make up like 1-4% of the population but I bet damn near 80% of the people who post/comment on this site are INTJ’s (and probably a few INTP’s). The internet really has allowed similar thinking people to congregate with one another and essentially create phyles.
Debating seems to be a strong characteristic, having a bunch of INTJ’s congregating together must be part of the reason the shit flies pretty well here.

Fuck! That is actually a dream of mine! At the very least, I’d like to be surrounded on three sides by national park or govt land.
I_S
Birds of a feather blog together.
I_S, It is great in the summer, the winters can be a little rough for a Southern belle, but for a crusty New Yorker I’m great with it. We have a soapstone stove, if I could do it again we’d have an earth rammed home.
I took the test and it basically confirmed I’m a loser destined to continued hand jobs behind a dumpster from desperate crack whores. Merry Xmas.
Eddie:
I knew you’d be back. Predictable.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’d like to give a big SALUTE to Indentured Servant for posting this. It was exactly what I needed to take my mind off, however briefly, the shit that went on in Connecticut and the world in general.
I’ve read every comment closely and enjoyed all of them. The comments, graphs, charts, photos, etc that people posted were amazing and showed the depth and breadth of intelligence and creativity of the folks on this blog. Admin managed to squeeze in a pic of Clint Eastwood, and Stucky wins imho with posting the funniest example of the most stupid question on a psychological profile exam, “Which fairy tale do you prefer; Snow White or Peter Pan?”
Maybe we need a day or two more of this. I know I wouldn’t mind. Jump in you introverts out there. The water’s fine.
INTJ
Introvert(11%) iNtuitive(12%) iNtuitive Thinking(38%) Judging(67%)
You have slight preference of Introversion over Extraversion (11%)
You have slight preference of Intuition over Sensing (12%)
You have moderate preference of Thinking over Feeling (38%)
You have distinctive preference of Judging over Perceiving (67%)
I’ve taken this test many times since the 8th grade. I always score INTJ, the only thing that varies is how severe the percentages are, which I think is more an indication of my current life situation than of my actual personality type.
PS: AWD is gone again?

Great…I’m a robber Barron banker asshole. Fuck.
The questions on the test are so broad in their scope they become meaningless.
For instance:
You are almost never late for your appointments
Well, crap, why be on time for a doctors, or dentist appt, when they ALWAYS make you wait past your appointment time? I would like to be on time but all too often I was made to wait. WITF. Do the people that wrote this psyche exam take this into consideration.
Yes, I am usually on time, but these asses make me not want to be on time.
Yes or no??
You like to be engaged in an active and fast-paced job
YES NO
Jeebus on a crutch.
WTH does that mean? No, I want to be a CEO that has a three martini lunch and be Dilberts boss, never exercise, while the media portrays me, because I have money, as some active fast paced dickhead that cheats on his wife as a good and moral person that exercises [takes viagra] on a regular basis or or I want to be a ditch digger working for shit wages sweating his ass off digging a sewer trench because I enjoy working outdoors for my health.
INTJ. 95% Introvert, 95%!! Knew I was a loner but…daaang! Hmmmm…guess I’ll find solace in this quote, “Extroverts are people who get what they need by swapping information and emotional energy. Introverts are people who are self-sustaining and get their energy from within.”
You feel involved when watching TV soaps
Good lord. TV soaps? I dont watch them at all. How can I answer such a stupid question? There is no correct answer. Soaps suck. I dont watch them and so I cant feel involved. What fucking introvert does? And why would an extrovert, busy with actual social functions, watch that shit?
Why do people think that some self analyzing bunch of nerds are the ones that should classify them? And why do people take this shit test and then classify themselves according to anothers rules?
Are you people nuts? Because the writers of this test, in my opinion, have spent far too much time mental masturbating that actually going out into the real world and digging a ditch or running a company.
Really, intellectuals, as they like to see themselves, are morons viewing reality thru a book written by yet another moron viewing reality from a book they read.
I:56%, S:50%, J:50%, T:12%. Not so bad, I think. Thanks for posting this.
Stucky says: “AMAZINGLY, looking through the other scores, I “match up” best with ……..SAH. Who-da thunk it?”. While SAH explains her “F” on her female hormones. Hmmm. Maybe it’s the moobs, Stuck.

Oh Hell…………..I don’t fit in anywhere ever and neither does OF.
But hey kids no matter what you rated or what you scored you are still so fucking doomed it isn’t funny. Almost every one here regardless of personality is a GLDT. (Government Listed Domestic Terrorist). See you in FEMA Camp. If they don’t shoot you first.
Akanon:
Bill is a non-conformist who feels non-conformists are too conformist.
IS-Here in Alaska, surrounded by gov’t land may be OK, but not National Park. That’s what they call an “in-holder”, private property before the park was established. Count on your “in-holding” being condemned and appropriated by the NPS. I worked on some of these cases-trust me when I say a National Park is not a good neighbor-at least not in AK.
Colma-That is a profound observation about KB-Duly noted.

Really? Because I dont let some Freudian BS artist define me I am a non conformist?
I thought INTJs were beyond that.
Colma-That is a profound observation about KB-Duly noted. -AKA
If I put a screwdriver in your hand and pointed you to a vehicle that needs repaiir you would prove my theory that INTJs are introverted self absorbed morons that cannot turn A screwdriver and are about as useful as a snowball in hell
Now, dumbass, get back to your drunken frozen desert of light diminished inbred nanucks.
KB-Lighten the fuck up -AKA
I am a INTJ I dont do authority.
Jeebus on a moped, I dont do what you say I should.
..SAH. Who-da thunk it?”. While SAH explains her “F” on her female hormones. Hmmm. Maybe it’s the moobs, Stuck. -AKA
OK that is a good one =)
KB-Me thinkst thou doth protest too much. Surely (?) you are creative enough to answer hypothetical questions that don’t exactly match your personal experience?
I’ll give an analogy-a job interview. Having been on both sides of the interview process more than a few times, I have come to one metaphysical certitude: A partial (or hypothetical or contrived) answer is far better than no answer at all. E.g. Question: “Please describe your experience with such & such”. Obviously if you have relevant experience w/ such & such, you so explain. Your response is rated, probably decent to excellent, depending on relevance and how well it conforms to the expectations of the interview panel.
If you have no experience w/ such & such, you have 3 options: Option 1 (KB’s option, I gather) “I don’t know shit about such & such. And that’s all I have to say about the subject” (w/ credits to Forest Gump) Errr, wrong answer-you get 0 points. Maybe 1 point for honesty, if I’m being charitable. Option 2: “I don’t have any direct experience w/ such & such, but I have experience w/ so &so, which is similar, and here is how I dealt w/ it, and why it is relevant.” OK, probably not 100%, but major partial credit, up to nearly full score. Option 3: “I don’t have any direct experience w/ such & such, but if I encountered this situation, here is how I would handle it”. Hypothetical experience, much better than nothing, significant partial credit.
You young folks looking for work might want to pay attention-the above may seem obvious, but I’ve interviewed many folks who I personally knew had related but not precise experience, and failed to get jobs or promotions because they didn’t extrapolate during the interview. In a gov’t organization, the interview process is quite structured, and if you don’t say it, it doesn’t count. In private sector, there is a bit more flexibility, but if the interviewer doesn’t know your background, you cannot expect them to “infer” what you do not say. I share the above w/ folks I want to see succeed in my organization.
KB-Me thinkst thou doth protest too much. Surely (?) you are creative enough to answer hypothetical questions that don’t exactly match your personal experience? -AKA
Welll, shit, AKA,what kind of INTJ would I be if I agreed with you?
Hypothetical questions are just that. Why would I answer them? Ask me a REAL question not some dreamed up crap that denies reality.
KB-Touche. Fuck me, I may need to learn some internet/photobucket skills. I wanted to attach the “Support Anarchy-Don’t tell me what to do” graffiti pic. I have it saved, but cannot access it.
As a matter of fact, I do know which end of a screwdriver to hold onto, and am relatively mechanically inclined (although not electronically so). Been fixing broken shit since I was a youngsterso that dog won’t hunt. However, as we approach the winter solstice, I confess to being solar deprived. I am down to less than 4 hours/day of sunlight, and assuming the Mayan new year isn’t the end of the hunt, I am looking forward to increasing daylight in a week or so. Meanwhile, I will maintain my weekend drunk. And keep a sharp eye peeled for horny Eskimos. Stay thirsty, my friend.
I have come to one metaphysical certitude: A partial (or hypothetical or contrived) answer is far better than no answer at all -AKA
Listen closely, I dont do hypotheses. And I cannot answer senseless questions that do not apply to me.
The mayan calendat is based on precession, A 26k year cycle AKA
The world will not end
KB: ” The mayan calendat is based on precession, A 26k year cycle AKA
The world will not end” Hope you are right-I hate to give all this up for a 2,000+ year old calendar. But I’ll tip my glass tonight, just in case.
Salud AKA, you may wake up with a hangover but you will wake up and face bizarro world for a while longer.

KB: “Listen closely, I dont do hypotheses. And I cannot answer senseless questions that do not apply to me.” Sounds like someone is pretty self-absorbed. If it’s not about him, he won’t play.
Now let’s think about this a second. Let’s assume (for the sake of argument) that classifying personality types has some value. You want to develop a practical, convenient test to so classify. You come up with a series of questions. Will every question exactly match every possible candidate’s personal experience? Hell no. If the questions have any validity, they are going to cross experience lines. So what are the test takers to do when they encounter questions beyond their experience? They either improvise, or refuse to answer. Either way, we learn a bit about their personality. Seems we have a “Type A”, right SSS?

Have you asked those questions?

Not at all. YOU havent asked questions pertinent to my physical experience, which, btw, you have not done. =)
So fuck you, you dont know how to fix or fly, for instance, an aircraft, so you are not able to deem me anything, archairer.=0
CAPICE?
To me you are the nut.
I’ve taken this one before, at my old job we took it as part of the yearly Group think exercise. Here’s the latest result. ENTP.

I always seem to hit high on the Intuition thing.

You mean what is a college student to do when some ass [like me] refuses to have his experience questioned by some dickweed who has never and, likely, will never experience what I have.
