I have to go do some homework and de-stress.

ESFP
Very weak/borderline on the E and P
Moderate on the S and F
I'm fairly adaptable.
Many of my answers vary according to situations - I would have been able to give better answers if each had a scale from 1-10.

I do like being and working alone but not all the time. I don't think I'd like a job where I had to work from home without contact from coworkers, even though I do like quieter days. And I am involved with several different groups (runners, space geeks - I'm well known among the space geeks and that means a lot to me). And I don't feel happy if I sit inside all day - I feel better getting outside and chatting with an occasional passersby (especially if he or she is walking a doggie).

My answers would vary on a daily basis and, like harpy said, according to situations

That's a perfect answer in the context of what Cassie's been saying!

Hmm. Took the test and got ISTj- The Pragmatist

At least we're not taken with flights of fancy.

Scorpio - Cancer. Looks about right.

It IS exactly right <3

Oh, I forgot to mention, based on countless tests I have taken (this one included) i always turn out to be an INTP personality type which is explained:

These two paragraphs from the first link pretty much have me spot on (why I save the link so many months ago):

Okay, done editing now.

STRENGTHS
Inclined to focus on the inner world of thoughts and ideas, ISTJs often prefer to work quietly, on their own. In fact they may sometimes find conversation and discussion an unwanted distraction from their desire to complete tasks in a systematic, methodical way. Focusing on facts and practical realities, they tend to view life from an objective, distant and somewhat detached point of view. Logical, analytical and orderly in their thinking, they will be motivated to find practical, concrete solutions to well defined problems. Having a strong sense of duty and responsibility, they believe it is important to adhere closely to established systems and procedures. However, their emphasis on Thinking may cause them to question tasks and procedures that are not based on a sound logical analysis. Steadfast, loyal and dependable, they approach tasks with a calm, steady perseverance, and will be committed to complete their work on schedule and to the required standard.
INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS
Orientated towards the Introverted world of thoughts and ideas, ISTJs may sometimes need to be drawn out in social settings. Not usually the first to put forward their own views and opinions, they may prefer carefully to think through all the options before contributing to a debate or discussion. When working in teams they will wish to have a clearly defined role, and to be set well defined, achievable goals. Task focused and goal directed, they may feel more at ease working with facts and hard data, than when managing interpersonal relationships. Inclined to cool logical analysis, understanding others¹ feelings may not come naturally to them. Dependable and reliable, they will focus on getting things done and, as a result, it may take others a while to warm to them. They will generally prefer to learn about a subject by reading, or through private study, rather than by engaging in lively, informed debate or discussion.
THINKING STYLE
Having a clear, logical and analytical thinking style, ISTJs are known for their ability to focus on the detailed aspects of a task or problem. Not inclined to abstract debate, they tend to reject the purely theoretical, choosing instead to seek practical solutions to real-world problems. Basing their opinions on a logical analysis of observable facts and hard data that they have directly perceived through their Sensing function, they are likely to be steadfast in their opinions. Goal directed, orderly and methodical in their work, they have little interest in approaching problems from novel, theoretical perspectives. Being pragmatic and realistic, they do not seek change for change¹s sake. Rather, they prefer to examine new procedures in an objective manner, and will only accept new approaches if they offer clear benefits over tried-and-tested methods. Marshalling facts in an orderly and systematic manner to support their arguments, they may be at their best when communicating in writing, rather than in interpersonal contexts.
HOW OTHERS MAY SEE YOU
Well organised, dependable and reliable, they will be trusted to see tasks through to the end. Known for their sound, sensible and realistic judgement, colleagues will respect their ability to analyse problems in a systematic and logical manner. However people who are, on the surface, more emotional than them may on occasion have difficulty understanding their reliance on hard logic, and their tendency to focus on the stated facts in a given situation. Independent and self-reliant, they will be respected for their ability to persevere with tasks that require attention to detail. However, some colleagues may on occasion misperceive their detail-conscious, pragmatic realism as indicating a lack of imagination. While some colleagues may at times see them as being a little reserved, distant or even somewhat aloof, this is to misunderstand their private inner-directed nature and tendency to view life in an objective, analytical way. Outwardly calm, serious and composed, even when under pressure, they will tend to keep their feelings and personal values to themselves.

STRENGTHS
Inclined to focus on their own inner thoughts and abstract ideas INTJs often prefer working on their own, sometimes finding conversation and discussion an unwanted distraction from their desire to complete tasks in a systematic methodical way. Quietly curious and introspective, they are inclined to focus on the deeper patterns and hidden meanings behind surface forms and structures. Thus, they tend to view life from a somewhat detached, academic point of view. Logical, analytical and orderly in their thinking they are motivated to get to the heart of theoretical issues. Having a strong sense of duty and responsibility they believe it is important to adhere closely to established methods and procedures, and will be committed to complete tasks on schedule and to the required standard. However, their emphasis on Thinking may cause them to question tasks and procedures that are not based on a sound logical analysis.
INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS
Orientated towards the inner world of abstract concepts and ideas, INTJs may sometimes need to be drawn out in social settings. Thoughtful and introspective, they may not be the first to put forward their own ideas, preferring instead to consider the deeper issues before contributing to a debate or discussion. Feeling most at ease when working with fundamental principles and abstract concepts, they may dislike managing interpersonal relationships. Inclined to cool logical analysis, understanding others¹ feelings may not come naturally to them. Clear thinking and independent minded, they will be prepared to take tough decisions when these are called for. When working in teams they will wish to have a well defined role, and to be set clearly defined goals. Wanting to get to grips with the detailed, theoretical aspects of a problem, they will generally prefer to learn about a subject by reading, or through private study, rather than by engaging in lively, informed debate or discussion.
THINKING STYLE
INTJs are known for their abstract, creative, approach to problem solving, which is based on a logical analysis of fundamental principles. Moreover, approaching problems in a clear, orderly and methodical way, they will not lose sight of the detailed aspects of the task at hand. More interested in understanding why things work, rather than simply perceiving how the work, they will use their Intuition to look beyond the superficial facts in a given situation, in search of deeper truths. However, this does not mean that they will lack interest in solving practical real-world problems. Rather, it means that they approach such problems by first understanding the theoretical principles that govern the problem at hand. Organising abstract logical arguments in an orderly and systematic manner, they may be at their best when communicating in writing, rather than in interpersonal contexts.
HOW OTHERS MAY SEE YOU
Well organised, dependable and reliable, they will be trusted to see tasks through to the end. Known for their sound grasp of fundamental concepts and principles, colleagues will respect their ability to analyse problems in a systematic and logical manner. Setting high standards for themselves and others, they value efficiency, and clarity of thought. Dependable, reliable and tending to plan well ahead, others may take a while to warm to them. Moreover, colleagues who are, on the surface, more emotional than they are may on occasion have difficulty understanding their tendency to rely upon cool, abstract logic. Given their quiet outward calm, INTJs may sometimes surprise their colleagues by the firmness of their opinions, which will be based on a detailed, logical analysis of all the relevant information. While others may at times see them as being a little shy, distant or even somewhat aloof, this is to misunderstand their private, inner-directed nature and tendency to rely on cool, abstract logic.

As I mentioned before Harpy, it's normal to have compensation, there's no such thing as a total extrovert or a total introvert, there's always some ways we compensate... anyway

STRENGTHS
ESFPs are warm, friendly, supportive individuals. Exuberant, optimistic and fun-loving, they enjoy variety and change and actively seek out new, exciting challenges. Spontaneous and easy-going, they have a great capacity to enjoy life to the full. Using their Sensing function directly to perceive the known facts in a given situation, they approach problems in a pragmatic, realistic, down-to-earth way. Having little interest in abstract theoretical issues, they will be concerned to find practical solutions to concrete, real-world problems. Moreover, when solving such problems, they will be concerned to bear in mind others' needs and feelings. Tolerant, open-minded and flexible, they may resist too much structure and routine. Having a natural empathic understanding of people, they are accepting of others' idiosyncrasies, and are not judgmental, dogmatic or opinionated. Focusing on practical realities and the achievable, they do not needlessly cling to traditional, out-moded approaches.
INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS
Orientated towards the Extraverted world of people and external events, ESFPs are lively, talkative, outgoing individuals. Sensitive to others' feelings, they will not needlessly criticise colleagues in meetings and discussions. Others will generally be quick to warm to them, appreciating their enthusiasm and zest for life, and the active support and encouragement they freely offer. Expedient and goal-directed, they will want to achieve results with a minimum of effort and fuss, and a maximum of fun. Flexible and free-thinking, they are open to alternative points of view. Averse to conflict and discord, they may resist organising colleagues, preferring instead to work alongside people in an egalitarian manner. Sympathetic, tactful and understanding, they will work to resolve disagreements by actively seeking compromise and consensus. Disliking routine, they will plunge into things with great energy and enthusiasm, creating innovative solutions to problems as they arise.
THINKING STYLE
Having little interest in abstract theoretical debate and discussion, ESFPs are known for their pragmatic approach to solving problems, and tendency to focus on the known facts, and practical realities, in a given situation. However, their pragmatism and down-to-earth realism does not cause them to be dogmatic or closed minded, with them being open to new methods and ideas - particularly when they can see the practical advantages of adopting new approaches. Flexible and free-thinking, they will be concerned to understand others' points of view, even if these are radically different from their own perspective. Sensitive to others' feelings, they will wish to consider the impact their actions will have upon those around them, before deciding on a course of action. Inclined to focus on the 'broader picture', they may not always see the point of closely adhering to set procedures and systems. Similarly, attending to the detailed requirements of a task may not come naturally to them.
HOW OTHERS MAY SEE YOU
Colleagues will value their pragmatic, down-to-earth realism and their lively enthusiasm for all that goes on around them. Open and accepting of others, they will be viewed as fair-minded and tolerant. Co-operative and egalitarian, they will be happy to help colleagues and friends. However their egalitarian style, and desire to manage by consensus, may be misinterpreted by some as indicating an inability to take unpopular decisions. Avoiding dogmatism, they will be seen as open-minded, independent thinkers. However, more cautious colleagues may at times worry about their readiness to discard established systems and procedures, when seeking immediate solutions to current problems. Moreover, some colleagues may view them as being a little disorganised at times. Thoughtful and considerate, others may at times try to take advantage of their altruism. Willing to listen, and sensitive to others' feelings, colleagues will value the active support and encouragement they offer.

I thought so!

STRENGTHS
Thoughtful and considerate, INFPs are quietly perceptive, emotionally deep, individuals. However, being inclined to focus on the Introverted world of abstract thoughts and ideas, they may keep their great interpersonal warmth hidden from those they do not know well. Flexible and free-thinking, they will examine new situations from novel, theoretical perspectives. Quietly curious and introspective, they focus on the deeper hidden patterns and meanings behind surface forms and structures. Using their Intuition to look beyond the obvious known facts in a given situation, they will be motivated to get to the heart of theoretical issues. Thus, they often prefer to work either on their own, or with a small group of supportive, like-minded colleagues. Open and accepting of others' idiosyncrasies, and valuing autonomy, they are inclined to feel stifled by rigid systems and procedures. They will have a tight circle of close friends, who will value their authenticity and genuine concern for others' welfare.
INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS
Being orientated towards the Introverted domain of subjective mental events and feelings, INFPs may sometimes need to be drawn out when in the company of others. Perceptive, thoughtful and considerate, they may resist being the first to express their own deeply held personal views and opinions. Sensitive to others¹ feelings, they will not needlessly criticise colleagues in meetings and discussions. Averse to conflict and discord, they will work to resolve disagreements by actively seeking compromise and consensus. They are likely to resist organising colleagues, preferring instead to work alongside people in an egalitarian manner. Flexible and free-thinking, they will be open to others¹ points of view. Tending only to express their deeply held values and ideals to close friends, others may not always be aware of the true depth of their feelings. Thus, they are likely to be at their best when communicating on a one-to-one basis, with colleagues who value their theoretical, open-minded approach to problems.
THINKING STYLE
INFPs are known for their creative, abstract, theory-driven approach to problem solving. More interested in understanding why things work, rather than simply perceiving how they work, they will look beyond the superficial facts and data in search of deeper hidden truths. However, this does not mean that they will lack interest in solving practical, real-world problems. Rather, it means that they approach such problems by focusing on the theoretical concepts that underpin the problem at hand. Inclined to focus on the broader picture, attending to the detailed requirements of a task may not come naturally to them. They will be committed to completing tasks that catch their imagination; working in bursts of great enthusiasm and energy. With their preference for Feeling, they will be attuned to the impact their actions will have upon those around them. Quite able to function effectively in groups and committees, they may feel most at home brainstorming ideas with one or two like minded friends and colleagues.
HOW OTHERS MAY SEE YOU
Colleagues will value their quietly supportive, co-operative, egalitarian interpersonal style. However, their egalitarian style, and desire to manage by consensus, may be misinterpreted by some as indicating an inability to take difficult, unpopular decisions. Perceptive and sensitive to others¹ needs, they will be viewed as thoughtful, considerate, understanding and helpful. However, if others try to take unfair advantage of their goodwill, and genuine offers of help, this may generate feelings of resentment. They are likely to be viewed as Œdeep thinkers¹ who may sometimes be prone to flights of fantasy. More down-to-earth colleagues, who are less interested than them in the subtle nuances of a problem, may sometimes fear that they lose sight of practical, day-to-day realities. Avoiding dogmatism, they will be seen as free-thinking, open-minded individuals. Inclined to become engrossed in their own thoughts, some may view them as being a little disorganised or absentminded at times.

It means you have a great balance, LS, which many of us might be able to confirm. You may be one of those people I was telling Milky at the beginning, who simply stay on the edge and slip here and there according to the situation.

An analysis of the given result:

STRENGTHS
INTPs are inclined to direct their attention inward, on abstract thoughts and ideas. Thus, they often prefer to work on their own, free from the distraction of other people. Using their Intuition to look beyond the obvious known facts in a given situation, they are flexible, free-thinking and adaptable. Open to new ideas, they will examine novel perspectives in a critical, objective manner. Logical and analytical, they are motivated to get to the heart of theoretical problems. Quietly curious and introspective, they focus on the deeper hidden patterns and meanings behind superficial forms and structures. Preferring to approach old problems from novel perspectives, they are not inclined to be rule bound, rigid or dogmatic. Focusing on fundamental principles, they tend to view life from an abstract, intellectual point of view. Sceptical, and inclined to ask challenging questions - both of themselves and others - they value intellectual competence and abstract logic.
INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS
With an Introverted orientation, INTPs direct their attention towards the inner world of abstract thought and ideas. Thus, they may sometimes need to be drawn out when in the company of others. Thoughtful and introspective, they may not be the first to put forward their own ideas, preferring instead to consider the deeper aspects of a problem before contributing to a debate or discussion. Given their preference for Thinking, they are likely to be more at ease when working with fundamental concepts and ideas, rather than managing interpersonal relationships. Inclined to keep their inner-most thoughts and feelings to themselves, others may take a while to warm to them. Although able to operate effectively in meetings and discussions, they may nevertheless be at their best when communicating in writing, where they may feel most able to express freely their creative, abstract ideas. Not inclined to be judgmental, they will be accepting of people who have a diverse range of ideas and opinions.
THINKING STYLE
INTPs are known for their creative, imaginative approach to problem solving which is grounded in a logical analysis of fundamental principles. More interested in understanding why things work, rather than simply perceiving how they work, they will look beyond the superficial facts in a given situation in search of deeper, hidden truths. Thus, they may feel more comfortable when seeking creative solutions to challenging problems, rather than being responsible for putting their ideas into action. However, their orientation towards the abstract and theoretical does not mean that they will lack interest in solving practical real-world problems. Rather, it means that they approach such problems by focusing on the fundamental concepts that underpin the problem at hand. Inclined to focus on the broader picture, attending to the detailed requirements of a task may not come naturally to them. While open to new ideas, they will not reject tried-and-tested methods if convinced of the value of such approaches.
HOW OTHERS MAY SEE YOU
Colleagues will value their logical, rational approach to problems. However, people who are, on the surface, more emotional than them may on occasion have difficulty relating to their tendency to evaluate situations in an abstract, theoretical manner. They are likely to be viewed as Œdeep thinkers¹ who may sometimes be prone to flights of fantasy. Moreover, more down-to-earth colleagues, who are less interested in the subtle nuances of a problem, may sometimes worry that they might lose sight of practical, day-to-day realities.

Inclined to become engrossed in their own thoughts, some may view them as being a little disorganised or absentminded at times.

sorry for the delay everybody, I had one of my ME moments on my own.

@Midi: apparently you don't need the result on the page I found, but in case you're interested:

INTps often have a characteristic round-shouldered posture. Their necks are often not as well proportioned as other types and their heads seem to strain forwards. Their eyes have a sorrowful look about them as if they are about to be victimised in some way. Their noses are somewhat aquiline in shape which combined with often flattened cheekbones giving the false impression that their noses are large.

During conversation INTps may project their lower lips forward. INTps often show poor control of their lower jaw, allowing them to hang down. INTps normal facial expressions usually reflect wisdom and great life experience or sadness and victimisation. Although INTps are introverts, some of them may behave in a very extroverted manner.

INTps with more developed aesthetic taste are neat and tidy. They look after their clothes which they know well how to compose and combine. When they interact with others they are softly spoken and unobtrusive, leaving others the impression that they are intelligent and educated. When asking someone for something, they usually do it in such a way as to rarely be denied.

INTps with less developed aesthetic taste usually look like they are not bothered about their appearance. Their clothes are often old and worn and their footwear may be in a bad condition. When interacting with others they may be very active, pushy and sometimes even aggressive. They often do not obey the norms of politeness and may sometime be rough and vulgar, however this behaviour usually does not last a long time.

When INTps speak publicly they habitually adopt a slow, monotone speech pattern. This may have a sleep inducing hypnotic effect on their audience. INTps are good at noticing contradictions in theories or opinions and can focus others attention to this. They are able to predict short term forthcoming events in both visual and associative forms. Through observation and their own experiences INTps can create a precise model of others behaviour allowing INTps to predict peoples next moves. They often amaze and interest people with this quality.

INTps are very sceptical to others who are undertaking new beginnings. They are able to pour cold water on others burning enthusiasm. They try to keep others from being passionate as they consider strong emotions to be harmful. INTps also look after their health and can be very captious in these matters. For example, they may wash their hands more often than others do. They pay a lot attention to hygiene and sanitation.

INTps are often active in business and commercial matters. They have good abilities to quickly calculate profit. Usually they are relaxed and only undertake projects that show considerable return and profit. They are not afraid to run big businesses. Usually INTps are very economical. They do not like to make presents or lend money to others. Because of this quality they usually try to appear poorer than they actually are. However when it comes to spending money on themselves, they can be very generous.

INTps usually work slowly, paying a lot of attention to detail. In their activities they show a strict logic, that can sometimes become very pedantic and scrupulous. INTps may check that all home appliances are off many times before leaving.

I've always been an introvert by nature. I don't really care what anyone has to say. Introverts are usually the intellectuals, the artists, the great minds. Not to say I live under a rock and never see the light of day. Hell I love hanging out with my friends, I just prefer to have time to myself.

Thanks, Mama Cass.

I'm an introvert of the highest degree, and taking this test hasn't given me a real answer as it came back INT?... the final piece is missing and so I can't be given an outcome.


I have taken this test again recently and I got ISFP 'The Artist'.

Cassie: I never cease to be amazed at how perfectly the INTP personality type truly describes me in most cases. It is extremely scary accurate. Of what you posted this part rang true with me the most:



This rang true the most because anyone who knows me, truly knows me, knows that I am not good at conversation or communication from a vocal stand point. I could have the IQ of Albert E. and be tongue tied utterly if I had to put my thoughts into words more often than not.

However when I write (as I am now) I am free. I dare say, it is the only time I am ever free and is my main form of communication. This is why I love written words so much and why I always felt I had a gift with them- even if I am not fully aware of how to utilize that gift to the best of my ability. I do so enjoy writing more than anyone can imagine. Talking, not so much.

This also describes me as well. In writing I can be eloquent, witty, knowledgeable and confident, whereas in real life, when put in situations that require me to speak I falter and end up a nervous wreck... my mind goes blank and I struggle to even recall my name, let alone the subject I am meant to be speaking about!
