Freeper Research Project: Freeper personality tests

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

[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)

INTP: marron

ENFJ: .30Carbine (1,50,75,22) , phantomworker (39,57,40,12)

I'm INTJ (78-6-1-89)

Blast from the Past:

INTJs dominated, as I recall.

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.

I am an ENFJ and Psalm 119 is my favorite Psalm. (:

[mpackard]

me tooooooo, except....may percentages I'm mostly extroverted and judging, whatever that means

[Old Professer]

That is a perfectly rational design for a walking bridge failure; I heard of a guy who repaired those old fashioned steam radiators who got tired of people using them for benches and leaning posts and damaging or loosening the pipes, so he hung "High Voltage" signs on them.

Glad you like the tagline!!

Troll? NAH, I have never known you to engage in troll like activities.

[Springman]

Bumping for when I get home from work. I'll need a humor break then!!

[happymom]

My results came out:

ISFJ
Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging
Strength of the preferences %
33 12 62 1

This seems pretty accurate in my case.

Thanks for posting this interesting topic!

[mpackard]

Wow, Harley, you're a well rounded guy!!!!

[Always Learning]

ISTJ here (39,25,25,1) 1???

Famous fictional ISTJ's:
Fred Mertz
Eeyore
Cliff (Cheers)

I think I'll just go hide in bed.

[duckman]

I'm an ISJF. I have taken these type of tests at IBM, I think they called them 'NERO'. Resultant quadrants are pretty much the same. Thanks for the memories.

The Portrait of the Mastermind Rational (iNTj)

Seems like it does fit me pretty well.

There is one attitude that sets them apart from other Rationals: they tend to be much more self-confident than the rest, having, for obscure reasons, developed a very strong will. They are rather rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population. Being very judicious, decisions come naturally to them; indeed, they can hardly rest until they have things settled, decided, and set. They are the people who are able to formulate coherent and comprehensive contingency plans, hence contingency organizers or "entailers."

Scratch that. The "F" wasn't the one I got 1 point on, it was the "S"... so taking the test again so soon seems rather fruitless, as it may be swayed by "trying" to get a certain type, rather than the honest answers I did give. I was distracted the first time by my little one coloring on my lap, but I did read each and every question.

[Andy'smom]

When I found out my type and that it was NF I was afraid that it put me in the company of liberals, too. Then one day I found a list of the personality types and the percentages of liberals and conservatives within each type. What I found was that while ENFJs have more liberals, INFJ is considered to be conservative.

[MarxSux]

I suppose that is true.

[null and void]

Did you say 'Free Personality Test???'

So you have questions about Scientology...

[Evie Munchkin]

Here's another INFJ! With 100% introvert score... Probably why I lurk more than I post. :-) (It's the quiet ones you have to watch out for.)

[Sloth]

In the past I usually came out INTJ, but this time I was mildly 'perceiving' instead of 'judging':

Your Type is
INTP
89, 62, 88, 11

[SuzyQue]

The results don't generally change over time except that as we mature (age), we tend to pull in the other components (the shadow). For instance introverts may become more extraverted as they reach middle age, and extraverts may become more inner-directed. Thinkers may become more feeling-aware, and feelers more analytical and less prone to act upon feelings.

I've also seen references that correlate Myers-Briggs with political preference. INTJs tend towards libertarian, and INTPs more toward standard Republicanism. I don't remember the others.

By the way, INTJs tend to be fascinated by things like Myers-Briggs.

I'm an INTJ.

[wagglebee]

I got:

INTJ
Introverted Intuitive Thinking Judging
67 38 88 67

The only time I have ever know my mother to curse was one time she called me an ass, everyone else I've ever known has said the same thing about me at some point or another. I suppose I like this explanation better.
