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)
Hmmm, I wonder if that's how people think of me? I'm sure some do, but I like to think of myself as forwardly aggressive in a caring sort of way, lol!
I like the first description you put "I'm really sorry you have to die". lol
Some additional factors - it says I tend to be skeptical, but I doubt that. Somewhat apathetic, but who cares? Tendencies toward navel gazing, nosepicking, and playing with my toes. Possible career choices - janitor, bungee cord tester, serial killer. Runs into things. Not to be trusted with sharp objects.
These guys are good!

No way!
Canned ravioli & warm bottled water will be worth something someday!

I would have answered "other" or "neither" to every question,if available, so I don't know how valid the test was.
This appears to be like the Myers-Briggs Test.
A few of you took it twice so I decided to do that:

Exactly the same both times.

Qualitative analysis of your type formula
You are:
moderately expressed introvert
very expressed sensing personality
moderately expressed feeling personality
moderately expressed judging personality
I see your's is the closest to mine: ESFJ.
Oy got better...
But please do keep it up! This is most fascinating. See y'all this evening!
This is the simplified, on-line test, so it is not as accurate as the full test. Myers-Briggs theory, while having its detractors, has proven to be pretty valid and useful over time.

How many months elapsed between your marriage and the birth of your son? P.S. I'm just kidding ;-)
Introverted: 67
Intuitive: 75
Thinking: 38

I took it and it was INFJ
Looks like we INTJs have taken a commanding lead!
