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)
by that listing, I'm more of a reluctant ENTJ ;)
ROFL! Good one! Of course, as soon as you got everything planned, we would rearrange the chairs again. LOL!
ISTJ...
"...often called inspectors. They have a keen sense of right and wrong, especially in their area of interest and/or responsibility. They are noted for devotion to duty. Punctuality is a watchword of the ISTJ."
"Once a new procedure has proven itself (i.e., has been shown "to work,") the ISTJ can be depended upon to carry it through, even at the expense of their own health."

Says I'm introverted... results are somewhat skewed depending upon my mood.

How am I doing?
"Jack Bauer does not feel like carrying you."
See, even you acknowledge he's touchy feely. He probably only resolves "felt needs" not manly men stuff like the Terminator.
INFJ
YOMANK
You're an ISTJ too.
Is this good or bad?
Will this help bring food on the table and make me rich and famous?
We don't mind interacting with interesting people. In fact, we like that a lot.
But in a social setting where you have 5 or more people, at least one is going to be someone you wish wasn't even in the same converation with you.
If it's nerdiness, it's almost a snobbish nerdiness, except that there's no desire to exhibit it. We'd rather just avoid the situation from happening in the first place.
That's introversion, but it's not caused by being shy.
"There's no point in allowing yourself to become angry at one more twit in a universe which seems largely populated with twits" - Adele Mundy (AFAIK, my closest analogue in fiction)
pinging as another INFJ (78-12-38-22)
Cheers - Dinah
Honestly, dunno.
It's likely a bad thing, maybe.
Likely won't make either of us rich or famous.
But gives us something to crack wise about later on.
in other words: NMSD - "not my species, dear"
that's rational analysis (thinking and judgement), not emotional weaknes (shyness)
Let's get this straight: The only reason the town you live in isn't a smoking hole in the ground is that Gandalf went to Valinor. ;^)
???
I know, sounds hard to believe.
But in person...

Interesting. I've taken a short version of this test before and it seems the results are pretty consistent.
...as well as supplying the universe with an endless array of delightfully Bad Ideas.
see 533 :)
...and it was the "somewhat skewed" bit that caused me to snarf mud all over my keyboard
Plus the Princeps is an INTJ as well. Can you imagine a THIRD triumvirate, comprised of Octavian, Hannibal Lector, and Gandalf? Just give up world. It's over. You lose.
