In all seriousness, these tests are really horribly inaccurate.  On a good day, it gives an idea of how you see yourself, which may not be exactly how you are.

I actually disagree, I have taken this test a few times over the past 10 years and have found the results to be rather accurate at least for myself.

Taken from the wiki
The accuracy of the MBTI depends on honest self-reporting by the person tested. Unlike some personality measures, such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory or the Personality Assessment Inventory, the MBTI does not use validity scales to assess exaggerated or socially desirable responses. As a result, individuals motivated to do so can fake their responses, and one study found that the MBTI judgment/perception dimension correlates with the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire lie scale. If respondents "fear they have something to lose, they may answer as they assume they should." However, the MBTI ethical guidelines state, "It is unethical and in many cases illegal to require job applicants to take the Indicator if the results will be used to screen out applicants." The intent of the MBTI is to provide "a framework for understanding individual differences, and … a dynamic model of individual development".
If all the world's problems were solved today, what would you have left to do tomorrow?

That quote is basically what I was saying, though the use of "honest self-report" makes it sound like the only source of inaccuracy is out-and-out lying, which usually isn't the case.  It's just that, just like your voice sounds different to others than it does to you, you tend to perceive yourself in ways that may differ from how others perceive you.

I'm not saying the test is necessarily useless, just not as accurate as a lot of people seem to think.

I do tend to agree that the test is only gonna be as accurate as we would perceive ourself. For instance, I always see myself as shy until I get to know you but Pait disagrees and has never seen me as "shy". So it's all in how we see ourselves in a personality test like this one. However I do find that it seems to be pretty accurate to how I see me. ENFB pretty much fits lol.

Took the test again. INTP instead of INFP this time.

What's interesting to me is the the scale or polarity of each element.  
I'm slightly "introverted" (25%)
I'm VERY "Intuitive" (80%)
I teeter totter between Thinking and Feeling based on situations (10%)
I'm slightly perceptive (30%)
Feeling Nostalgic...

INTJ - Mastermind

I've received the same assessment three years in a row now. I'd say it's pretty accurate if you answer honestly.


Furious since 2006.
