#mbti tests

[funkymbtifiction]

Hello and thanks for your answer. I am the person https://funkymbtifiction.tumblr.com/post/675903435862900736/sorry-in-advance-for-i-dont-know-if-this-is-a and I was wondering about what you say and again I have two questions (sorry, really).

If I happen to be an ISFP, how is possible for me to continually be unaware of my surroundings? I'll be walking through the city and completely out-of-touch with everything happening around me because I am ultra-focus on my own thoughts. My partner is teasing me with those didn't you notice this MASSIVE THING that just happened right next to us? How? Maybe I am misunderstanding the function (Se).

And about the tert-Si of the INFP. I am rather minimalist, could it be oriented towards experiences? Such as... did you remember the first time we went to that restaurant and the conversation we maintain over (this, this and this)?

I am not trying to be a type over the other, just trying to make sense of it.

No problem. :) I'm not here to shoehorn anyone into a type that doesn't feel natural to them.

Why don't you try being an ISFP for a week and see whether it feels natural (pay attention to your environment, look for opportunities to act, expand your tastes) and then do the same with INFP (read perspectives that differ from yours, read something heavily abstract, or have a long theoretical discussion with someone if possible)? I also recommend keeping a journal for a week -- write down what you did at the end of each day, or what thoughts are on your mind; I usually find that sensors talk about what they did, and intuitives naturally gravitate to whatever ideas are being mulled over in their head (eg: we went here and did this and it was amazing, vs: "I've been thinking about the human soul, and what it might be," or "it bothers me a lot that I am so flawed compared to my idealistic idea of what I should be" Fi + Ne ruminating).

hi genuine question but why isn't 16 personalities a good test?

real genuine. 

Here’s a great post about this by mbti-notes: https://mbti-notes.tumblr.com/basics#tests  

you can also check my #mbti typing and #mbti test tags to see what I've been saying but, to sum up:

They test tendencies. That means your result can vary throughout time because it depends on the context, interests, lifestyle, recent events....

They are biased: especially by INx types. it’s like any mbti test is made for introverts and intuitives. The amount of questions relatable for ambiverts and sensors are limited and absurd. Like: “IN A MEETING I TEND TO BE AT THE CENTER OF THE PARTY” ? idk dude? what the fuck does that mean xD

Useless questions: as I said earlier, but I go further. Most of the 16p questions seem made for people with mental issues... like: do you feel anxious? do you have OCD in answering your emails right away? I mean.... the answer of those questions has nothing to do with the very basics of MBTI so?? Other questions are even more absurd: I AM MORE CREATIVE THAN PRACTICAL. Then what if you are both? And who decides which types are more creative than others. Also, creative =/= impractical.

Generalist descriptions: boring and half relatable for everybody. Like, if you are ISFJ you can fit into ISTJ, INFJ, ESFJ and ENFJ descriptions, to some extent. And because no description will be relatable 100%, there goes the inacurracy.

Hey! Hope its not too much trouble to ask but could you recommend an accurate MBTI test? Thank you. ☺

This ask comes at a perfect time because I just updated my FAQs section, which talks about this question! I’ll copy and paste it down below and then give you some links. :)

“Okay, so how do I figure out my type? What test should I take?

No test is going to be a reliable source for you to type yourself. They are good jumping off points, though. Plus, they’re fun. So take some tests, read about the types, get a general sense for what they are, and then throw it all out and look at cognitive functions. The more you understand the functions, the easier it will be for you to figure out which ones you use. Will you always be certain about your type? Probably not. There’s always a margin of error. But you know and understand yourself best, so you are best at typing yourself. If you really need an outside look, ask a friend or someone close to you to help you out.”

So like I say in my FAQs, there aren’t really any “accurate” tests. The best way is to learn about each type and the functions and type yourself. 

Buuuuuut taking personality tests is fun, so here are some of the ones I’ve seen:

similar minds. The MBTI ones are listed under the Jung Tests on the right, but I love going through all their stuff.

Personality Junkie. They’ve got a general test plus two other tests for differentiating between INFP/J and INTP/J. Plus their site is packed with other info.

This…random test that’s not really affiliated with anything. One of the reasons I like it is because you can skip questions. It gives you your type “percentage” at the end, but rather than look at it as “I’m 75% INFP and 25% INFJ!” think of it is as there’s a 75% chance you’re an INFP, 25% that you’re an INFJ.

The dreaded 16 Personalities. I…don’t particularly like this test, but this is the one people usually talk about when they say they’ve taken an MBTI test. It’s fun but probably shouldn’t be taken too seriously.

Also, to all my followers and those interested in MBTI stuff, for future reference, here’s the link to my FAQs which can also be found in my bio. Make sure to check that out before sending asks. Thanks!

Wait tests are stupid? How should i figure out what i am then if im not self aware? Love your blog and sorry if tou already answered this

Hello! The tests sometimes work and sometimes don’t, but they at best just give you a rough estimate of what you are. Do not accept them as fact. If you want to type yourself, you completely can still use tests, I would just also recommend reading up on these things called cognitive functions. Also, there are a lot of blogs on tumblr that can help with any questions you have, as well as articles from more… credible sources. Good luck! Feel free to come back with any questions you have.

The more into MBTI one is, the less I trust the tests they took. When one gets deeper on cognitive functions, dichotomies and other concepts, he/she tends to forget the true nature of tests and respond based on a pre-established construction of self, answering the questions automaticaly based on constructs one has mabe about oneself. This is particularly grave since many words and concepts are used exhaustively and, many times, wrongly. By the time one has words like “past”, “possibilities”, “analysis”,  “future”,  “insight”, “sensorial” already directly correlated to some concepts in mind, he/she tends to force their stereotypes and ideas of themselves into the tests, unconsciously manipulating results.

MBTI Functions Test - It’s funner than it sounds, don’t worry :)

so I am basically Ne, Fi, Ni, Fe,  and then Ti, Te, Si, Se

Wow. I’m the definition of xNFx.

Take the test yourself here ,if you do take the test please tag me: @enfpftw​

I was taking tests and came across this one that looked fun. I was wondering what you thought of it—cool, interesting, funny, close to accurate than most tests? More like how you think when you’re typing and asking questions or explaining the functions? Let me know please! It’s on sakinorva and is called the Real & Fake Myers Briggs Test.

Welp.

That was a bust. ;)

hey omg im pretty sure we had a discussion about jeno’s mbti about a year or two ago LOL. but i like panicked when i saw he took the 16 types mbti and was like an isfp??? I’m pretty sure we talked about him being an infj but im still like a big mystery about him??? haha what are your thoughts?

jenos said: ALSO LOL IVE GOT KEYS2COGNITIONS SITE MEMORIZED TOO

I think he is ISFJ and 16p just said: hey you seem AT THE MOMENT a little messy, kid, so you are 53% P or something (that’s how 16p and such tests work) so here you go. Fuck cognitive functions. We don’t care if Jeno uses Fi or Si, just if he seems messier (P) or more organized (J) IN THIS VERY MOMENT.

morons sdlksjhs 

Keys 2 cognition is by far the only test more or less accurate, at least it tries to spot how much do you use each function
