Retook MBTI

[Ezra]

Okay, I retook the MBTI test, and got some results which actually make more sense to me than ESTJ. I thought a lot more about the questions I was answering; I actually looked at my life and said "do I do this?", and with the ones with which I would've once straight off "agreed", I actually stopped and thought about them, and could change to "disagree" very easily. The results resonate with a different MBTI test I've taken in the past. I got INTJ.

(I also got 8w9 at 76% for 8, 56% for 9 (and 26% for 7), followed closely by 1 at 63% and 3 at 56%.)

a lot of SLEs seem to get INTJ on pseudo-internet MBTI tests.

a lot of SLEs seem to get INTJ on pseudo-internet MBTI tests.

And, even if I know I am repeating myself, a large proportion of the Russian socionists whom Lytov asked to type Keirsey descriptions thought that the INTJ described SLEs.

The results resonate with a different MBTI test I've taken in the past. I got INTJ.

And what was your relative ranking of the four scales? Since we have strong reason to believe that you are an extraverted type, your INTJ result is yet another argument for LIE as your most likely type in Socionics. And even if you are not a LIE, your result is unquestionably a rather strong argument against SLE. (This has nothing to do with type descriptions, so Expat's comment is not relevant in this context. It is only about test results.)

And I find that really interesting. I see the INTJ as more of an LSI than of an SLE. Either that, or I have a seriously skewered view of the SLE.

And what was your relative ranking of the four scales?

Quite balanced on E/I and S/N. Very T over F, and quite J over P. This has nearly always been the case.

And therefore you are not an SLE. That idea of yours can now safely be put in the trash bag (unless you are suggesting that your answers to the questions in the MBTI tests are dishonest and that we therefore get a totally incorrect picture of your true personality because you are misleading us and yourself).

[Ezra]

Why am I not SLE, Phaedrus?
