White Tower Personalities?

[MashiraSedai]

I found a pretty decent Myers Briggs Type personality test. This particular test seems to be really accurate, at least for

everyone that I have asked to take it. I'm really curious to see what types of personalities we have here, if there is a

large number of a certain type, or a distinct lack of a certain type. So, what type are you? Do you feel it suits you? Why? Why not?

 

The Test

 

once you get your type, this is a great place to read up on it:

 

Personality Type Explained

 

*is excited*

 

Also, once you get aquainted with the types: What types would you say the WoT characters are?

[dapianoplay3r]

interesting... I feel kinda violated lol

[Zania]

ISTJ

 

Wow thats interesting lol

[dapianoplay3r]

oh yea I was INTP

[MashiraSedai]

I seem to flip-flop between three depending on my mood (ESTJ, ENFJ, ESFJ).

Most of the time I'm an ENFJ so that was my vote. Also, it's a public poll so do be aware

that we can see who voted for what.

[Charis alAslan]

ENFJ!

[Moon Sedai]

ESFJ.

 

Huh.

 

that's changed since i was younger. I used to be an I.

[ElusiveAthena]

My personality explained.

 

INFPs never seem to lose their sense of wonder. One might say they see life through rose-colored glasses. It's as though they live at the edge of a looking-glass world where mundane objects come to life, where flora and fauna take on near-human qualities.

 

INFPs have the ability to see good in almost anyone or anything. Even for the most unlovable the INFP is wont to have pity.

 

INFPs live primarily in a rich inner world of introverted Feeling. Being inward-turning, the natural attraction is away from world and toward essence and ideal. This introversion of dominant Feeling, receiving its data from extraverted intuition, must be the source of the quixotic nature of these usually gentle beings. Feeling is caught in the approach- avoidance bind between concern both for people and for All Creatures Great and Small, and a psycho-magnetic repulsion from the same. The "object," be it homo sapiens or a mere representation of an organism, is valued only to the degree that the object contains some measure of the inner Essence or greater Good. Doing a good deed, for example, may provide intrinsic satisfaction which is only secondary to the greater good of striking a blow against Man's Inhumanity to Mankind.

 

Extraverted intuition faces outward, greeting the world on behalf of Feeling. What the observer usually sees is creativity with implied good will. Intuition spawns this type's philosophical bent and strengthens pattern perception. It combines as auxiliary with introverted Feeling and gives rise to unusual skill in both character development and fluency with language--a sound basis for the development of literary facility. If INTPs aspire to word mechanics, INFPs would be verbal artists.

 

Sensing is introverted and often invisible. This stealth function in the third position gives INFPs a natural inclination toward absent- mindedness and other-worldliness, however, Feeling's strong people awareness provides a balancing, mitigating effect. This introverted Sensing is somewhat categorical, a subdued version of SJ sensing. In the third position, however, it is easily overridden by the stronger functions.

 

The INFP may turn to inferior extraverted Thinking for help in focusing on externals and for closure. INFPs can even masquerade in their ESTJ business suit, but not without expending considerable energy. The inferior, problematic nature of Extraverted Thinking is its lack of context and proportion. Single impersonal facts may loom large or attain higher priority than more salient principles which are all but overlooked.

 

INFP - it's all so true! Wow! That's exactly who I am!

 

Highly creative, artistic and spiritual, they can produce wonderful works of art, music and literature. INFPs are natural artists. They will find great satisfaction if they encourage and develop their artistic abilities. That doesn't mean that an INFP has to be a famous writer or painter in order to be content. Simply the act of "creating" will be a fulfilling source of renewal and refreshment to the INFP. An INFP should allow himself or herself some artistic outlet, because it will add enrichment and positive energy to their life.

 

They're more spiritually aware than most people, and are more in touch with their soul than others. Most INFPs have strong Faith. Those that don't may feel as if they're missing something important. An INFP should nourish their faith.

 

INFPs are very aware of social injustice, and empathize with the underdog. Their empathy for the underdog and hyper-awareness of social injustice makes them extremely compassionate and nurturing towards disadvantaged members of our society. INFPs will feel most useful and fulfilled when they are fighting to help people who have been misfortunate in our society. They may be teachers, ministers, writers, counsellors or psychologists, but they will most likely all spend extra time trying to help people with special problems. An INFP can find a tremendous amount of satisfaction by enacting some kind of social change that will help the underdog.

 

They're usually good listeners who genuinely want to hear about someone's problems, and genuinely want to help them. This makes them outstanding counsellors, and good friends. An INFP may find great satisfaction from volunteering as a counselor.

 

They accept and value people as individuals, and are strongly egalitarian. They believe that an individual has the right to be themself, without having their attitudes and perspectives brought under scrutiny. Accordingly, they have a great deal of tolerance and acceptance dealing with people who might encounter negative judgment from society in general. They can see something positive in everyone. They believe in individuals. If they give themselves the opportunity, an INFP can become a much-needed source of self-esteem and confidence for people who cannot find it on their own. In this way, they can nurture a "sick soul" back to health.

 

Usually deep and intelligent, they're able to grasp difficult concepts with relative ease. They usually do quite well academically, and will find that educating their minds nourishes their need to think deeply.

 

I like this test.

 

One real problem area for the INFP is their intensive dislike of conflict and criticism. The INFP is quick to find a personal angle in any critical comment, whether or not anything personal was intended. They will tend to take any sort of criticism as a personal attack on their character, and will usually become irrational and emotional in such situations.

 

This is also true, sadly one of my worst faults.

Extraverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving

by Marina Margaret Heiss

 

Profile: ENTP

Revision: 3.1

Date of Revision: 28 Feb 2011

 

"Clever" is the word that perhaps describes ENTPs best. The professor who juggles half a dozen ideas for research papers and grant proposals in his mind while giving a highly entertaining lecture on an abstruse subject is a classic example of the type. So is the stand-up comedian whose lampoons are both funny and incisively accurate.

 

ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue--both for its own sake, and to show off their debating skills. ENTPs tend to have a perverse sense of humor as well, and enjoy playing devil's advocate. This sometimes confuses, even angers, those who don't understand or accept the concept of argument as a sport.

 

ENTPs are as innovative and ingenious at problem-solving as they are at verbal gymnastics; on occasion, however, they manage to outsmart themselves. ENTPs can be prone to "sharp practice" – especially cutting corners without regard to the rules if it's expedient – or, their juggling acts may simply be so over-ambitious they collapse.

 

Both at work and at home, ENTPs are very fond of "toys" -- physical or intellectual, the more sophisticated the better. Once these have been "solved" or become too familiar, however, they’ll be replaced with new ones.

 

ENTPs are basically optimists, but in spite of this (perhaps because of it?), they can become petulant about small setbacks and inconveniences. (Major setbacks they regard as challenges, and tackle with determination.) ENTPs have little patience with those they consider wrongheaded or unintelligent, and show little restraint in demonstrating this. In general, however, they are genial, even charming, when not being harassed by life.

 

In terms of their relationships with others, ENTPs are capable of bonding very closely and suddenly with their loved ones. Some appear deceptively offhand with their nearest and dearest; others are so demonstrative that they succeed in shocking co-workers who've only seen their professional side. ENTPs are also quick to spot a kindred spirit, and good at acquiring friends of similar temperament and interests.

 

ENTPs may sometimes give the impression of being largely oblivious to the rest of humanity except as an audience: good, bad, or potential. In general this is unfair – but it can be difficult to get an ENTP’s attention when they’re not immediately aware of you, especially for an Introvert.

 

The best approach in communicating with an ENTP is to be straightforward. No games – they’ll win. No "pulling rank" – they’ll just want to put you in your place. No apologies – you’ll undermine yourself. Try "I need/want to talk to you."

 

Some Famous ENTPs:

 

Alexander the Great

Confederate General J. E. B. Stuart

Sir Walter Raleigh"

[michellem]

ENFJ for me, very accurate on most, but I am gonna try again on a bad mood-day just for the fun of it. But I do think ENFJ is very right for me.

 

outgoing, social, attention seeking, emotional, loving, organized, comfortable around others, involved, open, hyperactive, complimentary, punctual, considerate, altruistic, easily hurt, religious, neat, content, positive, affectionate, image conscious, good at getting people to have fun, easily excited, perfectionist, assertive, ambitious, leader, hard working, seductive, touchy, group oriented, anti-tattoos

 

In bold those that do NOT suit me at all... So not much, haha.

 

The careers are all spot on; I want to do all the favoured careers and shudder at the disfavoured ones. Fun!

[Nynaeve]

Introverted (I) 66.67% Extroverted (E) 33.33%

Intuitive (N) 60.53% Sensing (S) 39.47%

Feeling (F) 58.06% Thinking (T) 41.94%

Judging (J) 51.52% Perceiving (P) 48.48%

 

Your type is: INFJ

 

INFJ - "Author". Strong drive and enjoyment to help others. Complex personality. 1.5% of total population.

 

 

Beneath the quiet exterior, INFJs hold deep convictions about the weightier matters of life. Those who are activists -- INFJs gravitate toward such a role -- are there for the cause, not for personal glory or political power.

 

INFJs are champions of the oppressed and downtrodden. They often are found in the wake of an emergency, rescuing those who are in acute distress. INFJs may fantasize about getting revenge on those who victimize the defenseless. The concept of 'poetic justice' is appealing to the INFJ.

 

"There's something rotten in Denmark." Accurately suspicious about others' motives, INFJs are not easily led. These are the people that you can rarely fool any of the time. Though affable and sympathetic to most, INFJs are selective about their friends. Such a friendship is a symbiotic bond that transcends mere words.

 

INFJs have a knack for fluency in language and facility in communication. In addition, nonverbal sensitivity enables the INFJ to know and be known by others intimately.

 

Writing, counseling, public service and even politics are areas where INFJs frequently find their niche.

 

 

This is seriously scary and, to the most part, spot on. Even the part of being fluent in languages. Wtf? xD

 

 

 

 

Nyn

[Rekinu Alasayaar]

mine was ISFJ...

 

in bold are the ones that are TOTALLY me...

 

ISFJs are characterized above all by their desire to serve others, their "need to be needed." In extreme cases, this need is so strong that standard give-and-take relationships are deeply unsatisfying to them; however, most ISFJs find more than enough with which to occupy themselves within the framework of a normal life. (Since ISFJs, like all SJs, are very much bound by the prevailing social conventions, their form of "service" is likely to exclude any elements of moral or political controversy; they specialize in the local, the personal, and the practical.)

 

ISFJs are often unappreciated, at work, home, and play. Ironically, because they prove over and over that they can be relied on for their loyalty and unstinting, high-quality work, those around them often take them for granted--even take advantage of them. Admittedly, the problem is sometimes aggravated by the ISFJs themselves; for instance, they are notoriously bad at delegating ("If you want it done right, do it yourself"). And although they're hurt by being treated like doormats, they are often unwilling to toot their own horns about their accomplishments because they feel that although they deserve more credit than they're getting, it's somehow wrong to want any sort of reward for doing work (which is supposed to be a virtue in itself). (And as low-profile Is, their actions don't call attention to themselves as with charismatic Es.) Because of all of this, ISFJs are often overworked, and as a result may suffer from psychosomatic illnesses.

 

In the workplace, ISFJs are methodical and accurate workers, often with very good memories and unexpected analytic abilities; they are also good with people in small-group or one-on-one situations because of their patient and genuinely sympathetic approach to dealing with others. ISFJs make pleasant and reliable co-workers and exemplary employees, but tend to be harried and uncomfortable in supervisory roles. They are capable of forming strong loyalties, but these are personal rather than institutional loyalties; if someone they've bonded with in this way leaves the company, the ISFJ will leave with them, if given the option. Traditional careers for an ISFJ include: teaching, social work, most religious work, nursing, medicine (general practice only), clerical and and secretarial work of any kind, and some kinds of administrative careers.

 

While their work ethic is high on the ISFJ priority list, their families are the centers of their lives. ISFJs are extremely warm and demonstrative within the family circle--and often possessive of their loved ones, as well. When these include Es who want to socialize with the rest of the world, or self-contained ITs, the ISFJ must learn to adjust to these behaviors and not interpret them as rejection. Being SJs, they place a strong emphasis on conventional behavior (although, unlike STJs, they are usually as concerned with being "nice" as with strict propriety); if any of their nearest and dearest depart from the straight-and-narrow, it causes the ISFJ major embarrassment: the closer the relationship and the more public the act, the more intense the embarrassment (a fact which many of their teenage children take gleeful advantage of). Over time, however, ISFJs usually mellow, and learn to regard the culprits as harmless eccentrics :-). Needless to say, ISFJs take infinite trouble over meals, gifts, celebrations, etc., for their loved ones--although strong Js may tend to focus more on what the recipient should want rather than what they do want.

 

Like most Is, ISFJs have a few, close friends. They are extremely loyal to these, and are ready to provide emotional and practical support at a moment's notice. (However, like most Fs they hate confrontation; if you get into a fight, don't expect them to jump in after you. You can count on them, however, run and get the nearest authority figure.) Unlike with EPs, the older the friendship is, the more an ISFJ will value it. One ISFJ trait that is easily misunderstood by those who haven't known them long is that they are often unable to either hide or articulate any distress they may be feeling. For instance, an ISFJ child may be reproved for "sulking," the actual cause of which is a combination of physical illness plus misguided "good manners." An adult ISFJ may drive a (later ashamed) friend or SO into a fit of temper over the ISFJ's unexplained moodiness, only afterwards to explain about a death in the family they "didn't want to burden anyone with." Those close to ISFJs should learn to watch for the warning signs in these situations and take the initiative themselves to uncover the problem.

 

That last one is particularly true!! This actually helps me understand why I do not stand up to my mom, why I am so OCD about doing things right at work, and many other aspects....

[MashiraSedai]

Ed, the Internet Gods indeed

 

Fnorrll, ESTP or ENTP? You posted a bit on both...

 

*notices that every Red so far is a J*

*also notices she shares personality type with Myst & Marta and SQUEES*

Psst, Marta, did you vote on the poll?

 

Also, here is my break down:

 

Extroverted (E) 55.88% Introverted (I) 44.12%

Intuitive (N) 55.5% Sensing (S) 44.5%

Feeling (F) 51.5% Thinking (T) 48.5%

Judging (J) 86.67% Perceiving (P) 13.33%

 

It seems like the top three are really very fluid for me, so that may be why I change so much based on my mood.

Considering ENFJ's are only 5% of the population, we seem to have a great deal of them here!

[The_Fnorrll_Reborn]

Oops, my mistake. ESTP, tho they are relatively similar, and i thought the ENTP description had a lot in it that i could relate to, whereas the ESTP is shorter and doesnt seem to click as much.

 

Common ground: I'm fiercly competitive, love to be active, quick thinking and spontaneous.

 

I'll be honest, i feel cheated by the ESTP description :( theres so much less info than the ENTP...I guess a lot of it still applies tho.

 

Changing my poll vote to be accurate.

[MashiraSedai]

It is quite a bit shorter.

 

Fictional character: Heathcliffe

[The_Fnorrll_Reborn]

Im gonna stick with Alexander the Great....

[poetstorm]

I took the test three times and every time scored ENTJ. I'm really, really surprised actually! I don't think I'm the leader type, more of the helper-in-the-background type.

 

Description: (bolded the ones I think fit)

 

decisive, fearless, planner, thrill seeker, engaged, social, self centered, comfortable around others, image conscious, likes to be center of attention, adventurous, outgoing, manipulative, emotionally stable, leader, ambitious, hard working, dominant, prepared, hates to be bored, confident, opinionated, analytical, prepares for worst case scenarios(This one REALLY fits), organized, orderly, clean, driven, resourceful, finishes most things they start, achieving, risk taker, desires fame/acclaim, image focused, narcissistic, arrogant, perfectionist, driven, academic, scientific, critical, avoids giving in to others, does not like to compromise, skeptical

 

But it did say one possible career for this type would be CIA agent. That's just COOL. :D

[Aiel Heart]

Well after taking this twice I will post the result I got both times: ENFP

 

"Journalist". Uncanny sense of the motivations of others. Life is an exciting drama. 8.1% of total population.

 

Hmmmm.....

 

We "are outgoing and warm, and genuinely like people. Some ENFPs have a great deal of zany charm, which can ingratiate them to more stodgy types in spite of their unconventionality."

 

I don't think the next few paragraphs fit me.... I'm actually very good with money. I stick by my old friends more than new ones. I also am active and loud just because I like it here not because I need to be the center of attention...... <.< and once I start a project I finish it, though I may procrastinate a bit. I'm better working on my own than in a group though.....

 

ENFPs are friendly folks. Most are really enjoyable people. Some of the most soft-hearted people are ENFPs.

 

"ENFPs have what some call a "silly switch." They can be intellectual, serious, all business for a while, but whenever they get the chance, they flip that switch and become CAPTAIN WILDCHILD, the scourge of the swimming pool, ticklers par excellence. Som etimes they may even appear intoxicated when the "switch" is flipped." YES :P

 

I've not done any acting.... I like to tell stories and write them... Not much of a journalist, and I like knowing precise numbers for a lot of things. I guess I'm one of the ones that are surprisingly good at math

 

"Friends are what life is about to ENFPs, moreso even than the other NFs. They hold up their end of the relationship, sometimes being victimized by less caring individuals. ENFPs are energized by being around people. Some have real difficulty being alone , especially on a regular basis." I like friends, and....yeah that does happen sometimes. I'm fine being alone too though

 

I overreact but I tend to cool down after a bit and be able to talk/think logically

 

Extraverted iNtuition

"The physical world, both geos and kosmos, is the ENFP's primary source of information. Rather than sensing things as they are, dominant intuition is sensitive to things as they might be. These extraverted intuitives are most adept with patterns and connections. Their natural inclination is toward relationships, especially among people or living things.

Intuition leans heavily on feeling for meaning and focus. Its best patterns reflect the interesting points of people, giving rise to caricatures of manner, speech and expression." Hmmmmm..... Yeah I accept each of these statements....

Introverted Feeling

"Auxiliary feeling is nonverbally implied more often than it is openly expressed. When expressed, this logic has an aura of romance and purity that may seem out of place in this flawed, imperfect world. In its own defense, feeling judgement frequently and fleetly gives way to humor. ENFPs who publicize their feelings too often may put off some of the crowd of friends they naturally attract." Hheheehehehehehe

Extraverted Thinking

Thinking, the process which runs to impersonal conclusions, holds the extraverted tertiary position. Used on an occasional basis, ENFPs may benefit greatly from this ability. Less mature and lacking the polish of higher order functions, Thinking is not well suited to be used as a prominent function. As with other FP types, the ENFP unwary of Thinking's limitations may find themselves most positively mistaken. Hmmmm.... Ok.... Hahahaha yeah that happens sometimes. You learn from when you're wrong though *shrug*

Introverted Sensing

Sensing, the least discernible ENFP function, resides in the inner world where reality is reduced to symbols and icons--ideas representing essences of external realities. Under the influence of the ever-present intuition, the ENFP's sensory perceptions are in danger of being replaced by hypothetical data consistent with pattern and paradigm. When it is protected and nourished, introverted sensing provides information about the fixed. From such firm anchoring ENFPs are best equipped to launch into thousands of plausibilities and curiosities yet to be imagined. Yup

 

Perhaps the combination of introverted Feeling and childlike introverted Sensing is responsible for the silent pull of ENFPs to the wishes of parents, authority figures and friends. Or perhaps it's the predominance of indecisive intuition in combination with the ambiguity of secondary Fi and tertiary Te that induces these kind souls to capitulate even life-affecting decisions. Whatever the dynamic, ENFPs are strongly influenced by the opinions of their friends. I respect the people I should respect, I take the opinions of my friends into account, but I do have a mind of my own too :P

 

Famous ENFPs:

Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)

Theodor "Dr." Seuss Geisel

Carol Burnett

Martin Short, actor-comedian

Robin Williams, actor, comedian

Sandra Bullock, actor

Robert Downey Jr.

Will Smith

I have some fun company!!!

I think this describes me a bit better maybe. I wonder why I got the other one?
