HW 54

So I took the test, and I got this

Introverted (I) 51.61% Extroverted (E) 48.39%
Intuitive (N) 67.86% Sensing (S) 32.14%
Thinking (T) 65.63% Feeling (F) 34.38%
Perceiving (P) 56.25% Judging (J) 43.75%

Your type is: INTP

INTP - "Architect". Greatest precision in thought and language. Can readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. The world exists primarily to be understood. 3.3% of total population.


I don't know how useful this was to me, but it did show that I'm consistent with my responses. A few weeks ago in math, we took a similar 4 question long personality test, and I got the same exact results.
However, what caught my attention was how close introverted and extroverted were. I guess I'm more aware of my surroundings then what I had initially thought, and not just in an analytical manner.
For perceiving vs judgment, I thought the results would be a bit farther apart then what they are. I thought I usually just went with what I had to work with, but apparently this does not seem to be the case.


As for what Andy mentioned in class about personality tests being a fancier horoscope, I feel that I kind of agree to an extent. Unlike horoscopes, which are based on celestial activity, personality tests actually make a person open up a bit to see what they're like, so personality tests could potentially be more accurate then a horoscope. But that's just me, I guess. Maybe personality tests really are like horoscopes, where they coincide with some people, and go completely astray with others. I remember being amazed with how close some of my horoscopes have been, and I also remember thinking how ridiculously wrong they were at other times. Maybe I haven't taken enough personality tests just yet to see this.

Homework 53 - survey analysis

Part 2
Taking the survey was a pretty interesting experience. It made me catch myself on things where I was pretty weak at, and made me kind of nervous. Yup, contrary to popular belief, I'm pretty soft deep down. Just about a few certain things, so no one's really seen it, but that soft spots there. Anyways, I pushed through anyway.

A lot of the questions I ended up hesitating on were the ones that kind of made me dig deep down to the real me who's been buried under a bunch of different personalities. Particularly, a lot of the short response questions. I kind of just avoided them completely since I felt really awkward, despite the survey being completely anonymous.

I would just look at these questions, and I really had no idea how to answer them. I wasn't sure which mask's point of view I should answer them from. And it made me realize, I'm completely unstable, I don't even know which mask most closely represents the real me.

Well that's it... I think
