Myers Briggs Test

@psycoskunk Said

Instead of Myers Briggs, we used the True Colors Personality Test. I'm not too sure if MB is used in other parts of Canada, but for BC it seemed to be True Colors. I've taken the test about 4 different times now (once in high school, three times over the course of different job placement programs) and my results have always come back practically the same. Blue, Green/Orange (the only variable. Usually it's Green then Orange, but I've had it Orange, then Green before too) and finally Gold.

Authentic Blue: Emotionally driven, sympathetic, creative, entertaining, group harmony, leans towards more artistic career choices.

Scientific Green: Logically driven, analytical, focused, inquisitive, independent thinker, leans towards more science/technological career choices.

Resourceful Orange: Short-term driven, impulsive, hands-on, competitive, welcomes change/variety, leans towards hands on/physical career choices.

Organized Gold: Loyalty driven, organized, responsible, respects authority/rules, handles money well, leans towards business-oriented careers.

My True Colors Results are: (drum roll please!)

Green- 100%!!!
Blue- 84%
Gold- 76%
Orange-52%

Out of the list of green traits, the ones that most peg me are: Analytical, Curious, Free thinking, Intellectual, Philosophical

Thanks for the input Skunky!!! Perhaps you can take the MB test to see how you compare? This test goes well with my INFJ results.

So what colour is it better to be?

@psycoskunk Said

I'll have to check it out, for sure. I remember them mentioning the MB test, but I don't think we ever did.



There's no 'better' colour. It's just a measurement of your preferences in terms of life goals and what you personally find important.

I guess it's a good thing they call it Myers Briggs, rather than Briggs Myers.

If you said you took a BM test, people might get the wrong idea

@EnigmaticConundrum Said

What are your thoughts on this personality test? And if you've taken it, what are you?

I am an INFJ/INTJ. I say both because I've taken the test multiple times in my life and gotten them both equally.

For those who don't know much about it, Jung and Myers developed this test to group people into 16 different personality types. It is based on the following premises:

*How people focus their attention or get their energy (Extraversion or Introversion)

*How people perceive or take in information (Sensing or Intuition)

*How people prefer to make decisions (Thinking or Feeling)

*How people orient themselves to the external world (Judgment or Perception)


Studies show that it's roughly 75% accurate. I agree. Do you?

@Ratty Said

I've taken the MB test several times over a couple year time frame and I always score INTJ. I've taken other personality test and score a similar pattern.

I guess I'm an INTJ. We have a few traits that I don't care for when I read the INTJ descriptions and I have them, unfortunately but it is what it is. We can modify our behavior a bit, but at the end of the day we are who we are.

@EnigmaticConundrum Said

Ahh a fellow introvert!!

It's actually one of the rarer types. Which traits do you dislike? That people perceive us as arrogant, unfeeling, and anti social? What's not to like?! Lmao! I volley between INFJ and INTJ because I feel a great deal but suppress it a majority of the time. I agree that we can and should modify our behaviour where it pertains to dealing with other people. I do try to get along with everyone if at all possible. And you are right, at the end of the day we are who we are. We might as well love ourselves!

@Ratty Said

How we come off a bit cool and I tend to be less demonstrative of my feelings, I tend to be a bit too analytical at times. I'm actually a funny guy but reading the INTJ descriptions I don't get "funny" if you know what I mean. LOL.

My SO is an INFJ which is pretty close, just the thinking part get replaced with "feeling" but that's ok, we'll forgive her for not being an over thinker. LOL.

@EnigmaticConundrum Said

That is interesting! I can see how that could happen tho. I will never be an E. Lol I'm one of the most introverted people I know!

What do you attribute to the change?

@secretagentmango Said

I'd say it's probably attributed to the people I surround myself with.

My high school circle was mostly composed of introverted, more soft spoken folk. But after graduation, we all ended up going to different colleges that are really far from each other, so now my primary circle is way different. I now hang out with a lot of outspoken, more rowdy (for lack of better term) people, so I guess I kind of took on their energy the more I hung out with them
