E-I personality test results

[Anna23]

So my dears, the scores are counted and I have you all sorted now

In the end 51 users took part in this research, for which they all deserve a big thank you!
The conclusion is that ........ people are messy. Some members took the test twice and got different results each time, so I got an opportunity to play around with the results a little bit and surely my scientific method isnt mistake proof either. People are indeed flawed as one of the most judging members here once told me (hi Morhp).
Please dont take this for granted as we are changing and evolving and moody and more balanced on some days than others, however one thing is for sure and that is that we all have good and bad in us and that what ever we strive to do, we do it with good intentions. The results may not always reflect this but thats another story

What I like the most about this test is, how it shows that we all proccess what we perceive differently. So we should never judge anyone from our own perspective before we try to see things from their point of view. you know, the thing we were all guilty of at one time or another by thinking 'im this way so i expect you to be that way too'. Well, that seems to be the main culprit, that is causing us the most trouble, arguments, wars, hatred, murders...
We may find it difficult to change this but surely its a good starting point to meet the world from the premises of knowing that there is good in the core of all of us and we shall personaly each strive to get the good in us out there.

So here are the E-I results:
1. 9 ENFP (17.6%)
2. 7 ENFJ (13.7%)
3. 5 ISTJ (9.8%)
4. 5 INTJ (9.8%)
5. 4 ESFJ (7.8%)
6. 4 ISFJ (7.8%)
7. 4 ENTJ (7.8%)
8. 3 INFJ (5.9%)
9. 3 ESFP (5.9%)
10. 2 ISTP (3.9%)
11. 2 INFP (3.9%)
12. 2 ISFP (3.9%)
13. 1 ESTP (2%)
14. 0 ENTP (0%)
15. ………0%
16. …….0%

And here for comparison the overall data gathered from 22000 internet users:
1. ISFJ (11.9%)
2. INFP (11.4%)
3. ENFP (11.3%)
4. ISTJ (8.8%)

ENFP – The Inspirer: Naughtynatalie, english tara, doodlebug, lucy chambers, Saoirsemac, gentlemandave, mellors, JAMESCORK, clyde;
ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people, typically very bright and full of potential. They live in the world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. Their enthusiasm lends them the ability to inspire and motivate others, more so than we see in other types. They can talk their way in or out of anything. They love life, seeing it as a special gift, and strive to make the most out of it.
ENFP's natural partner is the INTJ, or the INFJ.


ENFJ – The Giver: takemedrunkimhome, curvaceousKate, Banjaxed, Samlad, Doozer, SamanthaAngelManchester, Chutney
ENFJs are people-focused individuals. They live in the world of people possibilities. More so than any other type, they have excellent people skills. They understand and care about people, and have a special talent for bringing out the best in others. ENFJ's main interest in life is giving love, support, and a good time to other people. They are focused on understanding, supporting, and encouraging others. They make things happen for people, and get their best personal satisfaction from this.
Because ENFJ's people skills are so extraordinary, they have the ability to make people do exactly what they want them to do. They get under people's skins and get the reactions that they are seeking. ENFJ's motives are usually unselfish, but ENFJs who have developed less than ideally have been known to use their power over people to manipulate them.
ENFJ's natural partner is the INFP, or the ISFP


INTJ – The Scientist: Mousey, TheNads, dark-knight, El Gordo, RicFlair;
INTJs live in the world of ideas and strategic planning. They value intelligence, knowledge, and competence, and typically have high standards in these regards, which they continuously strive to fulfill. To a somewhat lesser extent, they have similar expectations of others.
With Introverted Intuition dominating their personality, INTJs focus their energy on observing the world, and generating ideas and possibilities. Their mind constantly gathers information and makes associations about it. They are tremendously insightful and usually are very quick to understand new ideas. However, their primary interest is not understanding a concept, but rather applying that concept in a useful way. Unlike the INTP, they do not follow an idea as far as they possibly can, seeking only to understand it fully. INTJs are driven to come to conclusions about ideas. Their need for closure and organization usually requires that they take some action.
the INTJ's natural partner is the ENFP, or the ENTP


ISTJ – The Duty Fulfiller: harry10, max California, theqm, 69patrick69, Stephanie;

Organized and methodical in their approach, they can generally succeed at any task which they undertake.
ISTJs are very loyal, faithful, and dependable. They place great importance on honesty and integrity. They are "good citizens" who can be depended on to do the right thing for their families and communities. While they generally take things very seriously, they also usually have an offbeat sense of humor and can be a lot of fun - especially at family or work-related gatherings.
the ISTJ's natural partner is the ESFP, or the ESTP


ESFJ – The Caregivers: wolfie, Toolbox, Luna Nueva, Scottish nina;
ESFJs are people persons - they love people. They are warmly interested in others. They use their Sensing and Judging characteristics to gather specific, detailed information about others, and turn this information into supportive judgments. They want to like people, and have a special skill at bringing out the best in others. They are extremely good at reading others, and understanding their point of view. The ESFJ's strong desire to be liked and for everything to be pleasant makes them highly supportive of others. People like to be around ESFJs, because the ESFJ has a special gift of invariably making people feel good about themselves.
ESFJ's natural partner is the ISFP, or the INFP


ISFJ – The Nurturer: Uisce Beatha, Morpheus, Nicole, steady;
ISFJs have a very clear idea of the way things should be, which they strive to attain. They value security and kindness, and respect traditions and laws. They tend to believe that existing systems are there because they work. Therefore, they're not likely to buy into doing things in a new way, unless they're shown in a concrete way why its better than the established method.
the ISFJ's natural partner is the ESTP, or the ESFP


ENTJ – The Executive: Pinkeye, livewire, KellyCurvybabe, Violette;
ENTJs are natural born leaders. They live in a world of possibilities where they see all sorts challenges to be surmounted, and they want to be the ones responsible for surmounting them. They have a drive for leadership, which is well-served by their quickness to grasp complexities, their ability to absorb a large amount of impersonal information, and their quick and decisive judgments. They are "take charge" people.
ENTJ's natural partner is the INTP, or the ISTP.


ESFP – The Performer: Forrest, ksteve, Leggy Leah;

Since they make decisions by using their personal values, they are usually very sympathetic and concerned for other people's well-being. They're usually quite generous and warm. They are very observant about other people, and seem to sense what is wrong with someone before others might, responding warmly with a solution to a practical need. They might not be the best advice-givers in the world, because they dislike theory and future-planning, but they are great for giving practical care.
ESFP's natural partner is the ISTJ, or the ISFJ


INFJ – The Protector: magicalman9357, Anna23, Biblioman;
INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. Only one percent of the population has an INFJ Personality Type, making it the most rare of all the types.
INFJs place great importance on havings things orderly and systematic in their outer world. They put a lot of energy into identifying the best system for getting things done, and constantly define and re-define the priorities in their lives. On the other hand, INFJs operate within themselves on an intuitive basis which is entirely spontaneous. They know things intuitively, without being able to pinpoint why, and without detailed knowledge of the subject at hand. They are usually right, and they usually know it. Consequently, INFJs put a tremendous amount of faith into their instincts and intuitions. This is something of a conflict between the inner and outer worlds, and may result in the INFJ not being as organized as other Judging types tend to be. Or we may see some signs of disarray in an otherwise orderly tendency, such as a consistently messy desk.
Natural partner the ENTP, or the ENFP

ISTP – The Mechanic:sammy22, bumleg;

ISTPs have an adventuresome spirit. They are attracted to motorcycles, airplanes, sky diving, surfing, etc. They thrive on action, and are usually fearless. ISTPs are fiercely independent, needing to have the space to make their own decisions about their next step. They do not believe in or follow rules and regulations, as this would prohibit their ability to "do their own thing". Their sense of adventure and desire for constant action makes ISTPs prone to becoming bored rather quickly.
the ISTP's natural partner is the ESTJ, or the ENTJ


INFP – the Idealist: LeatherHeaven, Deven;
INFPs, more than other iNtuitive Feeling types, are focused on making the world a better place for people. Their primary goal is to find out their meaning in life. What is their purpose? How can they best serve humanity in their lives? They are idealists and perfectionists, who drive themselves hard in their quest for achieving the goals they have identified for themselves
INFPs are highly intuitive about people. They rely heavily on their intuitions to guide them, and use their discoveries to constantly search for value in life. They are on a continuous mission to find the truth and meaning underlying things. Every encounter and every piece of knowledge gained gets sifted through the INFP's value system, and is evaluated to see if it has any potential to help the INFP define or refine their own path in life. The goal at the end of the path is always the same - the INFP is driven to help people and make the world a better place.
INFP's natural partner is the ENFJ, or the ESFJ.

People who don't know them well may see their unique way of life as a sign of carefree light-heartedness, but the ISFP actually takes life very seriously, constantly gathering specific information and shifting it through their value systems, in search for clarification and underlying meaning.
