ISFJ. I don't know whether to be pleased or worried...or maybe I just need some time alone to work it out...

I'm an ENTP myself, though I'm RIGHT on the edge of the T/F split. They all make a lot of sense to me, but I have to say this is a rather crude instrument. I am on the whole more extroverted than introverted, sure. And I probably am more intuitive than sensing as well, but when it comes to thinking vs. feeling it gets complicated. It's a context thing mainly, I'm very empathic about a lot of things, but I'm also rational to the point of coldness, mostly with relation to myself. The test interprets this as balance, but it's more like two strong characteristics in conflict. Perceiving vs. judging...again I think I'm more the one than the other, but...it's not always that simple.

Number one career is education though.

And they lumped me in with Feynman and Da Vinci, which is awesome, but Edison? *gags violently*

OK, so Asfa falls in my anima category...(anime?) Which means we fit each others inferior function? Anybody know wtf that means? Because I kinda think it sounds like bullshit.

Iris or Stephanie would make good companions for me...makes sense. Never spoken to you Steph, but cheers!

Purplepolecat and I are opposites?

Naji and I are pals, apparently, or at least we are today. Other times we're....tribesmen? Anji and Claire and I are "tribesmen" as well. So I guess that's a cool tribe to belong to.

Sei and I are advisors to each other...ok, that one actually makes some sense.

I do find it amusing that the extroverts so far are Sei, Iris, Stephanie and...myself. One of these things is not like the others!

EDIT: checking that other thread polecat mentioned reveals that there was some OTHER asshole named stormcrow that posted over there...eerie...clearly not me though, since that guy was an INFJ, nearly opposite of me. Go figure.

Also a fun bit of banter with Yasha, who I miss terribly.

Anima is supposed to be the "female psyche" inside a man.

Maybe that makes you Storm's... inner self? Or maybe you are actually the female version of Storm, and Storm is the male version of you.

I got ISFP, I guess it's somewhat accurate in my case.

That makes two of us!!!

Huh... so according to this...

as an INSP:

Pal: ESFP
Complement: ISFJ
Contrast: ESFJ
Supplement: INTJ
Anima: ENTJ
Suitemate: INFJ
Cohort: ENFJ
Companion: ISTP
Tribesman: ESTP
Advisor: ISTJ
Pedagogue: ESTJ
Enigma: INTP
Novelty: ENTP
Neighbor: INFP
Counterpart: ENFP

So... Storm's my collectible item? O_O

I'm guessing "anima" here is being used as in "animosity," since the traits of your anima are the exact opposite of your own.  Not necessarily that they're your enemy, but that they oppose you.

And Sei would be my cohort. I wonder what that means.

In other note, my sister and I turn out to be each other's supplements. This makes perfect sense because we do make up for each other's shortcomings with our strength. She's the scientific, strategic mastermind, and I'm the artistic, writing-expressive...somebody

Congrats! The WINNERS of the cosseted privilege of getting to identify as my potential lurve partner as recommended by the internets are *drumroll please*:
Storm, Steph, or Iris.

I'm sure you're all thrilled.

Yes, ma'am! I'd be glad to be "supervised" by you.

The only chance Contrary partners have to get on together well with each other is if they are left alone.

I'm not surprised with the last line. Respect of space is very important to me. I'm territorial after all (besides being the observant). If a person can respect that, he gets the same respect from me. I don't give my trust and friendship automatically to a person at first sight. It takes perhaps a week or so to soften me, which makes people assume that I'm an elitist prick when it's all about respecting territories. I can't just laugh out loud or be a chatterbox in an unfamiliar group because that to me is disrespectful. I study people and their nature (i.e. what makes them smile, what irks them, so forth and so on) so I don't end up annoying them and/or hurt them unintentionally.

Apparently if someone else is present we compete with each other, trying to outshine the other and flaunt our strong side. So that makes us competing rogues? Heh.

I don't see you as that at all. You're in fact a sweetheart. *hugs* Frankly, I despise senseless competitions. I believe that we can all be the best that we can be without using another as a stepping stone.

I'm curious as to who I can have non-sucky relations with in any way at all.
It can't be all of you...it must be this crap personality! The INFJ of relationship-death! (luckily less than 1% of the population and its the rarest type out there...you can kinda see why. They don't get the chance to breed. Where's my wine? I need a drink. )

If it helps, I personally don't put my faith in tests and meme(s) stating a person's personality. Not one person can tell who we truly are because I strongly believe that only you can tell who you are. My lady crush (in real time) happens to be INTJ; but whether we're compatible or not (according to these psychological tests) doesn't mean I will spoil the chance of getting acquainted with her. These results are just words; true compatibility is learned through exchange of genuine affection and the many ways to express yourself.

Hiraku: Being your cohort means that I can be your partner in crime.

Completely understand that here. I don't see how some couples can suffocate each other so much. People can be in love without clinging to each other constantly. In fact, space can help understanding to grow. It allows people to be individuals with a connection, without being a codependent unit.

Quoted for truth.

Edited to add missing word.

I am necroing this thread so we can compare the results with what you got on spoon-san's SLOAN test.

Jung Typology Test

Here are the possible personality types.

ENFJ - The Givers
ENFP - The Inspirers
ENTJ - The Executives
ENTP - The Visionaries

ESFP - The Performers
ESFJ - The Caregivers
ESTP - The Doers
ESTJ - The Guardians

INFJ - The Protectors
INFP - The Idealists
INTJ - The Scientists
INTP - The Thinkers

ISFP - The Artists
ISFJ - The Nurturers
ISTP - The Mechanics
ISTJ - The Duty Fulfillers

I found that depending on the day, I will either get the result of  INTP - The Thinker or  ISTP - The Mechanic.

Mine: rcueI and INTP

blah, blah, blah on spoon's part:

I like the idea, but imo, I think the test on humanmetrics is sub-par (as in making generalizations), but I tend to see most tests as severely limiting all too often but are good at giving someone a clue.  similar minds test is slightly better but may be too much like the sloan test ith the questions, though I go by a system which alternates from MBTI and grows very complex (but is superior, in my book,  but that's all I will publicly say on it, not that it would be of most people's interest or benefit anyways), but that's off topic.

Anyways, my sloan is currently rcue'I' and has always been that though sometimes I am stronger on calmness...but anyways...not to get terribly irrelevant.

Anyways, humanmetrics: I(78) N(75) T(62) P(33) - INTP.  This result is accurate.  I used to exclusively test as INFP, however, some years back, not really taking an objective look at how I actually come across to others (I may have kind sentiments but find great difficulties in the adequate expression of such.).

On the other one:

Introverted (I) 69.7% Extroverted (E) 30.3%
Intuitive (N) 65.79% Sensing (S) 34.21%
Thinking (T) 69.7% Feeling (F) 30.3%
Perceiving (P) 74.29% Judging (J) 25.71%

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

I leave the statistics out because there is no reasonable way to establish even remotely accurate statistics on a fairly new typology system.

So rcueI with INTP.   the sloan type rcuei is supposed to primarily correlate with INTP and of course it makes sense as high levels of inquisitiveness, for instance, is usually a good indication of being stronger in intuitive cognitive processes.  It really depends on your most constant and most natural and comfortable mode of Jungian cognition since everyone is going to express different cognitive processes at different times, but usually there is a preference that wins out.  Though I recommend to take this with a grain of salt.  Some people take this to the nth degree to where they forget how to be themselves and to let others be themselves and it's very sad to see.

K, I'm done rambling. (I've researched Jungian psych--not to be confused with MBTI-- for a good five years, so I tend to ramble forever if I am not careful in restraining myself.  I'm not trying to sound like a know it all by any means...more like me nerdgasming which is never pretty.).

(final edit:  nvm, I realize some people linked to socionics.com...a site I do not have much respect for at all.  I have studied socionics for five years.  It has little to do with MBTI and is a rather complex typology system and is virtually unknown and little understood in the West.  I have found some of its findings to be astonishing but potentially destructive though incredibly useful if used ethically and with understanding...which most people who study it do not.  Not recommended.  I know and sometimes work with many experts on it, though, despite it maybe being 'the devil's work.'  But MBTI and socionics are not mutually compatible, just to point that out.)
