Introvert(33%) iNtuitive(100%) Feeling(12%) Judging(56%)
  • You have moderate preference of Introversion over Extraversion (33%)
  • You have strong preference of Intuition over Sensing (100%)
  • You have slight preference of Feeling over Thinking (12%)
  • You have moderate preference of Judging over Perceiving (56%)

Edit : anyone else think a lot of the questions are redundant? There were quite a few where i couldn't see myself answering an option in question X without answering another option in question Y as if they could've been combined.

This is to ensure you are giving reliable answers. If you gave two different answers to what are basically the same question, it would probably not weigh in as much in the scoring. I dont think they measure use this unreliability data to calculate the scoring though, I believe its more of a standard practise in psychological tests to get accurate answers.

I've found more information about myself from personality tests than IQ tests. You find out things about yourself that you might not even have been sure about before.

I am talking about proper personality tests, not "what Lord Of The Rings character are you?" tests on farcebook. Look up something like the Myers Briggs test for example.

I'd never heard of the MB test until now! Apparently:

  • You have marginal or no preference of Extraversion over Introversion (1%)
  • You have distinct preference of Intuition over Sensing (62%)
  • You have strong preference of Thinking over Feeling (88%)
  • You have moderate preference of Perceiving over Judging (56%)

I wonder how average I am for a site like gamedev.net?

I too would expect recurrent patterns at least among programmers. For instance I would expect most programmers to have at least some preference of intuition over sensing and thinking over feeling, programming tending to require the application of logic, rational thinking, and pattern matching. The other two attributes could be much more variable, however. These are my results:

INTJ
Introvert(67%) iNtuitive(25%) Thinking(38%) Judging(1%)
  • You have distinct preference of Introversion over Extraversion (67%)
  • You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (25%)
  • You have moderate preference of Thinking over Feeling (38%)
  • You have marginal or no preference of Judging over Perceiving (1%)

“If I understand the standard right it is legal and safe to do this but the resulting value could be anything.”

I don't really like how they antagonize concepts that aren't on the same plane.

When they ask if you care for "justice" over "mercy", what if i don't think they lie on the same plane? I can't think of a situation where you'd pick one over the other but instead each of them separately.

While introversion and extraversion are clearly at the end of a scale judging and perceiving are clearly not, why would getting closer to one pull you further from the other? They're unrelated. Same comment for thinking and feeling, one doesn't prevent the other.
