I guess...some additional thing was added...

INTJ with a welded on brain -> mouth filter.
It's how I still have friends.

@Nic said:
INTJ, the rarest and best one
Is that you?
Yeah, the joke is that INTJ's are full of themselves, and therefore think theirs is the best. I'm INTJ and my wife is ESFP, which is opposite on every quadrant. We read up on the matching of that pairing in marriage and it said "this pairing is so rare as to be of only academic interest"
INTJ, i agree.

So apparently I've changed since I first took this test...
I got the same thing. But I bet it would be different if I took it next week again.

Just did again and got INTP-A so perhaps im not such a jerk, unless you do something incorrect.

INTJ
-
Campaigner (ENFP, -A/-T)
Don’t Lose That ’Little Spark of Madness’ <- now that's the best part of it

I don't put much stock in this, but the tests are fun.

@Son-of-Jor-El this is a bit of an informal site, but I've worked for companies that paid for the big tests of this and the results were required to be on everyone's profiles that you saw anytime that you worked with them (no joke.) It was a bit extreme but let me tell you, when done well they are incredibly accurate, far more than you would ever imagine, and really help with letting people know how to interact with each other. It was so valuable that I've carried it on to many other jobs. I recommend them highly.

My previous job required us to do these as well. I really don't know how they used them and they said it wasn't to find out if you should work with who you worked with but I don't think you can sum up everyone on about a dozen question. Just my $0.02. Another $1.98 gets you a cup of coffee (small size, of course LOL)

That's why it's not a dozen questions, it's like 500 for a real test.

It's hours, but well worth it. The results are insanely accurate, I could not believe it. I learned so much about myself and other people that I work with from those tests. Seriously worth every second and the hundreds of dollars that was spent per employee to do it.

I find even this free version very valuable as a manager. Without it there would be lots of trail and error getting to learn how someone works and why they interact the way they do.
This gives me a headstart in piecing someone into our team.

Trials as well!

Even these with very few questions tend to be relatively accurate. But you can see how "loose" it is when people like AJ see variations in results just a year or two apart. A good test would normally show almost zero change over decades. People do change, but extremely little normally and only over great periods of time.

Yeah but in all fairness, I've changed a lot in the past two years, far more than is common, in some very fundamental ways...

Changing behavior based on experience is not the same as changing personality traits. The MB test is for traits, not behavior.

What I've been through the past two years changed me at a fundamental level, which didn't just affect my behavior, but who I really am as a person. I'm not surprised that it changed. I actually would have been more surprised if it hadn't...
