Ready to be the sole judge of what kind of personality you have? 16personalities.comI am INTJ, coming in with: 96% introverted  60% intuitive65% thinking61% judging71% turbulentI don't really consider myself *that* introverted, but I spent two straight hours last night staring at a wall while people made small talk - occasionally trying to get *me* to engage in small talk at which point I'd fight back the urge to yell out "your senseless babble has no purpose and its very aimlessness aggravates me to end, so please leave me out of it." So maybe I'm that introverted after all. As for other parts of the personality, I'm very judgmental, but this keeps insisting that I should think that rules and structures are stupid. I believe that clearly structured rules are vital, and the backbone of any working institution, relationship or organism. "Sentiment, tradition, and emotion are Architects’ weaknesses, and social gestures that seem not to have a clear purpose are often viewed by Architects as silly, even insulting."  I do not understand hand shakes, they mean nothing. Stop greeting me with "what's up." I do not know how to respond to such an illogical, idiotic question. In general, these sorts of social games drive me nuts. If you have something to say, say it, then work out whatever needs to be worked out. On the whole, I'll say I mostly agree with the test? Theoretically, a lot of it is spot on. I'm a firm believer in meritocracy determining positions and ABHOR the schmoozers who get their place (deserved or not) through their social skills. Talking through subjects from different angles is enjoyable and necessary, so long as we know what our end game is. All the stuff about personal relationships is pretty accurate, because dealing with people who are acting on their feelings makes me want to punch them - and punch myself when I find myself doing the same thing, it is so, so aggravating. I'm mainly getting caught up in the assumption that I don't like structure. I love structure. Nothing works without structure and rules and guidelines. We can adjust and discuss those guidelines if there is an issue, but rules make everything work. Without rules, there would be no *existence.* |

Type “The Logician” (INTP-A) Traits
Introverted - 72%Intuitive - 52%Thinking - 69%Prospecting - 58%Assertive - 54%
Role Analyst Strategy Confident Individualism No idea what all this bullshit means, but these are vague. I'm not an emotional dude. I can't sympathize with people who have powerful and overwhelming emotions. I always trust my judgment and senses. But I don't care for whining, and I can't listen to emotionally driven discourse. So I agree with you there. And I also find small talk boring. I go off of more of a social vibe, and I prefer socializing with women because they definitely have the more magnetic and down-to-earth social vibes and cues. I have a huge aversion to men generally. They're so dumb, and their conversations are way too impersonal. It's always some Linklater/Waking Life-esque bullshit or just unfunny immature vibes I get or some misplaced aggression that spurs from something minor, though occasionally guys can be very smart. It's clear they sometimes think things through. The smartest guys are definitely smarter than the smartest women. The ideals and views they sometimes have make me go... "whoa shitttt." And all these questions about wanting to meet people doesn't separate different circumstances. When it's attractive people....... sureeeeeee. But it's all about wanting to bang them, of course.  That's the most important thing. My theme song: |

And all these questions about wanting to meet people doesn't separate different circumstances. When it's attractive people....... sureeeeeee. But it's all about wanting to bang them, of course. Socializing? Vibes? Look, everyone is dumb and shallow, that's why I have an aversion to speaking with anybody. Speaking to a purpose is good. If we're gathered together, let there be some sort of structure to it so I'm not stuck sitting around for two hours with people asking me why I'm not eating and tacitly asking why I'm not speaking. I'm not eating because I'm not hungry, and there are only seven people here, everyone heard me say that I'm not hungry three times already, don't be disingenuous. I'm not speaking because I have nothing to say until we actually discuss what I thought we were supposed to be discussing!  Point is, I don't care what people have to say unless there's a clear purpose to it. In this case, we're discussing personality tests, we can get away with being self indulgent. I have to ask: attractive people? Wanting to interact? True story: I was a young teenager, and my crush sat down next to me on a very long bus ride. This girl was an amazon, absolutely gorgeous. And then she spoke. And she spoke. And she spoke. To be fair to her, she wasn't being awful, and she seemed to actually want to engage in a conversation as opposed to a monologue. She was nice. I was cured of my crush by the end of the bus ride. I wasn't interested in anything she had to say. I spent the whole time wishing that she'd leave, because her babbling, well intentioned as it may be, was still babbling. She even had the sense to apologize to me afterwards, when I made a remark thanking the bus driver for putting up with a group of "annoying teenagers" that she thought was aimed at her. It wasn't, but that shows how sharp she was. I still couldn't stand her, but she was sharp. |

Martin StettYes,the girl was sharp. Girls do that often... When they want to get rid of an unwanted admirer, they just act in a way that annoys him, looking totally natural.

Martin Stett Yes,the girl was sharp. Girls do that often... When they want to get rid of an unwanted admirer, they just act in a way that annoys him, looking totally natural. You know how to make a guy feel swell.  I've never been much for looks, so I've mostly been mercifully left alone. I like engaging with people, but this whole hormones raging dating scene has always been confusing to me. I don't understand how people even get to the point where they feel like it is worth initiating something. Maybe if you're already close friends. Maybe. But then, my ideal of a perfect evening is a handmade dinner, a spin of something in my vinyl collection, and a brief walk in the woods if the weather is good for it. I can't imagine anybody spoiling that experience by *conversation.* |

Interesting breakdown. I've made a lot of personal changes and discoveries over the last year so many of my answers have gone in another direction.

Not sure what is "new" about this but I always get INFP ("Mediator") type. I think they just revamped the website to make the results look more striking, with further reading that is easier to access.  |
