... still likr your avatar wrote the INFJ. Thought I'd see if some of you newer folks were interested in the ol'Myers-Briggs. It's kinda slipped out of favor lately although a lot of churches use it for spiritual direction/formation work still.

Fairly recently when taking a Myers-Briggs test and presenting my results to a couple of Discord groups I learned from one of said groups something along the lines of the Myers-Briggs test was developed by the military and went on to be used as a tool for employers to gauge potential employees' compatibility with their jobs, and then gained popularity with the internet, and is little more than pseudoscience.

For a pseudoscience, it's ability to categorise personality and it's accuracy are highly priased among almost all of the people who use it.

So, having said all of that, here's what I got...

Architect. Yeah, that tracks with how much I absolutely LOVE games that let you build stuff. Minecraft, Cities: Skylines, Rimworld, you name it, I most likely love it! and I tend to be pretty OCD with my builds, planning them out to an extreme degree to make sure they're the best they can be. Not necessarily in terms of how nice they look, but certainly how functionally efficient they are.

You know, I remember taking that test back in the 60s. Wish I remembered the results.

You can always take it again and say THOSE are your original results. Who is gonna know that they aren't? ;)

Besides, it’s a very long time since, and time has a tendency of changing people. No matter the age, we grow.

Think I'd have to be on active duty to do that now. Twenty-one years was enough. ;) :roll: :lol:

Truth be told, Amazz, I think they dropped it quite some time ago. The military is having a hard time recruiting these days ... for a variety of reasons.

No the way you posted made it sound like that the only way you could take the test was by enlisting.

Guess the comment suggests that, and that's not true. I did take it again, part of helping a friend in college administer the test in a Freshman group.
Still INFJ after all these years (sounds like a Simon-Garfunlke song, don't it?)

It may indeed sound like one but it could be one of their better songs. Not as big and successful as Bridge Over Troubled Water though. LOL
