Re: Have you Taken the Briggs-Myer personality test?

Thanks for finding the original thread, Numbercruncher. My search failed to turn it up.

Moderators: could you perhaps combine these into a single thread as it's an interesting topic?

Thanks.

Re: Have you Taken the Briggs-Myer personality test?

While we're on the subject of personality, it would be interesting to hear members' opinions on whether they believe their current personality is essentially genetic or a result of their learned experiences, i.e. the everlasting "nature/nurture" debate.

For myself, I'd say I'm about fifty/fifty, but in, say, my 20's would have been 80% nature and 20% experience.

I'd be really interested to know how others see themselves in this area.

ENFJ

I have always known that I don't fit the standard accounting personality trait. Interesting, because about 90% or more of the profession have the same type. Explains why I feel different from most ppl around me.

The description was fairly on the mark too, so it looks right.

Julia, I would say that my personality is almost all personal experiences. Just me though, I certainly know many ppl that you have to say are almost 100% genetic.

Cheers

Hmmm
I knew that, intuitively.
A teepee please!

ENTJ myself 'Field Marshal" hmmmmmmmmmmm.
Was a recent BHP employee and they appeared to target the individual, go getting self starting problem solver type where I was. Problem is there weren't any indians to actually implement anything and the cerebral completion of a concept appeared to be a satisfactory outcome
Meanwhile the place was falling down around us and another action team was formed for the next production bottleneck.

Julia- I'm 35 in a week and would say 50 : 50 re: the nature/nurture question.
I think an important qualifier must be time within and without the nest, be it a pos or neg environment.
 
Re: Have you Taken the Briggs-Myer personality test?

Guess if we say we are the sum of our past experiences, then we lean towards nurture. (Id say 50%, wild guess). But I think that TV show "Seven Up" would say that there's a lot of nature involved as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Up!
The premise of the film was taken from the Jesuit motto "Give me a child until he is seven and I will give you the man," which is based on a quote by Francis Xavier.

That "Seven Up" programme was one of the best ever made. Still relevant and interesting all these years later.

Re: Myers Briggs personality type

lol - this is reminding me of something that happened a long time ago .. We had a "computer ball" when I was at Uni in the 60's. (when computers used punchcards). A computer was used to match up people as "ideal dates". The first question was " do you or don't you?". and after that it got personal lol - like "religion? politics? recreation activities? etc"
Anyway, one of my mates ended up marrying his date - 7 kids later etc lol.
another "couple" were "divorced" soon after saying hello , lol. (it was funny at the time, but maybe you had to be there)

I asked the bloke who wrote the program what were his three main criteria in matching personalities? - he said - "politics, politics, and politics" lol.

I'm the only INFP so far

I wonder if there is a correlation between personality type and trading style.

So as a fellow INFJ'er along with Julia, I am just tracking through your posts to see if you are true to your title...:

(Must be a lot of rocking horses around...)
 
Re: Myers Briggs personality type

I'm an INFJ too!

As a rare type, why are there so many (4 of us)?

I feel like I am not influential enough. Things seem obvious sometimes and you feel you should give advice but know one will listen.

Maybe the stockmarket lets us have control and plays to our liking of theories.
 
Re: Myers Briggs personality type

Rocking horses indeed
everyone claiming to be rare ? lol
and introverts? - what constable? prospector? knobby? lol
next time answer the questions after a beer, lol. see what you get

PS Knobby, I know that noone will listen to me either - starting with the kids
- but do I giv a shinbone lol.
 
Re: Myers Briggs personality type

And maybe the internet allows us introverts to become extroverts
 
Re: Myers Briggs personality type



The entire concept of Introvert is often miscomprehended ......



I beleive statistically around 25pc of the population are Introverts, as a comparison, Extroverts are generally energised from being around other people.
