Personality types

[Redwaller]

I did the Keirsey test too. And got

Artisans are the temperament with a natural ability to excel in any of the arts, not only the fine arts such as painting and sculpting, or the performing arts such as music, theater, and dance, but also the athletic, military, political, mechanical, and industrial arts, as well as the "art of the deal" in business.

Artisans are most at home in the real world of solid objects that can be made and manipulated, and of real-life events that can be experienced in the here and now. Artisans have exceptionally keen senses, and love working with their hands. They seem right at home with tools, instruments, and vehicles of all kinds, and their actions are usually aimed at getting them where they want to go, and as quickly as possible. Thus Artisans will strike off boldly down roads that others might consider risky or impossible, doing whatever it takes, rules or no rules, to accomplish their goals. This devil-may-care attitude also gives the Artisans a winning way with people, and they are often irresistibly charming with family, friends, and co-workers.

Artisans want to be where the action is; they seek out adventure and show a constant hunger for pleasure and stimulation. They believe that variety is the spice of life, and that doing things that aren't fun or exciting is a waste of time. Artisans are impulsive, adaptable, competitive, and believe the next throw of the dice will be the lucky one. They can also be generous to a fault, always ready to share with their friends from the bounty of life. Above all, Artisans need to be free to do what they wish, when they wish. They resist being tied or bound or confined or obligated; they would rather not wait, or save, or store, or live for tomorrow. In the Artisan view, today must be enjoyed, for tomorrow may never come.

There are many Artisans, perhaps 30 to 35 percent of the population, which is good, because they create much of the beauty, grace, fun, and excitement the rest of us enjoy in life.

Crafters (ISTP) tend to be masters of using tools. They are quick to learn the methods and procedures of how to work with them, and how they can apply these skills in emergencies and crisis. They are really good at learning how to operate machines, instruments, and equipment with great precision and expertise. Crafters even sometimes use their own bodies as a tool, by becoming an expert in skilled movement or vocal control. Though they may choose to master tools over long periods, Crafters never stop "playing" with them. You, as a Crafter, tend to be fearless in work or play, willing to take risks that others would shy away from.

This is the Keirsey test. This one is 50/50. If you look at Artisan, I am mostly like that, except for some things like an outgoing person. But the Crafter describes me perfectly.

Was I the only one that did the Keirsey test?  I'm the only one without a kooky acronym for an answer.

I've actually done an "official test" before, so that is where I got my "type" from.

The best online test I've taken is this one.

[Romsca]

So how long do these take?

[Redwaller]

Depends on how ready you are to answer. Some questions can take a while, wilst others take a second to answer.

[Romsca]

What kind of questions are there?

*1700th post!*

[Maudie]

Just stuff like "do you draw energy from being around other people?" Etc.

[Romsca]

I took some of these in speech class...

ENTP!!!!

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY INTOVERTS ON THIS WEBSITE I DON'T UNDERSTAND??

Introverts can be boring sorry

Oh and I looked on this one website for other famous/historical people that have my personality type (or so they guess based on what they wrote):

Socrates 
Leonardo da Vinci 
Benjamin Franklin 
Voltaire
Catherine the Great
Werner Heisenberg etc.
Celine Dion
John Stuart Mill
David Hume
Barack Obama etc.
Mao Zedong 

Yeah, a lot of philosophers and smart people

Not ALL of them are good people though (obviously)

Edit: And Machiavelli! How could I possibly forget Machiavelli?

Double edit: Who could forget... RICHARD FEYNMAN WHO INVENTED DISCOVERED LIQUID HYDROGEN!! (the website cannot contain the amount of smileys I want to add)

[The Skarzs]

Interesting.

[Rusvul]

On the Keirsey test, I got INFP, or 'Idealist Healer.' That's somewhat accurate... But not entirely. I'm not as shy or introverted as that would suggest. Interesting, last time I took one of these tests, I would definitely have described myself as an extrovert. I still am, in that I enjoy interacting with friends immensely. But strangers, outside of the computer... Not so much.

[Edraithel]

For the Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test I got
INFP
Introvert: 56%
Intuitive: 25%
Feeling: 25%
Perceiving: 6%

[Romsca]

When I took the test on the human metrics site I got ENTJ (pretty close to the other one except for the P)



I wish I could find more extraverts here on this website...

[Rusvul]

I'm, like, an internet extrovert. Otherwise, I'm not a huge fan of interacting with strangers. Like, gah, these people are all... strange...

[Wylder Treejumper]

I'm a very strong ISTP...

Introverted
Sensing
Thinking
Percieving

[Romsca]

Are there any other extroverts on here? Because I hate I mean really really dislike I mean have a hard time getting along with introverts. Especially feeling type introverts.

[BlueRose]

I'm an ISTP!

I can be an extrovert if I put my mind to it, though.
