Socionics test

[lI]

In Socionics, INTj corresponds to INTP in MBTI. The difference is that Socionics draws much more from Jung's ideas than MBTI does. MBTI is a very cheap rendition of Jung's personality theory. Socionics is quite interesting, yet not perfect. I draw the best parts out of all the different interpretations and go with that. This test is far better than any other test out there, except perhaps for Dario Nardi's Keys2Cognition test.

I got that INTj in this test and I have to say that I didn't like the test at all. Tests which only require selecting one trait or aspect at a time make much more sense while this one attempted to make people chose between two elaborate multilayered statements in each question. What to chose when only a part of the 1st statement applies dead on and another part doesn't apply at all while the 2nd is just kind of "off" in full, how to chose between the two? Many of those 55 questions were like that.

According to MBTI, I'm right in between ENTP & INTP.


The results from this one:

Your Sociotype: LII-1Ti (INTj)

Using introverted thinking as his base function and extroverted intuition as his creative, the LII is adept at creating a concept of reality through the synthesis and application of preformulated principles and rules. When formulating new principles, the LII methodically analyzes new information, taking the salient aspects and discarding the extraneous. Staying within the boundaries of his principles, the LII is capable of generating new ideas and possibilities of how the world could work. At its best, this ability gives the LII an aura of confidence and insightfulness into areas of abstraction and possibility that many other types don't have; at its worst, this ability may lead the LII to possibilities so impractical or unreachable that he is perceived as others to be out of touch with reality. Additionally, the LIIs inclination for deep isolated thoughts often leaves him disconnected from societal interaction--as if he is constantly an observer but never a participant.
Other Possible Types

1. ILE (ENTp): 99% as likely as LII.
   
2. ILI (INTp): 86% as likely as LII.
3. LSI (ISTj): 78% as likely as LII.

The results from this one:

The problems with the MBTI approach is that it's inconsistent with Jung's personality theory. Socionics isn't completely consistent with Jung either, but more so than the MBTI. That's why I prefer Dario Nardi's test (see second paragraph). Socionics is consistent when it comes to terminology, though. INTj corresponds to INTP in MBTI. INTP is really a dominant judger since it predominantly uses a judging function: Ti (introverted thinking). In MBTI terms, the last letter is a denotion of extroversion of judging function. With that said, I agree that the questions could have been better, while maintaining that it's better than the MBTI. Many of the questions are difficult to answer because of what you said and because the options didn't exclude the other. I found myself thinking that I fit in both categories plenty of times. The questions that selects your letters, not the introversion or extroversion of your functions, are quite good, though.

I mentioned Dario Nardi and his test. Dario Nardi studied the relation between the brain and Jung's functions of mind (personality functions). He found no correlation between MBTI traits and brain regions, in spite of the fact that MBTI is an off-shoot of Jung's theory - an incredibly poor one, in my opinion. However, he did find a relationship between Jung's theory of personality functions and regions in the brain. More on his work.

What your scores tells you is that you are an INTP, 99% as likely ENTP, 86% as likely INTJ and 78% as likely ISTP. So your socionics score is consistent with your MBTI score.

INFp (INFJ in MBTI terms) is the rarest of all types and more common in women than men.

Am I gay?

[Herr Abubu]

Am I gay?

I have no idea. You should make a couple of threads about it, it's a time-proven method.

Spoiler!

Women are on average more feeling than men. You're probably not gay.

I'm an INTP bordering on INTJ, according to MBTI. I'll come back after taking that Socionics thing.

Told you so. I expected INTP, but I got INTJ. Honestly, in my experience, it mostly relies on my mood at the moment I take the test. I'm poorly tempered and I can change a lot from a moment to another.

Nota bene : I voted INTP before taking the test, but that's well. I absolutely hate being like anyone else.

Ok, now this very rational LII has one very stupid question. What's the difference between LII-2Ti and LII-1Ti !? Because most LII's got 1Ti, unlike me.

I always get LII or ILE on this thing.
