These personality surveys actually test what we think about ourselves, not how we actually are. Maybe it would be better if someone who knows us very well filled in the survey for us. But then what is tested is observable behaviour, rather than personality characteristics.

And that leads us to an old debate: whether a man's character is the sum of his actions, or whether the self is something innate and independent of the external world.

Why the interest, OP?

This is me.

ESFJ-A

Strong practical skills, strong sense of duty, very loyal, sensitive and warm, good at connecting with others.

"For lack of a better term...popular."

I guess that makes sense. I was an army brat, moved around a lot, always made friends. In high school I played sports, but was friends with people in all different groups, kinda like Ferris Bueller.

Whoa.
I can’t say for sure, but maybe you do.
Great post. I have to think about what you said.
Hold please.

If the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is everything that many people claim it is, then you should be able to identify the type for many people on this Forum.

Are you willing to give it a try? MBTI assigns one of 16 categories based on binary measurements in four dimensions. Given uniform distributions you should, on average, be able to identify two out of the four by random guessing - you would have to consistently identify three or four traits to give credibility to the theory behind MBTI. Of course, the promoters of MBTI admit that the distributions are NOT uniform, so by "playing the odds" (i.e., biasing your guesses in favor of the more prevalent types) you should be able to improve your accuracy.

In the end, there are not 16 types of people, but only two: Those who accept the diversity and uniqueness among individuals, and those who think that people can be pigeon-holed into 16 categories.

In both real world and online tests of varying degrees of length and depth, INFP is the most common. I do hit INFJ, INTP, and I think only once INTJ. I'm hard on the IN, strong FP with a noticeable bit of TJ.

My meme choice for you is:

Do you relate ?

I've taken an MBTI clinically and also online. All the results were always the same, but I tend to not give online tests any credence. I prefer to view the profiles as a guideline or general description of the personality, however - I personally believe people have more attributes or less rigid categories of personality. With that being said it might provide helpful insight or perspective to read up on the personality profile you receive, it could help describe or call to attention some features of your personality that you can then work on, strengthen.
Long post long: INTJ was my outcome.
I believed myself to be more perceptive than judgemental, but that was the result.

I think you might be this meme:
