how so?
Well...basically, the research doesn't support them (I would...or you would have to look up the studies and expert pieces about the issue if you're interested).  I'm a bit rusty on this, but I can say that there's a running joke in the psychology dept at my uni about the M-B tests (can't remember that either ConfusedLOL but it has something to do with astrology).  Typology tests are often used with first year college students to initiate them into self-analysis and to help them choose a career path, at which psychologists say such tests are not an accurate representation of an individual's personality.  Self-inventory is not as reliable as assessment by a certified professional...or a test that is backed by funding + research.  If you are testing yourself, the door is opened to a slew of outside factors (ie. "demand characteristics") that can affect the way you respond (ie.  some people may WANT to be an introvert...or have an inaccurate self-concept that would reflect in their answers; almost anything you can think of here).  How can you tell which tests actually are supported by peer reviewing and research?  Ask an expert, research it for yourself, etc...you will have to pay for a good test because research requires support/funding. 
 
Without going too much into this...I'll just pick on two specific problems with the Jung typology test.  First of all, it's over-simplified: e vs. i.  You are either one or the other.  This ties into the other big problem in that the "vs" eliminates the manifestation of dual characteristics and different moods (eg. I'm the life of the party at times, one of the most "engaging" people you'll meet, but when I'm not 'feelin' it', I'm as withdrawn as someone on the downswing of bipolar). 
 
 
 
 
 
...Actually, I'll stop there, this stuff IS fun for the less-pedantic-than-I. Geek Just don't live by the results here, you wouldn't want to lock yourself into one of these rigid categories.  One thing that these free tests are good for, is that folks can become intested in aspects of themselves (and human beings in general) that they might not otherwise engage in...get the ball rolling, so to speak.Smile

Well guise, I was like a INTP last time, so I must be awesome or something (inconsistent).

I'm not consistent enough to answer the same way each time ;P


Yeah, I did that a lot.

There's already a poll about this, with the exact same link. But why not bury the old poll ... maybe our personalities have depeloped since then!Big%20smile

BTW: Used to be an INFP ... I tried it again recently and now I'm INFJ.

I'm curious what personality types are here. This is from the Myers-Briggs personality inventory, adapted from Carl Jung's typologies.

I or E: introverted or extroverted
S or N: sensing or intuitive
T or F: thinking or feeling
P or J: perceiving or judging

You can take the test at:
