Dear diary,
Depending on time of day and ambient mood, there is a sufficient shift that I have fit numerous categories, the third and fourth letters being the most likely shift. I usually say "stuff it, I'll stick to INFP", even if the test comes back INTP. Only once did "S" crop up...
Meandering disclaimer out of the way, I took the test, often asking each question why it's not asking us for nuanced reasoning behind the conclusion we intend to select...
Right now, I'm in the cozy winter home known as "INTP". Subsection "T". "Logician". Not an illogical result, I must say...
Surprisingly, J/P was more skewed rather more to P this time, usually the middle three are usually near the center, as T/F and S/N tend to be. Maybe it's due to the "Turbulent" rating at the bottom, how confident one is - that would make sense for some of the teeter-totter wishy-washy fluffy stuffy stuff. That or aging. Aging sucks. I'll try this again next week, maybe after a few cups of coffee (now given the "Carcinogenic" label in California so don't drink too much of it! )Additional, I'll put this into my dating site profile and see if anyone swoons or not. If nothing else, I'll buy a wig that looks like Descartes' hair:
They love patterns, and spotting discrepancies between statements could almost be described as a hobby, making it a bad idea to lie to a Logician. This makes it ironic that Logicians’ word should always be taken with a grain of salt – it’s not that they are dishonest, but people with the Logician personality type tend to share thoughts that are not fully developed, using others as a sounding board for ideas and theories in a debate against themselves rather than as actual conversation partners.
...
They may appear to drift about in an unending daydream, but Logicians’ thought process is unceasing, and their minds buzz with ideas from the moment they wake up. This constant thinking can have the effect of making them look pensive and detached, as they are often conducting full-fledged debates in their own heads, but really Logicians are quite relaxed and friendly when they are with people they know, or who share their interests. However, this can be replaced by overwhelming shyness when Logician personalities are among unfamiliar faces, and friendly banter can quickly become combative if they believe their logical conclusions or theories are being criticized.
When Logicians are particularly excited, the conversation can border on incoherence as they try to explain the daisy-chain of logical conclusions that led to the formation of their latest idea. Oftentimes, Logicians will opt to simply move on from a topic before it’s ever understood what they were trying to say, rather than try to lay things out in plain terms.
The reverse can also be true when people explain their thought processes to Logicians in terms of subjectivity and feeling. Imagine an immensely complicated clockwork, taking in every fact and idea possible, processing them with a heavy dose of creative reasoning and returning the most logically sound results available – this is how the Logician mind works, and this type has little tolerance for an emotional monkey-wrench jamming their machines.
More bonus, illogical as it seems - but I still prefer vitamin A to a dose of minerals and iron-y:
Logician Managers
While Logicians don’t care for managing other people, it is likely the most rewarding position as it provides the opportunity to direct concepts and theories while others handle the logistics. Logicians have a very tolerant and flexible style, characterized by an openness to logical suggestions and relative freedom for their subordinates. But this freedom comes at a cost – Logician managers have very high standards, and they expect others to grasp their insights instantly, and to provide their own in equal measure.
As well as their demand for innovation, Logicians are better than any other type at noticing logical discrepancies – their tendency to ignore others’ feelings means that their criticisms often come hard and fast as they direct projects to their own perfectionistic standards. Here again Logicians do best with a partner, this time a delegator who can filter their thoughts and direct their team in more socially productive ways. A liaison can also help to deter schmoozing and attempts at emotional manipulation, a sure mistake for anyone who tries.

Why is that some of you folks get negative scores on all counts, and other positive?
They're not really negative as such. I've seen the count lines where the middle is 0 and veers to the left or right, think of it as negative integers (-10 vs +10 from the center) as opposed to "negative means the more negative number the worse one is. The center doesn't indicate "mentally balanced, so the farther away one is from the center suggests one's a total nutter" as a result.
)e.g.
|-5-4-3-2-1-0+1+2+3+4+5|
I've seen it both ways, it's pretty much negligible. Blame the graphic designers (often INFJ, hah!) for that.
More like a teeter totter; which direction your brain is hardwired for. Ambient emotional condition can affect anyone, to varying degrees. I'll admit, that innovation of -A and -T, if I understand it correctly, is rather fascinating and suggestive (just not in a TV14 sort of way.)
Innocuous dirty joke hiding in there aside (
), I agree - the T&A are definitely not standard issue. My guess is that the questions are analyzed for consistency, looking for nuanced deviations from a pattern. The more deviations on each question's scale probably leads to more "Turbulant" over "Assertive". This would also explain why three of the four categories tend to be more mutable than the other, particularly the latter two.It also explains why I'm single. I'd nag people to divorce court. Whatever happened to Judge Mablean on that show, anyway? She was fantastic...

So I did an update - After guzzling 2 cups of peppermint coffee mocha and playing in the snow with the albino squirrels when it's cold enough to freeze bacon on the sidewalk can be quite cathartic.
"Mediator" - INFP-T.
Not untrue...
INFP's must be El Aurians, as well:
Okey dokey...
Yeah, but we'd be as boring as snot pot pies if said qualities had.
and yet
I love dealing with Data! Geordi too! Who doesn't!
Apart from Dr Pulaski, but she grew to accept him too.
Also notice how Q never really heckled either of them, too... Q used metaphor as well. 
Q!

I'm the same type... being female and having this type is a bit annoying (
) since it's so uncommon. Even males are less common in the general populace, though on this board I'd possibly expect more INTJ types or at least more "I" types than vs the general public.Introverted 92%
Intuitive 74%
Thinking 68%
Judging 89%
Assertive 71%
I got to page 3 before bordem overwhelmed me, and i can watch Dune the movie in one go. lol
I always get INTJ on these so I'm not gonna take another. There's always a high rate of INTJ scores on MBTI tests despite supposedly being only 5% of the population--perhaps because the kind of person who wants a straightforward personality categorization test is likely to come out with an obsessive systematizing type like INTJ. 
That said, I think Big Five is more useful in general.

That's the best thing about being one, someone will always tell you....I don't need a test to know I'm an asshole.

I dont put much stock in online personality tests (this is the first one I've taken in years), but this part stuck out to me: "But this is because Architect personalities tend to believe that with effort, intelligence and consideration, nothing is impossible, while at the same time they believe that people are too lazy, short-sighted or self-serving to actually achieve those fantastic results." This pretty much sums up my view on modern society and humanity as a whole, sadly.

The first time I took this test was like my first year in college and since then I have always gotten the same general results. Apparently, this time was no different!

Have always tested as INTJ. This adds the extra -T I haven't seen before which seems to be about personal confidence.
Got:
Introverted (54%)
Intuitive (77%)
Thinking (56%)
Judging (72%)
Turbulent (61%)
Though I'm still testing INTJ, I'm much more social than I used to be. I would have tested more like 80% introvert 15 years ago. N and J seem about right. T-F I think my approach is more complex. I tend to think emotions should guide your goals and priorities but logic should guide your approach to achieving those goals. So toward the middle seems about right when really I'm both.
The difference between this and fortune telling is that there are some people who actually sat down with a skeptical eye, talking to people and writing down their conclusions, rather than just learning to size people up and telling people what you intuit they want to hear. The value (Besides entertainment) in my opinion is less in helping you understand yourself and more in helping you understand how you differ from others.

I'm not taking the test. I've been an INTJ for 40 years, and besides, the test is meaningless.
I'm a rebel I ain't taking the test!
ISTJ but barely
12% extraverted, 88% Introverted
49% Intuitive, 51% observant
51% Thinking, 49% Feeling
60% Judging, 40% Prospecting
56% Assertive, 44% Turbulent
With some values being so close depending on the question and mood I can flip-flop a bit between various usually INTJ and ISTJ.

I'm an INTJ female (have been scoring as an INTJ for years)--apparently, the rarest of the rare--less than .08% of people tested are INTJ females. I'm a freakin' unicorn! An introverted unicorn who prefers to work alone and has no time for all those illogical idiots out there.
Of course, the problem with any of these tests is that it relies totally on how we see ourselves, which---let's face it--isn't usually all that accurate. We THINK we are a certain way but those around us would probably point out our self-delusion .
