Let's all do MacGuffin!!!

[MacGuffin]

Aww yeah! :pornstar:







Oh wait, the test results (from INTPc):

Let's do this a third time!

I retook this, here is my old results:

Ne
Te
Ti
Si
Ni
Fi
Se
Fe
By focusing on the strongest configuration of cognitive processes, your pattern of responses most closely matches individuals of this type: INTP
By only focusing on the cognitive process you identified with most, your pattern of responses most closely matches individuals of this type: ENTP
Your self-assessment curve: -1


My new results:

Your Cognitive Development Profile
The forty-eight questions you rated earlier tap into the eight cognitive processes. Some questions tapped into basic or developed use of a process used by itself, while other questions tapped into use of multiple processes at once. The profile below is based on your responses. The number of squares indicate strength of response. The equivalent numeric is shown in parentheses along with likely level of development.


Cognitive Process - Level of Development (Preference, Skill and Frequency of Use)

extraverted Sensing (Se) ******************** (20.3)

Summary Analysis of Profile
By focusing on the strongest configuration of cognitive processes, your pattern of responses most closely matches individuals of this type: ENTP

Lead (Dominant) Process
Extraverted Intuiting (Ne): Exploring the emerging patterns. Wondering about patterns of interaction across various situations. Checking what hypotheses and meanings fit best. Trusting what emerges as you shift a situation?s dynamics.

Support (Auxilliary) Process
Introverted Thinking (Ti): Gaining leverage (influence) using a framework. Detaching to study a situation from different angles and fit it to a theory, framework or principle. Checking for accuracy. Using leverage to solve the problem.


If these cognitive processes don't fit well then consider these types: INTP, or ENFP




As usual, my Ne trumps my Ti. But I am so not extraverted. At least my Ti came out on top of Te.

Ah excellent. Do let me know later what type we are :D

[Uberfuhrer]

You are a total ENTP, in my opinion.

:thumbup: on the title.
That :pornstar: emoticon should be adopted by all contraception drives {shudder}

oh, and
xNTP, I lean toward an INTP verdict.

[Anonymous]

So you're .2% away (on the Ne/Ti) from being an ENTP? I vote xNTP. You're just right on the border.

[Uberfuhrer]

xntp, I lean toward an INTP verdict.

I understand he's quite chatty and talkative. I'm still going with ENTP.

And I think an INTP would be too uninterested in being in the spotlight to make his face into an emoticon.

[MacGuffin]

What'd you say about my face???

Well, I don't think he'll change his type. Otherwise, he won't be able to post in Mass of INTPness in his own forum! It just wouldn't seem right.

[MacGuffin]

Sorry, I forgot to add a poll. I put up the most popular types I've heard over the years.

[InaF3157]

How do you add a poll thingy to your post?
Anybody?

[Geoff]

There should be an option for "narcissistic". You know, for wanting everyone to talk about you ;)

[Falcarius]

Honestly, I always thought you were the sort of person who was very shy and introverted when they where younger but became more assertive and confidence when they became older.

[MacGuffin]

How do you add a poll thingy to your post?
Anybody?
You have to do it when you start the thread. There should be an option towards the bottom: "Yes, post a poll with this thread". Mark the box and it'll take you to the poll creation screen when you submit your thread.

Otherwise a madmin has to add it.

[InaF3157]

:sad: I see, thanks.

And now back to the regularly scheduled proceedings.

[MacGuffin]

Honestly, I always thought you were the sort of person who was very shy and introverted when they where younger but became more assertive and confidence when they became older.
That is actually my lifestory.

[Geoff]

Yep, sounds about right :yes:

[MacGuffin]

Yep, sounds about right :yes:
So, you're a year or two ahead of me, right?

What's the next year look like?

[Geoff]

So, you're a year or two ahead of me, right?

What's the next year look like?

You can enjoy organising yourself... doing sensory stuff like painting. Oh, and it has a 6 month motivation dip at one point. You get more in touch with your feelings and go through an INFP crisis, then reconcile with your INTP logic inside. A bit more introversion leads you away from the ENTP feeling as you explore your psyche*


*all of this is absolutely true, by the way.

[MacGuffin]

So I'm headed to INXP???

Yuck!

[Geoff]

So I'm headed to INXP???

Yuck!

Only for a while. Then, you end up sure you are INTP, but just because you exposed some emotions (dear God!) at some point in the previous year or two, everyone accuses you of being a feeler :devil: Enjoy!

[Jennifer]

This is my read, too. I don't think Mac is a true extrovert, but I think he probably becomes more extroverted around people he likes, and people that accept him, therefore seeming like an extrovert.

[kelric]

Well stated :).

[Park]

INTP just an old/irresolute mature/balanced one :D.

[Jen]

I could have voted ISTJ since you were such a bastard on mine, but truthfully you come off as ENTP to me. Charming, flirtatious, intelligent, etc. You also don't look like the archetypal INTP (Noah, Ferris, etc).

I resolve to grow my beard longer.

[Jen]

I resolve to grow my beard longer.What's wrong with being an ENTP?

Edit: "Let's all do MacGuffin?" How's that introverted? You also have a sense of humor so I say ENTP. If I can live with the ENFJ moniker then you should be alright with yours. :yes:

[MacGuffin]

What's wrong with being an ENTP?
Nothing! I like ENTPs!

I remember when I was younger and painfully shy (I wouldn't even order at a fast food restaurant). I wonder if the social disorder just wasn't inhibiting my true type.

If I am ENTP, I don't gain energy from physical interactions with people, but from external ideas/concepts/objects.

I have the ringer on my phone at home disabled!

[Jen]

okay INFJ. that all sounds exactly like me. :smile:

How about iNTP?

however, MacGuffin+Horndog=ENTP. ;)

Damn you MacGuffin!

Wouldn't order fast food. Check. Energy from external ideas/concepts but not people. Check. Ringer in phone at home disabled. Check. Also on my cellphone, too :party2:

I haven't turned on my "ringer" in 2 and a half years :D

[Ivy]

I could see E or I for you. The same thing I said about Rajah also applies to you--your problem-solving style is distinctly E to me. You both seem to want to hold a problem in your hands and inspect it from all angles. An introvert is more likely to internalize a problem and "cook" a solution from within, IMO. You're more public with your problem-solving than she is, but with you moreso than with Rajah, I sometimes get the impression that your openness is a ruse meant to protect your core by putting out a viable impression of openness so you can keep the innermost innermost to yourself.

[MacGuffin]

Damn you MacGuffin!

It's on vibrate. I won't deny myself that little pleasure in my pocket!

[Jen]

I haven't turned my ringer on in years. That sound makes me very anxious. I can't help but think whoever is calling wants something and that stresses me out. As for the fear of ordering fast food, I can relate. I used to have panic attacks when I was younger and had to go places that were full of people. I got so tired of feeling like a prisoner I would force myself to eat out at restaurants in public alone.

[heart]

I haven't turned on my "ringer" in 2 and a half years :D

My ringer has been off for four years. My husband, one sister and one friend only ones who have my cell number.

[Jen]

so do extroverted people turn off their ringers? the ones i know don't.

[Ivy]

My sister is the only one I know who does. She hates talking on the phone.

[Edahn]

I'm voting I, and I'm pretty sure about it. It has to do with your excitement level and lack of jumpiness. You strike me as a person who is always "leaning back" who gets people to engage him on your playing field. I associate that with introversion and an ability to reflect on things quietly.

[Jen]

My sister is the only one I know who does. She hates talking on the phone.I don't mind talking on the phone when I'm in the mood and I do the contacting but I don't like the sound of the ring.

As for jumpiness, anyone can be neurotic and have anxiety. that's what booze and anti anxiety meds are for.

[Jennifer]

... sometimes get the impression that your openness is a ruse meant to protect your core by putting out a viable impression of openness so you can keep the innermost innermost to yourself.

That's interesting, hmmm.

In other words, it's a bit of a diversion away from the things he wants to protect.

(Ironically sorta like... a clown costume?)

[Ivy]

I was thinking more like a shiny, glossy exterior that hides a pale and vulnerable interior, maybe one that needs a respirator to breathe.

A lot of that is legal training... it completely shifts how you approach problems. I know it sounds like I'm overstating it, but I'm not. Being educated under the Socratic Method changes how you think. Learning law in law school is secondary or even tertiary.

[AllAboutSoul]

iNtP

Based on your posts (which is all I've got ), especially in your blag, I agree with cafe.

[Geoff]

Absolutely.. my legal and analytical training have led me to be more of a problem solving extravert. I tend to bounce ideas around in a public environment - flip chart and coloured pens with a couple of people. It's how I create but I'm sure it comes from being an introvert that HAS to work in a group. I usually lead, and I adopt an energised style.. I'm sure it's an alternate "face" for me.

I was thinking more like a shiny, glossy exterior that hides a pale and vulnerable interior, maybe one that needs a respirator to breathe.

Right. I'd say... this is the "faces" thing. So an NT can have an SF party face. It's still kinda leaned back and relaxed, but it's fronted SF. I've had a professional MBTI assessor say I present SF (and even ESFP) in a social environment quite clearly, despite being a probable INTP. She told me she sees this a lot.. it's a learned defense mechanism mixed with a comfort-in-the-own-skin-as-we-get-older thing.

[Uytuun]

NICE

*hides*

A lot of introverts learn to E it up as they grow up, I think. And you just get more balanced as you age. You've got good Fi for an INTP, though...INTP and iNtP if you want me to nitpick.

I hate phones and I was scared to order at the bakery when I was a kid.

[Eileen]

Eh, I think Mac's an INTP who has pretty good social skills (maybe especially when drinking). I could see ENTP also... but he just feels INTP-y to me. I know. I shook his hand.

[MacGuffin]

I don't really have any anxiety. If anything, I am too laid back.

[MacGuffin]

Current results:

INTP - 19 (54.29%)
ENTP - 4 (11.43%)
XNTP - 7 (20.00% )
INFP - 1 (2.86%)
ISTP - 0 (0%)
ENFJ - 0 (0%)
Other - 4 (0%)

I thought it would be more varied than that.

Ehh...I tend to take people at face value. And I also think it's really hard to figure this stuff online. Unless you do a LOT of chatting with someone online, with at least audio and maybe video too. Body language and voice stuff tells a lot.

I pick INFP, though I could see ISTP or ENFJ too.
