Advocate - INFJ-t
www.16personalities.com
I've taken one of these every 3-5 years for the past 25 years. I always get the same result.
All psychological models are artifice. Freud, the creator of the model of huge tracts of psychological theory, "just made it up" also. How useful models are is always debatable. If they get people to think about their personality and how they engage the world, it's useful. People shouldn't feel constrained by any of it but rather use it as a model to work from, especially if they're experiencing some deficit in their lives.
The questionability of psychological models is why evidence based models such as cognitive behavioral theory are preferred by and compensated by insurance companies. However the utility of psychodynamic analysis and therapy is hard to argue against when we get into philosophical "unhappy with life, self, etc" territory.

entertainer. i got this bullshit marliyn monroe quote
"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you surely don't deserve me at my best."
fuck that. i dont agree with that at all

ENFJ-T / Protagonist.
OK. Yea, the description sounds about right.
"Protagonists are natural-born leaders, full of passion and charisma. Forming around two percent of the population, they are oftentimes our politicians, our coaches and our teachers, reaching out and inspiring others to achieve and to do good in the world. With a natural confidence that begets influence, Protagonists take a great deal of pride and joy in guiding others to work together to improve themselves and their community. "
I was President of 3 of the largest student-run organizations at the University of Michigan and on the e-board of the largest student-run organization in the world. I really enjoyed helping people and creating an environment for others to have fun and learn in.

If we assume that the 27,500 number are paying subscribers and the lowest tier is $29 and the average tier $79 theyve probably made a million or two dollars. To me this is very remniscient of the tiny little ads self-help book strategy of the 90s.
Got INTJ-T.
Apparently about only 2% of the population is this. Even fewer for women. I'm assuming this test means nothing.

So this is some kind of money scam? I didn't get that far.
16 personalities isn't the best, but I wager a lot of you will be NT and NF types, with overrespresentation of them compared to the general population. This forum isn't good for SF types and ST types tend to be too busy with "real life/work" to use often lol.
I prefer mbti over ocean/hexaco because it's more meaningful, as the latter doesn't actually give you a "good picture" of a person vs the mbti types being at least like "characters" you can develop a good understanding of as a base of each person.
INTJ and INFJ will find the most use out of mbti in general. INTP tend to have love-hate relationship to it due to poor scientific rigour and validation of the thing, ENTP and ENTJ are most likely to use it for career/business level stuff, INFP and ENFP tend to enjoy mbti but mostly as a hobby like astrology, and the rest of people usually only have a passing interest in it lol.

Wouldn't you have to think it's accurate, considering it asks you questions about what you think you are like?
To over-simplify, if you pick a bunch of "I prefer to stay home with a book rather than go to the bar with friends" answers then it'll pick a personality that is a "quiet type."
The same thing with those "5 Love Languages" things.
"I think giving gifts to people is very important."
"Your Love Language is..... gift-giving."
:o

The first time I did the mbti was in middle school and got INFJ, and I've gotten that and E/INFJ at different points in my life since, every other year or so for various reasons.
I've always thought that it was interesting but much like enneagrams it's really up to the individual to interpret. It can definitely help someone "find themselves" maybe, but it's important to note that everyone can be every combination of markers in different situations. It's a good start for understanding Jungian psychology basics though so that's neat.

Can't really answer that because I'm not a clinician, but reliability and predictive capabilities or diagnostic abilities are two different things. There's a wealth of literature on the reliability of various Big Five inventories, and personality psychologists are amongst the most rigorous out.
I'd imagine things like Dark Triad personality traits might be more relevant for clinicians to test for but again, I wouldn't know. Personality inventories like Big Five are popular in personality and social psychology who look more at non-clinical populations, that's for certain.
I'm sure that's how they get to sleep at night. It's a "sales strategy." Right.
INFP, Mediator. Always got this result from lots of different sites, so I dunno maybe there is some truth. Always on the edge between Extrovert/Introvert, 49/51 split.
Adventurer
ISFP-A / ISFP-T
(i don't know what do these means)
And as always with these test, it's really not accurate, from the reading they got 1 or 2 things right but the majority is off the mark
