The Jung Typology Test

[who moi]

Click here to take the Jung Typology Personality Test If you're interested. :) (http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes1.htm)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I love discussions such as this and I hope Moose won't mind me starting a new thread about it.

while it may be a bit off topic, the human mind fascinates all of us and for us that come here, the subject of suicide is an undeciphered part of the human mind.

Anyways, I thought we'd have fun with this little subject down here. :)

To start off, I think of all that have contributed to science and philosophy, there isn't anyone that is ALL wrong or ALL right. And because we all tend to gravitate who(m) we most identify with, it all branches out.

I think Socrates branched out Plato and Aristotle in the west and in the East, you have the Confuciusim and Lao Tze's Daoism

and of course, inbtween countless others of schools and branches and thoughts.

Back to Jung, what have always fascinated me about Jung is that after all the analytical studies, he thinks that humans are by nature: Religious thus he united myths and science together.

that's a good part of romanticism that I like. I like that once we've analyzed something to death, and there can be no more said to be done, we now can say, ya know, I liked the Myths better.

Case in point, after Franklin found out that lightning was nothing but electricity. I wonder how many folks preferred that they liked the Zeus used the Thunderbolts and lightning to punish those that defiled him.

I don't care for the part that we are rooted in in Religion but I am not totally against it neither. I am just not sure about it.

I like that he talks about balance. I have wondered that after all the years of scientific studies that he finally said, ya know, I am just beating this thing to death, and it's just not fun anymore. I need other things to balance me out.

when he speaks of mana, while I think it's very romantic, I am afraid that was what spawned off all those psychic networks that charged a person $4.99/ minute to talk...I think folks took his ideas and really ran away with that part, the psychic part

on the other hand, Freud bugs me a lot...when we studied him, I can see why he was important in his contributions. I can see where where one can take his innovative ideas and then develop on them. My problem with his Oedipus complex and that this deeply rooted sexual drive that starts at infant and that everything goes back to "sex" does bug me but then I laugh because I can remember one of my classmates wrote this awesome paper backing this up.

It was read out loud and printed for all of us read.

I can't remember all of it, but parts of it stated that he agreed with Freud because everything a man does, goes back to wanting to have sex with women.

For example. Why do we go to work? So we can make money, so we can take a girl out on a date, so we can have sex with her.

Why do we eat? So we can have energy, so we can have sex later.
Why do we sleep? So we can wake up refreshed, go to work, eat, and have sex later.

He made us all cracked up but in thinking about, made a lot people nod...

so I can't say that I can dismiss the whole notion of Freud's work.

And I know that he contributed a lot to other fields and studies...and those were all important.

I can't compare psychologists/psychiatrists with philosophers, there are parallels but they are not the same.

But here I will try an impossible task because for some reason, I put Ralph Waldo Emerson as someone I can identify more with. I think this is where I part from Jung as much as I like him that I go with Ralph.

That test is very interesting. I took it and it listed these for me as my career choices:

Humanist (Humanity)
Web Designer (which I've done)
Musician (I play a little music)
Literature/Writer (:D)
Archaeology (I have an interest, but not vast)

it's pretty dead on for me. Actually....

and this is the page it took me to people that are in the catergory that I tested (http://keirsey.com/handler.aspx?s=keirsey&f=fourtemps&tab=3&c=healer). I was like, cool....LOLOLOL (when they say that Albert Schweiter and George Orwell are Idealist Healers, I am just honored to test into that catergory. LOLOLOL Yeah, right, how many are rolling their eyes. I didn't see invisible man on the list... ;) )

[MooseasaurusRex]

Dude.

DUDE!

Thanks for posting this. I'm still an ENFJ. (Last took this in 2001.) I noticed that my answers weren't as "strong" (%) as the last time though. I guess I've grown/changed/evolved a little since then. Or I've become wishy-washy.

And then they paired me with Bill Clinton AND Ronald Reagan. :eek:

[Doody]

LOL.

Dudes, I'm an Artisan/Crafter-ISTP. But after a second run, I came up with Artisan/Crafter-ISFP. Go figger.

But Mr. Moi. I had a hard time answering a lot of the questions.

[Koala77]

My Type is ISFJ

Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging

Qualitative analysis:
*Distinctively expressed introvert
*Slightly expressed sensing personality
*Moderately expressed feeling personality
*Distinctively expressed judging personality

That last one did surprise me. "Distinctively expressed judging personality" is not something I'd have thought of in regards to myself. I certainly am not judgmental.... not in any way. Maybe I've misunderstood the meaning.

Apparently I'm a Guardian.

Guardians pride themselves on being dependable, helpful, and hard-working.
Guardians make loyal mates, responsible parents, and stabilizing leaders.
Guardians tend to be dutiful, cautious, humble, and focused on credentials and traditions.
Guardians are concerned citizens who trust authority, join groups, seek security, prize gratitude, and dream of meting out justice.

I do not dream of meting out justice, but for the rest it's fairly close to me. I am shy, very sensitive but tend to be a loner.

Other people with similar traits include Jimmy Carter, Frederic Chopin, & Jane Fonda.

Of the careers suitable for me, one was nursing.... which I did all my working life.

[Lara]

I thought that with mine too, Koala but in the sense that it's written there, I don't think the "judging" part means being judgemental. Judging usually means weighing up situtions or evaluating them impartially or in a well balanced way.

[Koala77]

Thanks Lara. That makes much more sense and is fairly much the way I do things.

Now you've explained that for me..... I have to say that this questionairre is so close to "me" that it's almost freaky! . :eek:

[Lara]

I take it you're a Guardian?
If you're ISFJ you are the same as Koala.

Guardians pride themselves on being dependable, helpful, and hard-working.
Guardians make loyal mates, responsible parents, and stabilizing leaders.
Guardians tend to be dutiful, cautious, humble, and focused on credentials and traditions.
Guardians are concerned citizens who trust authority, join groups, seek security, prize gratitude, and dream of meting out justice.


sounds spot on to me, yet I only know you from a long distance.

[who moi]

as with any tests (including IQ tests which irks me. Since I only have an IQ between 0 and 1) don't take this too seriously.

However, there are basis to it that does make it unique when it comes to some self-assessing, IMHO

I think everyone is not just an introvert or extrovert but a mixture of two and inbetween.

I am an extrovert by training. My mom took me to speech classes and piano lessons and made me to public recitals and public speaking at a very young age. But by nature, I blush easily and am not comfortable in crowds.

if you'll notice that some of these questions are kind of repeated in a different way and that's where we get the % scores from.

because we might tend to lean more to a yes on one question we might lean more to answer a no on the other similar question...

and while a lot of those questions I feel like I should answer either with a maybe or give more explanations. The other similar questions would offset the original questions...

In the past, I took the "Myers-Briggs" test that Jung helped developed the model for. It is more broad.

Questions such as: If you are good friends with a fellow employee and you know that she/he is stealing, would you tell on them?

that's a tough call when they only give you a yes or no.

To me, well, that depends. Is this person a good friend? Did they confide in me when they stole? If so, what are the circumstances? Not that I'd agree with the stealing part. Plus, I am a deep believer in confidentiality.

Did I find out that they were stealing on my own? If so, I would approach them first.

what are they stealing? A dollar or two? Or enough to bankrupt the company.

All these are unknowns and hard to just hit yes or no button to.

But still, it gets to the core of a person. They are trying to test and see which way one would lean more on to...

but I like it when Eddington said:

We have found a strange footprint on the shores of the unknown. We have devised profound theories, one after another, to account for its origins. At last, we have succeeded in reconstructing the creature that made the footprint. And lo! It is our own.

We are who we are, it is what it is...

and that we do change, we're evolving creatures and we grow and mature (some might argue that I never mature. LOL) so our views can change, switch, and maybe even go back again.

I like Emmerson's POV about "Transition" vs. "definitives"

we're transitional creatures...at least, that's what I think...

Whitman's views best sums up my romanticism about the world.

we have to be real but not lose the romanticisms (we know Santa isn't real, but we must believe in the spirit of Santa[Christmas])

we have to be a bit unreal, when it gets too real (dealing with extreme pain by lightening things up a bit)

I like that when people went to Andy Kaufman's funeral, they laughed through the tears. I liked that Mary Tyler Moore laughed at Chuckles the clown's funeral.

I am not saying that that is true to every occassion. But if we know the person,and we know that they loved to laugh while they are alive. Then why hold on to the sad memories when we know that they would've loved for us to laugh at their funerals??

I hope people will laugh and have a good time at my funeral...not that they shouldn't feel sad...but to laugh through the tears...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




And then they paired me with Bill Clinton AND Ronald Reagan. :eek:

that would make you "Fair and Balanced" not wishy washy, dude. LOL ;)

I took this test a couple of times before and tested the same so I suppose it's pretty accurate. Only 1% of people are this type? Well, I always knew I was different, lol. Albert Einstein is among the people who share this type.

wiz!!! 1% and up there with Einstein!

Qualitative analysis of your type formula

You are:

* distinctively expressed introvert
* moderately expressed intuitive personality
* moderately expressed feeling personality
* moderately expressed judging personality

others with this type:
Mohandas Gandhi, Sidney Poitier, Eleanor Roosevelt, Jane Goodall, Emily Bronte, Sir Alec Guiness, Carl Jung, Mary Baker Eddy, Queen Noor are examples of the Counselor Idealist (INFJ). ( I don't know about the connection with Mary Baker Eddy!)

Counselors have an exceptionally strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others, and find great personal fulfillment interacting with people, nurturing their personal development, guiding them to realize their human potential. Although they are happy working at jobs (such as writing) that require solitude and close attention, Counselors do quite well with individuals or groups of people, provided that the personal interactions are not superficial, and that they find some quiet, private time every now and then to recharge their batteries. Counselors are both kind and positive in their handling of others; they are great listeners and seem naturally interested in helping people with their personal problems. Not usually visible leaders, Counselors prefer to work intensely with those close to them, especially on a one-to-one basis, quietly exerting their influence behind the scenes.

That was very interesting...and pretty accurate too!

INFJs are champions of the oppressed and downtrodden. They often are found in the wake of an emergency, rescuing those who are in acute distress. INFJs may fantasize about getting revenge on those who victimize the defenseless. The concept of 'poetic justice' is appealing to the INFJ.
