Wow that's really interesting. From that, I relate far far more to the INTPs than the Js. Maybe shows a bit of a flaw in the system...? Though ending up so much in the middle, maybe not.

Ya, I'm obviously not any kind of expert, but from what I understand, would it make sense to describe certain PDs as sort of 'extreme versions' of personality types? If that is the case, that would perhaps be a good piece of evidence for the validity of that classification system more than anything else. Always rather sceptical of putting people in categories, as well as the foundations of these things in general. :?

The problem with this system is that it was never scientifically validated. I think it was actually scientifically invalidated. But, believe me, science is in many levels just like faith. People prove what they want to prove, especially when it comes to quasi-science like psychology.

Regardless, there's obviously some use to this system, it's not a random thing. I think psych academics are simply reluctant to explore it and refine it, because it's not fashionable the way they want it to be.

Yep, that is basically what I was thinking. I'm really rather sceptical of any attempts to pin minds down - there are just so many variables... but taken with a pinch of salt, it can still be quite interesting...

I came up with ISTJ when I took the test a few minutes ago. That's the same thing I was 15 years or so ago, when I last took the test. I found the description of ISTJ to be a very accurate description of my personality.

ENFP

I'm sure that I would have been an INFP if I had taken this test before my therapy during my senior year of college. I had up until then been an extrovert trapped in an introverts mind, so to speak....

I am INTJ, scoring high (above 90%)on everything but the J. Supposedly my enneagram is 5w4, but sometimes I get 5w6. Although the INTJ description fits me to a T, I find that enneagram stuff confusing - I may ask my therapist (Jungian)to test me on that stuff.

Earlier I got ISFJ. I did it again. Now I used several tests. It seems to be INFJ. Makes sense.
Cognitive functions:
Dominant: Introverted intuition (Ni)
Auxiliary: Extraverted feeling (Fe)
Tertiary: Introverted thinking (Ti)
Inferior: Extraverted sensing (Se)

Yep.

I come out INFJ these days, but when I was younger, it was INTJ. My thinking and feeling have always been fairly close. I have no extroversion at all and very little sensing, which are problems for me in life.

INTJ, mostly

Introverted (I) 87.5% Extroverted (E) 12.5%
Intuitive (N) 62.5% Sensing (S) 37.5%
Thinking (T) 54.17% Feeling (F) 45.83%
Judging (J) 62.5% Perceiving (P) 37.5%
Definite social anxiety, at least a few prominent avoidant-schizoid traits. Plus other general confusion and strangeness.

I got INTJ. I cannot remember what I got when I took this test in the past, but the INTJ description fits me very well

You have strong preference of Introversion over Extraversion (78%)
You have slight preference of Intuition over Sensing (12%)
You have slight preference of Thinking over Feeling (12%)
You have strong preference of Judging over Perceiving (89%)
