MBTI Personality Test, Anyone?

[thecatumbrella]

I took it earlier, but didn't have a chance to post. I pretty positive it has changed a lot since I took it years ago, but I feel like it's inaccurate. Reading through everything, I could relate to some of what it was saying, but on others, no. I feel like the biggest issue I was having with this test is there were several questions I didn't quite understand, plus I couldn't put any situations to the question to help me better answer it. (Also, I think I do a lot more "Feeling" than it says I do. According to this, I'm one tough, logical person.)

As an almost Architect, I feel like the weaknesses they list are unnecessarily harsh. Arrogant and combative? Really? They'd probably counter by saying I'm being arrogant and combative by questioning them. And I know exactly what you mean about some of the questions being unrelatable or hard to answer with accuracy.

That was fun. Thanks!

I feel like the INFP personality is used a lot for kind-hearted heroines!

I recently learned (after 50 years and much grief) that I have misophonia. I can’t stand gustatory crunching, smacking, or chewing noises since early childhood. I just found I am not the only one… this is a common aversion!

I've heard of this! Do your own noises bother you, or just other people? I have something similar that's tactile-based (no idea what it's called). I get nauseated walking on crunchy snow or touching cotton balls. It's bizarre, but it's my bizarre.

Mine changed from when I took it this morning to when I took it now. I don't really trust it much either considering that I don't always have good self-assessment. I always think I'm quiet though The Siblings say they can hear me everywhere.

While I think it'd be easy to end up with different results each time you take it, I think I've done this test twice, YEARS apart (at least 5-6) and I actually think I got the same both times (I don't remember the letters from the first time around but I have a pretty clear memory of being a "mediator"), despite how much I've changed/how I view myself has changed.
I don't take these things as fact or anything or even fully understand all the stuff behind it, though I'm aware there's a lot. I even forget what I am constantly and have to search it up I just find it interesting that I managed to get the same both times.

There is certainly a relief and sigh when we can normalize or positively label a part about ourselves. I recently learned (after 50 years and much grief) that I have misophonia. I can’t stand gustatory crunching, smacking, or chewing noises since early childhood. I just found I am not the only one… this is a common aversion! Certainly it still bothers me, but I have adapted and become more tolerant over the years.

I didn't know there was a name for this, but I've had relatives that had issues with certain sounds. One, who we assumed it was tied to trauma, could not hear anyone chewing. I never met this relative, but it was a real issue for him.

Hyper- and/or hyposensitivity to various kinds of sensory input is really common in autistic people, and neurodivergence tends to run in families with some people having traits even if they don't meet the threshold for a dx.

(Mentioning this as your profile says you're autistic and I think I remember seeing you post about it somewhere)

Interesting as my son and I both have this problem and he was diagnosed autistic.

That's true. On that one relative I mentioned, I don't think it was Autism. (My Autism most likely came from the other side of the family, as it dates back to great grandfathers and such there.) You bringing this up though, does make me think that my other relative (who also has an issue with chewing but not nearly as bad) might have it tied to his Autism.

I think I've posted it a few times and usually have it on my title too. I have several people in my family who are Autistic (or left-handed, or both, lol), and it shows in multiple generations (like I said, to great grandfathers).

Just other people…I can crunch on ice all I want no problems, but if my husband so much as crunches on a raw carrot I want to leave the room (which I may do for close, casual family situations but not with others). It does elicit anger and aggression emotions that are now less difficult for me to navigate if I logically work through it. This was much harder when I was a kid!

I just asked Grok…the touch based aversions would be considered “Tactile Defensiveness”. As for our “neuro-divergence”, Dude, that’s probably highly integrated with our awesomeness and intelligence!

Grok:

The most common and established term for strong aversions or hypersensitivity to tactile (touch-related) stimuli is tactile defensiveness (also known as tactile hypersensitivity or over-responsivity to touch). This describes an exaggerated negative reaction to everyday touch sensations—like certain fabrics, light touch, textures, or hugs—that most people find neutral or pleasant. It often triggers discomfort, irritation, anxiety, or avoidance, and is frequently associated with sensory processing disorder (SPD), autism spectrum disorder, or other neurodevelopmental conditions.

I've seen this a bit but just to clarify introversion does not necessarily mean one is shy or suffers from social anxiety. That is a separate thing. One can certainly be an introvert and suffer from shyness or social anxiety but one can also have those and be an extrovert. Rather, it more refers to whether social situations energize or drain you and whether you prefer to be by yourself or with others

I've taken the test many times over the years, and it always comes out the same: INFJ. Not only that, but I have four siblings, and they are all INFJ. I haven't taken it in a few years because I know what it will be.

Anyway, that said, do you ever get intensely embarrassed about things other people don't seem to notice could be embarrassing?

No, not that I can think of immediately. I have very low social IQ in the first place, so probably everything I do is awkward and embarrassing.
