personality and profession choice

[dredgwolf]

I saw this thread on GW2 guru http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/...ession-choice/ and thought it would be interesting/fun to bring it over here. (copy pasta inc)

For those of you who don't know, MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) is a scientific system of classifying people into 16 different personality types.

Each type is 4 letters, and each one represents two different possible preferences of your cognitive functions. In other words, each letter represents a different aspect of how your brain works, and the related it affect it has on your personality.

I thought it would be pretty interesting to see if there is a pattern between personality type and profession choice.

You can take the test here http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp or here http://kisa.ca/personality/ and post your result and your profession choice below.

If you want to get a better idea of what your result means, then check the following links:

You can also do some research to understand what each individual letter represents.

-----------------------
for me its: INTP: ranger

Introverted (I) 79% Extraverted (E) 21%
Intuitive (N) 68% Sensing (S) 32%
Thinking (T) 50% Feeling (F) 50%
Perceiving (P) 68% Judging (J) 32%

INFP, and going through the links that's scarily accurate for me: mesmer (probably...)

[Deleted]

Mine isn't accurate at all, but heck I'll post my results.

INTP - Ranger.

Made it rather fast so can't really say if it's accurate or not, but anyway:

INTJ: Necromancer

You have strong preference of Introversion over Extraversion (78%)
You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (50%)
You have moderate preference of Thinking over Feeling (25%)
You have moderate preference of Judging over Perceiving (56%)

[Fencers]

INTJ: Engineer.

INTJ
Introvert(33%) iNtuitive(62%) Thinking(100%) Judging(83%)

-- You have moderate preference of Introversion over Extraversion (33%)
-- You have distinctive preference of Intuition over Sensing (62%)
-- You have strong preference of Thinking over Feeling (100%)

Thanks for the links, I found it interesting that INFJ Only make up one percent of the population Personality Type, making it the most rare of all the types. http://www.personalitypage.com/html/INFJ.html

[Loaf Lord]

ISTJ looking like mesmer or elementalist. Introvert(78%) Sensing(1%) Thinking(12%) Judging(22%) Kind of inaccurate. Claims I'm hardworking when that couldn't be farther from the truth.

[dredgwolf]

glad to see that there are others interested in this as well! ill do my best to keep the OP updated.

[Window]

hate that damn test im always ungodly introverted to the point of needing a psyc

[dredgwolf]

@ window do you hate it because it says your introverted but your not? or because you are and dislike how accurate it is?

[Deleted]

Btw Dredgwolf, you posted 2 of the exact same tests when you say "here or here". I had to go through your first link so I could take the second one, since I didn't like the first. Just saying in case you didn't notice .

[dredgwolf]

@ shalla hmm, i pretty much just copy pasted this from GW2 guru, ill go to the original post and see if i made a mistake somewhere

(edit) thanks for catching that, post has now been updated

[Deleted]

You are welcome . I much prefer the second test, due to the "in the middle" answer it provides.

[Sentinel]

Your Type
ISTJ
Introvert(44%) Sensing(75%) Thinking(75%) Judging(1%)
You have moderate preference of Introversion over Extraversion (44%)
You have distinctive preference of Sensing over Intuition (75%)
You have distinctive preference of Thinking over Feeling (75%)
You have marginal or no preference of Judging over Perceiving (1%)

I plan on playing a Warrior. Charr Warrior to be exact.

[Edge-]

Heh, I still remember my myers briggs from when I took it in high school psyche like a decade ago almost.

INTP (90/60/70/90 roughly)

Main is going to be a guardian.

[dredgwolf]

interesting, taking the second test seems to have gotten me rather different results, would definitely recomend giving both a try, although i agree with shalla in that i like the second one better (op updated with new results)

(edit) as far as accuracy goes, i felt the second one was a bit more so

[Sentinel]

I got ISTP the second time on the second link:

Introverted (I) 64% (Originally 44%)
Sensing (S) 91% (Originally 75%)
Thinking (T) 80% (Originally 75%)
Perceiving (P) 55% (Originally 1% Judg)

I love these little quizzes. They always manage to remind me of what a terrible, strange person I am.
(Also, the first time I did one of these years ago, I got ISTP originally as well. I wonder what gave me 1% Judgement on the other one?)
