MBTI Survey (Part 2)
-
INFJ-A, meaning I never make friends with other INFJs (Always end out with issues among the same). So lol.
-
INFP-T though I don’t put a lot of stock in the MBTI.

Pretty skeptical of MBTI, but honestly I have noticed a trend that only very certain types of people tend to play tf2. I don’t know what it is about that game that attracts “weirdos” and “outcasts” and other unique types of people, but it’s very much a trend, from casual to the top of invite.
When I used to play CS, I had multiple teammates who were literal frat boys, it’s a much more “normie” kinda game. I think it varies by format though, I’d say 6s players are a little more like cs players than the average HL player.

INFP-T
why do 5 other people in this thread have the same thing are we all turbulent
-
I always got ENFP, haven’t done it in years but I will assume it’s the same
-
16Personalities is a Big 5 test masquerading as an MBTI test. If you find one that types you based on the cognitive functions theory rather than just the letter dichotomy, they tend to be more accurate. It got me right though, so hey.
Every time I take a test I get INTP.

@Bluebird ye and there’s also the issue with all self-answering surveys were people might answer with what they would like to be rather than what they are ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@Bluebird
I thought about what you said for a few days and I think it’d be pretty interesting to see how a cognitive functions test would compare to 16 personalities in regards to the community and on a larger scale. They do seem more detailed and insightful than the 16 personalities test. Currently the 16 personalities results represents a very small portion of the community given the 68 responses so far. I also doubt that more than a handful of said 68 people will go back and take the second test, but I hope it ends up being of some insight. I have revised the goal of the survey and added a second test in the initial post. I was sorta looking for some more direction to give to the survey and I think I found it now. I appreciate the idea a lot, truth be told I wasn’t aware of the difference beforehand. -
@Bliztank I’m doing my dissertation on empathy in online gaming, currently doing a master’s in counselling
-
@LiaRein Oh, interesting! How are you measuring empathy (or is this more qualitative)?
-
@scaredy-bat I’m gonna use the Interpersonal Reactivity Index by Davis as a survey, I’m doing it around different modes like co-operative, competitive and mixed co-op/competitive.
I found way more studies on empathy/ aggression etc and online gaming than I thought I would for my lit review. It was pretty interesting
-
I got INFP again on the 2nd test
(it was actually tied in points with ENFP, but the description of that one didn’t sound as accurate)To add to the discussion I think a lot of personality typing is basically just astrology for nerds. It’s fun and can lead to worthwhile introspection but it’s not the most scientific thing out there. It is interesting to see how people respond to the tests as a group, though, so I’m curious to see the results of the polls!
@LiaRein I’d also be interested in learning more about your research if you ever feel like sharing!

Part 2: still INFP, still don’t put a lot of stock in he MBTI
-
@darzie Is it just me, or did the second one in particular have a lot of “Wh-- th-- how is that a dichotomy in any way?” questions?

Yes and no imo. I could sort of see what sort of dichotomy they were trying to draw, even if I didn’t think it necessarily made sense I could get it. But there were some things that did feel kind of odd. A lot of the things about project planning just seemed a bit odd. You can incorporate both ways of thinking about projects (ideal/practical) and attempting to do both can be good.
I liked the second test a little bit more because the concrete examples were nice.
General post: I feel like what trips me up more is the mbti is asking what you would do without outside influence, but it’s hard to mediate on what that really means. Say for instance you have a social anxiety disorder.* This radically changes how you feel about social interactions and going out, and if it’s a long term part of your life, it’s hard to imagine the person you would be if that wasn’t a factor. I suppose this is true for most people, that everyone has things they carry with them into these tests, but I question if the test is built in a way that allows for this.
