Anyone here familiar with this? A lot of schools and work places require this test to be taken so they can understand what kind of person you are.

If you haven't taken it and you would like to know your personality type you can take it here

If you have, what's you're type and how does that affect your life and relationships.

Here's a little more verbiage on the test itself:

The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment is a psychometric questionnaire designed to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions.[1][2][3] These preferences were extrapolated by Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers from the typological theories proposed by Carl Gustav Jung, and first published in his 1921 book Psychological Types (English edition, 1923[4]). Jung theorized that there are four principal psychological functions by which we experience the world: sensation, intuition, feeling, and thinking.[5] One of these four functions is dominant most of the time.

The original developers of the personality inventory were Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers. After extensively studying the work of Jung, they turned their interest in human behavior into a devotion to turn the theory of psychological types to practical use.[2][6] They began creating the indicator during World War II in the 1940s[2] through their own original research,[2] with the belief that a knowledge of personality preferences would help women who were entering the industrial workforce for the first time to identify the sort of war-time jobs that would be "most comfortable and effective"[1]:xiii for them. The initial questionnaire grew into the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator, which was first published in 1962. The MBTI is constructed for normal populations and emphasizes the value of naturally occurring differences.[7] Robert Kaplan and Dennis Saccuzzo stated that "the underlying assumption of the MBTI is that we all have specific preferences in the way we construe our experiences, and these preferences underlie our interests, needs, values, and motivation

My type is INTJ - Introverted, iNtuitive, Thinking, Judging

I -�� Introversion preferred to extraversion: INTJs tend to be quiet and reserved. They generally prefer interacting with a few close friends rather than a wide circle of acquaintances, and they expend energy in social situations (whereas extraverts gain energy)
N - Intuition preferred to sensing: INTJs tend to be more abstract than concrete. They focus their attention on the big picture rather than the details and on future possibilities rather than immediate realities
T -�� Thinking preferred to feeling: INTJs tend to value objective criteria above personal preference or sentiment. When making decisions they generally give more weight to logic than to social considerations
J -�� Judgment preferred to perception: INTJs tend to plan their activities and make decisions early. They derive a sense of control through predictability, which to perceptive types may seem limiting

It's one of the rarest types and is even more rare to be a woman with this type. I find that is suites me just fine until I get to the relationship part and then I realize why mine always fail.

I did this a while back but the result was nothing like what I am.

Which made me think, WTF

It only works if you're totally honest about how you react to the situations they ask about.

Well yes I was, but some of the questions I could have given different answers for, maybe that's why I didn't think it resembled me.

I hear ya, there's some I could go either way on as well but I found that my type is spot on for me.

I've just done it again

ISFP

I can't remember if this is what I got last time, it is interesting though

This would be me

I got ISTP Turbulent Explorer. Seems pretty accurate though I don't fit some of what it says.

I'm a ESTP and yep, that's me alright!

"Life is a daring adventure or nothing at all!"

ISTJ
Got bored with it.
Didn't find out what it means.

Although I copied this:
You are one of the Sentinels - a reliable and dedicated individual who respects traditions and prizes responsibility. You are known for your directness, attention to detail and quiet dedication.

HA! That is a very ISTJ thing to do LOL

Haha...now I have to go find out.
Want to know if I just got dissed.

Just took it...I am ISTJ....and I feel like it fits to a T....

I've taken this before, a much longer version, and got intj. this one gave me intp, so guess the int part fits great, but I swing frim j to p....interesting however both still fit

Put that on your profile Pancho - should b worth some points

I hear that guy in that movie, 50 shades, took the test.

he got BDSM

Sorry

Hahaha shocking... you're like me LOL

Also you can change over time, going from J to P means you're less judgmental and that's probably a good thing.

ESTP- Extraverted Sensing Thinking Perceiving

ESTPs are outgoing, straight-shooting types. Enthusiastic and excitable, ESTPs are "doers" who live in the world of action. Blunt, straight-forward risk-takers, they are willing to plunge right into things and get their hands dirty. They live in the here-and-now, and place little importance on introspection or theory. The look at the facts of a situation, quickly decide what should be done, execute the action, and move on to the next thing.

Though I can be really introspective and intuitive sometimes.

Sooner or later the naysayers will turn up, we have seen an identical thread come and go a few months ago.....

But for mine, it is a bit of fun and I find the results very accurate.....
I came up as ESFJ....

You are one of the Sentinels - a reliable and dedicated individual who respects traditions and prizes responsibility, you are known for your enthusiasm, social skills and caring nature.

One of the most important aspects for me to look at was relationships, as I am in one right here, right now.....

Prizing social validation and a sense of belonging so highly, romantic relationships hold a special level of importance for ESFJs. No other kind of relationship provides people with the ESFJ personality type with the same level of support and devotion, and the feelings of security and stability that come with strong romantic relationships are extremely warming.
ESFJs don't do casual flings - they need to know that their partners will always be by their sides offering unwavering support, and marriage and family are the ultimate goal.

With such a goal in mind, ESFJ personalities take each stage, from dating to everything thereafter, very seriously. Everything about ESFJs' relationships is based on satisfying mutual needs, from creating understanding early on to building mutual respect and support for each other's opinions and goals. Knowing that they are loved and appreciated has a huge effect on ESFJs' mood and self-esteem.
