Edit (January 2011): Looks like the test no longer works--you can still go through and answer the questions but if you hit submit, you get an error page.

Thanks!!

The last time I took this test I got:

introverted Feeling (Fi) - (55.7) (excellent use)
extraverted Intuiting (Ne) - (45.6) (excellent use)
introverted Intuiting (Ni) - (33.2) (good use)
introverted Thinking (Ti) - (32) (good use)
extraverted Feeling (Fe) - (22.3) (limited use)
introverted Sensing (Si) - (22) (limited use)
extraverted Sensing (Se) - (15.1) (unused)
extraverted Thinking (Te) - (13.9) (unused)

So it looks like the only function that's really seen any significant change is Ni (down 11 points! )

I feel like my Fi is developing a lot cos of thinking about what I want, who I am, what I value and breaking away from the mould. You guys are having a good influence on me ^_^

My FI, NE and TI all have really good usage.

But my SI and SE and really underused for some reason.

sooooo my Ni and Fe have gone way down, and my Te has gone way up... might explain why i've been testing INTP as of late. fits quite well with my self image anyhow...

its kind of odd, as i've stopped trying to be something i'm not i've started to conform better to type theory as far as functions go O.O

It's getting to that stage where the word 'your' looks funny.

^^ yes, it's correct, I was just admiring the correct usage thereof, but I see now that using the phrase 'a grammarpuss writes' kind of sets the reader up to expect a mistake to be pointed out, not praise for something that was already written as it should have been

Anyway - it was right, and I admired it, if a little misleadingly

The analysis says this most closely matches ENFJ...

I wonder if drinking a lot of coffee while taking the test affects (hey Grammarpuss, is this the correct usage of affect?) the results...

Miaow! Affects is right...

...but don't take the puss

Your pattern of responses most closely matches individuals of this type: INFP
If these cognitive processes don't fit well then consider these types: ENFP, or INTP

When I first discovered MBTI, I had trouble deciding if I was INTP or INFP. And with Enneagram, was I 4 or 5? As I got to understand the systems better, I realized I was an INFP with unusually well-developed T, and a 4w5.

Se unused explains all the bruises I get when I bump into ordinary physical reality. But I do engage with music, art, nature, very much so when it engages me emotionally.

Summary Analysis of Profile
By focusing on the strongest configuration of cognitive processes, your pattern of responses most closely matches individuals of this type: INFP

Sounds pretty consistent with what I always get on this test: high Ne, Fi and Ni, the rest lower to varying degrees.

Pipster: Another Ne Fi Ni INFP!

(Ne) Notice abstract patterns as they emerge. Shift a situation's dynamics and explore imaginative potential possibilities.

(Fi) Adhere to personal beliefs about what's important. Evalute situations and choose what you believe is congruent with your personal identity.

(Ni) Receive "ah-ha" insights and realizations. Persue a greater level of awareness to transform who you are and how you think.

Explore imaginative possibilites, choose which are congruent with our identities, and use these insigths to transform who we are. Cool.

Cue huge sigh of relief!

I did this test and it told me I was ENTP so I REFUSE to post my results!! (though yeah, if I was ENTP, that would be sincerely awesome! Bow to my logics!!)

introverted Feeling (Fi) ********************************************* ( 50.4 ) excellent use

I've always prided myself on my Te use. For example, I noticed a logical inconsistency when I posted my list "8 )" automatically turns into the Cool Guy smiley, and that happened when the combination appeared after Si. Yet for some reason, it didn't appear after Se and I'm confused by that. Then I realized it's the period/decimal that causes it.

I'm happy that everything has gone up since last time, especially Se, which needed a huge boost. Everything that is, except for Ti which dropped somewhat.

INFP, 4w5 sx/sp

Maybe I should put this in my signature because I find myself having to repeat it so often but...

The only instrument that has been designed and tested for reliability and validity to measure type (using the 4 polar scales) is the MBTI. Socionics or cognitive processes is not affiliated in any way with the publishers of the MBTI and is thus not subjected to the same standards.

Take it at your own risk, buyer beware, etc.

Yeah, but the cognitive processes underpin the whole of the MBTI. So while I can see how someone can question the accuracy of this test, I don't see how anyone can question its validity without questioning the MBTI too.

The people behind the cognitive processing sites are not affiliated with the people who develop, test, and sell the MBTI. They are separate entities.

technically speaking the one is the theoretical underpining of the other, but in reality, the cognitive processes haven't been validated at all, whereas the 4 dichotomies, to a degree, have. so theres mbti theory, which says you prefer one of each, and theres the cognitive processes, which try to explain why that is so. we can have the what right without having a clue as to the why. like theoretical physics
