and I think you are likely to see more INTJ's and related ones as this is on Online forum...that says something for how people spend their spare time doesn't it?

Well that and it's not like there's a wide variety of age demographic here. It's all University age students, from the same school and for the most part mainly from the same geographic area. With a wider group you'd probably see more variety.

ESTJ
Extraverted (11) Sensing (38) Thinking (38) Judging (22)
Wouldn't really consider myself extroverted... but I guess that's why it's only 11%.

I think it was slightly different from what I got last time, but I guess that's what University can do to you.

Woo! Truck/Bus driver! What I always wanted to be XD

Ya, I find it weird that INTJ is considered rare. Everyone I knew before reading this thread that took the test was INTJ as well.

  • distinctively expressed thinking personality
  • moderately expressed judging personality

Hmm maybe a few of us aren't truly INTJ? Because we might "think" that this would be our response(to the questions in the quizzes) given a certain situation but are ALL of us certain for every single question? Maybe that situation hasn't even come up for us and we are guessing :S

I know a couple who turned up INTJ at the facebook quiz and something else for the larger ones....

I think a more comprehensive one(like the one by career services) would lower the threshold of INTJ's :S It's rare probably because Introversion and unconventional choices,unrelenting quest for knowledge and for everything to make "sense", open critique of peers and leadership if they aren't up to the mark, assuming public leadership don't go usually together!

Sooo a true INTJ would have done both at the same time :S

In the little bit of reading that I've done, the proportion of the population which are ENFJ's do not tend to be quoted (making me think that they aren't so rare), while ENTJ's are being quoted around <2% of the population, so it looks like ENFJ's are more rare.

These tests can only go so far anyways, it's impossible to actually categorize people into 16 groups. There will always be exceptions and there will always be people who don't seem to fit very well into any particular group. This is why I'm not a huge fan of personality tests.

The language of the descriptions also tends to be super generalized and somewhat vague (similar to astrology, which total BS), so people always tend to agree with their results, regardless of whether or not they actually reflect their true selves.

I meant which one out of all the types is the rarest. According to almighty Wikipedia its INFJ...

Yeah I'm not big on personality tests either. Myers-Briggs is the most interesting one I've done... that colours one is horrible.
