Personality types

INTJ

I got “JERK” I think this test is rigged…

INTJ. Lots of Masterminds around here I’d suspect.

I clicked the carrer identifier and unsurprisingly my occupation is Engineering Librarian.

INTP. Classic nerdiness I suppose.

ENFJ

Maybe thats why i have a more risk/reward style of play

INTJ

intj - 8 (44.4%)

Why are so many people of this type?

This has got to be impossible considering that like almost 1 out of 2 are this type in the poll. Perhaps the only types of people who would respond to a poll are INTJ? Perhaps that can explain it.

ENFJ

Should have guessed…

Perhaps that personality type is simply more strongly drawn to Axis and Allies? We’re also dealing with a very small sample (folks on this site who’ve taken the poll) of a very small sample (folks registered on this site.) We don’t have that diverse a statistical sample in the first place. We’re also lacking in females and doesn’t INTJ skew male?

I’m not sure we should be too surprised though. A&A is not a hobby for folks who don’t like rules let alone complicated and complex rules so a few of those types while perhaps common in the overall population simply aren’t going to show up here. A&A is not a hobby for folks who hate math and/or thinking things through especially as recreation. The only responses in the emotional types have judgmental and thinking in them.

To get more broad as an example I’d think the number of folks here who read history and sci-fi as their recreational reading is likely high compared to a national sample. We don’t have a romance book thread do we?

If we did a poll on folks’ occupations around here the number of artists and entertainers and writers (not technical) and models and designers is likely skewed to the very low end of the overall distribution. We’re probably even low compared to average for sales and lawyers type positions. This site’s demo probably skews strongly to STEM fields and management therein or manufacturing/construction.

Or they saw my earlier post and are picking it to skew the poll without taking the test?   :roll:

I don’t think this is to scientific but certainly interesting. Why wouldn’t the site skew INTJ on an individual level? Nearly 3/4 of everyone who responded to the poll has one of those characteristics.

14/19 are I types for 74%
16/19 are N types for 84%
14/19 are T types for 74%
17/19 are J types for 89%

If we take away the 8 INTJs we still get

54% I types
72% N types
54% T types
81% J types

ENFJ

Although, I think that could change depending on what I was thinking of.  Also not all of those are personality related…some are practical or spatial.  The one about where you stand in the room - middle or edge - had me answer in a practical manner because I’m a big dude.  If I stand in the middle I’m in everyone’s way.  Maybe that plays on the empathy part, but I thought they were going for the center of attention angle.

I think the personality test is bunk, though.

You have to change your answers to many more than one question to shift the results. I did it again changing a few things that I thought might be just my own perception/wishful thinking and not what ‘is’ and still ended up with the initial classification.

ISTJ

Lead trait is Thinking, I don’t think that means I get the right answers though!  It just takes me longer to get it wrong.

I’m like Clint Eastwood, Herbert Hoover, Queen Elizabeth II & Eeyore; what does that mean?

One of the links described ENTJ’s as Fieldmarshals, go figure.

INFJ here.
