I did the test and the description could have been the exact opposite of what I am.

I'll try again when I'm not half-asleep.

So I guess there wasn't any point of me posting.

Describes me well. There are slight differences between me and the description, though.

As for what I believe, I believe in a God. I do not follow a religion as I believe they are to be the downfall of humanity. Although, I do like to practice the good aspects of many different religions. I guess I'd be more heathen than anything. I am a Viking, after all. Just born in the wrong country. :P

ESTJ and my beliefs are in limbo at the moment.

INTP - Theist (mixture of Advaita Vedantist + principles of Christianity + Buddhist practices)

You are:

* distinctively expressed introvert
* moderately expressed intuitive personality
* moderately expressed thinking personality
* slightly expressed perceiving personality

[rp29nct]

INFJ - Evangelical Christian

An interesting test, and the description of my results applies roughly 80% +/-4% to how I perceive myself. Although I trust my instincts and intuition, as an engineer I prefer data and facts.

How are you structuring your study of the results? What does it take into account in looking for a correlation?

I'll start it off:

INTP - agnostic atheist (lack belief in any proposed religions/gods, but don't proclaim no god/higher power exists)

This should be interesting if a lot of people participate.

I have actually completed the myer briggs full test several times as a part of my job and have I always come out as ENTP which acording to this website is Visonary although some others describe it as inventor. I think last time I did the test I was highly perceptive,thinking and intution based close to 70-80%, but only about 55% extrovert

I would say that looking at the 70 question quiz its extremely primative compared to the real test

Atheist btw

The Visionary

As an ENTP, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you take things in primarily via your intuition. Your secondary mode is internal, where you deal with things rationally and logically.

With Extraverted Intuition dominating their personality, the ENTP's primary interest in life is understanding the world that they live in. They are constantly absorbing ideas and images about the situations they are presented in their lives. Using their intuition to process this information, they are usually extremely quick and accurate in their ability to size up a situation. With the exception of their ENFP cousin, the ENTP has a deeper understanding of their environment than any of the other types.

This ability to intuitively understand people and situations puts the ENTP at a distinct advantage in their lives. They generally understand things quickly and with great depth. Accordingly, they are quite flexible and adapt well to a wide range of tasks. They are good at most anything that interests them. As they grow and further develop their intuitive abilities and insights, they become very aware of possibilities, and this makes them quite resourceful when solving problems.

ENTPs are idea people. Their perceptive abilities cause them to see possibilities everywhere. They get excited and enthusiastic about their ideas, and are able to spread their enthusiasm to others. In this way, they get the support that they need to fulfill their visions.

ENTPs are less interested in developing plans of actions or making decisions than they are in generating possibilities and ideas. Following through on the implementation of an idea is usually a chore to the ENTP. For some ENTPs, this results in the habit of never finishing what they start. The ENTP who has not developed their Thinking process will have problems with jumping enthusiastically from idea to idea, without following through on their plans. The ENTP needs to take care to think through their ideas fully in order to take advantage of them.

The ENTP's auxiliary process of Introverted Thinking drives their decision making process. Although the ENTP is more interested in absorbing information than in making decisions, they are quite rational and logical in reaching conclusions. When they apply Thinking to their Intuitive perceptions, the outcome can be very powerful indeed. A well-developed ENTP is extremely visionary, inventive, and enterprising.

ENTPs are fluent conversationalists, mentally quick, and enjoy verbal sparring with others. They love to debate issues, and may even switch sides sometimes just for the love of the debate. When they express their underlying principles, however, they may feel awkward and speak abruptly and intensely.

The ENTP personality type is sometimes referred to the "Lawyer" type. The ENTP "lawyer" quickly and accurately understands a situation, and objectively and logically acts upon the situation. Their Thinking side makes their actions and decisions based on an objective list of rules or laws. If the ENTP was defending someone who had actually committed a crime, they are likely to take advantage of quirks in the law that will get their client off the hook. If they were to actually win the case, they would see their actions as completely fair and proper to the situation, because their actions were lawful. The guilt or innocence of their client would not be as relevant. If this type of reasoning goes uncompletely unchecked by the ENTP, it could result in a character that is perceived by others as unethical or even dishonest. The ENTP, who does not naturally consider the more personal or human element in decision making, should take care to notice the subjective, personal side of situations. This is a potential problem are for ENTPs. Although their logical abilities lend strength and purpose to the ENTP, they may also isolate them from their feelings and from other people.

The least developed area for the ENTP is the Sensing-Feeling arena. If the Sensing areas are neglected, the ENTP may tend to not take care of details in their life. If the Feeling part of themself is neglected, the ENTP may not value other people's input enough, or may become overly harsh and aggressive.

Under stress, the ENTP may lose their ability to generate possibilities, and become obsessed with minor details. These details may seem to be extremely important to the ENTP, but in reality are usually not important to the big picture.

In general, ENTPs are upbeat visionaries. They highly value knowledge, and spend much of their lives seeking a higher understanding. They live in the world of possibilities, and become excited about concepts, challenges and difficulties. When presented with a problem, they're good at improvising and quickly come up with a creative solution. Creative, clever, curious, and theoretical, ENTPs have a broad range of possibilities in their lives.

Jungian functional preference ordering for ENTP:

Dominant: Extraverted Intuition
Auxiliary: Introverted Thinking
Tertiary: Extraverted Feeling
Inferior: Introverted Sensing




Yeah, it's kinds matches me... except these personality tests take a snapshot as you are now. Take the test again at different times and the score changes.

[-themask-]

Hmm, so far every single "NF" and "SF" has been religious, and every "NT" except a couple have been atheist...

[huu]

INTJ - I'm "spiritual"...

[rednecksamurai]

I got INTP
I am definitely a Theist.

I would also say that I think a lot of the young atheists that post here will wind up being some sort of Theist in the next 20 years.
