Do you try to find out what personality type your friends and family are?

I'm thinking of printing off all the different profiles and finding out which apply to people I know so I can get along with them better. I know as an EFPN there are alot of people that get annoyed with me quickly so it would be nice to be able to tone down my personality a little around certain people. What do you guys think? Is this something you would do/have done? Was it very helpful?

I found it really interesting when I found out me and my mum were polar opposites. It kind of explains alot of our conflicts!

I just asked several of my friends to take the test online, which they seemed more eager to do, because they were involved in the process and people love finding stuff out about them or doing things which they believe shows how unique they are.

I dont know if I could get my friends to do it, the official quiz is so long! Also one of my friends took it and got the same result as me and ended up completely disagreeing with what it said.

lol... o....k....

I just get my friends to do the www.41questions.com test, and they usually don't mind doing it when they make the time.

I have done this, and there is even a thread in the 'Guess my type' section about Family's personality types if anyone is interested (I don't believe there's a friend thread there yet, though). I don't usually have them take the test, but a few I know have, and it's actually helped with the interaction. I prefer to deduce on my own, however, as the threshold for annoyance that those I've asked have had has been very quick.

I do this. I am slowly getting the people in my grade to take the test to compare the results to what I think they would be.

I made 1 of my friends take it. It was useful just from there on i estimated but I do not use it in my head because its just an estimate.

Haha, I made my entire family take the test.

And they all agreed it was accurate.

I spend a lot of time trying to figure out what my friends and family are. >,> I'm pretty good at figuring E/I, T/F and P/J, but I'm shaky on N/S.

I got a few people to take the quiz. My mom turned out to be an ISTP and my friend was an ENFP, both of which I was pretty certain about. I thiiink my stepdad is an ESFJ, my father could be an ISTJ, and his girlfriend might be an ESFP...

But my mom and my friend are the only ones confirmed. xD

I have done this. When I first did MBTI I got a few colleagues or do it (and discovered we are all NT sub types, but within that are different...but it perhaps explains why we do what we do and why we get on) and since have persuade husband and kids to do it, and also friends whose relationships have been troubled, with good effects....in fact if I didn't already have a job I think an MBTI facilitator counsellor would be a good thing to do. It makes an awful lot of sense to me. But then why else would I be posting here?
