    God, but the methodology here is flawed to hell and back.

    It's another example of people abusing MBTI as a system of classifying people rather than understanding cognition. The enumeration of subtypes does answer a deep-seated need for classification and systematizing, but that's the classic INTP trap where we lose objectivity in pursuit of our emotional need for consistency. What you're doing here is not classifying yourself, but your current mood. Use the Ti, Luke, and stay rational!

    The person who wrote this doesn't seem to have any real basis for their thoughts and is not showing their work. And in a few places it seems deeply contradictory. Take the "Stoner subtype" - apparently inhabiting a fantasy world, they rank N lowest. How is that supposed to work? Intuition, Ne especially, is responsible for creative imagination. The perpetually daydreaming INTP should, logically, be more Ne dominant.

    This system is not, however, worthless. I think it's worth taking a good look at it in terms of how your I, N, T and P manifest - as facets of your personality and cognitive style, not as who you are. For example, my introversion most frequently shows up in daydreaming, so the description of "the Stoner" is very accurate. On the other hand, my favorite manifestation of Thinking is "the Saboteur" - skepticism and the search for contradictions where matters of seeking truth are concerned. Which is basically what I'm doing right now.

    At 100% I, 74% T, 73% N, 53% P...
    ITNP -"slow burn"
    These annihilate their personalities with their razor brains, and can get into J/P spirals that can lead to madness and suicide.

    Oh, bother.


    I apologize if I'm bringing back an old thread.

    That's 24 types too many, I'll stick with the simpleton's INTP and let's call it a night deal.

    I got IPTN.


    Introverted (I) 93%
    Intuitive (N) 55%
    Thinking (T) 75%
    Perceiving (P) 86%

    Vaguely accurate...

    Seriously talk about a brain overload leading to a cognitive seizure.

    16 x 25 = 400

    If each sub-type had to have its own forum, I wouldn't have enough time in the day to browse them all.

    400

    Not even the world can be broken up into a number with that many nations.

    When I took the quiz I got NITP, but after reading all of them, NTPI and TNPI really seem to stick out at me.

    Edit: I just looked at my signature, and that says NTPI, so I believe that may be what I am.

    ITNP , I do self-analyze myself a lot. And in pressing social situations when I have to make a decision for which I am unsure the answer to, I do go crazy. The right thing to do? The wrong thing to do? There is no right answer.

    INTP - The Thinkers

    ITPN

    Introverted (I) 96% Extraverted (E) 4%
    Intuitive (N) 55% Sensing (S) 45%
    Thinking (T) 75% Feeling (F) 25%
    Perceiving (P) 68% Judging (J) 32%

  10. #220
    Unknown Personality

    Introverted (I) 96% Extraverted (E) 4%
    Intuitive (N) 86% Sensing (S) 14%
    Thinking (T) 85% Feeling (F) 15%
    Perceiving (P) 85% Judging (J) 15%

    INTP-"the unabomber"
    With the strong sense of values and identity, this type leads to a greater truth by quiet example.

    INPT-"bodhidharma"
    This type, the second of the hermit-like INs, seeks obliteration of the personality through calm meditation.

    Though I can see myself in all of the 'solipsists' descriptions...
