I am curious to see if any trends in the letters come up, and its a good way to get a quick read on someone regardless. I am an ENTP here. Intelligent, quick, and a little bit (read massively) argumentative.

How about you guys?

I refuse to be bound by a standardized test meant to arbitrarily categorize people! Personality is not something measured! Every personality is different, you can't claim two individuals are the same because they happen to have given similar answers!

...Is what I would say, were I to actually be opposed to taking the test. In fact, I'm simply too lazy.

INTP. I agree with Mr Avalon above, I would be astonished to find many long-term players of FL who do not have the N. Probably followed by P and I, with T/F being the most variable. But without a systematic poll, that's just speculation.

Lord Hoot is, apparently, ENTP. The test I took fails to account that one can be sociable with only a mirror for company.

This version we are taking is a shortened version. The actual test is pretty sizable and costs quite a bit of money to gain access to.

(Even so; very little research supports the idea that people tend towards different types, the overall trend is toward the middle (50-50 of each score. The Meyers-Briggs personality types are arbitrary lines that represent general tenancies of the test-taker, not an ironclad statement of who you are. (after all, the world would be pretty boring if everyone could be simplified to only 16 explicit personality types))

I find these tests much more useful in defining not real people, but characters. That way you can find some unexpected but very fitting traits for them and add some more depth.

INTP, pretty much from every test I've taken.
It is said to be one of the rarest types in the world and yet... well I guess this game attracts brooding nerds Big Grin

Should be noted that different Briggs-Meyers tests may vary. I personally use this site, as I find it to be both fairly accurate and thorough. Which quizzes did everyone else take?

INTP from 16personalities.com, it's funny to see how the supposedly rare combination seems to be a majority here. Shows you what kind of people lurk the forums of a text-based game. And why this is the first online community I've seen that I actually feel comfortable and happy being a part of, I suppose.

INTJ. It’s a very crude system, of course, but it’s still fun and interesting so long as you don’t actually start making decisions based on it.

Generally, I feel there are a lot more INTP's that the promised 3%, but it may be that the medium is to blame, as I've only looked around this topic and that one Extra Credits episode on the matter.

The test appeals mostly to a very narrow subset of people. :P

    I really should have done a poll... No matter, I'll tally up results here and there and give you all some lovely, N-pleasing numbers to mull (or kill) over later.

    E/I (I'm a true 50-50 split)NFP (never been a J in my life).

    I actually took two paid tests (as in the professionally scored ones) and came up as an E to my surprise (as I've always thought myself an I). The latter test, just to clarify,gave me 50-50 on EI.
