    Hi All, I did this test over 25 years ago. It still came out the same, so if nothing else I'm consistent, lol! I'm an INFJ-A. (Can't remember there being an 'A' last time I did the test, buggered if I know what that means.) 'Advocate', just like you Mr Whirly - birds of a feather flock together. Cheers, Sooz.

    Wow as I think you might have seen in this thread I have an imaginary friend with the same type:

    Tom Thumb (aka hop-o-my-thumb)






    But the story character has a very fixed type because of the limitations of my imagination, my experience is real people usually fluctuate their type depending on things

    I took the test again, for the third time now but over two years since the last. I thought I might have changed a bit - there are many subtleties in human awareness and they're constantly in flux/evolving.

    Not so much it seems.

    I'll revise what I wrote: my experience of things is that my experience of things is humble. At least that means my characters are more real than I'd previously 53% judged & 47 % prospected

    I remember doing this test years ago after seeing it on a thread here on PA. I went through this thread to check what I was but I either didn’t post the result or it was a different thread, I’m sure the result was INFJ anyway.

    I did the test again to see if it had changed, not expecting it to, but it has, I’m now an ISFJ (Defender). That seems like a big change, from an idealist to a guardian. I’m thinking I’ve become a jaded INFJ (my mind isn’t kind to me) after some major reality checks, however I feel my personality is a more authentic expression of who I really am now, so I’m pretty happy about that. I was expecting to have to drag my self along and be me despite it, but evidently it is shifting with me.

    I had low expectations of a second test being worth my time but it’s actually pretty interesting.
    Never give up on your silly, silly dreams.

    You mustn't be afraid to dream a little BIGGER, darling.

    My daughter sent me this test link at the weekend. She's an INFJ-T

    So I gave it a shot myself. This is what it came up with for me:


    Your personality type is:
    Mediator
    INFP-T


    I tried to post the rest of it below but it came out as a garbled mess here and I deleted it.

    I'm going to guess it's my fellow extroverts on the forum who are prone to having a hot-head like me. Just guessing. Let me illustrate with Star Wars characters:

    What an ESTP looks like when they lose their cool:

    1 year ago making the test I got: INTP-A

    Type: Assertive Logician

    Role: Analyst

    Strategy: Confident Individualism

    I dint think too much about it , seem plausible to me...

    Today:

    New test say I'm ENFJ-A Protagonist

    57% Extraverted
    61% Intuitive
    54% Feeling
    58% Judging
    53% Assertive

    After reading all of it I found this Type way better description of my "self"...

    What "changed" in 1 year? materiel nothing, in emotional plane: disappointments with 2 old friends...
    I "knew" they weren't 100 % sincere to me...but I try not to push too far...I wanted to believe better...but like always
    my intuition prove me right...Curse of a gift!...

    “EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE” SURVEY
    Their confidence may have Assertive Protagonists believing that they are unlikely to be hurt – or that if they were hurt, the pain would be manageable. This sense of greater invulnerability may create a protective shell around Assertive Protagonists’ feelings, and such armor may allow them more detachment when needed. They likely deal with people more calmly. This more relaxed approach can be especially helpful in upsetting situations that can benefit from the presence of cooler heads.


    I will try next year again...

    what do you think?

    a) bollocks? b) change like your life change... c) written in stone d) insert whatever...

    Bumping this long-running and very interesting thread, which many newer members may not have seen before. Links to the test, and more about the test can be found in the OP.

    Avalon membership contains a natural range of personality types, but tilts towards the introverted, intuitive, and empathic, which I think strongly reflects in our favour.

    Here's a reminder of the various personality types:

    I am an INTP, AKA the architect. Unfortunately I didn’t study architecture in my youth, but fashion design. Discovered remodeling homes after my midlife crisis, and now, in my seventies, I wish someone could offer me 50 more years of energy and good health, because building homes and gardens has become an addiction. I use Google Sketchup to design, and feel totally at home in hardware stores.

    today:
    Virtuoso
    ISTP-A


    Introverted 54%

    Observant 57%

    Thinking 62%

    Prospecting 51%

    Assertive 63%

    Direct & Decisive

    For all the mysteriousness heaped on them, with this type, what you see is what you get. Direct but reserved, calm but suddenly spontaneous, industrious but focused on their own priorities, people with the ISTP personality type can be a challenge to predict, even by their friends and loved ones. They can seem very steady for a while, but they tend to build up a store of impulsive energy that explodes without warning, taking their interests in bold new directions.

    One of the biggest issues that they are likely to face is that, because they often act out of haste, they might rub people the wrong way sometimes. ISTPs are not the type to sugarcoat their opinions or feelings. They tend to have a very straightforward communication style that is often misinterpreted as bluntness or a lack of sensitivity, but it is simply the way these genuine souls operate. ISTP personalities have no time for people-pleasing or unnecessary social niceties. With them, there is little need to question their motives.

    Defying the Rules

    ISTP personalities are truly a unique bunch. At their core, they are authentic individuals who march to the beat of their own drum rather than adhering to societal norms and rules. Their opportunistic outlook and direct approach to life tend to create a rich tapestry of experiences and interactions for people with this personality type – some incredibly frustrating and others extremely gratifying.

    Guided by their knowledge and the evidence at their disposal, ISTPs navigate life by feel and inspiration, often stepping away from predefined routines to follow their instincts. They are unbound by convention, preferring to chart their own course in all that they do.

    In essence, people with the ISTP personality type live life freely on their own terms, valuing personal autonomy above most things. Weaving their way through social expectations, they still find a way to color outside the lines. Their journey might not align with broader norms, but therein lies the strength and beauty of their unique perspective. Finding an environment where they can coexist with people who understand their need for freedom, space, and unpredictability will give them many happy years.
