If you haven't already come across it, the MBTI or Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a personality test, that determines what you are out of:
E/I (Extravert/Introvert)
S/N (Sensing/Intuition)
T/F (Thinking/Feeling)
J/P (Judging/Perceiving)

For example: I am an INFP - and Introvert, iNtuition, Feeling, Perceiving.

What are you? Take this test to find out.

Alternatively, take this shorter test;

I'm still an INFP (and the first time I took the test was a while back)
I aim to misbehave.

I took a clinical test for this, actually! I am a INTP.

INTJ, just as predicted.
A man without a plan, or anything else for that matter. (Except a review thread).

ENFP. Sounds about right.
Noelle is the name, reviewing and writing cliffhangers is the game.

Writer of fantasy, action/adventure, and magic. Huzzah!

So is what we've learned is that writers are introverted. It said I am ISTJ but it had Sensing/Intuitive at 50/50 and Judging/Perceiving at 50/50 so for whatever thats worth.

Hey, I know this test.

Anyhow, INFJ.

I guess I'm the only E here. Interesting. Outgoing people DO exist on the internet! :P

I think it's more like:

''An extrovert writer? *blinks* ''

sort of expression :D

There are lots of extrovert writers. Extrovert/introvert just means you get more energy when you're with people / or you get more energy when you're alone. That being said, no one is purely 100% introverted or 100% extroverted. Everybody is both things in different cases. And both introverts and extroverts use the internet frequently :P

An ENFP is statistically the most introverted of the extroverts. They have a dominant extroverted intuition function which means they're /very/ creative people and likely to be more perceptive of other people - this would make them excellent writers! Especially when trying to develop ideas and characters.

Some of these online tests give the wrong impression for what these results really mean. I recommend watching these videos for a bit more accurate information on these types.

That being said - clinically tested as an INFJ (whoot!)

For anybody who's interested - I found this free online test to be more accurate when compared to other tests, because it focuses on cognitive functions rather than categorical personalities :/ - but it is a lot more cumbersome to take v-v; I'd say 30-40mins.

Then I'd just analyze the results using the videos to get a better understanding for each type and it breaks it down by function! (yay youtube!)



You must never give into despair. Allow yourself to slip down that road, and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength.
