My Jung personality type




  • Introverts tend to be reflective, reserved and private. A popular misconception is that Introverts are shy - this is not necessarily so. They draw their energy from their own thoughts and the time they spend alone. Introverts do not need people around them all the time.
                  • iNtuitives pay more attention to information that is imaginative and original. iNtuitives focus on the future.
                                      • Thinkers make decisions using logic and impersonal analysis. They think with their heads rather than their hearts.
                                                      • Judgers prefer a lifestyle that is decisive, planned and orderly. They like a life that is organized and controlled

                                                      An INTJ at-a-glance

                                                      You are a natural leader. You are a confident and original thinker, and believe strongly in yourself. You are a strong individualist who seeks new angles or novel ways of looking at life. In general, you are an extremely capable and intelligent individual who strives to always do their best and continue to move in a positive direction.

                                                      Obstacles are challenges for you. You focus on your goal, creatively develop a plan and then pour all your energy into achieving your objective. Because you get so inspired and involved in what you are doing, your energy level can be awesome to behold! Of all the Personality Types, yours is the most independently individualistic.

                                                      Inventive - inspired - persistent - creative - imaginative and determined. These are all descriptions that are likely to be used by people who know you well.

                                                      Every Jung Personality type has one or two specific nicknames that concisely describe your Jung personality type, e.g. Inventor, Strategist, Protector and others..

                                                      Your probable contributions to an organization

                                                      Each Personality Type has a different set of skills, talents and attributes that they bring to an organization, group or relationship. Here is a list of those most commonly associated with Personality Types like you - INTJ.
                                                      • Has faith in his/her own inner vision which, coupled with sheer willpower, moves mountains.
                                                      • Is emphatically determined to accomplish goals and master new skills.
                                                      • Produces original thinking and is a high achiever.
                                                      • Excels at analysis: categorizes and develops strategies with accuracy and precision.
                                                      • Enjoys working in an environment where there is freedom to design future plans and visions.

                                                      On a team

                                                      Some people work well on teams, others work best on their own. Understanding the personality types of team members provides information about how individuals are likely to carry out their work and interact with each other. Given your personality preferences, the following are the strengths (and possible weaknesses!) you will most likely bring to a team:
                                                      • Participates, but in his/her own reserved style.
                                                      • Asks thoughtful and searching questions.
                                                      • Systematically schedules and completes tasks on time.
                                                      • Can be a team player if doing so will get the job done.
                                                      • Analyzes the alternatives and offers new perspectives.

                                                      Ignoring/shunning others...


                                                      I do this all the time. It's quite easy for me to do. I actually pride myself on this ability, as people (females, mostly) tend to irritate and drain the hell out of me. It really depends strongly on the person/personality and whether or not said person is actually worth my time or not; I tend to be very choosy in who I deal with. Also it's because I tend to be preoccupied a lot with different things and simply don't have the time, so a lot of folks aren't high on my priority list, if they're even on it to begin with. A lot of this is self-preservation and just basic self-respect, but some of it is because I just don’t put a lot of deliberate effort in trying to pay attention to someone or something. I simply pay attention to whomever or whatever naturally grabs my focus. I will only do what feels comfortable to me, which is why I choose to ignore people I don’t know very well. And unless the other person makes an effort to be social with me, chances are that we'll not have any further dealings with each other. To be completely honest, many of the individuals I've met simply don’t match well with me in terms of intellect, values, and interests. They're not the kind of people I'd wanna get to know/be cool with, and vice versa. I'm pretty likable (more than most, I'd say), but again, it strongly depends on who it is. Also, in the real world, verbal contact is taxing, I spend my lunch hour by myself, and I've completely cut off all contact with several people when I realized how insane they were and how much more important my own mental/emotional state was. Online, I deliberately ignore confrontational and illogical forum threads and people, whether it's on the forums I frequent or elsewhere. At the end of the day, no one's worth it.

                                                      Brain Sex profile results

                                                      (Courtesy of the Brain Sex I.D. test; completely accurate and interesting results.)

                                                      Your personal brain score:
                                                      Average score for MEN who've taken this survey:
                                                      Average score for WOMEN who've taken this survey:

                                                      Your score for each task
                                                      back to top
                                                       Part 1

                                                       Angles
                                                       This task tested your ability to identify the angle of a line by matching it with its twin. This is a spatial task, which looks at how you picture space.
                                                      Your score: 16 out of 20
                                                      Average score for men: 15.1 out of 20
                                                      Average score for women: 13.3 out of 20

                                                      What does your result suggest?

                                                      If you scored 0 - 12: You have more of a female brain. Scientists believe that people with a female brain find it more difficult to judge the slope of a line because they're not wired for spatial tasks. In past studies, 65 per cent of people who scored in this range were women.
                                                      If you scored 13 - 17: You found this test neither hard nor easy. This suggests your brain has male and female traits when it comes to spatial ability.
                                                      If you scored 18 - 20: You have more of a male brain. On average, men outperform women in this task and those with more mathematical knowledge tend to score quite high as well. In past studies, 60 per cent of the people in this range were men.
                                                      Interestingly, men's testosterone levels fluctuate through the seasons and studies have shown that men's scores are lower in the spring, when their testosterone levels are at their lowest.
                                                      Do our cave dwelling ancestors offer us any clues about why men and women score differently on this task? Find out more.
                                                       Spot the difference
                                                       This task tested your ability to identify which objects changed position. You lost points, if you incorrectly identified objects.
                                                      Your score: 14%
                                                      Average score for men: 39%
                                                      Average score for women: 46%

                                                      What does your score suggest?

                                                      If you scored between 0 - 33%: You may have more of a male brain. Scientists say men tend to under perform in this task. The corpus callosum, the part of the brain that links the right and left hemispheres, is a fifth larger in women. This means women can process visual and other signals at the same time more easily than men. There is also a theory that oestrogen levels in women give them an added advantage in spatial memory.
                                                      If you scored between 34 - 66%: You may have a balanced female-male brain.
                                                      If you scored between 67 - 100%: Those with a female-type brain generally score in this range. Your ability to remember where objects are may serve as an advantage to you when you're trying to find your way around places. You're more capable of recalling landmarks to get from one place to another.

                                                       Hands
                                                       You said your right thumb was on top when you clasped your hands together.
                                                      Right thumb on top: This suggests the left half of your brain is dominant. Many studies have tried to establish whether there is a relationship between handedness and brain dominance. Some scientists believe that if you are left brain dominant, you would be more verbal and analytical.
                                                      Left thumb on top: This suggests the right half of your brain is dominant. Some studies theorise that as a right brain dominant person, you may excel in visual, spatial and intuitive processes.
                                                      However, these theories are debatable and leave much to be said about the small percentage of people who are ambidextrous.

                                                       Emotions and Systems
                                                       This task looked at whether you prefer to empathise or systemise.
                                                      Empathising

                                                      Your empathy score is: 1 out of 20
                                                      Average score for men: 7.9 out of 20
                                                      Average score for women: 10.6 out of 20

                                                      What does your result suggest?

                                                      Empathisers are better at accurately judging other people's emotions and responding appropriately. If you scored 15 and above, you are very empathic and would be an ideal person to comfort people in a time of crisis. Women in general are better at empathising.

                                                      Systemising

                                                      Your systemising score is: 10 out of 20
                                                      Average score for men: 12.5 out of 20
                                                      Average score for women: 8.0 out of 20
                                                      What does your result suggest?

                                                      Systemisers prefer to investigate how systems work. A system can be a road map, flat pack furniture, or a mathematical equation – anything that follows a set of rules. A score of 15 and above suggests you're good at analysing or building systems. Men in general are better at systemising.
                                                      Scientists are keen to learn more about people who score high or low on both tests. They want to find out whether or not empathising and systemising are linked. Is a possible to make yourself more empathic?
                                                      Some scientists claim that our empathy and systemising abilities can be traced all the way back to prehistoric times. Find out more.

                                                       Eyes
                                                       This task tested your ability to judge people's emotions.
                                                      Your score: 7 out of 10
                                                      Average score for men: 6.6 out of 10
                                                      Average score for women: 6.6 out of 10
                                                      What does your result suggest?

                                                      If you scored 0 - 3: Do you think you're good at judging how another person is feeling? Your score suggests this doesn't come to you quite so naturally.
                                                      If you scored 4 - 6: Your result suggests you have a balanced female-male brain and find it neither easy nor difficult to judge people's emotions.
                                                      If you scored 7 - 10: Your result suggests you are a good empathiser, sensitive to other people's emotions. Women generally fall into this category.
                                                      Professor Baron-Cohen at the University of Cambridge says that people usually perform better than they expect to on this test.
                                                      Men often think a person's eyes are sending signals of desire when that's not the case at all. Find out more.

                                                       We asked you to measure your ring and index fingers. Your ratios came to:
                                                      Right Hand: 0.91
                                                      Left Hand: 0.91

                                                      Average ratio for men: 0.982
                                                      Average ratio for women: 0.991It's thought that your ratio is governed by the amount of testosterone you were exposed to in your mother's womb. The ratio of the length of your index finger to the length of your ring finger is set for life by as early as three months after conception. Even during puberty, when we experience intensive hormonal changes, the ratio stays the same.
                                                      Men generally have a ring finger that is longer than their index finger, which gives them a lower ratio than women, whose ring and index fingers are usually of equal length.
                                                      Studies have found that men and women with lots of brothers generally have more masculine finger ratios. Find out what other things scientists think our ratios may tell us.

                                                       Faces
                                                       This task looked at how you rate the attractiveness of a series of faces. The images you looked at were digitally altered to create slight differences in masculinity.
                                                      Your choices suggest you prefer more masculine faces.
                                                      Highly masculinised male faces possess more extreme testosterone markers such as a long, broad and lower jaw, as well as more pronounced brow ridges and cheekbones.
                                                      Interestingly, women's preferences are said to vary across the menstrual phase. A more masculine face is preferred during the 9 days prior to ovulation, when conception is most likely.
                                                      A typical 'attractive' female face possesses features such as a shorter, narrower, lower jaw, fuller lips and larger eyes than an average face.
                                                      Are you surprised at what researchers think they can learn from your answers?Find out more.

                                                       3D shapes
                                                       This task tested your ability to mentally rotate 3D shapes.
                                                      Your score: 8 out of 12
                                                      Average score for men: 8.2 out of 12
                                                      Average score for women: 7.1 out of 12
                                                      What does your result suggest?

                                                      If you scored 0 - 6: Do you find yourself having to physically rotate a map to point in the direction in which you're travelling? This might explain why you scored in the lower range in the 3D shapes test. Twice as many women as men score in this category. Previous studies suggest that those with a female-type brain or with an arts background fall into this range.
                                                      If you scored 7 - 9: In past studies, 50 per cent of the people who scored in this range were women and 50 per cent were men.
                                                      If you scored 10 - 12: Are you an engineer or do you have a science background? People with these skills tend to score in this range. Past studies have concluded that people in this range have a more male brain.
                                                      Nearly a third of men who took this test got full marks, whereas less than 10 per cent of women managed the same. Find out why.

                                                       Words
                                                       This task looked at your verbal fluency.
                                                      Your score: you associated 7 word(s) with grey and you named 9 word(s) that mean happy. We are assuming that all the words you entered are correct.
                                                      Average score for men: 11.4 words total
                                                      Average score for women: 12.4 words total
                                                      What does your result suggest?

                                                      If you produced 1 - 5 words: You are more of the strong, silent type with a male brain. You probably find it easier to express yourself in non-verbal ways, preferring action rather than words.
                                                      If you produced 6 - 10 words: Most people in this range have a female-type brain.
                                                      Women are said to use both sides of the brain when doing verbal tasks while men mainly use their left side. Studies have shown that girls develop vocabulary faster than boys. This difference in brain power is caused by levels of pre-natal testosterone. Find out more .

                                                       Ultimatum
                                                       This task asked you how you would divide money.
                                                      If you had to split £50 with someone, you said you would demand £25
                                                      So far on the Sex ID test, men have demanded 51.6% (£25.80) of the pot and women have demanded 51.0% (£25.50), on average.

                                                      What does your response suggest?

                                                      Sex differences are small in this task. Demanding less than 60% of the pot (ie £30) is more typically female. Demanding more than 65% of the pot (ie £32.50) is more typically male.
                                                      Scientists believe that people with lower testosterone levels tend to take fewer risks so they are probably more willing to keep less for themselves. Those with higher testosterone levels tend to drive a harder bargain and are less compromising.
                                                      Men's testosterone levels fluctuate over the seasons and are at their lowest levels during the springtime. This is said to influence their bargaining power. Find out more about the role of testosterone.
