Myers-Briggs'n it
Apr. 28th, 2012 04:50 pmBecause all I am capable of these days is memes I guess (no there will be a baking post tomorrow or so)
My Myers-Briggs type is INTJ - occasionally on a quiz I will get INFJ or INFP but I haven't in years (yes...I take Myers-Briggs type tests often...lmfao).
If you're unfamiliar with Myers-Briggs tests, they indicate your personality type based on four factors. There are tons of them on the internet, if I find a link for a good one I'll come back and throw it up here. INTJ stands for introverted/intuitive/thinking/judging. A frequent misconception is that intuitive people (and especially NF people) are generally not very intellectual, since intuiting is often called the 'irrational' function (vs. sensing, the 'rational' function). I find it more accurate to view intuitive people as creative and big-picture/theoretical thinkers, whereas sensing people are somewhat more intellectually rigid and tend to focus on details.
BTW, I think people saying the Sorting Hat at Pottermore is actually a Myers-Briggs test are probably right. The questions are pretty nonstandard but it makes sense.
( ANYWAYS... )
