BAM.

ISFP is always my most common result~~

@ClockReject We're almost opposite from each other. 3 out of 4. xD
You - ISFP
Me - INTJ

I've taken a number of these tests over the years, and I've always gotten INFJ, never anything else, so I think it's pretty accurately me.

ISFP - which rings true for me :P

I got INTP which is dead right for me.

Since it's been some time since I've taken one of these tests I used both those you listed.

SimilarMinds Results:

Extroverted (E) 52% Introverted (I) 48%
Sensing (S) 69% Intuitive (N) 31%
Feeling (F) 67% Thinking (T) 33%
Judging (J) 67% Perceiving (P) 33%

Your type is: ESFJ

ESFJ - "Seller". Most sociable of all types. Nurturer of harmony. Outstanding host or hostesses. 12.3% of total population.

This test had a few questions which either did not apply to me or that I did not know the answer to and thus had to mark neutrally. which may have accounted for this inaccurate result. I'm the opposite of 'most sociable', I'm an introvert.

16Personalities results:

Your personality type: ISFJ (Assertive variant).

Breakdown of preferences: Mind - Introverted (19%), Energy - Observant (10%), Nature - Feeling (36%), Tactics - Judging (15%), Identity - Assertive (16%).

Also from 16Personalities

The ISFJ personality type is a unique group, in that many of their qualities often defy the definition of their individual personality traits. Though they possess the Feeling (F) trait, ISFJs have excellent analytical abilities; though they are Introverted (I), they have well-developed people skills and robust social relationships; and even though they are a Judging (J) type, as are all Sentinels (SJ), ISFJs are often receptive to change and new ideas. As with so many things, ISFJs are more than the sum of their parts, and it is the way they use these strengths that defines who they are.

ISFJ_1ISFJs are true altruists, meeting kindness with kindness-in-excess and engaging work and people they believe in with enthusiasm and generosity – there’s hardly a better type to make up such a large proportion of the population, nearly 13%. Combining the best of tradition and a desire to do good things, ISFJs can often be found in lines of work with a sense of history behind them, such as medicine, academics and charitable social work. However, they are unlikely to seek out managerial positions in these fields, and are still more unlikely to brag about their accomplishments – ISFJs prefer to be rewarded by seeing first-hand the positive impact of their efforts, and will remain enthusiastic simply knowing that what they do is genuinely appreciated by the people they care for.

This personal style is reflected in ISFJs’ preference for working in small, tight-knit groups, with as little friction as possible in the employer-employee relationship. If the employer is too brusque, especially when it comes to changing the rules unannounced, ISFJs will find themselves stressed and unhappy – they need time to prepare for change and new ideas, and while they are perfectly capable embracing such things, it’s important for a new approach to pass ISFJs’ moral filter. If a new idea trespasses on their principles, ISFJs will fight strongly for the traditional approach or existing norms and procedures.

ISFJs are often meticulous to the point of perfectionistic, and while they may sometimes procrastinate, if the rules are known, they can always be relied on to get the job done on time – ISFJs take their responsibilities personally, consistently going above and beyond and doing everything they can to exceed expectations and delight others, whether at work or at home. The challenge for ISFJs is ensuring that what they do is noticed – they have a tendency to underplay their accomplishments, and while their kindness is often respected, more cynical and selfish people are likely to take advantage of ISFJs’ dedication and humbleness by pushing work onto them and then taking the credit. ISFJs need to know when to say when and stand up for themselves if they are to maintain their confidence and enthusiasm.

Naturally social, an odd quality given that they are Introverted, ISFJs utilize an excellent memory not to retain data and trivia, but to remember people and details about their lives. When it comes to gift-giving, ISFJs have no equal, using their imagination and natural sensitivity to express their generosity in a way that will always touch the hearts of their recipients. While this is certainly true of their coworkers, whom ISFJs consider their personal friends more often than not, it is in family that their expression of affection blooms fully.

Though passionate about their work, home is where the heart is for ISFJs, and they take no greater pleasure than in being available for the people they love most. Here, ISFJs’ kindness goes beyond the mere exchange of gifts for gratitude, and into the joy that is found in truly taking care of another person’s needs, in being there for emotional and practical support whenever it’s needed. ISFJs may sometimes believe that they are doing this for their own benefit, but in reality it is a true expression of selflessness.

The trouble is, not everyone is prepared to receive the benefit of ISFJs’ kindness. Some personality types, especially the more independent ones such as INTJs, will find the emotional availability and attention that ISFJs offer up to be cloying or overbearing. Not everyone shares the same sensitivities and philosophies as ISFJs, and it’s important for them to not be put out when someone questions their kindness.

ISFJs are a wonderful group, rarely sitting idle while a worthy cause remains unfinished. ISFJs’ ability to connect with others on an intimate level is unrivaled among Introverts, and the joy they experience from using those connections to maintain a supportive, happy family is a gift for everyone involved. They may never be truly comfortable in the spotlight, and may feel guilty taking due credit for a team effort, but if they can find a way to ensure that their efforts are recognized, both in the workplace and at home, ISFJs are likely to feel a level of satisfaction in what they do that many other personality types can only dream of.

This is actually pretty accurate, interestingly I've never considered myself judgmental nor do I try to be however every time I've taken one of these tests I rate as Judging rather than Perceiving. According to SimilarMinds, the more times you take the test and receive the same results the more accurate they are.
Basically the only difference between these two results is the Extroverted/Introverted and depending on the questions that does tend to to go back and forth lot in my case. In a way I tend to have qualities of both. I'm the shy quite one with not so great social skills in person but do enjoy the company of others such as friends and family in some cases more than being alone.

That's the problem for me taking these tests, a lot of subjects they ask about I am unable to answer with 100% accuracy because it could go both ways depending on the specific situation.
For example one inquiry in the 16Personalities test was:
"If the room is full you remain near the walls and avoid the center"
If were talking about the living room at my house, then technically yeah only because what my mom refers to as my "command center" is in the corner of the room. At my best friend's annual New Year's party I have no problem sitting in the center of the room and often am when participating in a board game or watching a movie.
It also depends on how many people in the room I actually know and how well.
Most of the time I'll be comfortable in the center in a room full of people I know well but probably would duck in a corner in a room full of strangers.

So it's quite difficult to give accurate answers.

For the judging result, it's not that you judge people per say, judging in this case means that you have an idea of specific rules that you abide by and that everyone should abide by, so if someone goes against those rules (such as laws), you judge them accordingly. Kind of like a court room...sort of. We talked about that in my psychology class because that was everyone's reaction when they received judging as a result

@fireprincess - Thank you for your explanation. My J in my INTJ makes so much sense now!

I'm kind of an INFTJP my score alternates between INFJ and INTP

I couldn't take the bloody poll, because there was no option for "I don't know, it depends on which of my doctors you're talking to."

I have no freaking idea what category of person I could be assigned to, because even when I do the silly online tests I get different results each time.

Interesting, thank you for this explanation but see that doesn't exactly fit me either.
While I will think to myself that someone is an idiot for not following the rules, as long as it doesn't effect me I will not consider it my business to care.

I've also had my moments where I myself will bend rules which are not well paid attention to by the enforcer.
*Senior year of high school, second semester I was in this computer class. A short time into it I begun to notice that most of the class just freely used the internet rather than did the work and the teacher never seemed to notice. So I decided to take it upon myself to join 'the dark side' as it were haha, and was even somehow given some kind of award by that teacher for most hard working or something, I don't recall exactly haha. XD

*Aug 2010-March 2011: Part time job at my mother's office, there was a strict no free internet rule that I defied almost every day. I'd do the work and was praised as the most efficient but I'd have a browser window secretly opened to my favorite hangout sites, even Facebook a time or two.

*Don't remember the year but it was at least three years ago I was in an Astronomy class in which upon noticing another student with the habit took up playing my Nintendo DS during the lectures, though I'd also pay attention. To my surprise I'd ended up with an A in the class. If the teacher ever noticed me on the DS she was fine with it because she never acknowledged it.

I think it's ENFP, or maybe INFP, if I can recall correctly. The letters would only change depending on whether or not I was in school, or working. Retaking the test from "16 Personalities" I have gotten the result of...ENTP which is almost the other direction all together.

I guess it makes sense now.

Good visual of an introvert and extrovert. It's a good way to figure out which one you are, or maybe you're... both? Can you be both?

Everyone's a little of both, a little of each, really.

People see so many things in polarities when they're really spectrums.

I think it's a convenience thing, using categories for trying to figure people out, but just because it's convenient doesn't mean it's accurate.

Consider the fact that the mood you're in when you take the test can change your results, and the truth is a little more apparent.

LOL, those obnoxious predators be all up in my face, wanting to steal my energy!! Extroverts are energy vampires!

NO, YOU CANNOT HAS, MINES!!

I've definitely got introverted tendencies over extroverted, but I don't think we should let ourselves be defined too easily.

It's important to bear in mind that any sort of test you take isn't defining you as a person, or who you are, but only your preferences, your preferred ways of doing things, processing things, and interacting with others.

I know I've got the hamster-ball thing going on with myself, but there are times when I climb out.

I got ISFJ
It was interesting, I definately see alot of myself in the description but there is some stuff I'm like 'nah' XDD

@ Vera - Ironically I scored 0% extrovert on an official test

It's just for kicks.
If I really had to make an argument against any sort of personality or psychology test, all you have to look at who it was designed by, and for whom.

No problem! I felt the same way after it was explained to me

To me it sounds like if you had "judging" tendencies they'd probably be more on the lenient side, whereas there are people out there that are strictlers for every rule. The examples you described really aren't anything that would cause too much of a fuss, and in a couple of them you described following the rule bending after observing others "getting away with it". The judging in this case would be that that perticular "rule" really isn't much of a rule as it wasn't enforced, so the judging would kind of disappear (unless you were a strictler). Now, if you witnessed a mugging, you probably wouldn't think that just because one person did it its ok for everyone to start mugging, and you'd probably feel as though that person should be held accountable, especially if the victim was seriously injured or killed. Just kind of a broad example of what I mean :)
That's funny! Can I ask if that astronomy class was a college course? I've noticed that a lot of college professors don't give a you know what about what you do in class, as long as its not distracting. One professor I had was asked if they had a problem with students playing games on their laptop during class and his response was "Hey, if you want to pay hundreds of dollars for a class where you just sit and play games, that's fine with me. Just don't disrupt the class or others around you." It's like, if you pass when all you did was play games, fine. You passed, their job is done and that's all that matters. If you fail, it's your own fault, and the professor isn't any worse off either way

I usually flip-flop between ISTJ and INFJ. More often, with different tests, I get INFJ. I've only gotten ISTJ a few times. But that's interesting to me, because I definitely feel like I'm more INFJ. XD

Hey! I'm ENFJ. You are just one letter away from me. I've only ever gotten ENFJ, and I think it suits me to a T

That's really cool! Interesting that we're the same, minus E/I. I feel like I'm definitely more introverted than extroverted though. So that definitely suits me.

Yeah, I think it's because I spent more time around adults when I was younger rather than kids, so it's caused me to have a more mature personality for my age (so I'm often told), and that's why I'm more extroverted. I don't have problems talking to people, especially when they're older than me. I get along with adults really well....better than I do with people my age actually Really the only thing that makes me pause is when I'm around a guy I find attractive, but I'm working on it

I've always gotten INTJ on personality tests. I remember doing my first personality test when I was 17-18 for a psychology class. Then later for some other classes. Seems like a rather typical class activity even if the class is hardly related to the subject. I got the same results for both of the linked tests.

I agree with the majority of the descriptions but they are somewhat vague and interpretable. I don't know, I've always thought they were interesting but I've never put much stock in them.
