This is the dominant function of the ENTP and the ENFP, auxiliary function of the INTP and INFP. This is the dominant function of the ESTP and the ESFP, auxiliary function of the ISTP and ISFP.Įxtraverted Intuition (Ne): The real-world is a springboard for future possibilities, theories, ideas, connections. We should be testing based on the functions…Įxtraverted Sensing (Se): The real world is a springboard for current opportunities, experience, and interaction. If you’re testing yourself based solely on dichotomies (E/I, S/N, F/T, J/P) then chances are you’re not getting the right type. Tests and indicators are focusing on dichotomies rather than the cognitive functions which form the entire foundation of personality type. In fact, even the official MBTI® isn’t great at typing people without the paired consultation of a knowledgeable practitioner. The tests widely available on the internet are not using the proper methods to type people. A thinking preference doesn’t indicate intelligence. Most sensors mistype as intuitives because tests are really limiting the scope of sensing.Īlso, a feeling preference isn’t related to how emotional you are. Both types can be imaginative and creative. Sensors are more focused on the real world and tangible opportunities and intuitives are more focused on abstract meanings, symbols, and theoretical possibilities. So most people test as intuitives, even if they aren’t. Everyone loves exciting possibilities and thinking about the future to a certain extent. The point is, most people type as introverts, especially because of the misconception that extraverts are shallow party animals and introverts are deeper and wiser than extraverts.Įveryone has imagination.

Wanting to stay home and binge on Netflix or use Snapchat doesn’t make you an introvert.Įveryone gets worn out from excessive socializing. We live in a world where everyone is addicted to technology and their phones, so more and more people are testing as introverted who are actually extroverts. These are the two most common mistypes I come across (but there are more, believe me!) What’s wrong with this?Įxtraverts like alone time, too. Okay, soo….the tests don’t actually have those exact same questions, but they have variations of those same questions and as a result anyone who likes alone time, plans, is emotional and has an imagination will test as INFJ.Īnyone who likes alone time, plans, and considers themselves logical and imaginative gets an INTJ result. Emotional people are stupid.įlawed Question 4 – Do you like having a plan? Person: Umm….both? Uhhh….maybe emotional? I’m not sure. Here’s how online tests get it wrong (in a nutshell):įlawed Question 1 – Do you like alone time?įlawed Question 2 – Do you have an imagination?įlawed Question 3 – Are you emotional or logical? Probably 9 out of 10 people who come to see me say that they’ve taken an online personality test and gotten one of 5 results (we’ll get into those later). Why Your Personality Type Result Might Be Wrong I only recommend products I truly believe in. Not sure what your personality type is? Personality Hacker has the most accurate free online personality indicator I’ve been able to find. ![]() Over the course of the last 10 years I’ve realized that there are certain types who nearly always mistype as other personality types, and that the online tests out there are really skewed in favor of certain types. As an MBTI® practitioner I work with a lot of people who aren’t sure of their type, or who ARE sure of their type but probably shouldn’t be. ![]()
