I stole this from the Clinical Psychology forum, who stole it from the Psychiatry forum, who stole it from the Pre-Med forum. ;)

Here's a link to the test:

http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp

Or, for those who get bogged down by lengthy questionnaires, try the "Socionics Type Assistant TURBO" ... the shortest ever version of the MBTI test, built for speed... (it took me about 30 seconds to do this one)

http://www.socionics.com/sta/sta_turbo.html

Here's a description of each of the 16 types:

http://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/mbti-basics/the-16-mbti-types.asp

What MBTI personality are you? How does it fit?

I was typed as a "moderately expressed ISTJ", although in the past I used to be ISFJ and even ISFP. I guess I've been more of a thinker lately and for better or worse, have become more judgmental with age. :p

Members don't see this ad.
 
I also ended up as ISTJ:

ISTJ
Quiet, serious, earn success by thoroughness and dependability. Yup.
Practical, matter-of-fact, realistic, and responsible. Yes.
Decide logically what should be done and work toward it steadily, regardless of distractions. No way- I am very easily distracted.
Take pleasure in making everything orderly and organized – their work, their home, their life. True, even if I am not always as organized as I try to be.
Value traditions and loyalty. Very much so.

Interesting test, thanks for posting it here. :)
 
I got ISTJ too. Is this saying something about the average pharmacist personality.

E-N-T-J
1-100-12-11

Frank, decisive, assume leadership readily. Quickly see illogical and inefficient procedures and policies, develop and implement comprehensive systems to solve organizational problems. Enjoy long-term planning and goal setting. Usually well informed, well read, enjoy expanding their knowledge and passing it on to others. Forceful in presenting their ideas.

That **** explains why I hate that stupid ass BCS system so much and why I think everyone who disagrees is an idiot.

My Careers:
Management in Business or Education
Politics
Military Education
Finance

Yippee....
 
INFJ

Look like a lot of us are introverts. Interesting.
 
Here we go. How many of us chose the wrong career path?

ESTJ - Military, business administrators, managers, police/detective work, judges, financial officers, teachers, sales representatives, government workers, insurance agents, underwriters, nursing administrators, trade and technical teachers, mafia dons.

Thats it! Tommorow I drop out and join the United Sates Marine Corp.
 
ENTP
Quick, ingenious, stimulating, alert, and outspoken. Resourceful in solving new and challenging problems. Adept at generating conceptual possibilities and then analyzing them strategically. Good at reading other people. Bored by routine, will seldom do the same thing the same way, apt to turn to one new interest after another.

I guess that's why I became a pharmacist at the age of 50. I wonder what my next career will be? Out of the ENTP career list, I've already been a musician and a computer programmer
 
It had been a few years since I took the test - when I was kid I was an INTP, but then in college I was an INTJ. Still an INTJ today, too even though I feel like I've changed a bit and matured. Interesting!

Thanks for posting that list, WVU. I got a kick out of the "careers" in bold. :laugh:

ESFJ - Home economics, nursing, teaching, administrators, child care, family practice physician, clergy, office managers, counselers, social workers, bookkeeping, accounting, secretaries, organization leaders, dental assistants, homemakers, radiological technologists, receptionists, religious educators, speech pathologists.. They do best in jobs where they can apply their natural warmth at building relationships with other people

Not bad!! Pretty close... :D:thumbup:

We were required to do this before "Welcome Week" for pharmacy orientation. I'm an ISTJ, and they said this was the highest category for our class, as well, most people in society are ISTJ's.

How interesting, thanks for sharing. I think I read somewhere that Creighton required incoming pharmacy students to take the MBTI test. Did your school actually tailor classes/lectures according to the results of the test? Or was it primarily for personal awareness of your learning style, study habits, etc.?

My school had us take the MBTI during our P1 year as well! The point was to show us how introverted pharmacists are...and encourage students to open up. It's hard to be a good pharmacist if you hide behind the counter/computer/clipboard all day. Sure, that's an easy route to take, and you'll earn a pretty paycheck...but you've got to become a good communicator and assert yourself if you really want to be great.

So...that's why they had us take it :)

This is how I assert myself: if you didn't hear me the first time, I will speak loud enough so that I can't be ignored. Some people will not listen to shy pharmacists no matter how intelligent they are.

I'm not really sure what a "good communicator" is. It seems to be important, but no one will actually define it or suggest ways to improve "communication skills". The people who do have these "skills" just act they were born with it.

No one can explain why "communication" is actually the "key". They just mouth that off. It's suppose to be the "key" to any relationship too, but not matter how well a person "communicates", the receiving person may never like what is actually "communicated".

Hmmm...well, I understand what you're saying. It's hard to describe a "good communicator". But more than anything, I think making the attempt is what is key...at least initially. It seems like so many of us find comfort in hiding in the basement or behind the counter. So as long as you're willing to put yourself out there, that's what really matters. Eventually, you'll get good at it. Becoming a "good" communicator takes practice for some; as you mentioned, some are naturally born with it. But having the knowledge is useless if you aren't willing to communicate with the patient, rest of the medical team, and so on.

You know... you're right. We all communicate differently, so the effort should be what's most important.

Unfortunately, that doesn't always work out.
There was a person (sort-of celebrity) at work recently. They refused to listen to any information that was communicated, because it seemed like they wanted to "know it all". They didn't want to give the required identification information, refused to accept their co-pay, and refused to accept the seasoned pharmacist's explanation of their prescription.
Their defiance and self-righteousness was almost sad. No matter how well we tried to communicate the information, they would not accept what we had to offer.
 
ENFP
http://www.personalitypage.com/ENFP.html

The Inspirer

As an ENFP, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you take things in primarily via your intuition. Your secondary mode is internal, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit in with your personal value system.

ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people, typically very bright and full of potential. They live in the world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. Their enthusiasm lends them the ability to inspire and motivate others, more so than we see in other types. They can talk their way in or out of anything. They love life, seeing it as a special gift, and strive to make the most out of it.

ENFPs have an unusually broad range of skills and talents. They are good at most things which interest them. Project-oriented, they may go through several different careers during their lifetime. To onlookers, the ENFP may seem directionless and without purpose, but ENFPs are actually quite consistent, in that they have a strong sense of values which they live with throughout their lives. Everything that they do must be in line with their values. An ENFP needs to feel that they are living their lives as their true Self, walking in step with what they believe is right. They see meaning in everything, and are on a continuous quest to adapt their lives and values to achieve inner peace. They're constantly aware and somewhat fearful of losing touch with themselves. Since emotional excitement is usually an important part of the ENFP's life, and because they are focused on keeping "centered", the ENFP is usually an intense individual, with highly evolved values.

An ENFP needs to focus on following through with their projects. This can be a problem area for some of these individuals. Unlike other Extraverted types, ENFPs need time alone to center themselves, and make sure they are moving in a direction which is in sync with their values. ENFPs who remain centered will usually be quite successful at their endeavors. Others may fall into the habit of dropping a project when they become excited about a new possibility, and thus they never achieve the great accomplishments which they are capable of achieving.

Most ENFPs have great people skills. They are genuinely warm and interested in people, and place great importance on their inter-personal relationships. ENFPs almost always have a strong need to be liked. Sometimes, especially at a younger age, an ENFP will tend to be "gushy" and insincere, and generally "overdo" in an effort to win acceptance. However, once an ENFP has learned to balance their need to be true to themselves with their need for acceptance, they excel at bringing out the best in others, and are typically well-liked. They have an exceptional ability to intuitively understand a person after a very short period of time, and use their intuition and flexibility to relate to others on their own level.

Because ENFPs live in the world of exciting possibilities, the details of everyday life are seen as trivial drudgery. They place no importance on detailed, maintenance-type tasks, and will frequently remain oblivous to these types of concerns. When they do have to perform these tasks, they do not enjoy themselves. This is a challenging area of life for most ENFPs, and can be frustrating for ENFP's family members.

An ENFP who has "gone wrong" may be quite manipulative - and very good it. The gift of gab which they are blessed with makes it naturally easy for them to get what they want. Most ENFPs will not abuse their abilities, because that would not jive with their value systems.

ENFPs sometimes make serious errors in judgment. They have an amazing ability to intuitively perceive the truth about a person or situation, but when they apply judgment to their perception, they may jump to the wrong conclusions.

ENFPs who have not learned to follow through may have a difficult time remaining happy in marital relationships. Always seeing the possibilities of what could be, they may become bored with what actually is. The strong sense of values will keep many ENFPs dedicated to their relationships. However, ENFPs like a little excitement in their lives, and are best matched with individuals who are comfortable with change and new experiences.

Having an ENFP parent can be a fun-filled experience, but may be stressful at times for children with strong Sensing or Judging tendancies. Such children may see the ENFP parent as inconsistent and difficult to understand, as the children are pulled along in the whirlwind life of the ENFP. Sometimes the ENFP will want to be their child's best friend, and at other times they will play the parental authoritarian. But ENFPs are always consistent in their value systems, which they will impress on their children above all else, along with a basic joy of living.

ENFPs are basically happy people. They may become unhappy when they are confined to strict schedules or mundane tasks. Consequently, ENFPs work best in situations where they have a lot of flexibility, and where they can work with people and ideas. Many go into business for themselves. They have the ability to be quite productive with little supervision, as long as they are excited about what they're doing.

Because they are so alert and sensitive, constantly scanning their environments, ENFPs often suffer from muscle tension. They have a strong need to be independent, and resist being controlled or labelled. They need to maintain control over themselves, but they do not believe in controlling others. Their dislike of dependence and suppression extends to others as well as to themselves.

ENFPs are charming, ingenuous, risk-taking, sensitive, people-oriented individuals with capabilities ranging across a broad spectrum. They have many gifts which they will use to fulfill themselves and those near them, if they are able to remain centered and master the ability of following through.

Frighteningly accurate. Here are the other descriptions http://www.personalitypage.com/high-level.html
 
They had us take it so that we could learn about ourselves and how to interact with other types of people. They keep it on file and reference it when needed.

I don't think it will come up in a class, though. They don't tailor it, either.

How interesting, thanks for sharing. I think I read somewhere that Creighton required incoming pharmacy students to take the MBTI test. Did your school actually tailor classes/lectures according to the results of the test? Or was it primarily for personal awareness of your learning style, study habits, etc.?
 
wow most people are introverts. not surprising for a pharmacy career.

interesting thiing: I took this years ago and I scored differerntly than I do now. in fact it changes all the time. it depends on what mood im in when I take the test.
When im happy I scored E. when I just want everyoen to F off I score I, for example.
Also, I've changed over the years and the environment/ classes/friends/jobs and such shaped me differently so the results also change.

I'm INFJ.
 
ENFP

ANd I am a Champion Idealist which only 3% of people are. Those 3% include Phil Donahue however so......
# moderately expressed extravert
# moderately expressed intuitive personality
# moderately expressed feeling personality
# slightly expressed perceiving personality
 
INFJ, although I have become more extraverted as I have gotten older.
 
I'm an INFJ too, apparently.
This is interesting. I found most of the things said about INFJ personality are true, at least for me.
 
I was about to post a similar threat but this thread came up.

I was just curious about the most prevalent Myers-Briggs type for pharmacists and pharmacy student. I'm INFP. It is interesting that most prevalent types are INTJ/ESTJ. Comparing with the general percentage of people in the US (http://www.mbticlub.com/final/mbti_type_percentages.asp), the percentage for INTJ is much higher here.

INFP - Writers, artists, counselers, social workers, English teachers, fine arts teachers, child care workers, clergy, missionaries, psychologists, psychiatrists, scientists, political activists, editors, education consultants, journalists, religious educators, social scientists.. Driven by a strong sense of personal values, they are also highly creative and can offer support from behind the scenes.

According to WVUPharm2007, I may get into a wrong career path.. no pharmacist in the list... well no pharmacist in his list anyway.

ISFJ
Quiet, friendly, responsible, and conscientious. Committed and steady in meeting their obligations. Thorough, painstaking, and accurate. Loyal, considerate, notice and remember specifics about people who are important to them, concerned with how others feel. Strive to create an orderly and harmonious environment at work and at home.

Yup looks like I'm in the right place.
 
INTP.. sometimes i think im an ENTP though

I feel like there's too much J around here

From what I heard from my counselor, "J" is the majority of the US population anyway. Our society prefers a structured personality that abide the rules. law, and regulations without much flexibility.

There's so much that I could say about this.

Living in a "J" world isn't easy for a "P", especially an introverted "P", yet "Ps" are supposed to give a crap and somehow smoothly integrate themselves into the bull****.

You know... I drove speeds of 97-100 MPH in my car today, and it was one of the best feelings that I have had in a long time; I really like the sensation of speed/acceleration.
Now if I had followed the speed limit, which is part of this "structured" country, then I would have totally missed out.

MMMM I LOVE doing that! :D I think P's and J's can get along fine. We're Mirror Partners and we can be great friends despite the differences according to socionics :)

I'm an INTP also. I'm always thinking about how something works or the infinite possibilities. A lot of people think I'm eccentric and always coming up with new ideas that are ingenious. Also, I find great difficulty in staying within the lines and following strict rules. What input have people given you about your personality??
 
i forget, but i thought that some website once told me that the ENTP (me, half the time, when im not intp) natural romantic partner was the INTJ. which makes some sense... maybe i'll find the perfect person in pharmacy school??!! It's amazing there are so many woman INTJs here, i thought they were relatively rare.

I definitely think P and J's go together well. I find Js help me capture and streamline my ideas and put them into action, and I think perceivers can give a wider perspective and introduce some freedom into the intj's more rational, logical world.

thought's anyone?? Anyone know what their supposed perfect match is ?

What? If you're ENTP, your duality match is ISFP.
I flip flop between E and I too. Depends on if I'm happy or not.
 
For P vs J, check this out: http://www.socionics.com/articles/irra.htm.

"Judging types usually plan their actions beforehand and try to follow this plan. They tend to choose the shortest distance to the target moving along in a direct line. In a stable atmosphere this behaviour is optimal because it allows Judging types to calculate the most optimal life. However, a changing situation causes Judging types trouble with fulfilling their plans."

"Perceiving types flow with changes. It seems as if they feel oncoming change long before Judging types can even see it. As a result they avoid obstacles in their way with virtuosity."

"In conclusion, the difference in Judging-Perceiving causes a great deal of friction in close relationships. The irrational behaviour of Perceiving types may be unexpected and unpredictable for Judging types, creating more obstacles. In return, the rational behaviour of Judging types forces Perceiving types to follow rules, plans and schedules which will most likely make their life miserable."



In my opinion, relationships between Ps and Js that require a lot of decisions would not be ideal- not at all.

I got my info from this site i guess

http://www.personalitypage.com/INTJ_rel.html

but i have no real idea about any of this.

http://www.personalitypage.com/INTP_rel.html

I do know i am an INTP so i guess i should find an ENTJ or ESTJ ??

what does your info say about INTP's match?

I come up as ENTP occasionally but a closer look at myself and the fact that I need alone time to "recharge" would suggest I instead of E.

But yeah J's can be frustrating sometimes

Well... it would be refreshing to have an ENFJ friend :), because I've never been able to have a genuine, sincere friendship with an ENFJ. The two ENFJs that I know, personally, are very difficult to get along with, which is also the case with everyone else who tries to befriend them, too.

"Judging types usually plan their actions beforehand and try to follow this plan. They tend to choose the shortest distance to the target moving along in a direct line. In a stable atmosphere this behaviour is optimal because it allows Judging types to calculate the most optimal life. However, a changing situation causes Judging types trouble with fulfilling their plans."

"Perceiving types flow with changes. It seems as if they feel oncoming change long before Judging types can even see it. As a result they avoid obstacles in their way with virtuosity."

"In conclusion, the difference in Judging-Perceiving causes a great deal of friction in close relationships. The irrational behaviour of Perceiving types may be unexpected and unpredictable for Judging types, creating more obstacles. In return, the rational behaviour of Judging types forces Perceiving types to follow rules, plans and schedules which will most likely make their life miserable."



In my opinion, relationships between Ps and Js that require a lot of decisions would not be ideal- not at all.
So true. All my close friends are J's, but I have an ENFP girl who I like for late night rendezvous for food cravings and I have to admit she is my third eye for relationship issues.
 
Sounds about right. I used to be ENFJ but I've changed in my old age.

INFJ - Counselers, clergy, missionaries, teachers, medical doctors, dentists, chiropractors, psychologists, psychiatrists, writers, musicians, artists, psychics, photographers, child care workers, education consultants, librarians, marketeers, scientists, social workers.. Blessed with an idealistic vision, they do best when they seek to make that vision a reality.

I've never met another ENFJ before :hungover: I would like to meet one, so I can see what I act like. Have you met your identical match?
