Personality Tests

Post by PocketKings »

I don't know how many of you have taken them, but I wish I would have before joining the Army. I'm curious as to how some of you have or will score. More importantly, how you have used the information gleaned to establish your own personal leadership style.

The second and third links are to tests you can take online. take the Jung test (also known as the Myers-Briggs Indicator). The Wiki article shows what famous people you stack up against.

Me? I'm a ENTJ. I rank up there with Hitler and Nixon.

Unsympathetic! HA!

If I were a cadet or DEP, I'd take one. We had to take them in my MBA program and they helped towards putting good groups together.

It pegged me pretty accurately:

Introverted (I) 53.13% Extroverted (E) 46.88%
Sensing (S) 73.53% Intuitive (N) 26.47%
Thinking (T) 65.71% Feeling (F) 34.29%
Judging (J) 80.65% Perceiving (P) 19.35%


Your type is: ISTJ


Description from Wikipedia:

Keirsey Characteristics
According to Keirsey, ISTJs, or "Inspector Guardians," are careful and thorough in examining people and institutions. Composing about 6 to 10 percent of the population, Inspectors are decisive in practical affairs. These guardians of institutions are perhaps best described as dependable: ISTJs are people of their word, intent on preserving social and family values. At home and at work, Inspectors reliably examine the people and products that fall under their responsibility—unobtrusively ensuring uniform quality and demanding that certain standards of conduct are maintained.

In both their professional and personal lives, individuals of this type are rather quiet and serious. ISTJs are extraordinarily persevering and dependable. The thought of dishonoring a contract would appall a person of this type. When they give their word, they give their honor. ISTJs can be counted on to conserve the resources of the institution they serve and bring to their work a practical point of view. They perform their duties without flourish or fanfare; therefore, the dedication they bring to their work can go unnoticed and unappreciated.

While not directly seeking leadership positions, ISTJs are often placed in such roles. They build a reputation for reliable, stable, and consistent performance that causes others to select them to lead. ISTJs use their past experience and their factual knowledge in their decision making.

For the ISTJ, love means commitment, steadiness, and consistency. ISTJs expect themselves and their mates to be responsible, practical, and dependable. When in a relationship, they behave appropriately for what the situation or their role demands. For example, if the relationship is in the courting stage, the ISTJ will exhibit courting behaviors, such as giving boxes of candy, red roses and presents. These are worthwhile and important traditions to uphold and observe because they give direct evidence of commitment.

My bud took the Jung test at some point. He came out ISTJ as well. Supposedly it is the perfect type for some type of spooky work. Which, I don't know.

Apparently the 'Introverted' isn't what most people think of when they use the term. This 'introverted' just means more likely to be the 'strong, silent type.' Everyone thinks SOF guys are all loud mouthed braggarts, but the truth is that FAR more fit into the Introverted (under this definition) category (not given to brag or boast, or even talk unless they have to).

I like this stuff. It fits under the old 'Be,Know, Do' Leadership stuff (a leader must know himself). Its not like any of the results aren't stuff we already know, but it helps to have it put into terms.

When I took it I was an ISTJ. For what it's worth.

Was I telling the truth or not? What’s my personality type? I bet it doesn’t exist anyway.
