What is your personality/meyer-briggs type?

[speakeasy]

I think I straddle the line between INTP and INTJ. It seems like the best personality for being a natural DJ is a ESTP or ESFP. Definitely an ESxx something or another.

 

[PeterNorthisawesome]

WTF is ENTJ? I think the test bullsh't... my personality... is JERK. :trouble:

 

[Create Reality]

I feel bad for the guys whose personality is NONE :kick:

Interesting topic; seeing how myers-briggs types relate to DJness. I'm a strong INTJ.

Without giving it a whole lot of thought, I would think just about any of the profiles could be effective DJs with the right knowledge in-hand. As a natural "introvert", I have never and will never be the life of a party; it just ain't gonna happen. But one-on-one? I'm a sly, fully manipulating, and capable SOB . I think "it" works because introverts are naturally mysterious and if you open that door to a woman you're interested in, you're letting her into a world that you don't let many people into and I think they can recognize that its something special when "you" do that.

Surprising I had been an INTJ for a better part of my life. Over the last 10 years I evolved into a ENTP/J.

Is that even possible? I guess one is what they do, but it seems like it would be pretty hard to kill natural tendancies. That's worth me googling to see what the so-called experts say about that.

Who's to say that I was naturally an INTJ? I will admit that during my youth society had way more influence over my behavior. But still, change is always possible if a person is truly willing and authentically wants to.

I just had the understanding that once you're an adult, your personality is relative set, and though you can operate out of a comfort-zone, it doesn't change the actual zone (that much).

"2. Isn't it possible to change our type as a result of experiences or as a result of pressure to be different?

Under most "normal" circumstances, no. While we may change the way we behave and may develop all kinds of adaptive or accommodating skills or habits, we do not change our personality type. Now, under extraordinary circumstances (i.e. serious child abuse, extensive experience in a lifestyle or career that runs counter to your normal operating style), people can and sometimes do become so affected (or damaged) that they no longer recognize their "true" selves. But in most situations, all we are really changing is our behavior - not our inborn preference." "

I've been challenging the concept of "inborn preferences." Even though we have certain patterns we follow due to the remaining nural pathways we retain as adult, those basically are our innate talents. As for our actions and what we prefer to do, I don't believe that they're inborn.

People aren't typically born knowing how to do things straight out of the womb. People tend to learn actions, skills and behavior and gravitate to those which relate to innate talents or learned beliefs.

Talents and strengths are pretty much in an adult's foundation. Their actions and beliefs are offshoots which are formed though experiences (parents, society, school, peers, whatever provides influence for the person).

I'm an intuitive introvert.

My guess is that the P/J is the easist to change, I used to be very P'ish but now straddle the line between P and J. As I've gotten older, I have less tolerance for flakiness, indecisiveness, clutter, disarray so I'm moving more towards the J side.

I think it's possible for an I to pretent to be an E for awhile, but not without expending a lot of energy. Remember, Es and Is are defined by what energizes them. Es get their "batteries" charged by socializing, Is get their batteries charged by solitude. So when an E leaves a club, he's pumped up and ready to go to the after party. An I probably wants to go home and relax after a long night of socializing.

I think the S and N are pretty much fixed. And I think T and F are mostly fixed. I've never been an emotional, touchy feely person and can't imagine myself ever being one. In fact, overly emotional people can be annoying.

By the way, and I have found this very true from my own experience, you can match up with most other types of personalities, but you should always look for a girl who has the same S-N dimension as you. I don't mind if a girl is E I F J Tor P, but if she is S, then I just don't click with her. I prefer girls that are strong Ns. That's pretty much my only requirement.

I do believe certain areas and neural pathways in the brain become more intelligent as a result of exercise throughout maturity. But I also believe that the brain is constantly being developed and progress can be seen in ay area. I have checked these set personality types many times before, and while I lean toward certain tendencies, I am hardly lacking in development in any one area, and I have found that as I grow I continuously change likes - whether it be sports, music, humor, social, book, creative or whatever intelligence...

There have been differing periods in my life where I could say I leaned toward one personality type more than another.

If we have evolved, then this proves that the brain is adapting to different environments to produce the most efficient outcome.

I do not believe personality is static. I haven't researched this, but I highly doubt Myer-Briggs developed these personality types based on scientific studies of the brain. I am more convinced these set personality types are just theory.

I don't mind if a girl is E I F J Tor P, but if she is S, then I just don't click with her.

Come on, they can be the most fun.

Strangely I'm actually less judgemental now than when I was younger (shut up back there in the peanut gallery). Like you I don't tolerate flakiness and such, I just sidestep the situation more readily without feeling that I need to look back.

Heh, I'm an ENTP with J tendencies as well. Go figure.

 

[theunflushables]

[BlackJackal]

Most badboys have the ESFP personality type, so probably a good one for attracting women.
