I'm interested to see how the users at TASVideos are classified according to Myers-Briggs personality type. The test attempts to indicate a preference towards personal methods of 'viewing the world'.
Personality Types:
How they focus their attention or get their energy (Extraversion or Introversion)
How they perceive or take in information (Sensing or iNtuition)
How they prefer to make decisions (Thinking or Feeling)
How they orient themselves to the external world (Judgment or Perception)
Taking the capital letter from each of these forms your personality type.
The questions are objective so in a way you're evaluating your preferences and motives. I'm just curious what sort of user base we have at this site. If you've done this before feel free to post your results, if you have a better test feel free to post that as well.
I am an INTJ - Introverted Intuitive [Thinking Judging]. I would speculate that most people that get involved with TASing would also be Introverted Intuitives. Introverted Intuitives supposedly make up 15% of the population, but I would speculate that an overrepresented proportion gather here.
A Personality TestWikipedia General ReadingIndividual descriptions of each Personality Type. Another Test (suggested by pirate_sephiroth) More Reading (suggested by pirate_sephiroth)
Approximate population in each personality type grabbed off some site.
INF_ - 7%
INT_ - 8%
ISF_ - 16%
IST_ - 20%
ENF_ - 11%
ENT_ - 9%
ESF_ - 18%
EST_ - 17%
Haven't done one of those in a couple years. Back then I was INTJ, but things have changed since then... INTJ! Color me surprised.
My "I" is higher than last time, but I don't wanna talk about it.
Paradoxically, I also took Bisqwit's RPG character poll again, and got "minor antagonist" instead of NPC, which is actually correct. I prefer to be the dragon than the one actually running things.
INFJ - 1.5% of the world population. I always knew I was something special. ;) The description kind of fits me.
I can sometimes read your emotions before even you yourself are aware of them, mwahaha! XD

Wow, three other INFJs there. Very strange.
Maybe they should add "you are likely to land on the forums of tasvideos.org someday" to the description of that personality type. >_>
I looked for a topic of that nature for about 5 minutes. In all fairness it could've been what type of cake are you. Inserting "personality" in the title would have made me not create a new topic.
I've never really been impressed with this test. The questions are really ambiguous.
My favorite example:
"You get bored if you have to read theoretical books"
Answer no, and the test interprets it the same as if you had answered no to any of the other "I like to think about things" questions. But in reality, it is very easy for a person to really enjoy theory and philosophy, but hate reading about someone else's theory... especially if it contradicts with theirs.
Imagine a professed Darwinist forced to read a lengthy essay which attempts to disprove evolution, or forced to read the Bible. There's no way they're not going to get bored out of their skull in minutes.
Not the best analogy, but hopefully you get my point.
Where's the goddamn SOMETIMES option? :(
Heh, turns out I'm ISTJ. In reality I'm extremely anti-social when having to physically meet with people, but put me in a chatroom or on a forum though and it's a totally different story :P
My current project: Something mysterious (oooooh!)
My username is all lower-case letters. Please get it right :(

There are ways: the argument may be clever, or their disposition may be to find contradictions (or even logical cogency) in the bible. The former, I suppose, would be a sign of erudition, and the latter a sign of an actively critical thinker.
A programmer who enjoys programming will read books on CS theory, because it helps them hone their skill. If we agree that programming is an intellectual practice, then we might generalize that ardent intellectuals enjoy reading theory.
...Though, the test does have a kind of crackerjack-box quality to it, so I'm not really defending that. I'm only arguing because your point bugged me. :p

2 years ago I was:
Extraverted Intuitive Feeling Judging
33 - 25 - 38 - 22
# moderately expressed extravert
# moderately expressed intuitive personality
# moderately expressed feeling personality
# slightly expressed judging personality
Now I am:
Extraverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving
1 38 12 33
# slightly expressed extravert
# moderately expressed intuitive personality
# slightly expressed feeling personality
# moderately expressed perceiving personality
I'm not judging anymore!!!!! Woohoo! Also the stats are much lower... I think I'm evolving to a super hero or something.
"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself.
It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the
kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional
functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success."

Neither can you clearly define all 240,000 species of flies by the word 'Fly.' It is a categorization, like this site attempts to give.
Whether or not it is accurate? Who knows. Don't attack the goal, attack the metric by which the result is achieved.
Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.

"Introverted Intuitive Thinking Judging
Strength of the preferences %
89 - 50 - 75 - 11
You are:
* very expressed introvert
* moderately expressed intuitive personality
* distinctively expressed thinking personality
* slightly expressed judging personality"
I guess I'm very introvert and not very judging. Doesn't come as a big surprise to me.
I looked for a topic of that nature for about 5 minutes. In all fairness it could've been what type of cake are you. Inserting "personality" in the title would have made me not create a new topic.
FYI, I looked for "myers-briggs", and it was the third result.

Hurray for being somewhat unusual but incredibly mainstream as far as this forum goes. I don't think the description given fits that well on me though, and a lot of times I was unsure of how I really felt about the questions asked (would have liked 3 or 5 options on some of the questions...).
