...Cloud, you're missing the point. As I mentioned before, these tests are internet based, the ones that you're taking that is. I already addressed that in that they're inaccurate and unreliable. I also mentioned that it's up to you, the reader, to make the final call on what type you are. In everyone I know, from my class to others I've discussed this with, it's been uncannily accurate.

I also mentioned that in the event of extremely dramatic events, these COULD change, but they usually do not. Fun fact, though: Every INTP I've known has initially called bullshit on this test. Only after reading more on it did they begin to come around. I recommend you do the same.

I'm not saying everyone follows one of these 100%. But I am quite certain now that most everyone follows one of these to at least 90%. And one of these sixteen variants will be significantly more accurate than all the others.

This isn't a debate or an argument. It's up to you if you believe in these sorts of tests or not. If you're some sort of anomaly in the human condition, I suppose it's possible you could be exempt. However, that seems very unlikely.

And as a final note, which parts of the personality changed? Because these things don't really have anything to do with our specific interests, quirks, hobbies, or anything of the sort. It's all about preferences and patterns. Not all people of the same type get along, and indeed some will have very different interests and hobbies.

Yeah, I was starting to think it was funny how everyone on this site was an introvert. And my school is so full of ENFPs it's not even funny.

Drew, your being ISFJ doesn't surprise me in the least.

And Cloud, you're free to perceive the world the way you want to.

Better to disagree with another non-expert, than disagree with an expert.
