I should be finishing up this essay. Instead I found this:

Myers-Briggs's Made Relevant.



INFP: The Idealist

The INFP is a dreamy, imaginitive, idealist, capable of finding the good in anything or anyone, even something as foul as Newark, New Jersey. INFPs are sometimes dangerous to the well-being of society as a whole, as they are prone to adopting subversive and destructive ideologies like "The world should be fair," "People should treat one another well," and "You know, 'Friends' is a really, really stupid television show."

These irrational thought patterns may sometimes cause INFPs to run off and join the circus, the Resistance, or the Rebellion, where they tend to do well in any position requiring excellent hand-eye coordination or mastery of the Force.

COMPATIBILITY: INFPs and ISTJs generally exhibit a natural predator/prey relationship, which, though it might appear harsh and cruel from the outside, is all part of the natural cycle of life. In fact, were it not for the predation of the ISTJ, the population of INFPs would soon grow to unsustainable levels, overwhelming the ability of their ecological niche to support them.

Famous idealists include that girl in your sixth-grade homeroom who got the teacher fired for saying that girls aren't good at math; that guy in the cubicle next to yours who got the manager fired for saying that women don't make good employees; and Anais Nin.


ENFP: The Scientologist

The ENFP is a creative thinker who sees all humanity as connected to a cosmic whole, and gives of himself tirelessly to improve the condition of his fellow man.

Whether he's creating bizarre religions aimed at bringing us all back to our origins as immortal space aliens made of pure thought or conducting seminars and classes on alien abduction, the ENFP is always seeking the answers to the great mysteries of life, such as "Who are we?" and "How can I use two tin cans and a Radio Shack multimeter to bring enlightenment to the world?" and "What is it with UFOs and anal probing, anyway?"

RECREATION: The ENFP is gregarious, outgoing, and slightly silly; they often spend their leisure time engaged in role-playing games, having pillow fights that lead to wild, lustful lesbian orgies, or being abducted by space aliens.

COMPATIBILITY: ENFPs are happiest in relationships with Tom Cruise.

Famous ENFPs include anyone who has ever dated Tom Cruise.



...which just goes to show that I'm probably better off being gregarious 'cause being Introverted doesn't work so well with the rest of my personality. ::wry grin:: Though relationship prospects look better, oddly enough, with being Introverted. huh.

Haha!

I am apparently either a member of the Thought Police or a Beaurocrat.

Sooo, you've dated Tom Cruise...

*Supinas records of your thoughts for the public good*

*Wiretaps everything in sight and out of sight*

He is a bit short, enit? Add in the crazy-bastard bit, and there's a bit of a stumbling block, I guess.

*notes: No threat. Unless very skilled in misdirection, in which case v. big threat. Further analysis later. Oooh, shiny!*

I know! No painkillers either! I mean, OUCH

BPAL is so awesome.

That, or the craziness that seems to be endemic wherever he goes, you know?
Wednesday, October 26th, 2005 12:55 pm (UTC)
I keep myself from looking at the site too often, because it's all just so tempting.

He started suing pranksters? What the hell is wrong with him?
Wednesday, October 26th, 2005 07:09 pm (UTC)
Oh no! I love vanilla!

He sued them for squirting him with water? WTF is he smoking?

I'm somewhere bewteen ENTP (The Mad Scientist) and INTP (The Egghead). The descirptions for both are appallingly accurate. *dies*
Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 10:58 pm (UTC)
Man, this bit? The INTP can often understannd even the most subtle nuances of lattice quantum chromodynamics, but cannot perform more concrete tasks such as dressing himself, operating a motor vehicle, or opening a door.

SO TRUE! I smack into the walls on a daily basis. I did it just a few hours ago because I was too consumed with my thoughts about how exactly a person might be able teleport himself, scientifically speaking, to notice where I was going. Seriously.
Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 04:01 pm (UTC)
Another of my friends testing borderline I/E I'd never have believed it of. I never come close to testing E, my greay area's between INTJ and INFJ. I think I'll take the contractor over the conspiracy theorist who bites the dust, thanks!
Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 11:01 pm (UTC)
There's actually quite a bit of overlap with INTP and ENTP, I think. I really depends on the situation to determine how social I'll be. I'm generally a loner by choice, but I can be extremely social when I need to be.

Either way, I'm seem to be a carzy genius. XD
Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 11:02 pm (UTC)
*crazy.

A genius who can't spell! How very INTP of me. *dies*
Wednesday, October 26th, 2005 07:10 am (UTC)
Yeah, I can do full sociable mode for a while - sometimes a very short while, depending who with! I'm better than I used to be. But if I don't get my alone time, I want to scream.

Being a little crazy is good for the soul :-)
Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 02:47 pm (UTC)
*laughs*

I'm INTJ, 'the outside contractor', and for years my friends have been telling me that a supervillain would have an exponentially better chance of success if he had me working for him.
Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 11:05 pm (UTC)
Point them out to me, too! They'll need a Mad Scientist, after all, and I have no interest in being the figurehead of the operation. Too risky. I'll pull the strings and blow up the world from behind the curtain.
Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 02:50 pm (UTC)
*cracks up* Fun results!
Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 02:58 pm (UTC)
Manip, sadly. But you should check out the anime it came from, One Piece!
Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 03:29 pm (UTC)
THE ANIMATIONS ARE BOTH REAL. Zoro, panting while eagle-spread on the ground, Luffy's head bobbing up and down at that very angle -- I capped them each frame by frame from the actual episodes. I just had to put them together at the end. XDD God, I love it when canon can be twisted so deliciously.
Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 03:10 pm (UTC)
Oh, these are great. I'm an INFP myself, and this rings entirely too true. I'd rather be Anais Nin than get people fired, though.
Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 03:46 pm (UTC)
She wrote really good porn. Find "Little Birds." Definately worth it.
Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 03:59 pm (UTC)
A scientologist? Dooood, you scare me! And I'd never have thought you'd test borderline on I/E....
Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 06:21 pm (UTC)
Hmmm, maybe I should retest, I haven't done it in a while....
Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 06:39 pm (UTC)
The Martyr. Carrying the star wars metaphor...Does that make me Obi Wan Kenobi?

*laughs* An amusing variation indeed. I need to get back to work on my own WIPs--and planning.
Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 07:07 pm (UTC)
Thank you. ^_^;; Just slightly mad, i must be. Preparing to start up college again while working full time. Now NaNoWriMo. My job isn't exactly 'easy' either. *laughs*

Martyr? Maybe not, but i sure as hell am a glutton for punishment. *facepalms* I just distracted myself from those one shots i have to finish!

*kicks up MS Word, makes trip to the fridge for latest grocery raid loot*

:: helpless laughter ::

Omigod, I have never had so much fun with the Myers-Briggs before. I'm an INFP sometimes leaning toward INTP, and the husband is INTJ sometimes leaning toward INFJ. So when we got to "INTPs make ideal companions to INTJs, as neither of them notices they're in a relationship," we just died.
Wednesday, October 26th, 2005 09:13 am (UTC)
INTJ. I won't build the evil empire, but I'll help maintain it when it's there. Machiavelli would be so proud of me.
