For some reason unbeknownst to humankind, my uni brought a team in to administer this and the whole of the Psychology Department walked out in disgust. Is it still a thing? I thought it had been debunked.
INTP-A / INTP-T LOGICIAN... rare apparently..."When Logicians are particularly excited, the conversation can border on incoherence as they try to explain the daisy-chain of logical conclusions that led to the formation of their latest idea. Oftentimes, Logicians will opt to simply move on from a topic before it’s ever understood what they were trying to say, rather than try to lay things out in plain terms".
@Priceless "Thousands of professional psychologists have evaluated the century-old Myers-Briggs, found it to be inaccurate and arbitrary, and devised better systems for evaluating personality. Let's stop using this outdated measure - which has about as much scientific validity as your astrological sign - and move on to something else." I'm Aquarius. "Although Aquarians are highly capable of many things, they are best suited for roles that require unconventional thinking. Aquarians embody many professional strengths, including critical thinking, social consciousness, and assertiveness".
More importantly, we have a trippy music number.

I got
Architect
INTJ-A
Seems close enough. I can easily think of where it doesn't fit, but I'd say they have the tendency right. And skimming a few others (just to see if I could relate to them just as well), the one that I got does seem truer to me than the others.
I do think I'd have gotten a different result 10 and 20 years ago.

What about my me?
I was an INTJ when I took this years ago in college, but now I score INFP. I still voted for INTJ, because that long-ago test seemed much more in-depth, and I remember the profile fitting me much better than this one seems to. The professor said at the time that I had the highest "J" score she'd ever seen, whatever that means.

@Taake For the last 3.5 years I tested INFP on this website. A couple of days ago I took it again and I tested INTP but with score 51% of Thinking vs 49% of Feeling, so that probably doesn't say much.😄 I tested ENFP, INTP, even ISFJ at different times on other websites, too. However, I've been into the "cognitive functions" aspect of MBTI and by inspecting them, I would classify myself into either INFP or ENFP. 😜 I think that 16personalities website prepares and evaluates its test based on the direct comparison between Introversion - Extroversion, Intuition - Sensing etc. but normally the MBTI system bases its types on cognitive function stacks. The cognitive functions require a bit more explanation, if anyone's interested, I can explain. 😄
@TriBel Yeah I read that some schools or workplaces administer this test. 🤔 I never came across one though.
The system itself is not considered science. There are many online testers or even official test centers that prepare tests for people to sort them into one of the personality types based on MBTI's system; but I don't consider any of them as the "real test" because there is no such thing. 🤔 MBTI itself isn't an official part of personality psychology either.
For the last couple of years, I've been into this system and discovered that anything related to it should be taken with a grain of salt, especially the tests, and shouldn't be relied on for real life decisions etc. I still find it somehow useful when trying to understand myself but only as a fun way to do it. Some of my friends and I used the system in order to understand each other by discussing the corresponding differences and dynamics between our types; and it helped somehow, only to some extent that was helpful to us when trying to figure out why our thinking patterns or some opinions differ.
Also, I discovered that it was a fun way to approach fictional characters and their relationship dynamics, especially when combined with Enneagram.
The reason why I shared 16personalities website but not another one here is because its results made sense to people I shared it with before and because the website has cute graphics and seems more put together than the other ones. 😄

Your personality type is: Mediator INFP-a 🧝♀️

Metda, I think Willow is possibly an INFP and she is widely typed as such too. 😂 This is yet another similarity between you and her additional to the ones listed by Anyanka Bunny Slippers's statement in your signature. 😜

I've taken various tests over the years. The N and F seems pretty stable. Results I gave written down are ENFP, INFP, INFJ. I wonder if I had ENTP once, too.

Sorry! 😄 I tend to be a bit scathing about personality tests - maybe I'm just a scathing sort of person (and/or too much of a Post-Structuralist Freudian). 😏
It was quite accurate...but then all it was doing was summarizing my answers...and so was my star sign. My big problem is context... if this hadn't been for fun, I'd have refused to do it (seriously...people usually fill questionnaires in on my behalf...or it involves a long discussion as to why I'm incapable of completing them). For me, there's never enough nuance...and I spend far too long deliberating - "yeah...but...yeah...but" kinda thing. I don't know whether that questioning is an inherent/autistic trait or a learned one. I wouldn't use it on a fictional character...but that's because I never approach a text from the perspective of character or personality...I've worked with form and textual / psycho-social function for far too long. Nevertheless, it was interesting. 😄
You have nice friends...mine just roll their eyes and swear at me. 🤣
