It's my experience, after some 10 years or so of interest in Myers-Briggs, Jung, Kiersey, Temperaments, etc that I have a definite ranked order of preference for temperaments. Years ago I couldn't decide whether I was INTP or INFP. Since being introduced to the work of David Kiersey on Temperament, (and Stephen Montgomery - 'The Pygmalion Project' series), I recognise that, as far back as I can remember into childhood, I have been NF Temperament. My '2nd preference Temperament' is NT, 3rd SP and 4th SJ. Perhaps this realisation, or the 'settling down' into a Temperament order itself, comes around mid-life? My enneatype is E5/4.
Can this board be linked to the enneagram boards of Jan den Breejen?
I don't think many people know of its existence.
cheers :-)
: It seems a lot of people have some confusion over the MBTI and how your test results can vary. I have experienced this also. Three years ago I tested INFJ. I have retaken the test using different formats several times over the past couple years and stay steady at INTJ. It has varied somewhat, however its solidly INTJ. I think variation may be due to a persons particular mental/emotional state while taking the test. Look at the four temperments. They are - SJ SP NT NF. While we all have traits of each temparment, one will dominate. Two good sites are Kerisey.com and Personality Type Indicator under Yahoo-science-psycology-online tests. This contains a personality type compatibility chart. It basically states one MB type will have great relations with only 4 MB's, good yet fragile with another 4, average with 4 and poor with 4. I would like to know what people think of this based on their experience, since there is no research data provided. Another interesting site is by David Keirsey where there is a portrait of leadership dominated by SJ's in the former USSR. I am interested to know what people, particularly SJ's think of that.
