I have done the complete MBTI (or is it MBIT?) test before in University. Even had to pay for the damn thing but results were pretty much the same as I got with this mini version.

What possesses you to trade if this pertains you?! Lol

Well actually this and these types of no right or wrong reports issued will basically just talk about a person generally like astrology is a guide to who you are but not totally there will always be exceptions to what is said like no report can exactly tell you who you are down to the tee because our thoughts change constantly like someone told me(cindy) in another time I would've and could've of been a different type of person and this is true

So don't take these types of reports literally as you as a whole it's only like fleeting states of mind like we posses some,most and all of these qualities at certain points in our lives but not all at one time,but overall it's great info to know about though because it's about yourself just be honest on the test and sometimes they will hit it right on the head where it can be like reading the back of your hand peace and happy trading

Yeha that's true I was just saying to PipLegend before that if I took this test at different stages in my life I would most definitely have fallen under different categories. At some points extremely extroverted etc ect.

Funny thing. Society seems to feel the need to class, label and box everything into a category.. Just like this test.

Is it any wonder why we are all slaves (95% of us).

Goes back to what PL was saying in the other thread about being labeled or making the label yourself kinda thing.

Maybe I'm just being an INFP nob head...
It's like music, there are some people who say genre's should exist, but there's clearly a difference between gangster rap to extreme black metal. I find there's a need for labels.

But one thing that I've noticed is throughout the years that I've known about the myer-briggs test is my outcome hasn't changed. Even my aptitude tests from my school days yielded identical results. PL is right that these tests aren't to be taken to the bone, but a trader knowing who he/she is will always be better than one who doesn't/simply refuses to accept who he/she is.

I have always listened to both genres and ya now what. I disagree with that... I think Heavy metal and gangster rappers have a lot in commen. Same as acoustic surfer music and opera singers...

Black is black.. White is white... It's just about which wolf they're feeding.

Or perhaps representing.

You gotta explain what they have in common. I'm not only talking sonically, but what their subject matter is.

Hey Gnarly pips I posted some examples before. But on further examination the music was quite offensive...

My only point was that it's black and white yea... So heavy metal comes from negative view on society the same way gangster rap does... Just in different ways. but if you could put a color to it it would surely be black yea...

I have no idea what this has to do with trading and I'm getting rather tired already of this wolf thing lol..

I just took another test after 1.5 year.

Now i got:


Extroverted (E) 53.85% Introverted (I) 46.15%
Intuitive (N) 60% Sensing (S) 40%
Feeling (F) 59.46% Tkinhing (T) 40.54%
Perceiving (P) 58.33% Judging (J) 41.67%

Your type is: ENFP
where previous was ESFP.
It seems i have relied more on sensing than intuition back then.
But overall from the newest results - it all seems pretty balanced.

All those characterstics can and should be applied in different life occurances anyway.
(Maybe with the absence of judging. )

Great stuff IF thx for sharing
