Help us with a theory
The other day, a friend and I were talking on Facebook about personality types according to Myers-Briggs and we noticed that, just in our circles of Duluth friends, there’s a huge proportion of one type of Myers-Briggs personality.
We then wondered if this was just coincidence or does Duluth have a larger-than-usual percentage of this relatively rare personality type.
So we’re turning to you all to help.
Please take this test (it’s free) and then post your results and the city in which you live. Thanks!
The test starts underneath the text box at the top of the page.
INTJ, Duluth.
Word.
INFP, Duluth.
Mildly (every characteristic moderately manifested) INFP. Yeah, Duluth. We’re all a buncha introverts here, right?
Intuitive Introverts. I’m guessing.
Another INTJ in Duluth.
ISTJ! ISTJ? Proctor did it….
INTP. Woodland
ENFP Duluth
If the majority of your friends or people you know are a certain type, doesn’t that just mean that’s the type you prefer to be around?
ISTJ – Duluth
ISTJ, but only barely on the last three.
INTJ – Duluth. I’d say “Introverts Unite!” but it would be contrary to our nature.
ENFP, Duluth.
ENFJ – Duluth.
ENFP- Duluth
ISFP, TH.
INTP
INTJ — Duluth
INFJ, Duluth.
EvilResident – if we had a lot of overlap in friends, that’d make sense. However, we don’t have a huge overlap in friends nor people that we both regularly hang out with. So it got us thinking.
Thanks for the comments – keep ’em coming!
ESTJ – Woodland
I was INFJ when i took this test 13 years ago (born & raised Park Pointer). I know some of the features of my personality have evolved over the years and was curious if personality “type” changes. I could not, for the life of me, find the book at the Duluth Public Library. So, thanks for the link. I’ll let you know.
ISTJ, Duluth
INFJ in Duluth. Basically, the older I get, the less I want to hang out with people outside of my workday, and the more I want to read/walk/think about things. I wonder how these ratings play out age-wise and gender-wise?
INFP in Duluth
This time i came out ISFJ, but with “marginal or no preference for Sensing over Intuition.” (Only 1%) I didn’t learn the percent of my preferences all those years ago. It seems personality type does remain pretty consistent. So far. I’ll have to re-test in another decade or so.
INTJ, Duluth
The Duluth chapter of the Misanthropy Club is looking for a volunteer to edit our newsletter – no one has been showing up at any of the meetings.
Wifey:
INTJ, Woodland
ENFJ- duluth
If you’re interested in more information about your type, mypersonality.info has descriptions of each type that go a little more in depth.
For example, INTJ is the Strategist, and also clearly the best.
ISFJ, Hermantown
ESTJ, Duluth
Make that ESTP, Duluth. I’m a pre-emptive “submit” clicker and can’t find an edit button.
So then you are not ESTP you are PESC.
Also an INTJ
I think I’ve read that INTJ’s a only 1% of population, but looks like a much higher % of PDD followers.
INTJ, as is my husband
INTJ, which surprises some folks because I am a career teacher. But it is teaching that has taught me the strategies that help me survive in a world biased to the Extroverts.
I’m an xNTP (in Duluth). I’m an “ambivert,” so I’m super close in both extroversion and introversion and can go either way. As with emmadogs, as I get older, I am getting more introverted, though. According to Jung’s theory, though, your temperament is immutable and should not change over the course of your life. (Your personality will evolve, but your temperament type should be consistent.) However, I’ve always wondered about that: I’ve generally tested as slightly more extroverted (on the tests given at jobs or for educational purposes) until the past few years.
IDTJ, Duluth
S!! ISTJ! D is for duh.
INFJ, but not very I. Duluth.
INFP in Duluth. Grew up in the Twin Cities, have tested INFP since I was a teenager.
ISTJ – Proctor
INFJ, Duluth…I found many of the questios hard to answer — as I felt “in the middle/yes and no” for of a lot of them…
INTJ, former Duluthian, born and raised.
ENTJ for me, & John says he got the same type as the mayor–INTJ.
ENTJ, Duluth.
ESFJ. Duluth. 🙂
ENFJ – Duluth
INTJ as well – left the consultancy to my ENTJ wife for a sales gig, may be time to come back to consulting – Not a fan of small talk.
INTP…
I first took this test as part of a homework assignment in college. Before class, I sat next to a woman and we discussed how stupid the test was, and how it seemed like there was really only one answer for each question. You’d have to be an idiot to answer any other way. Then we revealed our temperaments, and she was the exact opposite of me — she was an ESTJ. For a long time I had a lot of difficulty getting along with SJ temperaments. But now I have several SJ friends. I guess I must have realized that just because you love making plans and I hate making plans, that doesn’t mean either one of us is “wrong.”
ENFP
Duluth
INTJ – Duluth expat
ENTJ Hunters Park, Duluth
I had a similar story to Barrett’s. Before taking the test, my friend and I looked at the 4-sentence summaries of each type, and agreed we were both INFP. When taking the test, I noticed that all of our answers were on exact opposite sides of the scale – clearly one of us had guessed very wrong. She was secretly an ESTJ the whole time!
ISTJ … on another note, one time my husband and I were both required to take this test. We scored in opposite quadrants as far apart as you can get … we’ve been married 30+ years … LOL (which my husband would never type in any communique!)
So, Tamara, will we get a report on what your theory is and whether the PDD crowd’s answers support your suspicions?
