What is your MBTI personality type and Main Class?

[Fehu-fizzcrank]

I’m a Sagittarius so I play a dwarf hunter. MBTI is junk science. The two women who came up with it based it on some musings of Jung and really were out of their depth. Over 7 billion people in the world and there are only 16 personality types. Do the math. And anyone in a legitimate business using it for hiring or promotions is opening their business up to some very expensive legal bills.

[Thèón-emerald-dream (Thèón)]

I’m the INTP and I mained a hunter before changing to Monk and then changing again to Paladin.

[Quadriceps-rexxar]

What? Huh?

Explain how and I might buy it

[Sinrostro-frostmourne]

Wow, a quote from graduate students at Indiana University too. I’m impressed.

Oh ok, so would you prefer one from a PhD? Here you go from Adam Grant PhD at Psychology Today:

"As my inconsistent scores foreshadowed, the MBTI does poorly on reliability. Research shows “that as many as three-quarters of test takers achieve a different personality type when tested again,” writes Annie Murphy Paul in, “and the sixteen distinctive types described by the Myers-Briggs have no scientific basis whatsoever.” In a recent article, Roman Krznaric adds that “if you retake the test after only a five-week gap, there’s around a [50% chance] that you will fall into a different personality category.”

Or would you prefer this version from Skeptical Science?

Face it, you attempting to put 7+ billion humans into 16 slightly different catagories made up by a two sales people (Myer-Briggs) who were neither psychiatrists nor psychologists, is pure unadulterated nonsense.

[Sinrostro-frostmourne]

I believe it has already been stated multiple times but the site does not pose as fact and the intent of the thread was not to label it as fact but as fun.

Sure this site says it’s not serious. Tell me then what about more than 10,000 companies, 2,500 colleges and universities and 200 government agencies in the United States which use this nonsense test?

This kind of crap is basically a gateway to the other kind of more insidious ignorance about science in society.

Riiiiight, because a general discussion thread on a gaming forum is “Serious Science” how dare anyone engage in trivialities like personality tests and preferred fantasy role playing class.

The foundation of rigor and rhetoric is under attack! zOMFG!

What’s an extrovert playing WoW? I figured extroverts are all out at the beach, club or doing outdoorsy stuff.

[Cyniel-dentarg (Cyniel)]

Below the result it explains the result. (I got the same result you did)

Introduction | Defender (ISFJ) Personality | 16Personalities

[Ataxerxes-dalaran (Ataxerxes)]

I’m a rocker, I’m a roller, I’m a right-out-of-controller, and I play a Prot Paladin.

[Cyniel-dentarg (Cyniel)]

ISFJ-a and I main a rogue… But I enjoy my disc priest (other main)…

[Floutsy-hyjal (Floutsy)]

We get to exist where the rules of life are different from the daily grind, and we can choose to be social (or not) as it suits us. A few guildies have gotten to be pretty good friends over the years, and they really opened up in 1 on 1 chat little by little. I think that might be one of the correlations here

Friends and close co workers constantly tell me that I am not an introvert because I talk a lot to them and I am like I AM AN INTROVERT I JUST KNOW YOU REALLY WELL OMG

[Cyniel-dentarg (Cyniel)]

I can attest to that… I have an employee that it took me more than 6 months to get him to say more than yes/no or hi. Now I can’t get him to shut up (i’m kidding about the laughing part… but I still find it funny)

[Quadriceps-rexxar]

So you don’t believe I’m introverted people and extroverted people. Or people more inclined to make decisions using their feelings rather than their thoughts. Good to know

Was this supposed to make any sense?

I know you’re trying to put some words in my mouth that I haven’t said, I just can’t figure out what you’re talking about.

[Kalari-silvermoon]

I took the quiz, but most of the questions were not easy to answer with just agree or disagree, so I don’t give a lot of credence to the answer.

As far as introvert or extrovert, people can actually be both. I am very outgoing and feel comfortable talking to anyone. But when I am finished socializing, I want to be alone to relax. I really enjoy my alone time.

And I play 2 Warlocks, 2 Rogues, 2 Hunters, 2 Mages, a Death Knight, a Druid, a Demon Hunter, a Warrior, a Shaman, a Paladin and a Monk. I don’t consider any one of them more “main” than the others.

Retribution Paladin.

For those who think this is “horrible pseudo science” maybe you should try going somewhere where your fanaticism is better served instead of a fantasy video game forum where people are here to have fun and not be serious.

[Nowise-dalaran (Nowise)]

INTJ. Tank because if you want something done right, do it yourself.

[anon44004560]

INFP-T

And I’m an altoholic. Mostly stick with my Shaman though. First toon I ever made.

[Quadriceps-rexxar]

No, you said you don’t believe in splitting up 7 billion people into 16 groups, but you have no problem splitting them into 2? (Introverts and extroverts)

Then there are other subdivisions and combinations.

It’s not voodoo, you’re dividing people based off of similar traits.
