Jungian 16 Type Personality Test

Partaking in the three differnt tests provided was an extreamly eye opeing experince for me, I found it profoundly fasinating and knowledgble. I will be reflecting on my results in this thread and discusing which source i found the most accurate of the three.

The Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test provided me with unexpected results. The test showed me that I am more of an extravert over introvert, I have a “slight preference of sensing over intuition”, I have “no preference of thinking over feeling”, and I have “slight preference of judging over perceiving.” These results surprised me slightly while also telling me things I already expected.

So together, over the next several years, the mother daughter team, using much of Jung’s work as a foundation, tinkered and toyed, until they fit Jung’s theories into a practical questionnaire that could be utilized in such a way as to determine a person’s individual psychological “type”. Over the years that questionnaire has been continually updated, modified, and refined. Today, it is largely considered the most trusted personality assessment available.

In my research on the reliability and validity of the Jung Typology Test, I found that the Jung Typology Test has been validated on a test sample of 1000 individuals, ranging in ages from 18 to 70 (Humanmetrics, 2016). The validity statement did not provide information on the gender or ethnicity of the individual respondents, which could affect the test validity. The majority of the reliability correlation coefficients (including Test-Retest and Split-Half) are over .70, indicating an average to good level. In regards to type frequency, ISFJ (Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, Judging) held the highest estimate at 13.8% and INFJ (Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging) was the lowest at 1.5%—it is considered among the rarest types in the general

The test was based on Carl Jung’s and Isabel Briggs- Myers’ typological approach to personality. The test characterizes ones personality into one of the sixteen types, depending on “preference or general attitude” of the test taker towards “extraverted vs. introverted,” “sensing vs. intuition,” “thinking vs. feeling,” and “judging vs. perceiving.” I decided to take this test because of the close tie it had to our text, considering its based on Jung and Isabel Briggs Myers, and also because I had taken a similar test a while back and wanted to see if I would “score” the same personality, which I

The DISC assessment, similar to the Jung-Typology, I felt was not as accurate and I

I did not hear of a Jung Typology test before now. The one that I chose was Human metrics. The test showed that my personality was INFJ. Which, when I break it down it’s, Introvert (22%), which is a shy person who finds it hard to talk to others. intuitive (38%), which means that I understand things without any proof or evidence, also characterized by intuition, and agreeing with what seems naturally right. Feelings is (12%), having an emotional state or reaction, and thoughts of wanting to help someone who is sick, hungry in trouble, etc.

After taking the Jung Typology Test, and receiving my results, I found that my results didn’t reflect anything overwhelmingly surprising about me. For the most part, I had anticipated these results.

To be honest I do not think I have ever taken a question are that truly said who I really am. As I was taking the Jung Typology personality assessment and the DISC, I thought why I am being asked this. After I got the results and compared both, they each show my strong and weak areas. In the DISC assessment, I learned that my highest score is in decisive. This score was not a shocker I am very demanding, forceful and determined. Going through life like this has gotten me many answers and questions that were never thought of. However, the down side to this is being forceful is hard to control. In interactive, I scored a forty-six; I am not very communal I do like to be by myself. This score just was elevated for me, right now I have to be cultural at this point in my life for the things that are going on.

The Jung Typology Test provided information that was, for the most part, expected.These results do seem to be an accurate depiction of my personality. This said, my belief is that the results could change depending on who I associate with at the time. This is perhaps the reason why the percentages are fairly low on the final report.

Based on the Jungian personality assessment, my Jung type is INTP; which is amazingly spot on. The INTP personality type is one of the rarest, making up only three percent of the population, which is exactly how I’d like it. Just the thought of being “common” makes me cringe. A prime example of this is my preferred name, Curtis. My full name is Jon Curtis Miller and I prefer to go by my middle name. For as long as I can remember, when asked why I go by my middle name instead of my first, my response has always been, “There are too many Jon’s in the world, I’m not another Jon.” I pride myself on being unique.

My personality archetype, according to the Jung Typology test is an ESTP. As an extravert I was ranked in the 84 percentile, sensing 28 percentile, thinking 53 percentile, and perceiving at only 3 percentile. I seem to have no preference of perceiving over judging. Due to the low percentile of perceiving over judging, more than one personality type could apply; I have the tendency to swing between ESTP and ESTJ. Approximately 4.3 percent of the population falls into the category of ESTP.

While intuition is information attained by means of the unconscious (Wilde, 2011). In other words, how an individual anticipates how something might happen (Wilde, 2011). Jung also stated that an individual could make a decision by thinking or feeling (Wilde, 2011). A person who thinks makes decisions based on logical thought (Wilde, 2011). An individual who makes a decision based on feeling will think of how the decision will not only affect them but how it could affect the people surrounding them. They will make decisions based on what they care for and value (Wilde, 2011). Although Jung did not create the Myers-Briggs type test, his theories were the basis of this personality measure. He contributed a great amount to the evolution of personality. Today the Myers-Briggs type test is widely used to measure personality types.

There 16 possible types that MBTI can determine; ISTJ, ISFJ, INFJ, INTJ, ISTP, ISFP, INFP, INTP, ESTP, ESFP, ENFP, ENTP, ESTJ, ESFJ, ENFJ and ENTJ. This scoring system causes some serious criticism about MBTI does not give detailed information on all scales ( Furnham,

From taking the Jung Typology Test, I learned a lot about myself. The first bring that I am a ESFP. Meaning that I am 13% extravert, 3% sensing, 22% feeling, and 34% perceiving. When I think about this, I really have to honestly say that this is true. After looking over The Four Temperaments, I really started to understand my personality and just what type of person that I am.
