I'm an INTP T3T It seems I'm an outsider in this forum~

tfw your personality type doesn't align with your passion lol

I'm INFP.
I've always been that "shy" kid in class, without any friends. Tbh, I kind of prefer being alone, and value alone time extremely much.
Not much for poetry, but I've written stories for as long as I can remember.

Been a while since I took the test, so I did it again and got INFJ (-T). They say it means I'm driven but right now I'm just sitting here wondering what to do instead of doing something (I have free time? I'm overwhelmed??) so I'm not sure how accurate it is haha. The rest seems to fit very nicely though, and in general I am driven... Like on a macro scale. I know where I'm headed in life, and when I didn't I had a pretty bad crisis.

Looking at the thread so far... Yep, I only see "I"s x'D

Another INFP here. I see a lot of INFP's as artists, that's cool! We are cool in our own way :))

Yeah, like shazz mentioned, there's no reason art and logic should be at odds. Even if you operate with logic, it doesn't mean you don't have feelings and opinions about the world or how it could be. You just operate logic more in writing about characters and are more organized in how you build them and the stories. It can be just as logical and mechanical as putting together a puzzle. This might not apply to you 100% tho, it's just how I feel about it and what applies to me.

I got INFJ. The test is apparently not actually that well trusted or used because my personality psychology class in uni didn't talk about it at all... Just the Jung theory that inspired it. A more widely used and popular personality test is the Big Five but you would likely not find an online version, I imagine.

I got INTP, the Logician. Fits me well. Surprised at the accuracy of this test. :kissing:

I'm also INTJ! Sometimes it changes a bit but it's my most consistent result. I've started to become more comfy in social situations (thanks conventions) so sometimes I'll get an "E" result these days, but I'm still an introvert imo.

To put that rarity into perspective (where like only 4% of the population might have your personality type) remember that if all of them were equal parts of the population, every type would be 6.25%. So while still kinda significant, it's not like you're way less likely to meet anyone of your same type.

For those who don't know, the letters are representative of these metrics:

Extroverted ----- Introverted
Sensing ----- I ntuitive
Thinking ----- Feeling
Judging ----- Perceiving

I discovered the Myers-Briggs test a while ago and took it just for kicks. I was pleasantly surprised on how accurate it was (as accurate as a test can be).

I am a INFP-T (Mediator), and am pretty passionate about art/writing, though, being a perfectionist, I sometimes struggle with daydreaming and actually getting work done. But I always deliver in the end! :upside_down:

-A stands for "Assertive" and -T is "Turbulent". I think they relate to what kind of INFP (or any type) you are (confident for A or really emotional for T).

There's nothing about this type that's opposed to art! From the linked site:

INTPs pride themselves on their inventiveness and creativity, their unique perspective and vigorous intellect.
[...]
when they find an environment where their creative genius and potential can be expressed, there is no limit to the time and energy INTPs will expend in developing an insightful and unbiased solution.
[...]
They may appear to drift about in an unending daydream, but INTPs’ thought process is unceasing, and their minds buzz with ideas from the moment they wake up.

Just because a description compares them to scientists or whatever doesn't mean that your type "doesn't match." All of those qualities can be applied to creating art or inventing stories, too!

And think about how many creators come at comics from completely different perspectives! Some plan meticulously, some get bored if their plans are too rigid. Some want to get every technical aspect right, some don't care if the technique is abstracted as long as it tells the story. Some are self-indulgent with tropes they love, some desperately want to be unique. Some are in it to tell a story that touches others, some just want to tell their story regardless of who reads it, and some are just making comics because it's fun. It'd be weird if we all fell into the same personality type just because we're all artists.

And heck, ask a bunch of creators at, say, a comic convention, and you might get a very different set of data!

Also INTJ and female :stuck_out_tongue:
Kinda interesting to see that there are quite a few in this thread ^^

INTJ... But my brother called me a FPP (fantasy prone personality) cuz of my belief in Jesus... /Sigh

TOO MANY INTROVERTS! I am ESFP! Holla! The performer... comes as no surprise. I have known this for a while and every test I take I get ESFP. It also lines up with being a Gryffindor and pretty much being part of every club in high school :joy: :joy:

As for my personality alignment I am Chaotic Neutral. That combined with an ESFP personality makes me the ultimate troll, which I don't mind, it gives me a great sense of humor :grin: Also, I talk about myself a lot, apparently ESFPs do that often :information_desk_person:

Honestly I have never found many ESFP people, maybe the world spreads us out because if we all get together we can burn the place down? IDK, but I always find it interesting. Oh, I'm male if you are doing any data on this thread

Took the test and I am INFP -A , confident individual they said LMAO (More like I'm just an introvert who doesn't give a shet) The description is actually quite spot on for me! Love all (?), trust few and do wrong none haha.

I had to take this test something like 4 times over the entire time I was at university and I always got INTP. :-=

I am an INTP -A, -T, Logician. I didn't think it fit at first, but after reading it actually made sense.

When I was younger, I'd turn up INTJ, but I am consistently INTP now. :slight_smile:
