Your Results
What is Going On?!
Personality psychologists generally reject the idea that
personality
types exists.
This is because there are major problems with
Jungian type tests. These problems make
it possible to give you a random* result that feels as accurate
as your "real" result.
1. Personality isn't a Category
Personality is a lot like height. You can probably think
of some people who are definitely
tall. You can probably also
think of at least a few people who are absolutely
short. However,
most people are just about average—they're not really tall or short.
Personality is the same. People aren't either
extraverted or
introverted.
Rather, most people are somewhere in the middle. Just like you can
think of a few extremely tall or short people, you can probably think
of a few people who are extremely extraverted or extremely introverted.
But most of the people in your life probably fall smack in the middle of the
spectrum.
Instead of trying to make you fit into a category
(),
we can show you your
scores on each of the four traits measured
in the type test.
If you are like most people, your scores probably aren't extreme. You probably
fall somewhere in the middle of most of the traits.
Your "Type" as Traits
Extraversion - 41st percentile - about average
and
Extraversion are just opposite ends of a single spectrum.
You are about average in extraversion—which
equivalently means that you are
in introversion.
Intuiting - 81st percentile - very high
Like introversion and extraversion,
Sensing and
iNtuiting are just opposite ends of a single spectrum.
You are very high in intuiting—which equivalently means that you are
in sensing.
Feeling vs. Thinking - 6th percentile - extremely low
Feeling - 21st percentile - very low
and
Feeling aren't necessarily opposite of each other. However,
Jungian personality type tests tend to pit them as opposites against each other. Within this framework,
you are extremely low in feeling vs. thinking. Splitting
thinking and feeling into separate components, you are very low
in feeling and
in thinking.
Judging - 62nd percentile - high
and
Judging are just opposite ends of a single spectrum.
You are high in judging—which equivalently means that you are
in perceiving.
2. There are Five Traits
Jungian type tests measure four traits: extraversion, intuiting, feeling vs. thinking, and judging.
These traits are usually combined into 16 types.
However, personality psychologists nearly universally agree that you don't need 16 unique categories to understand people's personalities.
In reality, there are actually
five personality traits: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience
(Goldberg, 1996).
In this personality test, we also measured your Big Five personality traits.
Your Big Five Traits
Extraversion - 76th percentile - very high
You are very high in extraversion.
People high in extraversion are sociable, active, and like to take risks.
They also tend to feel many positive emotions.
People low in extraversion (introverts) prefer time alone, are more risk-averse,
and may feel fewer positive emotions.
Agreeableness - 7th percentile - extremely low
You are extremely low in agreeableness.
People high in agreeableness are kind and considerate and strongly
motivated to maintain positive relationships. People low in agreeableness
are more likely to prefer competition over cooperation and to dislike
giving and receiving favors.
Conscientiousness - 56th percentile - about average
You are about average in conscientiousness.
People high in conscientiousness are hardworking, orderly, organized,
and punctual. People low in conscientiousness are more spontaneous
and less structured.
Neuroticism - 96th percentile - extremely high
You are extremely high in neuroticism. People
high in neuroticism tend to feel a lot of negative emotions, like
anger, sadness, or anxiety. People low in neuroticism tend to be more stoic.
Openness - 39th percentile - low
You are low in openness. People high in openness
like to try new foods, visit new cities, have new experiences,
have intellectual discussions, and reflect on their experiences.
People low in openness tend to be more conservative and prefer routine.
They are more comfortable with familiar surroundings.
Comparison of Jungian and Big Five Dimensions
Some of the traits that Jungian type tests measure overlap with
the Big Five Personality Traits
Extraversion
Jungian E vs. I - 41st percentile - about average
Big Five Extraversion - 76th percentile - very high
Jungian
extraversion (vs. introversion) primarily taps how sociable you are.
Big Five
extraversion is a broader concept that includes how active
and energetic you are, how much risk you like to take, and how
many positive emotions you usually feel.
Intuiting
Jungian N vs. S - 81st percentile - very high
Big Five Openness - 39th percentile - low
Jungian
intuiting (vs. sensing) taps how creative and imaginative you are.
Big Five
openness is a broader concept that includes creativity
and imagination, but also taps your desires for variety and
to have new experiences.
Feeling
Jungian F vs. T - 6th percentile - extremely low
Big Five Agreeableness - 7th percentile - extremely low
Big Five Neuroticism - 96th percentile - extremely high
Big Five Openness - 39th percentile - low
Jungian
feeling (vs. thinking) overlaps least well with the Big Five
model. People high in Jungian feeling are tenderhearted, which
overlaps with Big Five
agreeableness.
People high in Jungian feeling are also thin-skinned and
easily hurt, which is included in Big Five
neuroticism.
People high in Jungian feeling are reflective and driven
by emotions, and this sort of emotionality is a part of Big Five
openness.
Judging
Jungian J vs. P - 62nd percentile - high
Big Five Conscientiousness - 56th percentile - about average
Jungian
judging is extremely similar to Big Five
conscientiousness.
*Disclaimer: your "random" description was selected from a type that started
with the letter
.
This is because descriptions of extraversion and introversion (e.g., "outgoing" vs. "quiet")
are very noticeable.
Importantly, however, a description like "outgoing" or
"quiet" can apply to many Jungian categories.
This is because your specific 4-letter category doesn't determine
whether or not you are outgoing. Rather, your level of extraversion—a single
trait—determines how outgoing you are.
