I wasn't sure where to put this but I have taken around... I'd say 15 tests including yours? It's basically the MBTI. Anyway, 12/15 put me as INFJ and if you look at the percentages and maths given by at least two of the disagreeing results, you find it's pretty close to shoving me in that direction.

ISTJ is nothing like me aside for the I and J. I think that perhaps on certain days I might swing around on certain areas. However, the most trusted tests online never fail to place me as "a counselor". It was actually very recently that I did an investigation of the tests I could find.

The way in which the questions and answers are presented is somewhat shaky, I feel. Can't quite put my finger on it. I think maybe "somewhat" allows for too much hesitation and doubt, or perhaps your test has a different scoring system than others?

If you want, I can go find my FB post and point to which tests seem to be the most accurate or at least considered to be. Certainly on a self assessment test the only trouble I have is between N and S, leaning towards N.

Figured I'd point this out as it was the... sub par websites giving out this result for me and the rest of the quizzes here seem to mostly be quite good.

Hope I haven't sounded too awkward with this.

Does the test here mimic that actual Jungens test?

As far as I am aware there is no Jungian test. Myers and Briggs created the 16 personality test based on what Jung proposed in a book. So calling it Jungian is a little awkward. If it is not the MBTI (which it appears to be) then it would be fair to call it simply Jungian if it had been based around that but not in a similar manner.

Although of course Wiki is awkward at times, here is what it says about the current MBTI:

Quote:
The current North American English version of the MBTI Step I includes 93 forced-choice questions (there are 88 in the European English version). Forced-choice means that the individual has to choose only one of two possible answers to each question. The choices are a mixture of word pairs and short statements. Choices are not literal opposites but chosen to reflect opposite preferences on the same dichotomy. Participants may skip questions if they feel they are unable to choose.
The quiz here allows for "Somewhat". If that is used as a way to skip the question, it could confuse people who take it literally (such as myself). I could take it again and refuse to chose that and see what I get. Could be illuminating.

One teensy mention is though companies and the like still use the test, it is heavily criticised and should only be used as fun because of all the flaws which have been found and are accepted in modern day psychology. I get why it's here as a listed test - it's still popular.

In a way it does give you a little bit of insight even if some professionals go as far as to describe it as a horoscope.

INFJ fits me perfectly whereas ISTJ is a very, very superficial view of me. I think the most trusted one online by a lot of people is 16personalities.com but I might be remembering wrong.

Anyway, I'll do the test again with no "Somewhats" and I'll let you know how it changes.

I'm either an ISTP or an INTP. I'm still trying to figure out if I use Se-Ni or Ne-Si. Pretty sure Ti is my dominant function while Fe is my weakest.

EDIT: I just took the test and it put me as ISTP. I'm not sure if this test just goes by the letters or actual functions though.

I'm certainly an INTJ. Every Myers-Briggs test that I've taken suggests this and I'm certain beyond a reasonable doubt that they're right.
