Infj. What they write on MBTI sites are not very accurate. I did my own research on Youtube and it actually helped me a lot to understand myself.
Meyers/Briggs is based on tests originally developed by Carl Jung, though it seems it's become something of a cult on the internet. I've never taken the M/B profile myself, maybe I ought to. But I've read a lot of Jung. I don't personally think that any particular personality profile will include all or most writers, they'll come from all across the board, but their type will definitely influence their writing. My interest in psychology is more because I believe psychology is character, and learning about certain aspects of it helps you understand why people act the way they do, and helps you create characters and place them into a believable character web for a story. Just learning in depth about introversion and extroversion helps immensely in writing believable characters, especially when you start to grasp the association-chains of other beliefs and attitudes that go hand in hand with each (always keeping in mind that these are tendencies, and far from set in stone—it actually gets way more interesting after you've absorbed a good deal of knowledge about the psychology and then can observe it in action in people you know).
I'm an ENTP. I might be an INTP. But I've consistently identified more with ENTP. But I can also identify a bit with INFP and ISTJ. There's definitely truth to MBTI but I see it as a starting point to gaining understanding in how people think. Not an endpoint.
I am extremely unique, no one is like me, and this test could not group me with others like me, because there are none like me. I would find a number of things I have different from any that would communicate with me. Being one among writers is not going to have me more likely to find others like me, that is one small thing to have in common with others who already are not a large sample out of all people. Though others are all different I still generally try to get along with them when we meet.
I am personally convinced that I am a unique and special snowflake, just like all the millions of other unique and special snowflakes in the blizzard. Its only a shame that no matter how unique and special the snowflake it still drifts on by in the same way as all the others, still lands in the same way, and still melts in the same way.
I cloak my unique crystalline formation in the uniform white of the blizzard to avoid attracting unwanted attention from abominable snow monsters.
Well, I'm an INTP that was accurately typed by a friend who did a LOT of in-depth questions and stuff. MBTI is more about the functions than the letters. Because the functions are very defined.
I mean it. I can't fit in with others with whom I agree on something they all do, with being honest about something further of interest about me, without great discussion, if not argument, from others about it. No one else I meet has all, or even more than a couple of these things about me in common. I don't think I want to mention them all openly on a forum site. Writing that I really do is something in common with many here and it is a place I can talk about that, it is also the very least controversial. I was not willing to make the investment in that testing but it is not needed for me to know my uniqueness.
You missed the small jest, which was based on the two primary meanings of the word unique: 1) being the only one; 2) being without a like or equal.
Alright, I will just come out here. Who else is a committed nudist among all here writing, who is really Christian, and walks anywhere only barefoot, and is vegan for many years? That was just getting started, there would be much more to list.
You're certainly winning. Me, I'm so normal its physically painful. I'm so normal when I went to take the Myers-Briggs test I walked out with all sixteen Type acronyms and people kept confusing me for a Pride march. And I know for a fact that 50% of members on this forum are even more normal than me. Sobering thought.
Believe it or not, there is a guy who used to post here a lot who is a nudist. His username is Some Guy. I haven't seen him post much recently, but I think he popped in briefly a few months ago.
