Type Indicator

[BMC John Phillips III]

Ok, as mentioned in a previous thread and to quote the Chief of this Mess:

Now I want to see what this test is all about. Who has a link so I can take it ? If JP3 can go from an ISTP to an INTJ just by retaking the test, something smells fishy, and I don't even know what either acronym stands for.
John did you ever think that becoming an INTJ was one of your goals and you changed your answers to make that possible ? Kinda like taking the same IQ test over and over thinking that it somehow makes you smarter...........


Why are you always bringing up old $#i+? You know my explanation for the IQ test thing, same as chess, it has to do with age, you are like a 100 years older than me. Naturally when I am your age, I will be much wiser, thus making me comparitively smarter than you, consider how close my score was to yours and how I could beat you at chess any time I really put my mind to it! :D

Anyway, here is the link to the test. It's not the same test as they give you at the academy but the outcome is the same. There are 4 categories with 2 preferences which makes a total of 16 possible types. It should be known that there are varying degrees of types as well. Which is why I said I scored no higher than 5 in each category at the academy making me pretty well balance when I am out of my element. When I returned to work and fell into my normal routine, I fell into my normal preferences.

The preferences are as follows:

Introvert or Extrovert
iNtuitive or Sensing
Thinking or Feeling
Judging or Percieving

Master Chief, I can save you some time on taking the test and tell you, you are an ESTJ. Or at least that's what I would peg you for.

Finally, it is important to remember that you can be an introvert and still have the capacity to be extroverted and so on. The test only reveals your preferences. So no I didn't change my answers to meet a goal, I changed them due to my preferences in a learning environment are different than my preferences in a performing environment (work).

and Master Chief, I forgot to mention that I am taller and more handsome than you too! :cool:

Stu...if you do take the test you'll find that you can make the outcome be whatever you would like. I've done this a couple of times and the questions/answers are very easy to determine which type your headed to before you see the results.

The best thing about this test is learning what others are and knowing the best way to talk/interact with those people based on their type. That's what I got out of it.

[BMC John Phillips III]

From the Aid Avail. Thread


In the Chief Petty Officer Academy I learned about MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator); it has to do with personality types. The test tells you what personality type you are but that is not the point of the test. The point of it is to realize that there are other personalities out there besides your own (not yours but everyone's).

BMCS, looks like you got exactly what you were supposed to out of it. The thing with the test is if you go into it and answer the questions as honestly as you can, you will come out with the results of your true preferences. Then afterwards it gives you a break down of your strengths and weaknesses. For some strange reason everytime I took the test I came out with no weaknesses (ha, just kidding).

[PACS Steve Carleton]

Way back in High School they gave us this test, I was an INTP then and when I retook it at the CPO Academy, I was (am) an INTP now.

The key is preference, if you google MBTI,there are various online tests. If I recall it was originally designed to help you figure out what type of careers you would most likely gravitate too.

Mine says, I shouldn't be in the military, it also says that I tend to gravitate toward art, graphic design, writing, etc. I must have found the perfect match in the Coast Guard as a PA

[BMCM Stuart S. Slesh]

Steve, don't listen to the test, we're glad to have you.

JP3, I can make the call to the FAR up there in Key West if you're to shy to. But it's time that you started utilizing the services that the CG has put in place for you, and start getting the help that you so desparately need. Remember the first six sessions are free, and they can help you after that as well. They re-classified Pluto as a dwarf planet yesterday so there are only seven planets left in our solar system where you might be taller or more handsome than me, but rest assured, Earth still isn't one of them.
And it isn't that you need to put your mind to the chess games that determines their outcome, it's your praying that my mind fails that makes the difference. Wisdom is supposed to come with age. By now you should have realized that wisdom and intelligence are two very different things. Seeing as how you refuse to grasp this concept, yield now to my superior wisdom and intelligence and accept the fact that you will never live to be my age, never achieve my mental capacity, and never match my chess skills. All men are created equally, but we develop differently. It's not your fault. You are a product of your environment. Things don't grow as well in the shade, and you grew up in the shadow of my monumental Chess Accomplishements. That is why you will always be shorter than me, both physically and mentally. You need to get help so you can be happy with who you are. John, it's okay to be different. You need to know that.
And I took the test, and I am an ESTJ.

[SKC Eric S. Highland]

ESTJ here.. all three times I've taken it.

for what it is worth...

Master Chief, that's a very entertaining post you made. I had a good laugh, lucky for me I was in the right place when I was reading it, my bathroom.

Anyway, anyone that can read my posts (I don't mean with the actual ability to, I mean more along the lines of they see me name at the top of the thread and continue reading anyway), can tell you that I like to quote myself and I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to do so.

That being said, if I was dead on about the first part of my quote, what makes you think I am wrong about the second part? Since you seem to pretty well versed in planetary science lets see how good you are at geography, what is the name of that river in Egypt? and how long have you been in it?

[BMCM Stuart S. Slesh]

The river in Egypt where Cleopatra used to float around eating peeled grapes......?......... that's easy......... it's called Dephillips, but most people pronounce it Denial. I've never actually been there, though I have spent a vast amount of time with people who have waded waist deep in it, or in your case, about chest level...........
It's okay John, I know that we're not going to ever see eye to eye on this one,.......... mostly because it strains your neck to look up for so long. And I'm 5' 9 1/2".

[BMCS Jim Madsen]

LMAO, had to get that extra 1/2" in, huh Stu?

[BMCM Deane Smith]

John...don't take too much credit for correctly predicting Stu's MBTI. Anyone who knows soemone and reads the traits of each type can pretty much put that person into a category. The people that gave the test to me knew which type I was by the way my office looked...they had only spent 15 minutes with me. Given the amount of time that you and Stu spent together...not that big of a stretch that you solved his type prior to him taking the test.

[BMC John Phillips III]

LMAO, had to get that extra 1/2" in, huh Stu?

You know what the sad part is? I know at the next ATON Conference we will be standing back to back with a so called "neutral" person determining who is taller. I am sure the "neutral" person will be someone Master Chief knows better than I do :D

BMCS Smith, if I guessed your type would I get any credit?

[BMCM Stuart S. Slesh]

Jim, the sad thing is that I subtracted the 1/2". I'm old and gravity is already pushing me into the soil. And John we wouldn't have to stand back to back because it isn't that close......... people could tell as we pass by. But it's good that you're already working on the reason people will say that I'm taller. But this all goes back to your competitive nature. You see, this isn't about me being taller than you, that's a given, This started out as you not being 5'10". And I don't need you to take a test to tell me that you suffer from a Napoleanic Complex, a Narcasistic personality disorder, and a Bobby Fisher wannabe syndrome. It's the inner conflicts that will keep you from ever realizing your actual potential,....tick tock tick tock........ And let's not try on settle this by you going unto e-bay and buying Gene Simmons' old boots before the next AtoN Conferrence.

[BMC John Phillips III]

Well since BMCS Madsen is 6'3" he could be a good judge looking down at the both of us, I just hope he doesn't say anything about your hair thinning and mine not. :D

As far as all those syndromes go, the only one I will contest is the "napoleonic."
First off I rarely where coats or shirts with buttons and I never put my hand in between. Second I don't have any STD's, and Third, I only eat the strawberry icecream. Oh wait, scratch that last one, that's neopolitan ;)

Ironically, they have Napoleon's height listed at 5'6.5" they had to throw that .5 in there:D

[SKC Eric S. Highland]

When did Simon Peter meet Meyers Briggs or take their indicator test?

Did John and Andrew proctor it? Perhaps Thomas didn't believe them and made them retake it.

How exactly do they know Peter's results? ~smirks~

wow.. now i've heard it all..

v/r

[BMCM Stuart S. Slesh]

See, once they start applying it to dead people who never took the test..... it becomes meaningless to me. How can they tell with any amount of accurancy whether or not Simon Peter became involved with the characters from the Soaps he watched on T.V. ?

[MSTC Michael Schmidtke]

Hey JP3, didn't you warn me about replying to your own post? Or was it following your own post...either way...the police are watching...better watch out!!!! :p

[BMCM Deane Smith]

Michael...John can't help himself...really he can't. I sometimes think he posts just to hear himself post (or type...whatever, you get my point).

John...no need to respond.

[BMC John Phillips III]

No need but you knew I would. In fact not even a hurricane could stop me! :D That's just my personality, isn't it?

[SKC Eric S. Highland]

Wow!!! Did I read that correctly JP3 has over 530 posts? My goodness.. have you been in the CG long enough young man to have that many posts? ~smirks~ I'm just playing with you.. but I'll await your reply anyway..

Hey by the way I saw our Altus Tendo award winner.. he is now stationed here in the Tampa Bay area.

v/r

[BMC John Phillips III]

It's all good Eric, if anyone can take a good ribbing it's me! Just ask anyone on the board with over a 100 posts ;) Now, for my rebuttal, considering how many times you chimed in at the academy (Yes I was counting!), 530 still makes me a rookie! In fact I think the only one that had you beat was the female airforce E7, I forget her name.

But hey, even though that's mostly true, it's just in good fun! As for Gary, good guy, hope he as well as the rest of the class (you included of course) are doing well. It was truly a great experience.

[SKC Eric S. Highland]

No I'm talking about Timberlake.. he is here in Clearwater now. As far as the airforce E7 that would be Alex. Yes those were good times. By the way, Coachman made Warrant.

Anyhow, we are totally off topic now.. hehehe

v/r

[BMC John Phillips III]

I thought Timberlake was the "Chief's Chief" and Gary was the Altus Tendo winner, or is it the other way around? Coachman making warrant, that's cool, I have heard of crusty old warrants, but now I actually know one lol! (you can show him that msg, I think that might inspire him to join the site.)
