I got EII, although my score for ESI appeared to be pretty much equal to it. I got a negative "score" for all the extroverted information elements and a positive "score" for all of the introverted ones. I can't say it convinced me that I'm an EII, I still think I'm going to identify as an ESI or ILI for the time being. Still, I enjoyed taking the test.

I did 330 item version of this test before and got LII.

The test confuses logic as a macroaspect with Ti, personal priorities with strength of IEs and doesn't account for the quality of information processing.

Dichotomies as separate markers have to die out for any test to make sense from the perspective of information elements, imo.

P.S. I'm Te valuer, I think.

I scored highest as ILI by far(2.0) followed by LII(1.1) and EII(1.0). Lowest were ESE(-2.0) and SEI(-1.3)

In the comparison with the average dichotomies I had a slightly stronger preference for rationality, but also intuition, over the standard.

In the comparison with average IE strength the only thing that stuck out was my Fi being higher, while Si was much lower, than the average ILI.


Considering I selftype as ILI-Ni, the results seem consistent with that, but it doesn't mean much to me considering that I have to raise the same objections with the test itself as To_august:

And what was with the question about having several children? I'd like to know what IE is related to that.

lol, I got LIE. Pretty sure I got it before also. I think a big problem is that sometimes it'd ask a question phrased in such a way as to suggest whether you strongly value or it or not, but then it would ask other questions phrased in such a way whether you're good at it or not. This leads to really skewered results, I think.

ILI, as per usual.

I scored very evenly on the dichotomies, except for an extreme preference towards logical. I would have thought that was a dead giveaway that I am not an irrational type, but alas.

I got EIE, followed closely by SEE. However, I didn't score that high in ethics individually, and Se and Ni were the only other functions not in the negative. I have an extreme preference towards central over peripheral, whatever that means.

INFj or EII - MBTI 1st Choice

I had trouble with some of the syntax; the person who put the questions together did not seem to be a native English speaker. A few questions were difficult to answer because there was conflation, e.g. one about being romantic, sentimental, sensitive and thin-skinned? I am not the first two; I am the second two, so how to answer that kind of question and avoid having too many 3s was a challenge.

I'm satisfied, however, with the results. I also respected the work that went into this--not a 25 question HelloQuizzy type of test.


My results which are certainly in the ballpark, although on another Socionics test I scored INTp, this time, much more detailed, I got:


Most likely was INFj or EII at nearly 1.5

Second most likely was INFp or IEI at 1.25

Third most likely was ISFp or SEI at 1.20

Fourth most likely was ISFj or ESI at 1.00

Fifth (and only extraverted) was ENFj at .055

***

Least likely was SLE or ESTp at - 1.75 (tied with 2nd least likely)

Second least likely was ISTp or SLI at - 1.75 (tied with 1st least likely)

Third least likely was ENTp or ILE at - 1.25

Fourth least likely and close to 3rd least likely was ENTj or LIE at - 1.20

Fifth least likely was ISTj or LSI at - 0.75

===================================================================


The last type I had listed on this forum was MBTI - INFJ

I tested via Humanmetrics for 7 years as INTJ, and INFJs are often mistyped as INTJs, so I am going to take out Unknown and replace it with INFJ.

Bringing this forward so I can look at the INFj and the INFp because that is how I experience myself: It's a toss up because the personality theorists don't agree on where mystical experiences and some other experiences--also habits, fall: INFJ or INFP (MBTI) or Socionics... and Socionics has more theorists to make it trickier.

Today, however, I will go with INFP, remembering that analytical is something others: professors, classmates, SOs and family members, among others, have called me since I was young. I don't think of analytical as being an INFP trait, but it doesn't matter.

I do wonder if INFP has a poetry thread going, because I've been posting my own in the INFJ area.

Lol this test thinks I am an LSI.

I think I know why it spit that result out though. It must have started out with knowing I tested high in Thinking and was Introverted, then weighed weakness in Ne and Fe higher than the fact that I scored higher in Ni than in Se and higher in Te than Ti.

In reality, I think I'm just strongly the Te subtype of ILI and equally versed in Te and Ti. In real life I'm not all that weak in understanding Ne, I just think it's perspectives are silly and pointless. And, my Ni definitely covers a smaller portion of my everyday concerns than it does for more Ni-ish subtypes. I am very much, however, an I__p and not an E__j or an I__j.

This test should really try to also measure Temperament by Temperament questions, instead of breaking it into E/I and P/J. I think that would have been a lot more accurate than Reinins.

@Figure

Still, your actual type, ILI, is very close to what they picked up, which is more accurate than what a lot of us get on other tests.

I'd like it--along with your suggestion--if someone with stronger English skills redid some of the questions because misplaced modifiers and some other errors made it hard--for a few questions, to get what they were looking for; I must have done OK, though--figuring it out--as INFJ followed by INFP is accurate enough for me.

The other types are not close enough "really" to how I think, make decisions, what my interests are, jobs I enjoyed, over all history, et cetera--and at 56 I got a lot to use for comparing test and life results.

I got EII.

Judicious>decisive is hardly surprising, lol. Low Se too. It's the one I relate the least.

@Based Stickman

I think a lot of the description for ESTp fits, and because you are on the line between I/E, read the ISTp and factor that in. It makes sense. And then the personal history--your own as anyone else's is unique, so whatever traumas and such will skew the results a bit--reflecting you, not static test results. Glad you took this; glad I read it.

Highest scores: EIE > SEE > LIE > SLE
For information elements: Se > Fe > Te/Ne

Lowest scores (from lowest to least low): SLI > SEI > LII
IE: Si > Ti > Fi (really now...)

I agree with To_august's and Entropic's criticisms of the test. I think in order to increase its internal validity, it's best to separate the items into two categories: by strength and valuing of the IEs, and then score those separately.

Did you include your self-typing in the information about yourself? I stated I'm an LIE with 95% confidence and I'm wondering if that influenced my final result or not. Probably not but something to consider. My main problem with the test was the odd wording and questions that were somewhat difficult to relate to and answer without some degree of guessing. I ended up taking the test twice and while my result was LIE both times I think the breakdown perhaps is worth skipping. There may have some or even a lot of context that was lost in translation for many of the questions.

For your results it seems you answered positively to the Fe questions. Which makes me want to ask if you answered the questions as how you are or how did you answer based on qualities you admired?

@DavidH

I had to avoid my urge to choose 3 because the instructions, as I recall, indicated that too many 3s could result in a misread. So, I would reread those questions, remind myself of what 2 or 4 meant, then choose accordingly.

I don't know if retaking the test and trying that would give you a more accurate reading.

I agree that the wording of many questions was odd, and as I wrote in another post, the syntax and some other errors made it difficult for me to know what the tester was asking.

I got INFj, however, which was closer to my type than many other tests I've taken, especially many MBTI ones, so I think it could be a good tool if a native English speaker rewrote the test questions, and someone skilled did the proof-reading.

I could see how too many 3 answers would potentially give a misread. Falsely answering questions would definitely give a misread.

I understood the criticisms others made regarding the language, inclusions, and syntax.

The majority of the questions, though, didn't pertain to my life. To answer 1, 2, 4, or 5, when none is correct, would have created a profile of a non-existent person. Perhaps, it is due to generation gaps or culture gaps. After half the test, I had the firm impression of taking a personality test found in a Cosmopolitan magazine. The questions didn't pertain to myself, nor most other men I know. That is the impression the test gave me.

The ones I marked 1 or 2 on were questions that seemed disturbing.
