21 Gain a profound realization from a mystical state or sudden release of emotions Ni? Fi? I think Ni is what they are trying to get at with this one.

23 Engage life's magical moments and meaningful coincidences as they happen. Se Sounds like Ne to me. I don't think words like 'magical' and 'meaningful' are normally associated with Se. If anything it's Si more likely than Se, because it sounds so subjective in nature. Whatever it is, I do this one a lot.

27 Review a lot of information over time to confirm what is customary or standard.Si Words like 'customary' and 'standard' make me think extraverted judgement; and the word 'confirm' indicates there is a judgement taking place. I think this should be Te.

38 Spur action and pull off results simply by making your presence felt. Te Te combined with Se perhaps? It sounds so grounded in the physical realm making me think Se. Whatever function(s) it is, I do this every day at work.

I agree with you on the rest of them.

Edit: My comments are in red btw, in case your sensing function is so weak you wouldn't even notice such a thing on your own.

^ If you just look at the first function for each item in this list, I believe all of these are correct.

I don't know why some items are labeled, e.g., Fe, while others are labeled, e.g., FeSi. I've always assumed each item was intended to test for just one function.

 

I just tried taking the test two times, only changing the answers for 17 and 19, and the list seems at least for those two seems to be correct; results for both the S- and F-functions seemed to change, while neither the N or T results changed.

 

^ That's interesting. I guess the scoring's more complicated than I thought.

For some of the two-function items, I can see how the second function makes sense — e.g., the mystical flavor of #21 appealing more to an INFJ than an INTJ. But I wouldn't think #19 would appeal to an ISFP much more than an INFP, or #46 would appeal more to an ISFJ than an ISTJ.

 

Most tests come with the disclaimer that if you don't understand the question then it clearly isn't you.
The whole point is to present the questions in ways that you will get it or not.
This is so you can accurately type yourself.
If you answer each question with preordained knowledge it is almost certain your bias will influence your responses until you test as the type you wish to be rather than the type you are.
If you actually care about being correctly typed then a thread such as this one is a great disservice to accurate typing.

 

This. It defeats the whole purpose to find out what function(s) go with each question so that you can give the "right" answers so that you come out as the type you want to be rather than the type you are.

 

@Arclight But then to me, many of the questions are just vague. e.g. "47 Trust what emerges from brainstorming."
Why would anyone not trust their own thoughts? If I brainstorm solutions or options, I'm probably gonna use something from it.

And then there's "8. Feel strongly that something is good or bad." - I define good and bad by whether something is entertaining. If you explain that this concerns morals/personal right or wrong value stuff(?) (what Fi is usually associated with), I'll stop agreeing with the statement so much.

Would this not be useful to people who score as something that's not what they originally thought, and allow them to seek out the relevant questions and think about why they answered them the way they did?

I still don't know how I scored so high on Fi. I don't think I'd like to be a feeler - I'm not a harmonious person.:wink:

Yeah, Se and Fi were tied as my highest scores (apparently I have "excellent use" of each) but this contradicts the info in my current status somewhat.

 

14 Apply leverage to a situation to solve a problem impersonally using minimal effort. Te

I could see this one as being related to both Ti and Te.

21 Gain a profound realization from a mystical state or sudden release of emotions Ni? Fi?

Gotta be Ni....

23 Engage life's magical moments and meaningful coincidences as they happen. Se

This one is kind of misleading. I thought it was Se at first too, but with that "meaningful coincidence" part it's really closest to Ne+Si. I believe it counts as just Ne though.

38 Spur action and pull off results simply by making your presence felt. Te

Seems more like Se to me but it could be Te.

 

@Eric B Great analysis. I'm in awe.

 

There was a website with the earlier version of the quiz, in which it grouped the questions with the functions.

After a desperate attempt to find it, I realize it may have been taken down. If anyone has the link, let me know.

 

Se 29. Instantly read visible cues to see just how far you can go.

Is Fe, not Se. Every INTP seems to think this is Se though, but if it was, then no way in hell an INFJ would think they would be good at doing this since Se is their inferior function. I also think the test is a little bit more varied than this.

1. Freely follow your gut instincts and exciting physical impulses as they come up.

Se. It COULD also relate to NeSi with Ne dominance though.

2. Offer various unrelated ideas and see what potential they might suggest.

Ne.

3. Determine success by measurement or other objective method such as the time taken.

Te.

4. Feel inclined to be responsible for, and take care of, others' feelings.

Fe.

5. Experience a premonition or foresee the distant future.

Ni.

6. Notice whether the details in front of you match what you are accustomed to.

Can be either Si or SeNi.

7. Be guided by a definition, logical deduction, or other nugget of reasoning.

Ti.

8. Feel strongly that something is good or bad.

Fi.

9. Compassionately take on someone else's needs as your own.

Fe but could also be say, SiFi depending on the reasoning behind it.

10. Construct an argument to convince someone using evidence clearly in front of you both.

Could be either Te or (Se)Ti. The reason why is because it again depends on what is meant by evidence. I think it probably measures both T functions.

11. Achieve a metamorphosis, definitive insight, or powerful vision of change.

Ni.

12. Compare an experience against a storehouse of familiar experiences to find what's reliable.

Si.

13. Remain in touch with what you want for yourself, what motivates you, and what is good.

Fi.

14. Apply leverage to a situation to solve a problem impersonally using minimal effort.

Ti.

15. Enjoy the thrill of action and physical experience in the present moment.

Se(Ti).

16. Enjoy playing with random interconnections and patterns.

NeSi. Notice the inclusion of the word pattern. I do this a lot.

17. Recognize and usually adhere to shared values, feelings, and social norms to getalong.

FeSi. Notice the inclusion of the word social norms also. Would point towards the support of Si to Fe.

18. Conceive of a comprehensive plan to maximize progress toward multiple goals at once.

NiTe but it could as well be NeTi. Remember that Ti likes the inclusion of several frameworks. I think this question does measure NeTi rather than NiTe though but it could as well measure both. NiTe is more focused on ONE goal, however. Ne is what creates the scattered image. Everything at the same time.

19. Freely enjoy doing what you want for your own personal happiness.

Fi. Perhaps with Se.

Focus on enjoyment on what appears to be in the here and now. Compare to the question about enjoying the spur of thrill and action in the moment. That's the difference between T and F divide on the Se questions I think.

20. Concisely reference multiple frameworks at once while problem solving.

TiNe.

21. Gain a profound realization from a mystical state or sudden release of emotions.

I'd say NiFe but could be Fi as well.

22. Follow steps to ensure tasks are predictable and completed correctly.

Te, and more likely SiTe.

23. Engage life's magical moments and meaningful coincidences as they happen.

NeSi. I do this a lot and I strive to do this a lot.

24. Quickly move to take advantage of immediate options for action.

SeTi probably.

25. Always remain true to what you want for yourself or others.

Fi with a little Si.

26. Analyze and critique what doesn't fit with a well-defined principle.

Ti.

27. Review a lot of information over time to confirm what is customary or standard.

SiTe.

28. Feel attracted to the symbolic, archetypal, or mysterious.

Ni.

29. Instantly read visible cues to see just how far you can go.

Fe!!!!!! I reiterate, Fe!!!!!

30. Keep following tangents and new ideas without limiting yourself to one.

Ne.

31. Follow a straight line of reasoning.

Ti.

32. Help make people feel comfortable by engaging in hosting and care-taking.

Fe.

33. Lay out methods for others to complete tasks in time- and resource-efficient ways.

Te.

34. Readily communicate personally to all members of a group to feel unity.

Fe.

35. Fine-tune a definition or concept to support a theory, perspective or framework.

Ti.

36. Evaluate what is worth believing in and most important to who you really are inside.

Fi.

37. Weave into the current dynamics of a situation aspects of other, random contexts.

Ne.

38. Spur action and pull off results simply by making your presence felt.

39. Transform yourself by focusing inward on a specific way you foresee you will need to be.

Ni.

40. Fulfill the same regular work or activity everyday at a comfortable pace.

Si.

41. Merge and feel intimate oneness with other people.

Fe.

42. Stick to making decisions based on impersonal measures such as points earned.

Te.

43. Continually examine if choices harmonize with important beliefs.

Fi.

44. Take apart something to figure out the principles on which it works.

Ti.

45. Push your mental limits to complete an array of innovative achievements.

Ni.

46. Point out discrepancies between how things are and the way they have always been.

TiSi.

47. Trust what emerges from brainstorming.

Ne.

48. Easily get in sync physically with people and things around you.

SeFi.

 

Weave into the current dynamics of a situation aspects of other, random contexts.

What exactly does this question mean? Every time I've done this quiz I've just put the middle option because I have no idea what it's asking me.

Actually, nevermind, I just figured it out... having the words situation and aspects right next to each other confused the hell out of me.
