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.Highest scores: EIE > SEE > LIE > SLE
For information elements: Se > Fe > Te/Ne
Lowest scores (from lowest to least low): SLI > SEI > LII
IM: 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 IMs, and then score those separately.

Ahhh I did not, that probably would influence the results to some degree. I agree that the wording was awkward due to translation and the double-barreled questions.Did you include your self-typing in the information about yourself?

Hm, maybe a person's self-typing would influence the result. Definitely awkwardly worded and haha yes, double-barreled questions would be the perfect way to describe the problem I had with more than a few of them.Ahhh I did not, that probably would influence the results to some degree.

Ah, sorry about the editing confusion. The reason why I asked is because of your breakdown by functions, but thinking back on the quiz, the Fi specific questions for ESI seem especially stupid now that I think about it. How many ESIs are going to relate to being so angry that they want to kick something at least once a week. :rolldeyes: I'm either not understanding ESIs or it seems Socionics still has an incredibly anti-Gamma Fi bias within the community.EDIT: @Scoobyscoob I just saw your edit now.
As for the Fe questions, I did answer as how I am (as far as I know, my self-awareness is not always the greatest). For what it's worth, I've been vacillating between ESI-Se and SEE-Fi.
I could see how too many 3 answers would potentially give a misread. Falsely answering questions would definitely give a misread.@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.
You're welcome. We agree, so I'll expand.@DavidH
I have working memory problems, i.e. I can't remember the exact ones that did not resonate though I can say that with my background and considering my age, I agree with you in terms of comparing the test to Cosmo.
I joke with my husband that many of the personality tests, especially on celeb dot com and helloquizzy remind me of Glamour magazine tests with names like Boost Your Sex Life Rating.
You know, based on your giving me a wake up call, if I have the energy, I may go back and retake the test choosing the 3s (there were many) that I did not choose because of the instructions.
If I do, I will share those results.
Thanks for responding.

Nice to meet you, as well.@DavidH
I clicked on the original link (page 1); also found it on the Internet, and I got an error; couldn't retake it. But I, like you, see the tremendous flaws in many areas; that will have to suffice.
Also, nice to meet you.![]()
