Ok I realize this may cause some drama, and I realize we had personality tests, and I realize that we've had plenty of people probing us for their studies/homework/boredom/whatever. With that out of the way.
I'm really curious about what types are represented here on gc. I'm on intpcentral and am furiously immersed in psychology.
The results are pretty accurate most of the time, and help people to better understand themselves sometimes. It helped me a lot, and also helped me get to know others as well. So I suppose this is my way of getting to know you guys. And you getting to know yourself lol.
-_- Please don't make this into some drama. If you don't like it/don't wanna do it, just ignore the thread. But any input would be welcome...
Oh also, you have to Google your result (the four capital letter word you get when you submit answers), or just visit Wikipedia, if you want to see if your results correspond to what you feel you are as a person.
I'm INTP
ISFP
Introverted (78%)
Sensing (38%)
Feeling (25%)
Perceiving(44%)
I don't know how this could help me in any particular way, other than taunting me with the fact I'm fairly introverted IRL... Still, interesting.
Also, when I did this on another site that had a lot more questions, I got INFP (Introverted, iNtuitive, Feeling, Perceiving), scoring around the same on the percentages.
Oh boy, another online personality test.
Why don't you just post an "accurate" online IQ test while you're at it?
I've always hated it when questionairres give you "A or B" questions and both answers are wrong. I'm almost insulted by the results. But, whatever. I'll just add another mark to the N/A Wall.
INTJ
78% Introverted
50% Intuitive
38% Thinking
44% Judging
>accurate
>IQ test
Even without 'online' this very idea is ridiculous, because the idea of IQ tests being a good and fair measure of intelligence is only a lie paraded by organisations such as MENSA.
Why don't try and swallow a spoon, then tell us how it works out?
INTJ
So we're all introverts so far. I'm guessing that most of us here will be INTPs INTJs or INFPs INFJs.
That's good. At least I know we're not with among a bunch of Sensing Judgementals.
>>9
Yea bro, I can't stand those guys!
Introverted 100%
Sensing 1%
Feeling 25%
Judging 1%
I don't really get the "1%" parts.
Introverted 89%
Intuitive 62%
Feeling 12%
Perceiving 11%
I'm WAY more feeling and perceving than that. The problem with these tests is they have no basis on anything and can only really gauge the strongest trait they test for, in this case introversion. And I think most people on gurochan are introverted so big surprise.
The point of the test isn't so much to test your feeling or intuitive side in percents, those always vary.
The point is in character type. For example, you are INFP. Type "INFP" into google or wikipedia, and read about your character type. It says there what kind of person INFPs are. Some sites offer insight in general carrier choices or love life of INFPs. Some will even tell you famous people of your type (from history or modern life).
Information on character types are rather general but are also rather informative, and many people found it interesting to see their personality from an unbiased psychological point. It helps people understand themselves better, and see their positive and negative sides.
This test is based on works of Carl Jung, a famous psychiatrist and a founder of analytical psychology. Noted psychologists worked on his ideas and developed this test which is widely used in this area today.
So the percentages really aren't that important.

Can you do everyone a favor and not spend half your time bitching?
>>14
He just cares about the quality of Gurochan.
But for some reason, mentioning rules and guiding off-topic posters is considered a bad thing...
>>15
tbh I agree, although Envy does get a bit crusader on it, it's nice to have someone else sage WAI U LYK GURO? threads...
I'm an ENFP =)
>>16
Not quite.
I'm not in the habit of fellating myself in such a manner, nor do I need to same fag in order to convey such an obvious statement. And really, if I wanted to say something like that I'd just do it under my own name.
>>19
I didn't really intend to compliment you. It's just nice to see somebody else carrying the torch I once held a little over a year ago.
If you would just stop namefagging, everything would be just swell. But I guess you wont consider that.
Is this Myers-Briggs or DID ?
The point stands, though. This thread sucks.
>>21
As if 4chan isn't filled with namefags.
Namefags will always be a no-go in my book.
Just look at me. I'm sucking his cock already and I don't even want to.
Why, exactly, is using a screen name bad? Not everyone is ashamed to be a guro fan. I'm sure as hell not. ;/
>>24
Because there is absolutely no reason what-so-ever to use a name on an anonymous imageboard bar, for example, you post artwork on /kaki/ and need to be able to prove your identity when you post.
Otherwise you simple have no excuse. The only possible motivation you could have to adopting an identity is for the attention it receives and to satisfy your own ego. It's not pretty but it's the truth and I am nothing less than honest.
ENTJ
Though I'm not sure how that'd apply to me, really.
By that logic there's no reason to use a name anywhere, ever. Of course people want to be recognized individually, that's human nature, that doesn't make someone egomaniacal - or at the very least any more so than is socially accepted. Even if you didn't quite go to that extreme, people use screen names on virtually every other website out there. What, specifically, makes this one any different?
>>29
On imageboards, you could say names aren't "socially accepted".
Whenever possible, I remain anonymous.
I don't want people to either hate me, or love me. I just want them to be honest.
Names create a link with the feelings you posses. Your raw intention will be altered because you either respect or hate the person you're talking to. But if they don't have an identity, your post's wont be altered because of your feelings, since you've possibly never talked to the person before. I try to act like that when I speak to namefags, but its unpleasant to speak "formally" when you hate the guts of the person you're talking to. Names serve no purpose other than for getting in contact or e-peen enlargement.
>Of course people want to be recognized individually, that's human nature
Some people do try to transcend that. I for one, look up to these people and strive to be like them. Like when a person does something incredible, but refuses to give his identity... Thats just amazing.
>>>29 What, specifically, makes this one any different?
I'll address this first because it's solving your lack of understanding in this area that'll help you the most.
The fundamental difference being this is an anonymous imageboard. You make a concious decision to name yourself and project your ego when there is no reason to doing so other than self-satisfaction. And yes, unfortunately desiring meaningless individual "recognition" for your opinions, which only extends as far as a user name and not your actual person anyway, is egotistical.
>By that logic there's no reason to use a name anywhere, ever.
Fallacious.
Real life is not made up of anonymous interaction because there is merit in people being able to distinguish between one person and another by way of name.
>>>32 Why is this an anonymous image board?
Because it's an image board where interaction by default is anonymous?
>>32
It's an opportunity to hide your identity or to not waste your time with logging in to the site. It's pointless to force "registration" on an imageboard, since there are no such features as profiles. However, there are faggots who hide behind Anonymous to be anal and whine about meaningless topics like "namefagging" in a thread about personality test results. So, a lack of identity makes you somewhat invisible, while a name gives an explicit reference to you as the online personality tending to make certain types of remarks on certain topics. It makes discussion easier, it's more convenient and safer than saying ">>1336727 here" or something. Identity frees you from being part of a huge pile of gray shit.
>Like when a person does something incredible, but refuses to give his identity...
A large part of the anonymous community behaves this way on the imageboards. It's called contributing.
>>34
Due to boards being completely different than a community with user database, names can be easily hijacked, even when "secured" with a tripcode. You can easily follow posts in a fully anonymous thread as long as the reasoning is within the 60 IQ threshold.
People usually complain about GUROchan's userbase being full of shit and underageb&, but I don't see many "namefags" getting impersonated like on many famous - and equally retarded - channels.
Maybe they're just not worth the time, though.
(saging for being off-topic)
Myers-Briggs is FAIL because through the years of doing it I was already given 4 different personalities
stereotyping yourself is retarded, trying to bring each human into one of 16 set categories is retarded because every fucking human is different
namefaging on anonymous image boards is full of AIDS
>>32 is full of AIDS
this whole thread is dying because of CANCER and offtopic and AIDS
most of you in this thread fail at life
>>36 is full of FAIL because you absolutely don't need to namefag yourself to give a source, just fucking write the source in the comment field or whatever
gurochan is still awesome
yeah, now I feel much better, thanks doods
an identity would be fine for an artist or whatever, for example on kaki. here not so much. I don't care if someone has an identity or not, I don't even read the name field 99% of the time.
I'm pretty sure everyone here just approaches a post by its content, and if someone replies to you by post number it's really not that hard to keep up.
thankfully I've never seen people be intentional douchebags and reply to a post that wasn't addressed to them, pretending they're the person. touch wood.
>>38
I AM CANCER!
I'M IN UR FAT - FILLING UR DISK.
>thankfully I've never seen people be intentional douchebags and reply to a post that wasn't addressed to them, pretending they're the person.
How would you know? They're anonymous.
I don't care if people reply for me, as long as they can carry my intentions out in reasonable quality. My own personal input doesn't really matter.
>every fucking human is different
That's right, we're all special little angels and each of us has an amazing gift that only we can exercise.
Grow up, personality tests aren't meant to be totally perfect, the archetypes are there as a generality, and doing the same test multiple times with different results over any time period is hardly shocking.
INFP
I like namefags, especially if they can keep up with a good quality of posting. Anonymous is great too, of course, but some namefag regulars give the place more community feel. It's reassuring that there are regular visitors here, and so the rest of the regular visitors don't feel like particularly committed perverts.
I'm INTP.

I took the Myers Briggs test several years ago and I was not impressed with the results. In fact a few of the people who took it with me were not impressed with the results I got or that they got for themselves. One woman cried because she felt the test answered all of the questions she'd had her entire life and was so happy. Her life however didn't change for the better the way she expected it would, however unrealistic that expectation was.
I don't think tests like this are helpful. I think that they at best reflect your mood on the day you took the test. Mood rings are far less expensive however. Trying to put everyone in their correctly labeled box isn't useful especially when the sorting method isn't very good. On the other hand everyone insisting that they are a unique little snowflake is going to the other end of the spectrum. Neither is useful in my opinion.
I have no idea what my results were, I made no point to remember them or to keep the paperwork.
>>46
Basically, the answers are biased by way of thinking. I tend to view things from an inhuman point of view, and while a question does suggest an attitude, I come to the same answer on a different route of thoughts.
Example:
Rate from 1-5 where 1 is full disagreement and 5 is full agreement.
"Killing is bad."
I'd say it's between 1 and 2, since you kill animals to eat and you also tend to kill things that pose a major threat to your life - or even just nuisance like mosquitos.
People tend to think in morals and not logic, so for the vast majority, it's useful. The reason behind a conclusion however can be very different. There were questions that popped in as "WTF they wanted to know that?"
You're overthinking this one buddy. And you're filtering it all through some personal experience shit, which doesn't really help explain your opinion. Unless your opinion is, don't do it, the test is stupid - it wont help/cure you. Which isn't what the test is about.
What it also isn't about is you being impressed with its results.
ISTP
The only thing default means is that it's the administrator's preferred choice. While >>35 does bring up a good point in that it's not difficult for anyone to impersonate someone who uses a name, I like to think the majority of GUROchan is above that level. Beyond that, I'm just arguing that there's no explicit and objective reason that makes using a name immoral or unintelligent.
I'm not going out on some big "anyone who doesn't use a name is retarded" limb here. I'm not for or against them. I'm just against people who go assuming the worst about people who choose to use them, and I'm arguing that there's nothing wrong with using names. Have you seen that thread about famous guro fans in the archives? I like to think I'm setting something of an example (or at the very least illustrating that I have a choice in the matter) in saying that there's no reason to be in the closet about it. Maybe some people agree with me, maybe some people don't. I won't judge them either way. But I don't appreciate being blindly insulted just for choosing to do something that's deemed unpopular.
I tend to think the two are one and the same. At least my versions of them are, anyway. As is the case with virtually all tests, there were more than a few questions that, as I stated earlier, had a simple yes or no answer, neither of which was applicable. Some examples being asking someone if they feel involved when watching soap operas when they hate soap operas, or variable questions like "strict observance of established rules" which pay no mind to situational details. (What said rules are and who or what they were established by)
The test is about profiling. I imagined the end-all four-letter tagging system would have suggested that.
(Not trying to cause trouble with the name debate, I've been moving the last few days so it took a while before I could respond.)
>I like to think I'm setting something of an example
I agree. Let's set a good example from now on.
By the way, INTJ, OP.
>I like to think the majority of GUROchan is above that level.
I wouldn't count on that.
Looking at the imageboards, it feels like half of them are 14 years old. They write as if they came straight from /b/ with their "SAUCE!!1!", "MOAR!" and their obviously off-topic threads. No, the mental age here definitely isn't high.
>Beyond that, I'm just arguing that there's no explicit and objective reason that makes using a name immoral or unintelligent.
Then tell me why you're using a name yourself.
So that people can see you're the one who's posting a lot of awesome pictures? So that people can see you're smart and know how to handle yourself verbally?
>Have you seen that thread about famous guro fans in the archives? I like to think I'm setting something of an example
Forget what I said earlier. I got my answer.
