Never heard of True Colours myself. I have done some personality profile type exercises in the past but, to be honest, I don't even remember my results. Enneagram is the one that was all the rage with an online community that I briefly associated with but I never did the exercise.

The seminary cohort who came in after mine had to do the enneagram, but we were spared from it. From what I've read of it online, I'm a "4-w-3"
 
Perceiving - is the actual trait
I would assume, intuitively lol - some who think we’re an F are actually T - Thinking. And some who think they’re F are actually S (what’s the substantive difference between “sensing and feeling” - not much if you’re a thesaurus :)!) Etc. …it’s only a superficial guide though. Can be helpful with career choices. It used to figure more prominently because of the job I did. I was into that and other superficial tools that were really only guides, expedient tools and not psychoanalysis.

Didn’t know A was even part of it but I’m probably more assertive than I used to be. I’m not going to bother doing it again because it’s always INFP.

We were told in seminary (my cohort was tested there) that basic personality type doesn't change except as a result of extreme trauma. I hope you haven't been through any of that, DL.

Of course, one can act more "as if." During my time here in Korea, I've been working as a pastor and an English teacher, so I've been acting more "as if" I'm an extrovert.

And, of course, one can always get different indicator results - mistype one or more times. I mean, I've tested as an INTJ, an INFP, an ENFP, and an ISFP

A isn't a part of MBTI. A and T are most commonly from a free personality quiz called "16 Personalities" which is based more on the Big 5 personality assessment

My wife died (the intense grief of which I only within the past 2 years have come oot of the worst-- I actually felt insane...that the entire world was hostile, hell, and lots of disassociation for me...I think I may have PTSD lol) during the
I survived the pandemic
The insanity which is still ongoing
(and the whole global kerfuffle)
My mom died
My oma died
I have survived 2 suicide attempts (interesting experiences. my will to live was stronger. insanely strong. i might try again -- lots of cold water here and lots of alcohol.and good powerful plants...i love this world and all the people in it, but i am a coward for suffering...)
Those would.probably count?

Probably.

I'm sorry for your losses.

I'm happy you're still with us
 
MB is a floating point indication ... like a cesspool and why some powers are very draining ... thus deflation every once in a while to demonstrate deflation and escaping Eire ... how some great senses leave Yah ...
 
I found all my INFJ peeps, (which are supposed to be so darn rare) in my online autistic women's group. Some said, "Well here's where we all are!".
 
MB Validity is an unstable test that is a testament of timely alteration ... thus buns, puns and rollovers in times ...

In time for what? We graciously don't know ... a state that needs to be experienced so you can identify with it ... when there's nothing to do ... clusters appear ... Phoe Qua? may resemble the polish dance ... byre prerequisite ... to loosen up deb ones ... shake it out!
 
I tested INFJ over thirty years ago with the I and E almost equal. We (our seminary class) were told the MB was most useful in understanding how we function so we could compensate for our inclinations. Same for the conflict preference test.

INFJs are a great tribe. We were tested also in sem, and my result was ISFP. Following our testing, we had a Saturday workshop where an MBTI Practitioner chatted with us. She told me she was surprised to find an ISFP in seminary, that it's not our usual cup of tea :coffee:
 
One thing impressed on me by a psychologist (a hated breed of folk) was that the MB was an unstable evaluation that required a number of repetitions to get a decent population expose of how a personality would cluster! Like a p'oke at singularities ... phoke? Pho Kaye ... like country dances ... pro vin cial/Ciel?

Reach for it ... one may extend a hand ... and do the reel ... like incarnates like that dancing in you aye and then out it goes ...
