Personality tests

[Sforza]

From a user on intpforum:

The problem with the tests is that in order to figure out whether someone is "J" or "P," they rely on questions about how neat you are or whether you stick to deadlines. After perusing this site, I've decided that being J really isn't about that. Sure, those could be symptoms of Jness, but they do not define Jness (if that makes sense). I have speculated that it's very possible for a P to test as a J simply because they've learned how to be efficient. Conversely, I would guess that some J's (especially INTJ's) might test as P's because they don't necessarily care about efficiency. According to the cognitive function letters, what makes you J is whether you apply your judging function to the outside world. My rule of thumb is that P's doesn't try to personally affect the outside world, while J's do. J's seem to be rather dynamic - they're always trying to move "stuff," whether that's people, objects, or ideas. I guess that's why a lot of people associate the need to be neat with J type personalities, because of the need to move stuff (though, I really think the "neat" thing is mostly an STJ thing).

That's the best differentiating quote for J or P I've read so far. A lot of us seem to be confused over their J or P-ness. In any case, I think I tend more strongly towards INTP now because of the dominant Ti-Ne function, despite the non-existent Fe. I'll probably write a more descriptive thing on this soon when I'm not too busy reading stuff on both intpf and intjf
