I am INTJ. Take a guess on how it reflects on writing.

>>5929690
you write cheap erotic novels?

>>5929681
INFJ

You are one of the Diplomats - an empathic and idealistic individual who enjoys exploring interesting ideas and prizes morality. You are known for your deep thoughts, strong will and intuitive skills.

>>5929694
>you write cheap erotic novels?

Nice guess but no. I try to write philosophical novels that end really badly for everyone.

A goddamned pansy when it comes down to it.

>>5929681

I guess I'm a deep thinker

Dipset forever bruhhh ;)

Also INTJ because I'm a faggot.

>>5929681
I'm INTJ and my girlfriend is INFJ. We're a match made in heaven, but none of you care about that. Anyways.

I read lots of science fiction and semi-fantasy. She reads great amounts of full on fantasy and graphic novels.

INTP
I'm the next Descartes

INFP is Lit masterrace.
Other personality types get out

INTP

romanticism is my favorite school of literature
especially in poetry

I think personality types are a crock of shit

>>5929746
>>5929735
Whoops, sorry about the doubles.

>>5929754
So am I

>>5929746
>I'm INTJ and my girlfriend is INFJ. We're a match made in heaven.

How did you meet her if you're both introverts?

ISFP.

I don't write, I just read an extreme amount. I'd rather be a reviewer and essayist concerning literature than a writer.

infp

>>5929681
Are any of the personality types "bad" or do they all get a glossy description?

>>5929769

If you're anything besides IN**, you don't belong here. Otherwise no.

INTP.

the extent of introversion basically just depends on my mood when i take it but its definitely somewhere between 30-40%. the divide for thinking/feeling is pretty arbitrary, i think it comes from my mum whos very extroverted and would definitely be an F, and my dad whos the opposite.

in terms of writing i think that close divide between thinking/feeling means im good at writing analytically (lit crit at uni) but have to make an effort at empathy when it comes to creative writing, its kind of an exciting challenge though

i actually find this stuff super interesting since i took the test so im curious about other people on the board, keep posting frens :)

>All these I-type betas

ENTP.

Socially functioning philosopher master race

>>5929763
I'm very impressionable with what I read. Sometimes I feel like literature was specifically designed for people like me. really gets inside of my head. I'm completely and irrevocably incompatible with the real world. Lit is where I find my comfort zone. outside of my comfort zone I feel depressed and confused. I get frustrated in social situations because the conversation in my mind is more important then interacting with others. truly an outcast.

INTJ or INTP depending on which test I do. What is even their main difference, is INTP a lazier and less edgy version of INTJ?

>>5929781

INFJ, I like to write dark poetry but I'm trying to lighten it up. Sometimes I write love poems, I wrote a nice poem for a girl and she said "I love you" to me twice and I didn't say anything back because I'm autistic and she was also pretty hot (lel)

I'm usually an even split between INFP and ENFP, although the cognitive functions are pretty dissimilar.

I write romance and alt history, and sometimes even fanfiction. I certainly read more of the latter than I should. ;_;

these always seem just slightly off the mark
>how does your personality reflect in your literature?
prose before hoes

>>5929681
Apparently I am INFP. It keeps saying my type tends to be optimistic but I'm definitely a pessimist, right now, at least. I value lofty ideals, and my writing is definitely heavily dependent on playing with them, I guess.

>>5929810
>I'm definitely a pessimist

Maybe you're just a disappointed idealist.

>>5929819

As always, I've gotten INTP: emo edition.

Not that any of this MBTI shit means anything

>>5929797

>prose before hoes

Nice to so many infps in one thread. Even though this test is bullshit, the human mind is too complex to be split in to just 16 types.

>>5929779
Another ENTP here. E is awful

>>5929749
Spoken like a true INTP.

INTJ

AUTIST'S MASTER RACE

Get enfp when happy
Get infp when depressed

>>5929835

its funny, when they gave me INTP and said i was more likely to notice logical errors and discrepancies etc, the first thing i noticed was they misspelled extroverted :c

Scored ENTP and the profile reflected me well

ENTP

i have a certain fascination with INFJ women

mostly i just wanna fuck the so hard its not even ok. but also i wanna kill them

such is life

>>5929834

Well I'm only borderline . I'm fairly sure a full E would be unbearable

>>5929779
INTP and I function perfectly fine in social situations. Do people actually automatically assume that introverted equates to socially retarded?

>>5929744
Validate that.

>>5929833
>>5929828
point is to learn about yourself. there's a website that outlines which personality type famous writers had as well as some inspirational quotes.

>>5929838
most infps will get talkative when elated with joy(this is quite rare)

>>5929851

No I was just being a Dick because I'm on /lit/ you autist

This is as worthy as the quiz where you figure out which member of One Direction you have a crush on. Which is perfectly alright.

The difference is that my government pays the salary of people who do nothing but administer these tests. So these things aren't just harmless fun but an objective social parasite.

>>5929849
>never been so grateful to be an infp

>>5929866

That would make them an economic parasite really, not a social one.

>>5929866
>This is as worthy as the quiz where you figure out which member of One Direction you have a crush on.

>tfw literally just took one of those yesterday
I got Zayn. It was right.

>>5929848
When writing a story I like it to reflect my personal experiences or ideas. This is probably reflected in ENTP's whole argumentative thing. It's almost a little therapeutic.

>>5929881

solid choice

>the I went to Harry Styles' sister's party 2 weeks ago but there was no qtpi pop star there for me

I used to get INFJ or INTJ before.
>affects prose
I write monologues after something happens in my stories. Why he acted as he did, what he associates with the given situation, like a pretentious reference to another work of fiction. Then I end thoughts with deadpan humour, or self criticism.

"INFPs often take their idealism too far, setting themselves up for disappointment as, again and again, evil things happen in the world. This is true on a personal level too, as INFPs may not just idealize their partners, but idolize them, forgetting that no one is perfect."

"INFPs are private, reserved and self-conscious. This makes them notoriously difficult to really get to know, and their need for these qualities contributes to the guilt they often feel for not giving more of themselves to those they care about."

"INFPs sometimes see themselves as selfish, but only because they want to give so much more than they are able to. This becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, as they try to push themselves to commit to a chosen cause or person, forgetting to take care of the needs of others in their lives, and especially themselves."

>I went to Harry Styles' sister's party 2 weeks ago but there was no qtpi pop star there for me
I don't know if I've been so jealous of a person in my life. How did you even land an invite? TELL ME EVERYTHING, ANON.
...or, you know, as much as you can, assuming you didn't have to sign an NDA or something.

So we have

A genuine retard.

>>5929713
>being this turbulent

>>5929919

Um, not really a big deal. One of my friend's is dating a guy who is part of a friendship circle involving her. I guess living around London helps. It was just like any other house party really.

INTP

I write like a bad imitation of myself

Reminder that ENTPs are the best debaters on 4chan

>"One of the main issues faced by INFPs is that they gravitate toward putting their partners on an imaginary pedestal, both when they are still dating and even later in the relationship. In other words, INFPs tend to idealize and romanticize their (sometimes long-awaited) partners, assigning them unrealistic traits. This happens because INFPs are often so focused on the ideals of romance and love that when love finally knocks on their door, it becomes difficult to separate imagination from reality."

I'd always call my gf an angel and thought she was perfect. I was not ready for this feel when I first read it.
"INFPs may also often retreat into their “hermit” state (this personality type can easily switch between the “active” and “hermit” states), withdrawing from the world and getting lost in their deep thoughts."

i'm libra! xd

>>5929942
haha cancer here :*^) whats ur rising sine

I'm autistic as fuck in real life so the result it's no surprise.

And it doesn't mean anything since I'm already aware that I'm retarded.

>>5929961
>the result it's no surprise

>>5929965
I'm a non-native speaker, as a consequence lots of writing mistakes occur.

My apologies if my errors are a trouble to you.

I always get INFP.

>>5929934
Aaand now I feel like an idiot for getting so overexcited. I'm not even a huge fan, honestly, but Zayn, man...
That Perrie is a lucky bitch.
>I guess living around London helps.
I really need to spend some time in London. I've only been once, and that was a day trip from Bath. ;_; Lucky, lucky anon~

Looks like I'm INTJ again (did this test a couple years ago). Not a huge surprise.

My writing, strangely enough, tends to be less analytic than you might think, and I'm prone to draw and draw a bigger but less clear picture rather than a clearer but smaller one. Professors generally appreciate my insights, although they mostly mark me down for generalizing or not having a clear focus or thesis statement.

>>5929965
he's aware he's retarded tho

>>5929681
gr8

My INFP friend was dating a chick and when he made a move, she revealed that she was a in fact a pre-op 'chick'; he was completely find with this and they got busy. I'm fairly sure he's only been with women before, but who knows.

Is this reflected in that personality type?

>>5930028
I don't think /lit/ would know.

>>5929940
I did the same thing. It happens. Use it as a learning experience for next time.

>>5930033
sadly my sexuality isn't as sensitive as it used to be

>>5930028
infp are usually feminine themselves

>>5929838
same
never gotten enfp tho

>>5930028
I have never even tried to get a girlfriend
I am completely oblivious to social cues
I will probably die alone, forgotten

>>5930041
>>5930029

>>5930028
they're very emotionally driven and open-minded, but they also have a strong code of ethics for themselves. they do see the world in shades of gray, but things are usually pretty black & white for them personally, so no - i don't think that would be common unless his values included pansexuality to begin with.

Am I the only one here?

"Comprising just 4% of the population, the risk of feeling misunderstood is unfortunately high for the INFP personality type - but when they find like-minded people to spend their time with, the harmony they feel will be a fountain of joy and inspiration."

that is not happening in /lit/ lol

INTJs are middling pseudointellectuals who consistently overestimate their intelligence.

Not necessarily fedoras, but pretty fucking intolerable to be around. They're prone to make your eyes roll when they open their mouths.

I am INFP too.

Why are there so many on /lit/?

>>5930119

ISFP here.

Every time.
This isn't a good way to define yourself though. No internet test is.

INFJ.

INTJ

Seems like one of the autistic personalities but personality tests are dumb anyways.

I don't write but I read non-fiction almost exclusively.

>>5929937
INTP
i tend to try hard with my prose (which im pretty sure makes my wirting convoluted) so that i write kinda like a schizophrenic. I start to think like the dead girl's brother from Borges's The Aleph so that i see literary word play in the smallest shit possible and put that first instead of writing conscisely. I thankfully am aware of it and can control most of it but it still scares me that i write so, somehwat literally, autistically.

this thread reveals more about /lit/ than any personality test could

>>5930267
This is like every other board /v/ doesn't play, /fit/ doesn't lift,/lit/ doesn't read etc

INTP

I want to write like Raymond Carver. Efficient, direct, and realistic. I don't like anything superfluous, be it grammar, punctuation, or vocabulary.

Is this attitude reflective of an INTP mindset? I can't tell if the analytic aspect of INTP is supposed to be dreamy or purely rational.

>>5930247
My nigga I could not have written that into words myself

>>5930287
classic year of the ox question

>>5930267
i used to be afraid to post on /lit/ because i thought my grammar and sentence structure would be critiqued or some shit, but now that i know you're all a bunch of pseudointellectuals, i feel at home. and i have this thread to thank for it.

>INTP
I dont read or write too often, just when I really feel like it.

Otherwise I'm always doing other stuff, except I'm actually daydreaming.

None of you guys take this seriously, right?

>>5929833

uh yeah that test is bullshit, but other personality tests aren't. obviously yeah, but factor analyzing n distilling the thousands of possible descriptions for people into a handful helps for personality at a glance

>>5929844

nah you can spell it either way, extraverted is preferred in research literature tho

So it's spot on

why does this one guy keep complaining about MBTI?

i wonder if he will run out of insults soon

>>5930295

i was recently writing an essay of humor for a dumb class assignment and spent like 20 seconds devising a plan to switch the adjectives of voluminous amount (describing air in a container) and pestilant stench (referring to farts ) so that it would seem ridiculous. These two phrases where right next to one another btw. Of course, what didnt occur to me was the futility and idiocy of it since the teacher wouldve not noticed.

>128 replies to a dumb 20th-century horoscope

>>5930384
do you think posts like this vindicate your taking MBTI seriously? it's indefensible and possibly dangerous

this thread was alright but I didn't like the circumlocutory prose and I think it's basis is unfalsifiable nonsense

>>5929681

>>5930471
it's actually appropriate for once to call a thread topic unfalsifiable nonsense

>>5930295
Now that im not typing with one hand while the other puts popcorn into my mouth, i can tell this other moment of autism which will probably get deketed as soon as this horrible thread dies. On a test i had to write a short couple sentences describing a story using the weeks vocab words. I ended up writing about two men (possibly a writer and his publisher?) who get into a confrontation after one busts into the others office. By the end of it i wrote something along the lines of: He would not give up his stubborn position. The point was to use the noun he instead of a name to allude to both being stubborn not just the one previously mentioned. To claify, one barged into the room and started yelling while the other calmly told him no. Both were being stubborn but stubborn has a negative connotation which would usually only be applied to the angry one while the serene man would be excused. Using they wouldve been too easy and lame. So i wrote it in terms of individuals, not using the both form but rather the either one form. My teached ended up counting it as an error and i got like a 91% or some shit.
