![]() It's really unusual to get an exact 50/50 split for every letter unless you've put the middle (neutral) option for every single question. In other situations, her Thinking preference might give the opposite answer. It comes with the territory of parenthood. This sometimes means that a parent, for instance, will observe in a test that she "makes sure everyone is taken care of" – a behavior that's associated with a Feeling preference –because that's what she does every day. None of us lives in a silo, and we adapt our behavior according to the circumstances. Why? Because humans are diverse and adaptable creatures. Only a tiny percentage of outliers will score large percentages, showing a massively dominant preference, on any of the four scales. ![]() It's actually pretty unusual to find someone who tests in the outer reaches of the scale say 95 percent or even 100 percent for a certain letter. So, if you score 48 percent Introverted/ 52 percent Extraverted, for example, that's normal. The graph looks like a bell curve, with most of us clustered around the 50 to 65 percent mark. In terms of the numbers, most people type somewhere in the middle for each scale. Which is a rambling way of saying – an ESTJ is not an ESTJ is not an ESTJ. Most people will agree with some aspects of their personality profile and barely recognize themselves in others. "Best fit" does not mean "perfect fit" – that's important. We just conveniently dump all these different personalities into the house of ESTJ because that code is the best fit compared to the other houses (and a system with hundreds of codes would be impossible to manage). Superficially, both ESTJs have the same label but psychologically, there are going to be massive variations in how these people express themselves. So, you could be an ESTJ scoring Extravert (98 percent), Sensing (75 percent), Thinking (88 percent) and Judging (100 percent), or you could be an ESTJ scoring 51/ 58/ 53/ 52. ![]() For each scale, there's a numerical value for how strong your dominant trait is compared to its opposite number, ranging from 51 percent (very weak) to 100 percent (totally dominant). Whenever we take a test, all we are measuring is our preference on each of the four spectrums. So don't be surprised if you're also drawn to several "best fit" profiles, all of which describe you to a T – or if you type in the middle with no firm profile at all.Įveryone of us is an Extravert and an Introvert, an Intuitive and a Sensor, a Thinker and a Feeler, a Judger and a Perceiver. This explains why the fandom really can't agree whether Harry is an ISTP, INFP, ISFJ, ISFP, INFJ, as his observed behaviors make a strong case for each of these types and more. The 16 types involve a complex constellation of characteristics that layer and interact, and are actually quite tricky to separate out from each other. If you really, really don't want to be an ISFP, ENTJ or Slytherin, you can always tweak your answers and get sorted into a different house.Įven if you answer the questions honestly, the fact is that some of your personality traits – your "courage," for example, or your "nice thirst to prove yourself" – can place you into well over half the houses. But just as Harry Potter realized, it's a self-reported test. Like the sorting hat, the questions of a personality quiz are designed to probe your mind, behaviors and preferences and sort you into one of 16 houses based on your answers. Yet, unwittingly, she created a perfect symbol for personality testing. I doubt JK Rowling had Isabel Briggs Myers in mind when she imagined the sorting hat. "Are you sure? You could be great, you know, it's all here in your head, and Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness, no doubt about that - no? Well, if you're sure - better be GRYFFINDOR!" "Not Slytherin, eh?" said the small voice. Harry gripped the edges of the stool and thought, not Slytherin, not Slytherin. ![]() There's talent, my goodness, yes - and a nice thirst to prove yourself, now that's interesting.
