Personality And Poker

[barrec 0]

Here's another online personality test... http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.aspIt's results mimic that of the Myers-Briggs test. I'm curious to see if there is a common trait/personality style among poker players on this forum - not that any one personality is better, so much as there is a more common one.I'm an INFJ. What are you?

[Dogpatch 2]

ENTJYou are:

• slightly expressed extravert
• distinctively expressed intuitive personality
• moderately expressed thinking personality
• slightly expressed judging personality

Hmmm.. I'm the first extrovert. But I'm REALLY not an extrovert. Just slightly I suppose.

Again, nailed the ENTP thing:ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue--both for its own sake, and to show off their often-impressive skills. They tend to have a perverse sense of humor as well, and enjoy playing devil's advocate. They sometimes confuse, even inadvertently hurt, those who don't understand or accept the concept of argument as a sport.Uh. Yeah. I'm an arrogant prick, if that's what you're getting at buddy. ENTPs have little patience with those they consider wrongheaded or unintelligent, and show little restraint in demonstrating this. However, they do tend to be extremely genial, if not charming, when not being harassed by life in general.Uh. Yeah. I'm unusually judgmental of stupid people, and still an arrogant prick. But a likable one.Famous ENTPs include:Bugs BunnyTom HangsWile. E. CoyoteGarfield the CatMatthew Perry/ChandlerWeird Al YankovickI... am very unhappy that Daffy isn't an ENTP. I... may have to slit my wrists.Wang

Yeah that pretty much describes me pretty well. I never really saw myself as an extravert. Its not that it bothers me to talk alot in social situations i just prefer not most of the time.

You're probably barely an extrovert. Check the INTP analysis, see if that describes you well, too. I'm weird in that respect. Like, when I'm in public or around friends, I'm very outgoing and chatty. But when I don't want to be in public -- which is relatively often -- I'll simply go home, open a book, and read for 3 days. I'm definitely an extrovert, as anyone who knows me could testify, but I have my introverted phases. And I definitely have a perverted sense of humor. Hence the name I chose to post on this forum.Wang

rather interesting results so far, i think. the only commonality i've seen in almost everyone's response is N (intuitive). i suppose that makes sense, though. how else does do people fold kings preflop?

Your Type isINTJIntroverted Intuitive Thinking JudgingStrength of the preferences %78 12 25 78This hit the nail on the head.Personal relationships, particularly romantic ones, can be the INTJ's Achilles heel. While they are capable of caring deeply for others (usually a select few), and are willing to spend a great deal of time and effort on a relationship, the knowledge and self-confidence that make them so successful in other areas can suddenly abandon or mislead them in interpersonal situations.This happens in part because many INTJs do not readily grasp the social rituals; for instance, they tend to have little patience and less understanding of such things as small talk and flirtation (which most types consider half the fun of a relationship). To complicate matters, INTJs are usually extremely private people, and can often be naturally impassive as well, which makes them easy to misread and misunderstand. Perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that INTJs really want people to make sense. :-) This sometimes results in a peculiar naivete', paralleling that of many Fs -- only instead of expecting inexhaustible affection and empathy from a romantic relationship, the INTJ will expect inexhaustible reasonability and directness.Probably the strongest INTJ assets in the interpersonal area are their intuitive abilities and their willingness to "work at" a relationship. Although as Ts they do not always have the kind of natural empathy that many Fs do, the Intuitive function can often act as a good substitute by synthesizing the probable meanings behind such things as tone of voice, turn of phrase, and facial expression. This ability can then be honed and directed by consistent, repeated efforts to understand and support those they care about, and those relationships which ultimately do become established with an INTJ tend to be characterized by their robustness, stability, and good communications.

That's nothing. Go to the "Do You Have A Personality Disorder?" thread. I have nothing to hide:INFPs are quiet, creative , sensitive and perceptive souls who often strike others as shy, reserved and cool. These folks have a rare capacity for deep caring and commitment--both to the people and causes they idealise. INFPs guide their behavior by a strong inner sense of values, rather than by convential logic and reason. Forced to cope with this facts-and-figures 'real' world we inhabit, INFPs may appear to have been imported from another galaxy! They gravitate toward creative or human service careers which allow them to use their instinctive sense of empathy and remarkable communication skills. Strongly religious, spiritual or philosophical people, INFPs may see the purpose of their lives as an inner journey, quest or personal unfolding. More practical or rational types may tend to discredit the INFP's sources or understanding as mystical. The search for a soulmate is a preoccupation for many INFPs , who must balance their need for privacy and peace with their yearning for human connection. If there seems to be an air of sadness INFP's spirit, blame it on this type's longing for the perfect in all things

I guess I'll buck the trend by being the only S so far, but it wasn't a very strong S.ISTJInspector Guardians look carefully and thoroughly at the people and institutions around them. Making up perhaps as much as ten percent of the general population, Inspectors are characterized by decisiveness in practical affairs, are the guardians of institutions, and if only one adjective could be selected, "superdependable" would best describe them. Whether at home or at work, Inspectors are nothing if not dependable, particularly when it comes to examining the people and products they are responsible for-quietly seeing to it that uniform quality is maintained, and that those around them uphold certain standards of attitude and conduct. These quiet, no-nonsense Guardians have a distaste for and distrust of fanciness in speech, dress, and living space. Their words tend to be simple and down-to-earth, not showy or high-flown; their clothes are often homespun and conservative rather than of the latest fashion; and their home and work environments are usually neat, orderly, and traditional, rather than up-to-date or luxurious. In their choice of personal property (cars, furnishings, jewelry, and so on) price and durability are just as important as comfort or appearance. Classics, antiques, and heirlooms are especially valued, having achieved a certain time-honored status-Inspectors prefer the old-fashioned to the newfangled every time. Even on vacation, Inspectors tend not to be attracted by exotic foods, beverages, or locales. Their thoroughness and orderliness, combined with their interest in legality and standardization, leads Inspectors to a number of occupations that call for the careful administration of goods and services. Inspectors feel right at home with difficult, detailed forms and columns of figures, and thus they make excellent bank examiners, auditors, accountants, and tax attorneys. Managing investments in securities is likely to interest this type, particularly investments in municipal bonds and blue-chip securities. Inspectors are not likely to take chances either with their own or others' money, and the thought of a bankrupt nation, state, institution, or family gives them more than a little uneasiness. The idea of dishonoring a contract also bothers an Inspector -their word is their bond-and they naturally communicate a message of trustworthiness and stability, which can make them successful in business. With their eye for detail, Inspectors make good business men and women, librarians, dentists, optometrists, legal secretaries, and law researchers. High school and college teachers of business administration, home economics, physical education, civics, and history tend to be Inspectors, as do quartermaster officers in the military.
