What's your Myers-Briggs personality type?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

If you've ever taken this personality test, what was your type? What speciality of nursing are you in? I'm a student considering the ER and am an INFJ.

Well, I'm not too sharp about all things allnurses, but I do know when you start a post, right at the blank form you get to fill in the topic and the post, just after you check the box saying you agree to the TOS, you will see a checkbox at the very bottom right of the page that reads "add poll." If you check that box, the next page will be a form to make a poll.

Since you've already posted, I'm not sure exactly how you'd add one now. Maybe with an edit? (Moderators, please feel free to jump in here!)

Thanks for considering a poll and for coming up with a very interesting topic.

You're welcome! I may just tally up all the personality traits and make a post with that.

INTJ. The rarest of them all.

I ran through the questions without "thinking to hard" so as not to skew the results (as much as is possible in a self-assessment quiz).

I got INTJ as well (Acute Dialysis RN here--love a good challenge and shine best when left to my own devices).

Why is this INTJ "rare?"

Why is this INTJ "rare?"

Because its an extraordinarily introverted personality type. I don't think it's beneficial to have that many people who don't thrive on social interaction.

Why are so many of us nurses here self-reporting as "Introverts?"It makes me wonder if we are not responding based upon how we feel at the end of a workday or week of clinicals and lecture. Anyone who has taken a basic statistics course surely realizes the limitations of a "test" such as this.

I did mine based on the test result I took on humanmetrics. I was 89% introverted.

I don't think they have a list of that. However, I'm an INFJ as well! Just look through the other 7 responses to see what theirs are. Are you nurse? If so, what kind of nursing do you do?

No. Not according to the Briggs-Meyers site. It's only moderately introverted. (See above posts regarding "rarest.")

That said, it is interesting to me to see that nearly 50% of the respondents thus far in this thread self-classify themselves as introverts.

Pop culture and popular perception does not identify nurses as introverts. Very interesting dichotomy of possible reality vs. preconception. Hmmmm....
