I've can only tell you I've taken that test 4 or 5 times, and had three different classifications under it.

I think the entire idea of a human having a permently set personality described by four letters is an absurdly reductionist attempt to quantify a relatively fluid quality.

Am I the me I was in my teens? Twenties? Am I the me that was joyfully bartending and fucking tons of chicks in 2018, or the me who was curled up in his trash-filled bed, clutching a bottle of whiskey and not having spoked to anyone in months in 2021?

Maybe they were all the same person, but I can tell you some of those people were extroverted and rational, while others couldn't talk to another soul or find a reason to do anything at all.

The test makes me skeptical.

They give that stupid test at my job every few years. I fluctuate between INTJ and INFJ. Then they group us up and laugh at the small groups. I'm usually with one or two dudes that I get along with and we roll our eyes and talk video games or guns.

The new classifications at work are some colors bullshit that of course most of us landed in one group because we are all IT. So now they have some bird grouping they are beta testing.

I don't get why it's so important to them to classify us. My managers think it's great but they are spreadsheet pajeets.

The new classifications at work are some colors

Alright, so we will be classifying you guys into groups by color this year. Here is how we broke it down using your advanced personality matrix scores:

White - A worker creatively solves problems, works hard, gets along with others. A real go-getter

Yellow - A diligent employee who works hard at solving any task, but seems stuck in his ways, and has difficulty thinking creatively, and may have some small interpersonal office problems, like microwaving fish in chili oil in the breakdown

Brown - While these employees may have a lot of technical qualifications, it seems like they might not actually know how to do anything, and they typically cause more problems than they solve.

Black - We all know why they got hired.

Now breakup into your groups. The "white" group has a mandatory three hour HR course to sit through on how they are holding the company back. Everyone else can have the rest of the day off.

Lol. If only they bothered using it. They 'ask' that we add it to our email signatures. I won't even add all the letters on the end of my name (my boss keeps mentioning it but I won't do it until he makes me) and I have no idea if my title is even right.

I just want to do my job, leave me alone! I'm antisocial. I will always rest as antisocial. Just tell me what to do and go away.

My pajeet boss wants me to go to dinner with him. I have been making up excuses forever. He is soooo socal that he gets us in calls just to find out what we are doing after work. I shut him down and it has just made him more curious. I'm not good at lying. Sigh.

Did you just turn your comment denouncing my post into "Today's Top Coms"? Typical libra.

And it was riddled with spelling errors.

Tests are more or less useless. If you really want to type yourself properly, you have to study the functions yourself. The system is meant to be used on fully developed adults who are in good state of mind.

Agreed. Besides, if anyone's personality is simple enough to be described in four letters, they are definitely an NPC.
