<p>A whole bunch of I’s and N’s.</p>

<p>Well i took two tests and got ENTJ and the second time I got ISTJ. So the T and J are definitely me. Probably because I like to think a lot! And that goes into the J, because I’m very analytical and I empathize with people, but I guess more so than I sympathize. Kinda like, I can always “understand” and"relate", but that doesn’t necessarily mean “when you hurt, I hurt”. As far as the first test I was a 51/49 split between E and I, which is me. I like being social, but I like my me time. And I am definitely S and not N. I like the facts and then working with what I know. I need a foundation I can latch onto before I jump the gun.</p>

<p>But I think it’s interesting to note that I didn’t get more than 55% on any category on the first test. I guess that just describes me. Which is why in government I am the most moderate person in my class getting a 49 on social issues and 50 on economic issues. I fit in everywhere and nowhere all at the same time.</p>

122

<p>The fact that so many people here KNOW about the Myers Briggs test is getting me excited about the prospect of being a student at U Chicago :D. When I first tested a few years ago I was an INFP, but since then I think I’ve become a little bit more outgoing and now straddle the INFP/ENFP border.</p>

123

<p>INTJ right here. Seems like N and J are definitely strong in UChicago students. More Is than Es. Ts seem to outnumber the Fs. </p>

<p>Many more INTJ UChicago students than the average for a population. This probably helped the “Fun goes to die” rumor start.</p>

124

<p>I’m an INTJer as well. According to Wikipedia (so don’t hold me to this), INTJ is only about 1-4% of the population. We’re special!</p>

125

<p>What does ENFJ mean I am? UChicago is my number one dream school am I a fit?</p>

126

<p>I’m ENFP all the way. Hopefully there are more at Chicago.</p>

<p>Sent from my SPH-D710 using CC</p>

127

<p>ENFP here though I am very skeptical about this test. I don’t think people should use this extremely rudimentary test to decide if they’re a ‘fit’ for a university. Though it’s harmless for a bit of fun I suppose.</p>

128

<p>Usually INFJ, sometimes INTJ.</p>

129

<p>E 15 52 I
S 19 60 N
T 104 18 F
J 71 21 P
I’m an INTJ. However, it’s worth mentioning that the big five test is more accurate and respected among academics; viz.: <a href=“The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator: A popular but flawed way of understanding your personality - 80,000 Hours”>The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator: A popular but flawed way of understanding your personality - 80,000 Hours;

130

<p>INFJ, but close to an INTJ. Really depends on the version of the Myers Briggs test, imo</p>

131

<p>I wallow between ENTJ and INTJ depending on which online quiz I take.</p>

<p>Based on my experiences classmates filtered by the type of people who like to post on forums, I was expecting the vast majority of Uchicago to be INTJs. Glad to know we have some psychological diversity on here :)</p>

132

<p>INFJ!</p>

<p>Really hard for me to choose the last letter though:(</p>

133

<p>Strongly an INTJ</p>

134

<p>INTJ.</p>

<p>I recommend that all of you look up the model of Jungian functions; it explains the differences between MBTI types better than Myers and Briggs themselves.</p>

135

<p>am i the only ISTJ?</p>

136

<p>INFJ All the way :)</p>

137

<p>ENFJ here, with a really fine line between my F and T (I get a lot of my debater-qualities from the T and my scientist logic but I’m also prone to crying at movies and I empathize with people well). There seems to be a lot of I’s here, I wonder if that’s indicative of the school?</p>

138

<p>ISTP!!!</p>

<p>Although I will say I’m a prospective grad student. Good luck to all you undergrads!!!</p>

139

<p>Very, very INFP (which accounts for my low GPA… ha :/)</p>

140

<p>INTP, borderline INTJ, depending on the weather.</p>
