Remembering the great Maurizio Pollini
Legendary pianist Maurizio Pollini defined modern piano playing through a combination of virtuosity of the highest degree, a complete sense of musical purpose and commitment that works in complete control of the virtuosity. His passing was announced by Milan’s La Scala opera house on March 23. Read more >>

Personality Test - Which one are you???
on: July 20, 2005, 07:10:48 PM
The free online test is here:
https://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes1.htm

Which of the 16 "types" are you?  I wonder if musicians/pianists tend to gravitate into a particular type...

Here's more info on each of the "types"

INTJ

I always knew I was well in the intuitive introverted quadrant since reading Jung years ago. It came as a surprise that I am very judging and only 12% thinking though. I shall have to ask people if I come across like that. I would have tended to say I was strongly thinking and only very mildly judging.

I am only 11% extroverted. 75% intuitive and thinking, and 67% judging.  It is interesting. I wonder if you could get a "you are a sociopath" rating? that would be unfortunate.

Which people are like you? Other ENTJ's listed were Jim Carrey, Benny Goodmen and Richard Nixon. I am in strange company.

I am also an INTP

Another "Thinker."  I was beginning to think I was all alone. ;)

Our company uses this testing.  The idea isn't so much to channel people into a certain stereotype, but rather it is to, hopefully, allow people to develop the understanding that there are many types of people out there and many ways to interpret and/or deal with situations.  By understanding these differences you can often times eliminate a great deal of conflict.  Is it a panacea?  Hardly, it's just helps people be more aware.

I'm a ISFJ.  The first paragraph in the explanation was way left field, but the rest was pretty dead on.  There's a few things where I was like, "er, not really."  But mostly that's me.  I only read the second definition at the top of the page though.

Must be a girl thing because Tash and Mozartian are the same.

INFP, the Healer.

https://keirsey.com/personality/nfip.html

I've taken this test many many times before, and the result has always been INFJ, the Counselor, which I find even more accurate than the Healer. I guess my answers were a little shaky today. Had an exceptional weekend just now.

"The Portrait of the Counselor Idealist (INFJ)"...lol

Well raffyplayspiano, Skepto, Steinwayguy, teresa_b, ako and teddybear i am INFJ too.

Introverted - 56
Intuitive - 12
Feeling - 50
Judging - 44

Sounds about right i think especially:

"[INFJ] are, in fact, sometimes mistaken for extroverts because they appear so outgoing and are so genuinely interested in people -- a product of the Feeling function they most readily show to the world. On the contrary, INFJs are true introverts, who can only be emotionally intimate and fulfilled with a chosen few from among their long-term friends, family, or obvious "soul mates." "
"Mozart makes you believe in God - it cannot be by chance that such a phenomenon arrives into this world and then passes after 36 yrs, leaving behind such an unbounded no. of unparalled masterpieces"
