	Isn't it extrovert? I've definitely seen it written like that.

	@MisterSquishy: a dictionary can't tell you that you should have used "accepted" But the common spelling is "extrovert" so it would be great if we could accept that

	Aren't the Myers-Briggs "types" actually the 16 combinations of these 4 qualities? Such as INTP=Architect, INTJ=Mastermind, etc.

	maniacalclown:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 09:21 GMT	8 points
	Based on the information on the source website, it should accept "Intuition."

	Damn, I just had a Psych test on this last week and couldn't remember any of them

	LRats:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 10:47 GMT	-3 points
	Aww Man, I put Judgment, sense, intuition, and perception! I didn't think to change the suffixes...I was jipped!

	Oh Myers-Briggs. I thought I had left this behind in all my stupid Business school "personality exams".

	chikka2:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 17:02 GMT	-2 points
	The resistance to MBTI is a bit surprising given its widespread use in the business world.Anyhow, nice quickie quiz

	bostoncane:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 17:04 GMT	6 points
	surprised there was so much time...

	Trekker:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 17:58 GMT	2 points
	I've been ISTJ for over 30 years. No changes.

	kcap1:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 18:17 GMT	2 points
	@Trekker: I guess we're polar opposite since I was ENFP both times I took it, and it's weird because my mom, my sister, and one of my best friends were all ENFP when we all took it on separate occasions.

	WHAT????????

	caligal14:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 18:55 GMT	-1 points
	When I learned this we learned them like 'intuitor' as in someone who is intuative. Well, that just failed me in this quiz

	springmom:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 19:05 GMT	1 point
	Taken it at least 2 times, during grad school as part of a counseling class. ENFP...although I can be INFP, too.

	1. The Myers-Briggs type is extravert, not extrovert. Look at the literature: it'a all the same. 2. Just change the suffixes! You have three minutes, after all. 3. Intuitive begins with an N because I was already taken by Introvert. PS: really? three minutes? way too long.

	marpocky:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 20:28 GMT	6 points
	@Ads: Except that your Myers-Briggs type is assessed based on the personality you ACTUALLY HAVE, not something arbitrary like the month you were born.

	gracie:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 21:10 GMT	4 points
	I'm an INTJ who forgot what the N stands for. oops.

	MamaJoan:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 21:43 GMT	2 points

	thank you college and abnormal psychology for me learning that

	Secret_Asian_Man:	Sep 27th, 2009 at 06:53 GMT	2 points
	INTJs for the win.

	thefinestmuffins:	Sep 27th, 2009 at 07:53 GMT	0 points
	I was always taught it was "intuitor" and "sensate." I figured out "intuitive" but could not for the life of me figure out what you wanted for the S-- even after googling (I hereby apologize for cheating...but I KNEW the answer!) PLEASE accept "sensate." Sincerely, INFJ in Ohio

	thefinestmuffins:	Sep 27th, 2009 at 07:57 GMT	2 points
	Also, the English major in me wants part-of-speech symmetry for the visible answers with that I/S pair-- either "intuitor" and "sensate" (nouns) or "intuiting" and "sensing" (verbs) or "intuitive" and "??" (adjectives). Not one adjective and one verb. Of course, all versions of the words should be accepted. But does that asymmetry both anyone else? No? I should get a life? Okay.

	stephenbeck:	Sep 27th, 2009 at 08:25 GMT	2 points
	thefinestmuffins: Did your english classes not tell you that "sensing" can function either as a gerund or a participle, the latter of which is a verbal adjective? Granted, a verbal adjective and a 'regular' adjective are quite different, but their basic function in a sentence is nevertheless. The words in the Myers-Briggs test were probably chosen based on their simplicity not their exact symmetry, but clearly you already knew this.

	Wilford_Brimley:	Sep 27th, 2009 at 08:29 GMT	6 points
	It's not very intuitive that N stands for intuitive.

	shyn12:	Sep 27th, 2009 at 21:58 GMT	1 point
	I learned it as FeelER, ThinkER, etc. The form of the words are aggravating.

	@ Chikka: Maybe the widespread use of the MBTI test in the business world is surprising given the resistance to the test.

	rockon455:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 05:24 GMT	1 point
	I love taking the Myers-Briggs personality test every so often. I usually get IJTP.

	Esme:	Oct 31st, 2009 at 12:06 GMT	1 point
	To everyone who thinks "Extravert" is spelled incorrectly -- it's not. In Jungian theory, even Jungian theory discussed by non-Jungians, it's always spelled with an "a" because that was his intention. When Myers and Briggs created the MBTI based on his theory (and adding in some of their own), they followed that tradition. On a quite related note, this test should be updated to reflect the official terms: Introverting, Extraverting, and Intuiting should go with the other -ings.
