Hello everyone.
I'm curious to see if there is any correlation between myer-briggs types and an interest in NBE. Does anyone have any comments on a relation between having GID and being more inclined to have a particular personality type?
Since there are 16 types and I can only post ten options per poll, I'm creating a poll for the introverts and another for the extroverts. This one obviously is for the introverts.

I responded with INTJ based upon a test I took years ago. I have taken the test linked in the other thread, twice, and apparently I am now INFJ.
In the intervening time between the first test and the more recent ones, a lot has changed in my life. A fair amount of loss, an awakening about gender issues, and NBE, among other things. What factors do you think could influence personality scoring over time?

Spanky,
I think major life events and simply the passage of time could influence your personality scoring. My scoring has been consistent. I've been an ISTJ before NBE and continue to be even now after the brain rewiring and a greater expansion of my gender expression.

Great poll, Flame. I was measured as INTJ several years ago. I don't believe that one's personality changes throughout their life. It's hardwired at birth. However, we do learn to compensate for personality traits that we don't like (e.g. shyness), and the Myers-Briggs test, like any, is not 100% accurate, so it could produce inconsistent results.

Years ago I was consistently INFP, for the last few years its always INTJ
Looks like I have company here as INTJ is the majority....

Unless one takes the actual MBTI, which costs money, most of the online free versions are subsets of the real test and give less accurate results. I usually test as an ISTJ, but sometimes I come out as an ISTP or even an ISFJ. I think one's mood at the time of the test can influence those areas where a person is on the border. E.g., I have read that most people are very close to the middle on J/P so it makes sense to me that some of the tests come out ISTJ and some as ISTP. It is actually very difficult to change any of personality traits represented by those letters, and I was in a seminar where we were told this is actually how we react when stressed. When not stressed, we can appear to be any of the 16 types.
