What sort of nutter are you?

[BOD]

If you were to do a full MBTI there are some 90+ questions and the result would be a lot clearer. There is redundancy and the fence sitters would come down on one side or the other.

MBTI is a forced choice questionaire so you must choose.

However only some personality types (like me) have an issue with the forced choosing. Most do not.

What is clear from the results so far is that bushcraft attracts some personalities more than others.

You could refine it further and profile the respondents further - armchair bushcrafters, the 'crafty' bushcrafter, the 'bushy' bushcrafter, the survivalist and the kit collectors.

By then the men in white will have descended on the site and carted us all off to the nut house (or whatever politically correct term is used nowadays)

i'm the only ENFJ ....is this good or bad

 

[gregorach]

Well, I'm normally uber-skeptical when it comes to psychometrics (or "phrenology for the 21st century" as I like to call it) but we do have an interesting bias showing up here towards I*TP... But that's perhaps not entirely suprising given the way the questions are phrased.

 

[oldsoldier]

Interesting...I am ISTP, the second most chosen. Wierd, huh?

 

[hammock monkey]

intj - just me and the mad ruskie then!?
(think that might be bad news for you MR!)

although having read through a few of the descriptions i am 'intuitivley sensing' a slight smell of bovine dung...?

 

[Womble]

ISFP, and the description seems to fit with how others tend to describe me.

 

[torjusg]

INTP here. I guess it means that I'm structured in mind, but not in action...

 

[rich59]

Certainly a lot of INTPs here it seems. Considering that INTPs are thought to make up only about 1% of the general population that is quite remarkable. I think ISTPs might make about 3-4%.

Then again if you read some of the descriptions of an INTP then you can see why bushcraft might attract us.


I also note a general bias for the introvert as well.

The poll findings therefore aren't really surprising, but it is intesting to see how strong the bias is against the average personality types.

I'm an INTP too, but perhaps the poll tells us more about the kind of people who use the net, to discuss/read about bushcraft and then want to take part in polls

 

[Matt Weir]

ISTP for me also.

 

[madrussian]

You know what they say HM, great minds think alike. But then again that may also mean that both of us are mad.

 

[Mike Ameling]

ISTJ

But then, I only do what the Voices in my head tell me!

And you're jelous because the Voices only talk to ME!


And I learned not to talk back to the Voices, because then we start arguing, harsh words end up being said, and then we won't talk to each other for a long time. And the Voices never apologize first, I have to!

Mike Ameling - off to do some woods running therapy

 

[sandspec]

Eeek ENTP !! methinks this is not good...LOL uppy_dog

 

[Jodie]

I'm with Gregorach... http://skepdic.com/myersb.html

There needs to be a 'bah humbug' option for curmudgeonly
skeptics like me

 

[Dunelm]

I tend to treat these sort of tests with the same scepticism reserved for ouija boards and tea-leaf readings.

For what it's worth I'm an INTP - as are most people who have voted.

So what does this mean?

 

[madrussian]

It means that you and 23 other people all think alike. Scary thought isn't it.

 

[Klenchblaize]

So long as I have need of grant of and FAC (Fire Arms Certificate) I shall refrain from speculation if you don't mind!

Cheers

I see the ISTJs are up and coming. My wife is an ISTJ and does enjoy the outdoors (or did until health reasons made it too difficult.)

 

[stovie]

ISTP

Detached pragmatist....

Personally I prefer to sit back and wait for the opportune moment...

 

[BorderReiver]

INFP but the choices are too restricted.Needed to pick from both sides to get an accurate result.

Still it's only a game,so no problem.
