This test sucks, but I took it anyway.
My personality type: the groundbreaking thinker. Take the free iPersonic personality test!

Am I the only one who thinks it's counterintuive to be forced to choose between thinking and feeling?

Curious thing about me and personality tests, especially the Jungian one: I almost never get the same result twice, unless it's so simple as to be 4 questions or something.

And why do we act like it's legitimate because it's Jungian?

[info]starless_watch and [info]paperclipchains's theory of AMV relativity: The more sexist a song is, the more likely it is to become over-used for AMVs. See: Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" and "Sk8er Boi," any version of "Holding out for a Hero," and Paramore's "Misery Business."

I don't place a high faith in it being legitimate, I just answered the questions and evaluated the results.

I've taken other Jungian tests, and had people put great faith in them to the point where it kind of irked me.

And I didn't like choosing between thinking and feeling either. I chose thinking, but just barely.

I struggled on that one as well as on introvert/extrovert. Settled for being an extroverted homebody.

I'm, apparently, a Dreamy Idealist. Huh.

Somehow, the options sounded really similar.

How about that song with the line "where have all the cowboys gone?" where she sings lines like "I'll go do the dishes, while you go have a beer" and "oh, I know your back hurts from working on the tractor, how do you take your coffee my sweet?"

I hate that song so much...

Noooo, you're not. Every time I take one of these damn things, I find myself going, "What the hell, I'm kind of 50/50. D:...."

Oh yeah, the test above is basically a very brief version of the Myers-Briggs type indicator. Here's some more info:
