Same here.

I think mine had an F and a J in but I can't remember.

Damn. :twisted: That's what I figured.

I wonder how the results would compare if you based it on how you are online?

Wow! That was a great question! I tried the test again and framed every question in the context of Wrong Planet.

If they asked about places, I considered "WP threads".
If they asked about people, I thought about all the WP members.

Questions like "would you do all your chores before you relax?", I thought about whether I respond to PM messages before I play games and post music. "Do you get frustrated?" .... I took that as whether or not I post my frustration or just keep it to myself. It was a totally different questionnaire when considered only in the context of WP. I'm sure that's normal and it would be different for all of us, but here's what I got when thinking ONLY about WP behaviour:

Compared to my real-life INFP-T, it's really different!

I still don't get it. lol

The questions were too vague and could be interpreted multiple ways.

The scoring system was also too subjective.

I still have no idea what all these letters mean, or what it signifies.

I asked my ASD daughter if she's done this test. She said she got INFP just like me. Her therapist (who is also on the spectrum) apparently said that most autistic people get INFP according to her research and the people she has tested in her practice. Then something about the Judging - Prospecting category can go either way for autistic people because they both represent autistic qualities.

I still don't quite understand what any of it means.

What is Prospecting?


I see you also got the test done! I think the P stands for perceiving and it is how people process information. Do you simply take in new info without labeling it as good or bad, or thinking like "it should be like this instead" or do you simply process info as a neutral thing. Without making a statement or having an opinion about it.

That's how i understand it at least.

Sorry, my mistake, I meant ONLINE I'm ISFP-T.

Offline I'm INFJ I think (I know it had an F and a J).

The thing that made the difference for me was that on WP I'm more inclined to say something and I'm more inclined to join in with conversations and push my opinion forward than I am offline. Offline I'm just extremely shy and I blush when I talk so I tend to hold back but I feel like I'm the same person inside offline as I am online.

Also in real life I wouldn't go to an art gallery but on WP I do like to see other people's art work.

I think I'm also more interested in people online than I am offline.

I'm "very likely hfa" but feel Asperger fits better (still new to "it all" tho) and solidly INXP.

Online socialising has different rules than offline, but my ADHD makes offline socialising easier while my social anxiety makes online socialising easier.

Sometimes it's an effort to remember to message people back or to know the right things to say when someone is confiding in me. I prefer to physically be with friends, as I find it easier to talk and say the right things, or to express things better. I'm not the sort of woman to talk to my female friends online like they're my lovers, like putting "I love you so much, forever and ever" surrounded by lots of hearts, and expressing more love than you would to your boyfriend, but when I'm with them physically I do hug and express/offer better friendship love.

I find it very easy to "put myself out there" online and introduce myself to new people, handle conflicts, participate in group things (games and threads, etc.), all that stuff. In real life I heavily prefer to be by myself and I find meeting new people + engaging with multiple people to be anxiety inducing and exhausting, and I avoid conflict heavily. I think I'm a lot more authentically myself online because I have the time to process my interactions with people + don't have to deal with all the other input from interacting with people in real life. I can sometimes be myself offline, but that's very fleeting and I am left very depleted of energy + overwhelmed after doing so.

I’m always 100% I and strong J, but am close to the line on S/N and F/T and can come out on either side depending on my mood at the time.

Today I got… 100% I, 51% N, 68% F, 85% J, 85% T offline

90% I, 61% N, 71% F, 78% J, 83% T online

Didn’t really expect much of a change for me online vs offline. I’m more verbose and less timid online, but based on the questions wasn’t really expecting a big change. I think I was rating myself on internal thoughts and feelings, but the main difference between online and offline for me is how much I display those.
