Yeah, they do make it sound a bit flaky. I've never saw it as necessarily mystical either. But, stuff like that has happened to me before; it just didn't seem "magical" or anything.

You've gotta be truuuuueeeee to yourself. We are having our bi-hourly meeting of extroverts in a couple of minutes, and you are more than welcome to come along. It's an hour and a half filled with excessive talking, talking over each other, and lots of physical contact. You'll love it. The half hour between meetings is killer, but that's what the internet was made for, non-stop interaction with other people.

Summary Analysis of Profile
By focusing on the strongest configuration of cognitive processes, your pattern of responses most closely matches individuals of this type: INFJ
Lead (Dominant) Process
Introverted Intuiting (Ni): Transforming with a meta-perspective. Withdrawing from the world and focusing your mind to receive an insight or realization. Checking if synergy results. Trying out a realization to transform things.
Support (Auxilliary) Process
Extraverted Feeling (Fe): Building trust through giving relationships. Empathically responding to others' needs and take on their needs and values as your own. Checking for respect and trust. Giving and receiving support to grow closer to people.
If these cognitive processes don't fit well then consider these types: ENFJ, or INTJ

Seriously?
I'm determined to get through this test anyway.
Edit:
Another one! Seriously, fuck off with these mumbo jumbo questions.
Edit2:
Bwahahahahaha!
No.
There is no way in any universe that I'm an E.

There have been a few times in my life where I've experienced this and I'm not even Ni dominant, nothing untoward about it as long as the "profound realisation" they're referring to involves noticing the underlying relationship(s) between different things.
I'm kinda with you on this one. The "meaningful coincidences" part could be Ni (because, like I said before, it looks for the underlying relationships between things, even if it has to invent them), but IMO the first bit doesn't have anything to do with any of the functions.

To me it seems that they could put it in a logical way which would at least be easy to understand (for me at least). Yet instead they use words such as "mystical" and "magical".
In my opinion there is no such thing and all 3 Ni dominant type people I know (two INFJ's, one INTJ) will agree with me.
I should feel like I'm taking a psychology test, not having a tarot reading. The MBTI ones get away with making sense to me, why not this one?
Is there any other cognitive functions tests out there that work?

Yeah, I agree with you there. According to this test my Ni use has dropped off dramatically over the last couple of years, which seemed strange to me because if anything I feel like I'm using it a little more these days than I used to. Then I realised it's not really my Ni use that's changed, it's my understanding of Ni itself. The descriptions of Ni on that test just don't jive with the way I currently understand Ni to work.
I suspect the person who wrote the test didn't really understand Ni. It can seem to pull strange answers out of nowhere, and sometimes those answers are hard to put into everyday words and so tend to get expressed symbolically. So if you don't know what's going on "behind the curtain", Ni can seem like a pretty strange function.
I think that depends on what's meant by "mystical" and "magical". I tend to interpret mystical to mean spiritual or meditative frames of mind, rather than any external force. And the same sort of thing goes for magical, I mean you can have a "magical" moment with your SO sitting on a park bench on a lazy summer's evening, but that doesn't mean that anything "inexplicable" happened or that anybody started pulling rabbits out of hats.
If you approach it that way the test tends to make a little more sense, in my experience, but it could still do with a pretty significant rewrite.
Nope. :lol:
Ive been questioning if im an infj or an infp. Nice to have this test to give me a little indication of which functions i use most.
Even thou they have some pretty wierd questions that is hard to fully understand, they have some pretty neat accuracy in defining type (80 % according to themselves).

The last time I took this test I got an ISFJ result, but it seems today I've got INFJ. I think my results fluctuate heavily based on my moods and what's going on in my life. Today I'm feeling pretty neutral. Some of the percentages stayed almost the same and some are completely different. It's interesting to see the changes.
