Some of this fits, but much of it doesn't; e.g., I am NOT leadership material.​
 
poll added :)
 
I got

CS - 18
AS - 21
AR - 26
CR - 28

I guess that I'm totally random :p

Btw, this quiz is good.

poll added :)

It would have been better with multi-select, given my response before the poll was added, IMO.


cheers,

Ah ok I understand this for myself now. I want my external world to be CS, and I make that my top priority. However my internal thought process are not like this at all. I just have myself wired to have output come out as CS, even though it doesn't begin like that at all.
 
CS - Concrete Sequential = 30
AS - Abstract Sequential = 26
CR - Concrete Random = 22
AR - Abstract Random = 20

This makes sense, but the description of CS is not really me, in some ways it is, but not really. It sounds like a description of Si because of all the "5 senses" stuff. But, I'm very based in that thought process, kinda. It's a bit tricky to explain.

Eh, yeah ok CS is me for sure.

Wow opposites..to me this supports the idea that INFJ-INFP's have complete different thought process based on cognitive functions.
 
Yea INFJs and INFPs can seem pretty alike but actually they're totally different

CR - 38
AS - 28
AR - 20
CS - 13

the 4-3-2-1 concept sucks though
