I'm an intp with a very strong f that probably keeps me motivated. SC is mostly about messing around with builds to me though, and the best race for doing that is protoss to me - I'm guessing intp more frequently play protoss because of the way in which pvp works.

These kinds of tests are somewhat accurate but too deterministic in their design. They are based on Eysencks personality traits and The Big Five. Social psychology on the other hand says that people have many different roles in different situations and that these kinds of tests don't give an accurate description of a person.
There is some bias with these kinds of tests too: First of all a person might answer the test in a way that doesn't really correlate with his personality. He/she might feel that being outgoing is more fun or cool than being introverted and consciously or subconsciously answers in a specific way in order to get a wanted result. Second of all, you might get different results depending on how you feel at the time you're doing the test and how connected you feel to different parts of your life.
Nevertheless it's an interesting test, but don't take it for 100% truth.

Wiki on my type (thought it would be better than to post percentages):
The polite, reserved exterior of INFPs can at first make them difficult to get to know. They enjoy conversation, however, taking particular delight in the unusual. When INFPs are in a sociable mood, their humor and charm shine through. Disposed to like people and to avoid conflict, INFPs tend to make pleasant company.
Devoted to those in their inner circle, INFPs guard the emotional well-being of others, consoling those in distress. Guided by their desire for harmony, INFPs prefer to be flexible unless their ethics are violated. Then, they become passionate advocates for their beliefs. They are often able to sway the opinions of others through tact, diplomacy, and an ability to see varying sides of an issue.
INFPs develop these insights through reflection, and they require substantial time alone to ponder and process new information. While they can be quite patient with complex material, they are generally bored by routine. Though not always organized, INFPs are meticulous about things they value. Perfectionists, they may have trouble completing a task because it cannot meet their high standards. They may even go back to a completed project after the deadline so they can improve it.
INFPs are creative types and often have a gift for language. As introverts, they may prefer to express themselves through writing. Their dominant Feeling drives their desire to communicate, while their auxiliary intuition supplies the imagination. Having a talent for symbolism, they enjoy metaphors and similes. They continually seek new ideas and adapt well to change. They prefer working in an environment that values these gifts and allows them to make a positive difference in the world, according to their personal beliefs.

I agree, it's not to be 100% accepted, but it's not based on the Big Five at all. This test was based on Jung's work. Indeed, as you say, the Big Five and the Myer-Briggs are incompatible (this test has categories, Big Five is basically a combination of five separate scales where you can be)

INTP - Architect.
Only 11% in P, but the others were all above 50.

Actually you're right. It was over a year ago I took basic psychology =) I mix these things up. Yeah it's based on Jungs work with archetypes and what not.
But they are not incompatible per se, since both are based on somewhat similar personality traits but I know what you mean.
Openness
Conscentiousness
Extraversion
Agreeableness
Neuroticism
are basically the underlying traits in regard to many of these questions too.

I'm an INTP and this perfectly explains why I was never great at this game. I played it quite a bit back in 2002/2003, but I always had more fun trying to win with innovative strategies rather than working hard at mastering the ones that were known to be better.
Someone should find out if there is a correlation between personality traits and what race they play. Big 5 is probably better for doing such a statistical analysis, especially since the vast majority of us seem to fall into a few specific categories.

:O I am the only ESTP so far. Perhaps this is why I take a long time to improve in starcraft - I get distracted way too easily.
edit: Hmm I just took this quiz and it told me that I am ESFP... another oddity it would seem on these forums. I suppose that every version of this test is different.
|
This thing is just as stupid as every other internet quiz; especially when it is a short version. I know its been used for tons of things. I still think its a piece of shit.
Classifying yourself and others is a waste of time. The whole reasons human can exist as they do today is because of how we can adapt to work together regardless of personality type.

INTJ ... Same as last time
Distinctively expressed introvert
Distinctively expressed intuitive personality
Moderately expressed thinking personality
Distinctively expressed judging personality
Edit: from wikipedia about INTJs:
Perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that INTJs really want people to make sense.
Well, they should! >_<
