I think that part of bp is based on personality types and I want to see if im right. Will ya'll please do this for me and post your results....I would soooo appreciate it.

Go to http://similarminds.com/personality_tests.html and take the Jung's personality test and post what four letter personality type you are.

If you are interested, this next site gives you a lot of detailed information about each type..pick an icon at the top and scroll down to the bottom and click on your type and it brings up a page specifically dedicated to that topic and your type.

The website for that is www.personalitypage.com

This is one of my favorite parts of social psychology and I am interested to see if it works out. I initially thought of it because I did mine and I am an INTJ and it turns out only 2.9% of the population has this same personality type, and since the figures for bp are relatively similar, it makes me wonder if personality has something to do with it.

For ya'll that are thinking this is some hokey kid crap, its not. Carl Jung, the guy who is credited with alot of this is a pyschologist and it is something I learned in my social psych class and its proven that this is pretty accurate and your personality type stays pretty stable throughout your lifetime.

Thanks in advance

http://similarminds.com/personality_tests.html if you go to this page you should see two columns of links...look in the right hand column, second set down it says "Jung Tests I-E S-N F-T J-P**" and gives you 4 tests to choose from, I personally like the "Jung-Enneagram Test, because it gives you another personality variable with the Enneagram, but its really long so if you want to do a different one then thats fine with me. If you do decide to do the Ennegram you can post that too if you want. I am a 5. :)

Thanks alot

I chose: Jung Tests I-E S-N F-T J-P** (info)
the Short Test

My results:
Introverted (I) 73.33% Extroverted (E) 26.67%
Sensing (S) 64.71% Intuitive (N) 35.29%
Thinking (T) 57.58% Feeling (F) 42.42%
Perceiving (P) 60% Judging (J) 40%

Your type is:
ISTP

I have taken this test at least 3 different times in my life and gotten three different results. I think my BP episode at the time the test is taken is a big influence on the results.

I agree. I take my personality in general and use that to base my answers on, and I get the same result everytime. I never use my manic or depressed thoughts or feelings because thats because thats not "me".
