So they give you this personality profile once you've completed the questionnaire, and these are the results I recieved for the "Agreeableness" section. It sounds very INTJ to me.

You are best decribed as:
CONSISTENTLY TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF

Words that describe you:
Uncompromising
Frank
Astute Critical
Empirical
Tough Discerning
Skeptical
Shrewd

A General Description of How You Interact with Others
When someone needs your help or wants you to do something you think before you act. See, at heart you believe deeply in personal freedom and individual responsibility. You think it is vital that people learn to take care of themselves so that they don't become dependent upon others. You believe that actions have consequences, and people need to accept the consequences of their actions if they are to learn from their mistakes and grow. You believe you wouldn't be doing anyone a favor if you lift someone out of trouble; they will never learn to lift themselves up if you keep rescuing them. And if you keep giving people a second, third or fourth chance, you have seen that people seldom develop the character they need to live decent and responsible lives.

You believe that compassion has a role to play in your life, in a structure of values that is encourages people to take care of themselves. Uncritical tenderheartedness does as much harm as good. You much prefer if people understand, in factual, empirical terms, how they got into trouble, and how they can lift themselves out of the mess they are in. In an emergency, of course, you're there to offer help and if someone has helped you out in the past there is no question about your loyalty. But whenever it is realistic, you are convinced people should take care of themselves.

Along with this you devote adequate time to taking care of your own needs and wants, in part because it makes you happy with your life and in part because that's what you truly believe every person should do. You cherish personal independence for yourself and others. Fostering such independence is the best way you find there is to love and care for others.

Negative Reactions Others May Have Toward You
Your emphasis on personal independence and personal responsibility may seem to lack in compassion to some people. Undoubtedly you have encountered people who feel this way toward you. And some may find you to be rather selfish. You do stay focused on your own life, take responsibility for your own problems, and are not always moved by situations in which some people think some action is required. That is part of you and your basic beliefs about life. And some people will inevitably want you to be different, but that is simply not who you are.

Positive Responses Others May Have Toward You
You're true to your beliefs and you hold yourself to the same expectations as you do with others. You are critical and tough with yourself, which gives you a consistency when you are critical and tough with others. And even when others don't agree with you, people are likely to admire your frankness. You say what you believe, even if what you believe runs counter to the motives and beliefs of others.

And you keep reminding people of two things that few people can argue with, even if they don't believe in them with your single-mindedness. Personal independence and personal responsibility matter to most people, and even the very compassionate admit that sometimes their hearts get in the way of what their heads know, which is to say that people should take care of themselves whenever they are able to do so. You remind people of this, in the honest way you live your own life and in the ways in which you respond, and don't respond, to other people

--Your thoughts?

Think I need to take this questionnaire.

Though I'm afraid of getting the exact same printout.

Everything there could've been said about me, think that attitude/philosophy described there is pretty cool, true, right.

So yes, I think the part you pasted does sound very INTJ.

[wittykitty]

Hah! Stratego that's verbatim to what mine says. Now what's your curious or contented profile?

[Synamon]

Sounds like about half the personality type profiles to me.

Likewise, a duplicate of mine.

[2obvious]

Swell, add a third to the list.

(Clearly, this test is somehow derived from MBTI.)

[Nemesis]

Fourth here. Too funny.

[Hwangdda]

Got the same thing too. Also, they weren't able to find a match for me according to the results. According to them, I'm not compatible with anyone.

Wasted nearly an hour for them to tell me something I already knew.

I got that answer the first time I took the survey, so I took it a second time and modified some of my answers a bit just to get a profile. Not sure if that was a good thing to do.

But it makes me wonder. When I got the "some people we can't match" message, I was like, uh huh, is that because I'm INTJ?

[reb]

lol! nobody read 'the Cult of Personality'! the position in the book is that mbti is ALL OVER THE PLACE now. employers are using it to pick employees, government is using it for various purposes. eharmony is using it? lol! how funny. i bet you have better luck here on the forum Stratego.

next thing you know, it will be politically incorrect to be certain types. hide 'n watch.

[mmm7789]

I have a problem with the websites that continue to ask questions after one of the answers disqualifies a prospective recruit. If my being "separated" instead of "divorced" is enough to disqualify me, why did I have to fill out six more pages of questions before that was mentioned? More datamining, anyone?

[integratedvelocity]

Yup, that's what I got, too. So, if we all have low agreeableness, why doesn't it try to match us with each other?

I don't think it's Myers-Briggs, though. Check out

on Wikipedia. There is a Facebook app that equates the Big Five with Myers-Briggs, so there is probably a connection.

[reb]

hmmmm....the possibility exists that all y'all are like me...too grouchy to match up with ANYONE. which means, ehominy is takin' yer money....fer nothin', and the chicks fer free...

it is best for 'low agreeable' people to wear hair shirts, sackcloth and ashes, usually. that way they are recognizable....

A General Description of How You Approach New Information and Experiences

You think like an artist. Or better, you SEE like an artist. While most people look at life's straight lines, its height and depth and width, you're bending the lines with your imagination and turning black and white into shades of blue and yellow. And in conversations at work or with your friends you want to ask, "Do you see what I see?" A few might, most don't, but you've piqued everyone's curiosity with your own original and inventive ways of thinking.

You can, if you must, think in conventional ways. But left on your own, you'll usually opt for the eccentric or avant-garde; in fact you're usually bored with what everyone else is comfortable with. You learn from reading, talking, watching people and other fauna and flora, and simply sitting in the soft chair of your mind and wondering how people would learn how to count if they could only use uneven numbers. You are out in front of conventional ideas, bravely originally defining true and false, right and wrong, the good, the bad and the ugly.



Negative Reactions Others May Have Toward Your Style of Thinking

You drive through life faster than the speed limit, and when you hit speed bumps, and you hit a lot of them with your mind distracted from the straight line ahead your wheels leave the ground.

For people who like life at a safer speed, you move too fast and lose touch too often with the solid ground they prefer, hence their discomfort with you. As odd as you might find this, many people feel safe in the shelter of the world they already know. They like the familiar. They breathe easily and sleep deeply knowing with more certainty how the world works. So although they might enjoy your company and be curious about your latest notion of how to count backwards by threes, they can only take you in small doses. And they wish you'd quit trying to push the boundaries of their personal and social cosmos.



Positive Responses Others May Have Toward You

Even those whom you make uncomfortable know, as just about everyone does, that you're not a flake. You think well, and even your wildest fancies have their roots in the deep soil of sound ideas and tested beliefs. So even if some people don't want to drive at high speed with you, they will respect you for your courage as an innovative and unconventional thinker. You lend color and imagination to what would otherwise be the straight black and white lines of their work world and social environments.

A few more daring people of your circle might even learn from you to take a risk they would otherwise never consider. As comfortable as they are on solid ground, they may be curious about what it would be like to go faster than the speed limit, or paint the living room two shades of blue, or question ideas or beliefs they've fingered like sacred beads since they were children.

After all, they watch you do it, and you seem no worse for the risks you take. In fact, your eyes are wider and your breath quicker, and maybe they can find at least a bit of this for themselves. To be certain, they don't want their wheels to leave the ground, but maybe the next time they approach a speed bump they might just brace themselves and speed up just a little bit.

I took the eharmony test twice. The first time they said I was emotional, the second time they said I was very emotional. I was described as someone whose emotions tend to spill out etc... I retook the test because I tend to be guarded with emotional displays and apply logic more than emotion to my decision making. The rest of the stuff seemed correct, but that aspect of my personality couldn't have been more wrong.

If you feel that they mistyped you, I would not use that service. If they mistype you then it would be reasonable to assume that they would mismatch you.
