Now I feel like taking more pointless online quizzes.

You got: You’re the evil mastermind villain!
You’re the embodiment of the “crazy scientist” stereotype. You were probably quiet and studious in school and now your hard work is paying off as you spend your days in your underground laboratory. You’re not the type of villain who wants to hurt people, but want to bring down society as a whole to create a perfect utopia.

It's like they know me!

You got: You’re the cool villain!

It’s all just fun and games for you. A natural crowd pleaser, you’re the type of villain people want to root for. You use your high energy and suave looks to charm and manipulate your way out of any sticky situation. You probably have a catchprase and wear sunglasses indoors, but your carefree attitude might make you the most dangerous of all.

Defender Personality (ISFJ, -A/-T)

Love only grows by sharing. You can only have more for yourself by giving it away to others.
Brian Tracy

The Defender personality type is quite unique, as many of their qualities defy the definition of their individual traits. Though sensitive, Defenders have excellent analytical abilities; though reserved, they have well-developed people skills and robust social relationships; and though they are generally a conservative type, Defenders are often receptive to change and new ideas. As with so many things, people with the Defender personality type are more than the sum of their parts, and it is the way they use these strengths that defines who they are.
Defenders are true altruists, meeting kindness with kindness-in-excess and engaging the work and people they believe in with enthusiasm and generosity.

There’s hardly a better type to make up such a large proportion of the population, nearly 13%. Combining the best of tradition and the desire to do good, Defenders are found in lines of work with a sense of history behind them, such as medicine, academics and charitable social work.
Defender (ISFJ) personality

Defender personalities (especially Turbulent ones) are often meticulous to the point of perfectionism, and though they procrastinate, they can always be relied on to get the job done on time. Defenders take their responsibilities personally, consistently going above and beyond, doing everything they can to exceed expectations and delight others, at work and at home.
We Must Be Seen to Be Believed

The challenge for Defenders is ensuring that what they do is noticed. They have a tendency to underplay their accomplishments, and while their kindness is often respected, more cynical and selfish people are likely to take advantage of Defenders’ dedication and humbleness by pushing work onto them and then taking the credit. Defenders need to know when to say no and stand up for themselves if they are to maintain their confidence and enthusiasm.

Naturally social, an odd quality for Introverts, Defenders utilize excellent memories not to retain data and trivia, but to remember people, and details about their lives. When it comes to gift-giving, Defenders have no equal, using their imagination and natural sensitivity to express their generosity in ways that touch the hearts of their recipients. While this is certainly true of their coworkers, whom people with the Defender personality type often consider their personal friends, it is in family that their expressions of affection fully bloom.
If I Can Protect You, I Will

Defender personalities are a wonderful group, rarely sitting idle while a worthy cause remains unfinished. Defenders’ ability to connect with others on an intimate level is unrivaled among Introverts, and the joy they experience in using those connections to maintain a supportive, happy family is a gift for everyone involved. They may never be truly comfortable in the spotlight, and may feel guilty taking due credit for team efforts, but if they can ensure that their efforts are recognized, Defenders are likely to feel a level of satisfaction in what they do that many other personality types can only dream of.

You got: You’re the hero-turned-villain!

Your past acts of heroism led you to believe the world is a scarier place than you once thought. You are creative and strange, and an exceptional fighter. You probably have one or two people working alongside you but do most of the plotting in the solitude of your home. You might be considered a vigilante, but you really don’t believe in such things.

coll tests. thank you.

when I get INFP I usually believe the test is confusing my ideal of feelings being important with my actual behavior which is much more analytic and intellectual than feel-y. like yeah i think feelings are really important as far as not hurting other people's feelings, but i don't so much use my feelings to make decisions. or if i do, it has a logical basis. like yeah i could do nursing and help people and make good money that way, but i'd always feel like i took an easier path and didn't go for what i really want. is that being guided by my feelings? I guess, but I just don't want to feel regret and I know the logical way to avoid that is to not settle for something less than what I really want to do. so i guess that is using my feelings to decide but i don't see it that way usually

I've also wondered about the disconnect between our actual selves and the mental ideals we have in our heads and how the typology cannot account for that.

The J/P dichotomy is specifically about how you extravert though, which is interesting to me. You can be a very archetypal, organized, judgemental thinker, but if that isn't the side of you that comes out when you interact with the outside world, you're a P.

And that, my friends, is why they call it the Myers-Breeg test.
