MEME: The Jung Explorer Test Revisited

On the 5th December 2006 I sat A Jung Explorer personality test. Probably due to Office Boredom, or some other important reason, I will not go into since I’ve slept since then. many many many times, and I cant actually remember… But that’s a different story.

Anyway. I sat the test and my results were :-

I am: INTJ (Mastermind)

I want to be: INTP (Architect)

I’m attracted to: ENTP (Inventor)

Taking a minute out of my busy day today. (I was woken by a work based phone call at 7am, and been working since then) I decided to revisit that test, 4 years on. My results this time were.

I am: INTP (Architect)

I want to be: INTJ (Mastermind)

I’m attracted to: ENTP (Inventor)

Very similar, In fact the only difference is that I am now what I used to want to be, and I now want to be what I was. “Wow… thats like so deep ……………man” either that or I am right on the borderline between INTP/J that it depends which way the winds blowing as to which one i’ll end up being.

Descriptions for those of you interested in such things.

INTP – “Architect”. Greatest precision in thought and language. Can readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. The world exists primarily to be understood. 3.3% of total population.

INTJ – “Mastermind”. Introverted intellectual with a preference for finding certainty. A builder of systems and the applier of theoretical models. 2.1% of total population.

ENTP – “Inventor”. Enthusiastic interest in everything and always sensitive to possibilities. Non-conformist and innovative. 3.2% of the total population.

There is Just one thing confusing me. According to this test I am attracted to “Inventors” which I am reading as Intelligent women, Geeks if you will. So why is it that 100% of the girls I have dated in my life are airheads ??

The Quest for the Mythological Creature.

From the dawn of time Man has quested to hunt out Mythological Creatures.  How much money and man-hours have been spent investigating loch ness for the monster? How many People have walked the American woods looking for big foot?  Its our natural instinct to try and find the truth in such myths.  So, to do my bit for the advancement of human knowledge, I decided to spend some time this weekend attempting to find out some more information on a “mythological Creature.”

Which Creature are you hunting?” I hear you ask, “Vampires? Werewolves? Big Foot? Teggie?

NOTE: Teggie if you want to know is a sea monster a bit like the Loch Ness monster but from Bala Lake.

Nope. The Mythological Creature I am trying to prove if they exist or not is….. *insert drum roll*…. “Intelligent Women”  Yes, those things we have all heard about, and know a friend of a friend who may have met one once.  Women who are intelligent and witty.

So. How did I do my research? Well I signed up for an online dating website. I will not name which one of the major UK ones I used since they may be a bit upset that i used their site for something other than they had designed it for. I will say its one of those that ask you loads of questions about yourself, and what you like in a partner, so it can match people by personality and likes.  To be fair I set “no preference” to all subjects like distance, if they have kids, religion, race, everything. The only things i stated were important were, Intelligence, Sense of Humor, Personality.

So, I filled in all the details. submitted it, and waited while their servers calculated the details, and searched a database of UK people trying to match anyone based on my requests.  After a while the results came in.

NO MATCHES FOUND

So there you have it, One of the largest online dating sites in the UK (If not the world) with a reputed 60% female membership has 0 women who met the standards set.  So far its not looking good for finding evidence of these creatures.

I will keep you informed of any more evidence found one way or another on this subject.
