BJD dolls/their owners -- personality types based on the Myers-Briggs (MBTI) tests

Jun 19, 2014

    1. So here lately I have been obsessed with the Myer Briggs Personality type test. It got me thinking.....is one type of personality prone to becoming BJD owners? What kind of people do we have in the hobby?

      Sooooo if you do not mind spending a couple of minutes taking this test, please take it and let me know what MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator) you are.

      Here is the Test: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp

      I would add a poll, but there are 16 types and the polls only allow 10 options.

      The 16 types are:

      • ISTJ
      • ISFJ
      • INFJ
      • INTJ
      • ISTP
      • ISFP
      • INFP
      • INTP
      • ESTP
      • ESFP
      • ENFP
      • ENTP
      • ESTJ
      • ESFJ
      • ENFJ
      • ENTJ

      Here is some more info on MBTI types: http://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/mbti-basics/

      Please take the test and let me know what type you are. In a month I will add them all up and let you guys know which type is dominant in this hobby!

      Hope this is interesting for you!!!

      Oh by the way I am a INFJ

      PLEASE AND THANK YOU!:aheartbea:aheartbea:aheartbea

    6. I am a very contradictory person, so not surprisingly I didn't score more than moderately on each aspect - In fact I contradicted myself so many times during the test I wasn't sure how it would figure me out LOL - But having read the myers & briggs foundation link, it is SPOT ON - me to a tee (ENFP)

    9. Oh I love playing with this test for characters! I used to always do this to figure out what my favorite characters would be like or how to better write my own characters. Needless to say both my guys(dolls) have their personality types as well. ;) Personally, I'm an ESFJ.

    15. ISTJ, but I could also be catagorized as INTJ, since I have marginal preference of sensing over intuition (1%) which explains my results varied before (also INTJ / ISTJ).

    32. I took the complete test years ago and was: INTP (yes, supposedly a bit more rare)

      Sometimes, on shorter versions, I get close to: INFP

      Do you know what's kind of fun? If you REALLY know your doll's personality (for character dolls), you can have them take the test, too! It's a fun tool for fleshing out your story characters. :D

      My dolls aren't that developed--but I've done that with some story characters now and then.

      ---

      Seems to be a number of different types, so far. Maybe more Introverts, though. :)

    33. I got ESFJ but I have gotten also ESFP from tests of this kind. Personally i think that ESFP is closer to me.

      Also, it seems that BJD's attract introverted people mostly. Not surprising, but still funny, as most BJD hobbyists I know personally are extroverts.

    34. I got ISTJ.

      I wonder if most of the convention goers are extroverts.

      It seems INTJ is supposed to be 2-4% of the population. We already have 7 out of 32 (I think).
      Also, INFJ is supposed to be 1-3% of the population, yet we have 7 of those so far.
      Maybe that says something about BJD hobbyists. The more rare types of introverts are drawn to it.
      So far we have two rare extroverts, too (ENTJ at 2-5% of the population).

    36. I think its because introverts spend more time in their heads. Most of the time an introverted person's best friend is themselves lol. Well our dolls are just a part of our mind coming to life. Just like introverts like writing, BJDs are just another way to bring characters that we create in our minds to life.

    38. ISTP
      distinct preference of Introversion over Extraversion (67%)
      moderate preference of Sensing over Intuition (50%)
      moderate preference of Thinking over Feeling (25%)
      slight preference of Perceiving over Judging (11%)

      the I is definitely true, but for the rest I'm not sure. I answered less than half of the questions with absolute certainty the rest was "errrrrrrrr I guess". :sweat

      edit: looking at the definitions on myersbriggs, I think INFP would fit me much better.

      http://intjcentral.com/the-compleat-idiots-guide-to-the-intj/4/


      I think bringing characters to life is a draw for a lot of collectors but I personally don't do stories or characters to go along with my dolls. I tend to have a particular type of fascination with intricately detailed things and artistry which draws me to them that I think might be more of an introvert trait though.

    45. I got ENFP! I was and wasn't surprised to see one other person on here with the same! I was surprised because when I glanced over the pages I saw it was Mostly I---'s and I was just a bit surprised to see another E--- with the exact same combo.

      I wasn't really surprised to see mostly I's though since this hobby is where most of my own (though few) introverted tendencies come out. I personally know that quite a few people involved in the BJD hobby are introverts and I knew it would be very noticeable in the test specifically on a message board/forum. A lot of people, my friends included, that are introverted but involved in large hobbies like BJD's are able to really get involved through this kind of media because it's comfortable. I won't be surprised if the overall results heavily favor introverts at the end.

      It makes me really glad to have forums like DOA though because it's helped connect me to some pretty cool people I might not have otherwise ever really come in contact with socially!
