Is there a common AD(H)D personalities? 1 | ADHD Information

  OK, I'm not much into personality tests but it occurs to me that we have so many similar traits and issues with AD(H)D that I wonder if we would be similar if we all took an online inventory of our personalities? You have your pick of 2 tests both based on the Jung - Myers-Briggs typological approach to personality typing. Test  #1 is at http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes1.htm It is a series of 72 simple questions that require alot of thought and consideration to answer. Test #2 is at http://www.personalitypathways.com/type_inventory.html#Inven tory and is fast and easy.  You just pick the four summaries that fit you best. Both tests seem to end up the same way. If your type isn't here...its in part 2.

Each has a summation of the types. #1 gives 2 interpretations to choose from written by professional types and #2 gives an easier read one.  There is also an excellent overview of all of them at http://www.mbtitoday.org/typechars.html but no test.

So why did I go there to begin with? I was just looking for some help to define my personality traits to consider different jobs I might be good at. 

 

Karen N38427.6646412037Karen, you been drinking the caffeinated stuff again? This is getting to complicated for me. I'll be back another time. No ...just bored....and as always too curious. Pick test #2's link , answer 4 questions and pick your 4 letter code type in this poll. I took the test in your first link and ended up ISTP - but I have a funny feeling that if I took the test again tomorrow I may get a different outcome.

I don't like these personality type tests. The questions are too vague. At least 50% of the time I wanted to answer "it depends on the situation".

Whew... now I'm far too pooped to look at your second link and actually read the descriptions.
Karen....can't do. I'm about 50% on each one. So I can't really pick either from each category. Sorry, toots. I was recently given this test by my counselor....before I was dx'd for ADHD...couldn't choose between then, either. Okay I didn't realize the desc. would be so short. I am definately I-something-something-P.

Sensing/intuitive/thinking/feeling are all up for debate, as I have qualities matched and mismatched in all of them.

That's why I hate these tests. LOL.

I had the same trouble. I actually expect to get alot of people saying "it depends" or "I'm in both". That in itself says alot. When I was making this poll, I privately wondered if I'd get replies that backed up my further suspicion that the tests are  BULLCRAPPY.
