For all the indigo children out there...can you take this personality test?

I thought it was interesting, and the results, which I already posted with an explanation of the different categories, fit me pretty well.

As far as being an Indigo child, I don't see a connection. Don't they have to take picture of your aura to determine if your aura is indigo, and is how people are identified as indigos?

INFP for me. Not the greatest thing for a soon to be lawyer but I knew I would be fighting windmills anyways.

Maybe the Seminary would have been a better choice.

These are my results

yeah seriously, as much as i enjoyed the test results, what does this have to do with being and "Indigo child"?

which letter combination would make you an Indigo??

i'm INFJ, and it says it's "rare", but that doesn't mean i'm Indigo, right?

can someone please explain?

en.wikipedia.org...
i always thought i was more advanced than others, but not quite as advanced as the definition on wiki's page about Indigo children...

The 7 Year-Old Surgeon - Akrit Jaswal, by Extraordinary People (part 1/5)

could this be an Indigo child??

i wonder why people are saying this thread is bogus?..

if you're brutally honest with yourself, which everyone should be, then you'll get an accurate result...

my only complaint, is that i had a "Judging" level of 1... how'd it get so low? i would think that if i got so low on "J", i wonder what my level, if any at all, would be on "P" (Perceiving), "J's" compliment...

I am not an Indigo child, I MAY be an Indigo adult... but I don't care for such lables.

Historically I have been an ENTP, this round I came up an INTJ. I fluctuate between E & I because although I am perfectly comfortable in crowds and expressing myself, I prefer to be home and comfortable with a good book. I am sure it is an age thing. The "J" however surprised me as this has never shown up before.

Idealist Portrait of the Counselor (INFJ)

Counselors have an exceptionally strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others, and find great personal fulfillment interacting with people, nurturing their personal development, guiding them to realize their human potential. Although they are happy working at jobs (such as writing) that require solitude and close attention, Counselors do quite well with individuals or groups of people, provided that the personal interactions are not superficial, and that they find some quiet, private time every now and then to recharge their batteries. Counselors are both kind and positive in their handling of others; they are great listeners and seem naturally interested in helping people with their personal problems. Not usually visible leaders, Counselors prefer to work intensely with those close to them, especially on a one-to-one basis, quietly exerting their influence behind the scenes.

Counselors are scarce, little more than one percent of the population, and can be hard to get to know, since they tend not to share their innermost thoughts or their powerful emotional reactions except with their loved ones. They are highly private people, with an unusually rich, complicated inner life. Friends or colleagues who have known them for years may find sides emerging which come as a surprise. Not that Counselors are flighty or scattered; they value their integrity a great deal, but they have mysterious, intricately woven personalities which sometimes puzzle even them.

Counselors tend to work effectively in organizations. They value staff harmony and make every effort to help an organization run smoothly and pleasantly. They understand and use human systems creatively, and are good at consulting and cooperating with others. As employees or employers, Counselors are concerned with people's feelings and are able to act as a barometer of the feelings within the organization.

Blessed with vivid imaginations, Counselors are often seen as the most poetical of all the types, and in fact they use a lot of poetic imagery in their everyday language. Their great talent for language-both written and spoken-is usually directed toward communicating with people in a personalized way. Counselors are highly intuitive and can recognize another's emotions or intentions - good or evil - even before that person is aware of them. Counselors themselves can seldom tell how they came to read others' feelings so keenly. This extreme sensitivity to others could very well be the basis of the Counselor's remarkable ability to experience a whole array of psychic phenomena.

Mohandas Gandhi, Sidney Poitier, Eleanor Roosevelt, Jane Goodall, Emily Bronte, Sir Alec Guiness, Carl Jung, Mary Baker Eddy, Queen Noor are examples of the Counselor Idealist (INFJ).

INFP,
Always knew I was in the wrong profession.

Every time I have taken this test I get INFJ. I don't consider myself an indigo child. I dont really get into that. I think I am too old to qualify, anyway.

Idealist Portrait of the Healer (INFP)


Healers present a calm and serene face to the world, and can seem shy, even distant around others. But inside they're anything but serene, having a capacity for personal caring rarely found in the other types. Healers care deeply about the inner life of a few special persons, or about a favorite cause in the world at large. And their great passion is to heal the conflicts that trouble individuals, or that divide groups, and thus to bring wholeness, or health, to themselves, their loved ones, and their community.

Healers have a profound sense of idealism that comes from a strong personal sense of right and wrong. They conceive of the world as an ethical, honorable place, full of wondrous possibilities and potential goods. In fact, to understand Healers, we must understand that their deep commitment to the positive and the good is almost boundless and selfless, inspiring them to make extraordinary sacrifices for someone or something they believe in. Set off from the rest of humanity by their privacy and scarcity (around one percent of the population), Healers can feel even more isolated in the purity of their idealism.

Also, Healers might well feel a sense of separation because of their often misunderstood childhood. Healers live a fantasy-filled childhood-they are the prince or princess of fairy tales-an attitude which, sadly, is frowned upon, or even punished, by many parents. With parents who want them to get their head out of the clouds, Healers begin to believe they are bad to be so fanciful, so dreamy, and can come to see themselves as ugly ducklings. In truth, they are quite OK just as they are, only different from most others-swans reared in a family of ducks.

At work, Healers are adaptable, welcome new ideas and new information, are patient with complicated situations, but impatient with routine details. Healers are keenly aware of people and their feelings, and relate well with most others. Because of their deep-seated reserve, however, they can work quite happily alone. When making decisions, Healers follow their heart not their head, which means they can make errors of fact, but seldom of feeling. They have a natural interest in scholarly activities and demonstrate, like the other Idealists, a remarkable facility with language. They have a gift for interpreting stories, as well as for creating them, and thus often write in lyric, poetic fashion. Frequently they hear a call to go forth into the world and help others, a call they seem ready to answer, even if they must sacrifice their own comfort.

I've taken MB many times (more than 5...both short and long form) IMAGINE my surprise in finding that on your test, I changed my preferences?! possible, but highly unlikely....I came out an INFP according to yours....and every other time I've been an INTP. The difference could be do to the brief nature of your test (sorry I didn't record my preference scores....but was surprised to see several STRONG preferences, when every other time....the only clear preference I demonstrated was for Intuitive)?

like most people here it seems....I have no idea what constitutes an 'indigo child'....or what the connection is you are trying to make?

I would find in interesting if you did a summary of the personality profiles of those that participated, as there does seem (using my unscientific intuition) a distinct trend. I've never seen a population with so many INTPs and INFP, there might be some interesting theories associated with that?

Reminder: MB Personality profiles are NOT indicators of BEHAVIOR.....they are merely you recording your PREFERENCES....with the premise being that the knowledge can make you more effective. (that is of course if you are emotionally intelligent enough to change behavior that is limiting your ability to connect)

Does anyone know if the original poster is still actively using this thread? Or intends to do anything with the information?

Rational Portrait of the Mastermind (INTJ)

All Rationals are good at planning operations, but Masterminds are head and shoulders above all the rest in contingency planning. Complex operations involve many steps or stages, one following another in a necessary progression, and Masterminds are naturally able to grasp how each one leads to the next, and to prepare alternatives for difficulties that are likely to arise any step of the way. Trying to anticipate every contingency, Masterminds never set off on their current project without a Plan A firmly in mind, but they are always prepared to switch to Plan B or C or D if need be.
Masterminds are rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population, and they are rarely encountered outside their office, factory, school, or laboratory. Although they are highly capable leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once they take charge, however, they are thoroughgoing pragmatists. Masterminds are certain that efficiency is indispensable in a well-run organization, and if they encounter inefficiency-any waste of human and material resources-they are quick to realign operations and reassign personnel. Masterminds do not feel bound by established rules and procedures, and traditional authority does not impress them, nor do slogans or catchwords. Only ideas that make sense to them are adopted; those that don't, aren't, no matter who thought of them. Remember, their aim is always maximum efficiency.

In their careers, Masterminds usually rise to positions of responsibility, for they work long and hard and are dedicated in their pursuit of goals, sparing neither their own time and effort nor that of their colleagues and employees. Problem-solving is highly stimulating to Masterminds, who love responding to tangled systems that require careful sorting out. Ordinarily, they verbalize the positive and avoid comments of a negative nature; they are more interested in moving an organization forward than dwelling on mistakes of the past.

Masterminds tend to be much more definite and self-confident than other Rationals, having usually developed a very strong will. Decisions come easily to them; in fact, they can hardly rest until they have things settled and decided. But before they decide anything, they must do the research. Masterminds are highly theoretical, but they insist on looking at all available data before they embrace an idea, and they are suspicious of any statement that is based on shoddy research, or that is not checked against reality.

Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Dwight D. Eisenhower, General Ulysses S. Grant, Frideriche Nietsche, Niels Bohr, Peter the Great, Stephen Hawking, John Maynard Keynes, Lise Meitner", Ayn Rand and Sir Isaac Newton are examples of Rational Masterminds.

Quite flattering I think.

[edit on 10/11/08 by Rapacity]

Taken a few different tests now (past couple of hours) and the above seems quite accurate but... I think the whole internet testing method is a load of c&b. My belief is that all unmoderated, online tests (be they of IQ, personality, aptitude or other psyche or intellect measure) should be considered entertainment. They're the modern replacement of the Victorian seance. Likewise, in years to come, there will be medical departments set up to treat all us poor unfortunates who've been possessed by them (results).

[edit on 10/11/08 by Rapacity]

Hiya,

My results were as follows:

Type - INFJ (Counselor)

Introverted - 44
Intuitive - 62
Feeling - 50
Judging - 11

The description is uncanny in some ways, but also quite generalised. I found myself wanting to give a "sometimes" or half/half reply rather than straightforward yes or no.

I know what the term "indigo" children signifies and actually find the subject relatively interesting but as with all New Age theories, there is always this assumption that consciousness is rising to another level (New Age salvation is near!!!) and certain "select" sectors of society (indigo or star children/abductees/channellers) will usher this in, when in fact I believe we are ALL born with limitless potential and the "higher state", or more subtle connected levels of sensitivity, paraded so often in New Age circles as exclusive to this or that group are achievable to everyone who seeks to wake up and be truly aware.

I've taken this test many times over the course of my life, after many unexplained events happened in my early childhood. I've been called many things - Indigo Child being one of the most frequent.

My result was: ENFJ

"Because ENFJ's people skills are so extraordinary, they have the ability to make people do exactly what they want them to do. They get under people's skins and get the reactions that they are seeking. ENFJ's motives are usually unselfish, but ENFJs who have developed less than ideally have been known to use their power over people to manipulate them. "
