Hi folks. I am confused about the new option about personality type. I have completed the questionnaire about this, and my result was INFP...however, how do I use that information to decide which sea creature I am? When I started the questionnaire I read that upon completion my type would show in my profile. Maybe I am misunderstanding something? Thank you very much!
Dear Moderator, Thank you very much. I thought I was missing something or my blonde roots were showing. I was under the assumption that by answering the personality quiz questions, I would automatically be assigned a sea creature. Thanks again!
yes, i too assumed exactly that. That once I did that REALLY ANNOYING AND STUPID personality test my effort would be rewarded with a fish personality. no such luck.
I'll be nice and not complain that Jung never intended his personality types to be perverted by Myers & Briggs.
in edit profile section you can choose your fish personlity - so when you see the link for testing your personlity type - you would assume that's what it is referring to.
maybe there should be some definitions (just one-liners would do) written for the fish personlaities

consider it an ice-breaker - ask them why they see themselves as aShark, Tuna, Blowfish, Flounder, Carp, Flat-tail mullet, Bigeye Snapper etc...
I didn't want to bump this thread, but I thought the cynic's explanation should be here too/late™
This site differs from pay sites in many ways, things were meant to be mostly substance over style.
But, ...those coming from a "paysite" mindset found that they liked some of the "fluff" features that paysites have (not really understanding that most of these features served to generate income). When this site was made, the credit-card draining "fluff" features of paysites wasn't considered in the design, however, people would often request "fluff" features. Admin listens.
It seems to me that when he can tie a "fluff" feature into something practical and useable, he does, and sometimes it's just fluff.
....but the kind that doesn't pick your pocket.
I would think that now that our population is such that most in some way, grew up nursed by the anthropomorfic imagery of Disney animals and the like, many will "pick a fish" to tack on their profile, much like those who have stuffed animals next to their pillows.
In the grand scheme of things, I imagine that an anthropologist with a keen interest in pop culture would kill for the user-base stats, which he would not likely be able to have. Some of us just smile, and move on.
I just spent ages filling in the very long questionnaire only to be be told to stop wasting time as I had opted to use the first option more than ten times. Now I don't remember reading that this was a rule. but, when in my opinion on a question the two answers were equal then I had no other option so I think it was unfair to to be so rude. Especially as this is an experimental stage. Kindness is a virtue don't you know!
To add insult ... up came the questionnaire minus my answers. Surly had I gone over the max for option 1, you could have at least given me my submitted version to peruse and see if I could change my mind..... makes sense to me!
oh! and by the way.... the fish thing was a breeze! (not that I really understand the point but I do like dophins!)
I just chose "Turtle"...that way I'd have my "virtual shell" with me... and not be shy about sending "virtual Teddie Bears" or "virtual Glasses of Wine"!... Am I a Turtle? You bet your sweet ass I am!
I'm sooooooo glad to know that i wasn't the only one being all confused and laughing at this subject alone......i just guessed at my sea creature.....nothing is THAT easy...is it?
Has anyone met a bottom dweller yet,kinda scary if you ask me in the dark dwelling ,Waiting for the small happy fish to swim past (curse my vivid imagination). now i'll never sleep.
personally i think little descriptions of the personalities are a great idea! i took the quiz too and was disappointed by no suggested fish personality. i think something needs to be added there!
I have had the same question about the fish thingy. I think it falls in the same category as dreams, where dreams can only be interpreted by the person who had the dream, not by some psychologist or psychic guru. Perhaps thats why no definitions are attached, to make a conversation piece or in other words , to help spark up a conversation other than "Hows the weather there?", instead "Why that particular fish?". There is no denying that everyone is different, even by one degree and that is why the fishies are there just to incite curiosity on the person looking at your profile ; )
I think the Personality and Compatibility tests do enough to give the searcher an idea about who you are. The fish is to fill in any gaps the Personality and Compatibility tests missed about you. In fact, both of those tests do warn that their results are not entirely accurate, but as close as possible in describing you. Any two people can pick the same fish but have a different interpretation, which is why there are people that will find you either attractive or not even though they are looking at the same person.
This is the most logical explanation I can think of about the personality fishies

I HAD to LOL!!! When I read this answer! I haven't heard the Turtle question and answer in FOREVER!!! (Now I'm trying to remember the initiation questions.... LOL!!! Thanks for the laugh! and memories!
I took the personality quiz and got the "wrong" type and wish to delete it from the site. According to this site, I am an INTJ but I am really an INTP, the latter of which is the type I've scored every time I've taken the quiz, even just months ago.
So, is there a way to retake/remove my current INTJ?
played the fish game.....eeeeek turns out im a hammerhead shark
As an extremely adapted predator, you use your oddly shaped head to increase your ability to find prey. Your eyes and nostrils are located on both ends of your hammer shaped head. Your vertebrae are especially designed for quick turns and maneuvering. Ranging in size from 3 feet to 20 feet long, you can weigh up to 1,000lbs. You feed on fish, crustaceans and especially enjoy eating rays. You prefer warm temperate and tropical water, and can be found swimming along coastlines and continental shelves in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans and the Mediterranean and Black Seas. You may even catch a tan while swimming in shallow waters. During the day you often swim in large schools, sometimes containing more than 100 fellow hammerheads, but prefer to hunt alone at night.
As true with most shark species, you are in danger of becoming extinct. Highly sought after, your fins are considered an expensive delicacy (used to make shark fin soup), your liver oil is often used to make vitamins, and your skin is use to make leather. While people are not legally permitted to catch you, you are often caught by longlines and driftnets, and rarely make it out alive.
