Everyone who knows me know I'm an MBTI nerd, and I was inspired by @moderndayhippie to share the results to my test! This is the most popular personality test of all time! You can take it here! https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test

MEDIATOR PERSONALITY (INFP, -A/-T)
Mediator personalities are true idealists, always looking for the hint of good in even the worst of people and events, searching for ways to make things better. While they may be perceived as calm, reserved, or even shy, Mediators have an inner flame and passion that can truly shine. Comprising just 4% of the population, the risk of feeling misunderstood is unfortunately high for the Mediator personality type – but when they find like-minded people to spend their time with, the harmony they feel will be a fountain of joy and inspiration.
Mediator personality
Being a part of the Diplomat Role group, Mediators are guided by their principles, rather than by logic (Analysts), excitement (Explorers), or practicality (Sentinels). When deciding how to move forward, they will look to honor, beauty, morality and virtue – Mediators are led by the purity of their intent, not rewards and punishments. People who share the Mediator personality type are proud of this quality, and rightly so, but not everyone understands the drive behind these feelings, and it can lead to isolation.
All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither; deep roots are not reached by the frost.
We Know What We Are, but Know Not What We May Be
At their best, these qualities enable Mediators to communicate deeply with others, easily speaking in metaphors and parables, and understanding and creating symbols to share their ideas. Fantasy worlds in particular fascinate Mediators, more than any other personality type. The strength of their visionary communication style lends itself well to creative works, and it comes as no surprise that many famous Mediators are poets, writers and actors. Understanding themselves and their place in the world is important to Mediators, and they explore these ideas by projecting themselves into their work.
Mediators have a talent for self-expression, revealing their beauty and their secrets through metaphors and fictional characters.
Mediators’ ability with language doesn’t stop with their native tongue, either – as with most people who share the Diplomat personality types, they are considered gifted when it comes to learning a second (or third!) language. Their gift for communication also lends itself well to Mediators’ desire for harmony, a recurring theme with Diplomats, and helps them to move forward as they find their calling.
Listen to Many People, but Talk to Few
Unlike their Extraverted cousins though, Mediators will focus their attention on just a few people, a single worthy cause – spread too thinly, they’ll run out of energy, and even become dejected and overwhelmed by all the bad in the world that they can’t fix. This is a sad sight for Mediators’ friends, who will come to depend on their rosy outlook.
If they are not careful, Mediators can lose themselves in their quest for good and neglect the day-to-day upkeep that life demands. Mediators often drift into deep thought, enjoying contemplating the hypothetical and the philosophical more than any other personality type. Left unchecked, Mediators may start to lose touch, withdrawing into “hermit mode”, and it can take a great deal of energy from their friends or partner to bring them back to the real world.
Luckily, like the flowers in spring, Mediator’s affection, creativity, altruism and idealism will always come back, rewarding them and those they love perhaps not with logic and utility, but with a world view that inspires compassion, kindness and beauty wherever they go.
Most of this is true, but one thing this description neglects to address is our dark side. 16 personalities makes us all sound so nice lol! That said, I ask you, what is your personality type? Does the description they give you ring true?
I have been INTP every time I've taken this test.
I find it to be fairly accurate. What I find weird is how often I seem to come in contact with INTJs who are one of the smallest population groups. We often hold similar opinions yet clash all the same. I've been interested in MBTI since I've heard about it and I have successfully guessed the type of several people. It helps a bit to know how to interact with people and how to manage expectations.

INTJ here, we're stubborn as hell when we think we right, even if we're just slightly more right than you ;).
Edit: I actually posted that before reading your second post. It's about right. Trying to be a little more P in my life.

You're INTP? That's awesome!! My dad is INTP as well. It's interesting how one letter makes us so different from each other, yet in many ways we're alike. :)
I've always been intrigued by the idea of meeting an INTJ. Women INTJs are the rarest of all MBTI types. I think the percentage is .05%. Truth be told I've only met male and that has only been online when they responded to my MBTI articles haha! Never in real life. You say you clash with them. How so?
Did you know that there's more behind your four letter combo? Your cognitive functions as an INTP are as follows (from most prominent to least): Introverted thinking, extraverted intuition, introverted sensing, extraverted feeling. One reason I love MBTI is that it delves into how our brains work. :) Thanks for your comment!! :)

You're INTJ? Awesome!! Your personality type is very mysterious to me. This might seem like a lame question haha but here goes: Most evil villains portrayed by Hollywood are INTJs.
How do you feel about that? Do you identify with their characters or do you think they are poor representations?

They are the best villains though! INTJs are often seem outwardly cold, are often highly intelligent, rational to a fault, and highly confident in their ability. These traits make them complex and somewhat unrelateable for most people, hence they make a great foil to the hero's mass appeal.
The I and T together are relatively benign. It's the N and J where if misapplied can lead to a skewed world view. But those traits also make for strong leadership (again, good for portrayals of a big bad). I think I stay grounded enough where I don't fall down the rabbit hole like a lot of those villains, the only one from that picture I sort of relate to is Magneto.
You don't see a lot of female INTJs because a lot of their traits are often discouraged in girls by society.

I don't think I've ever met one either. Ayn Rand was one though. So was Karl Marx. How's that for contrasting two sides of the same coin.
INTPs are good at finding and determining truth, but don't always like to draw conclusions. For us, well at least me, the saying "If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck it must be a duck." isn't necessarily true. I mean it's probable, but it also might be a parrot. The world wants to know if it is a duck and as an INTP, my answer is "probably". I don't have enough information to prove conclusively that it is in fact a duck. The INTJ will take the data and analyze it in the same manner, but would reach the conclusion that it is a duck, then vigorously defend that position until death. They are so sure about it in fact that they hold disdain for those who can't understand and often end up talking down to those people. At least that has been my experience.
Of course I'm bias, so take that with a grain of salt.

I'll make this test later @snowpea and will tell you my results!
Sometimes this kind of tests tell you things you didn't even know about you, that's what I find interesting in them. =D

I fluctuate between E and I but it always follows with NFP, so i think I’m pretty consistent. It’s clear i walk the intro/extrovert line. Fun stuff
