INFJ. I score way high in intuitive, usually 90%-%100.

I'm a big winner playing live vs. a breakeven to slightly losing player online.

I think this is because my extroverted feeling and empathy for people are reflected back to me in a natural way when I'm sitting at the table playing with people live.

When I play online, there's a disconnect there with the Feeling function, due to not having enough personal information to go on, and because of the shorter amount of time to process information.

So, often in tough spots, the N function and F function get tied up, and I have cognitive dissonance.

hmmm never thought of it this way. ive gotten intp pretty much everytime ive taken the test but suspect intj or infp are very close as well. can definitely relate to the cognitive dissonance part for playing online. i tend to do a lot better live for the same reasons as well and softer competition along with that definitely helps.

INTP

INTJ, but my %'s are actually fairly low in the NTJ brackets (all under 45%) what does this mean?

Related post I made about a year ago in another thread:

View: INFPs are good at live poker because our intuition helps us easily pick up betting/logical patterns of villains, our superior empathy helps us understand who's on tilt and what kinds of motivations are underlying villains' actions in a hand, and we're good at observing/focusing on the big picture.

View: INFPs are bad at online poker because it's much more difficult to suppress emotions in the privacy of our own homes and to stay focused on "T"-oriented decision making and avoid going on tilt. We also lose the benefit of our most dangerous live poker gifts of knowing people. Without that kind of information available, our decision-making is impaired. Online poker is all "N" for us with suppression of "F" instincts.

View: I am probably unfairly imputing my poker self-assessment to all INFPs.

Obv, it's much easier to be successful at live than online given relative skill levels, but I know a lot of good live players who I soul crush in the live arena who have had a lot more success than me online.

Must like ponies

I don't think you're stretching here at all. I've pretty much come to the exact same conclusions. When I play online, I always feel like my skill set is of comparable, if not higher than some winning regs, but I constantly make dumb mistakes related to tilt that make me a losing player. I have almost identical stats to a number of winning 6 max regs, but our win rates are polar opposites.

I have a suspicion that I would have an easier time, if my world view, or specific view of humanity was more positive and less paranoid.

There also seems to be a personality trait that results in guys that can't win anymore and were used to winning (or never were just whished they'd be) being somewhat likely to scam people.
But I guess that isn't only true for poker players i.e. firms that used to be profitable but go down the drain = guys scamming for some money/turning them into pyramid schemes etc. also happens

Maybe more sociopaths among poker players?

It being a self-test requires a high degree of honest self-awareness on our part and this honest self-awareness is not something we can assume to possess. With the outcome that some or even many people have produced a self assessed result that fits their desires.
So someone who wants to succeed at poker For example might choose answers that fit their 'ideal' poker playing persona resulting in an ENTJ or INTJ answer.
Thats why I believe many INTJ / ENTJ profiles are the result of wishful thinking.. and the same for many other profiles.
The best way to produce an accurate result would be assessment by a certified MBTI consultant.

I'm a fan of Myers Briggs but you should know that there may be a big difference in two people who may score the same type.

For example two guys who are INTJ. One may be more extreme in each of these dimensions while the 2nd person is close to the middle.

I'm a ENTJ myself but I've alwasy strived to not score too high in each of these. I do tend to score higher on the N and the T though. Very moderate on E and J

took the test a bunch of times after the first one (INFP) and have been an INFJ ever since. what it do, krantz?

Are you male or female? (my guess is male)

Im an InFJ and its pretty rare to run into another INFJ male.
