Hahahaha fuckkkkkkk

INFJ You’re single because: You have trust issues. You’ll get into a relationship when: Someone you’ve known for an unimaginable amount of time finally wears you down and convinces you that you can take a chance on them.

I'm choosing to look at this as hilarious, even if it is scarily accurate

    This is what I got:

    ISTJ

    You’re single because: You aren’t a party animal/bad boy, which you’ve convinced yourself is all anyone your age wants.

    You’ll get into a relationship when: You finally reach the phase of life where other people are as ready to settle down as you have been for the past two decades.



    Yep, sounds like me. I am not the outgoing, hitting bars or dance clubs type.

    Yeah, I'm gonna do the same

    INFP

    You’re single because: You idealize the crap out of potential partners and then get upset when their reality doesn’t measure up.

    You’ll get into a relationship when: You meet someone who also wants the rest of his or her life to resemble a Nicholas Sparks novel.

    I always forget what my meyers briggs is, had to do the test. Well the top part is right. I have a hard time keeping opinions to myself.

    ESTJ

    Your single because: Those helpful life pointers you gave your last date were actually pretty insulting.

    You’ll get into a relationship when: You meet an Anastasia Steele type who just wants to be bossed around.

    I think the answers are so hilarious! Of course there is truth in jest, but I don't think it means we should just accept what it's saying and give up ;)

    ISFJ

    You’re single because: You’re attracted to carefree personalities, who then take the relationship twelve hundred times less seriously than you do.

    You’ll get into a relationship when: The ESTP you’ve been pursuing is finally ready to settle down.

    Interesting...

    I'm borderline ENFP and INFP.

    This is eerily true. Someone needs to hold my attention long enough for me to become intrigued, and THEN I idealize them...or get bored with them.


    ENFP
    You’re single because: You have the attention span of a goldfish and cannot decide what you want.

    You’ll get into a relationship when: You find someone just unattainable enough to intrigue you for a significant period of time.

    INFP

    You’re single because: You idealize the crap out of potential partners and then get upset when their reality doesn’t measure up.

    You’ll get into a relationship when: You meet someone who also wants the rest of his or her life to resemble a Nicholas Sparks novel.

    ESFJ

    You’re single because: You have a savior complex and keep going for wounded people who can’t properly love you back.

    You’ll get into a relationship when: You’re finally attracted to someone who has his or her *kitten* together and doesn’t need to be bullied into a relationship.

    OP: Thanks for the awesome laugh with this post!!!

    Oh...my...word...I about died laughing. Spot on!!!

    "ENTP--You’re single because: You’re not. You’re probably already in a couple of relationships that you’ve just forgotten about. You’ll get into a relationship when: Your INFJ wife tracks you down and demands to know where you’ve been for the past six years."

    INTJ

    You’re single because: You over-analyze social interactions to the point where it seems easier to just avoid them altogether.

    You’ll get into a relationship when: A hell-bent ENFP follows you around for a long enough period of time that you eventually just accept that you’re dating.


    Um, that may have happened before.

    Doesn't work so well for me. I'm ENTP, and that profile doesn't really match ENTPs. ENTPs are the least extroverted of the E's. Maybe they struggled with an amusing reason for us, and that's why it's at the bottom? :)

    bahaha... idk if the person i'm trying to pursue is the estp.. but kind of is, I guess. Other than that, this is pretty spot on. And that is creepy.. but hilarious!

    You’ll get into a relationship when: You meet someone just like yourself on World of Warcraft."

    Any female WoW player here? Kidding. Was funny though.

    Borderline INTP and ENTP

    You’re single because: You haven’t found anyone you love more than you love Reality TV.

    You’ll get into a relationship when: Someone intrigues you enough to pull you out of your shell and pursue him or her full-force.



    Yup...

    I've been reading a lot about Myers-Briggs classification since I stumbled randomly on it through this thread.
    I believe I've typed myself properly and reading more about my type helped me understand much better some of my issues in previous relationships (mainly "emotional communication" issues I had). This has helped me a lot to understand myself better.

    I posted this mainly as I thought it was funny to see how sometimes the most significant things (understanding of self) can come from the most insignificant events (this funny post on MFP).

    Hopefully I will have better "emotional tools" to deal with my next relationship (and no World of Warcraft isn't part of the solution or the problem).

    I love it when seemingly insignificant things happen that end up giving us a better understanding of ourselves -- I have personally always been a fan of the Myers-Briggs personality test, precisely because it has given me the tools I need with which to face who I am. Of course we don't all fit into neat little boxes, but I feel that even with a general knowledge of my strengths and weaknesses, I am much better prepared to fortify my weaknesses and maintain a healthy appreciation for what I already do well. This definitely includes dating ;)

    "ENFJ

    You’re single because: You smothered the crap out of your last partner, who genuinely did not have anything left to “Open up” about.

    You’ll get into a relationship when: You go on the Bachelor and win."


    ...fml. i don't even watch that show! guess i'm screwed :D
