I scored ENFP… kinda boring! I doubt with a score like that I would end up being a main character on Lost! Fun test, though..

I really liked this one Paintgirl… the ENFP description has me pegged down to a T! Simply amazing. I feel like some people would be likely to answer the questions based on what they think is the right answer and not as honestly as they should. I wonder if the test accounts for that.

John: INFJ

I67 N25 F31 J1

I wasn’t too sure about all of these, but…

John was a house inspector, which means he doesn’t mind delving into the details.

John seems to highly value what he feels and intuits.

He, also, kept a pretty neat desk.

John said he’s a meat and potatoes kind of guy, never bought much into “magic”.

John behaves as though tending to the moment will allow the future to take care of itself. So… I think I probably should have had his “sense” score higher.

Reason has a place for John, but “there are more things in heaven and earth, [Jack], than are dreampt of in your philosophy.”

John’s greatest weakness is he wants to believe in people.

Me too Prof.

John Locke: INFJ - 11, 5, 38, 44

Weird discrepancies with the numbers, though!

:) Pretty close on all but N and J, but I already admitted my N might be lower if I’d answered more questions in the S direction… so I’m guessing our major disagreement is with J. I guess I tend to think John is more spontaneous than you do. :-)

Hey Hex: I am an ENFP too! So what’s up with the “kinda boring”? We are not boring!!! ;)

I think that he analysis is spot on though, wouldn’t you agree?

LOL paintgirl! I posted that before I read the profile! I was basing that comment simply on the numbers. I agree! We’re the life of the party baby!

You know what? I think the majority of the people that come to this website are Intuitive! I think everyone that’s shared THEIR personality type has had an N; I don’t recall anyone with an S.

lol! That’s right Hex!

And in regards to your comment on a Lost Character with our Type…. I think Desmond is pretty close! He’s gotta be an N, F, P. And based on his outgoingness with Jack at the Stadium…I would say he’s an Extrovert. There you have it - Desmond is an ENFP. But I guess I need to post that in a different thread; since that’s about Desmond and not John Locke.

That works for me as I think that I identify with Desmond the most as a character. (The funny thing, though, is that I find myself wishing that I was more like John Locke…wonder why that is?)

Our N’s and P’s scored exaclty the same kat.

Aaaand… apparently kat thinks John is more spontaneous than I do. :-)

Oh…dammit kat, I thought that you meant that your personality scored INFP.

Here you go Kat- this is a good site too: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/academic/psychology/alt.psychology.personality/profiles/infp.html

*Notice at the bottom of the screen, there is a section that points out what role the other personality types play in relation to that person. Such as Cohort, Pal, Suitemate, contrast, enigma, etc….basically says who gets along and clicks with that type and who clashes with who. Pretty interesting!

Hex: here’s our enfp description! :) http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/academic/psychology/alt.psychology.personality/profiles/enfp.html

Sure. But… they guy built a trebuchet. :-) He played strategy games on his breaks. Sure, he wanted to break into the hatch without thinking, but he didn’t want to go into the jungle and face the Others without intelligence.

So, you know… balance… :-) But then again my J was a 1… just about right on the line. :-)

Kat I am also a INFP, Although due to some recent changes to the company network I think the website is being blocked

Again…spot on.

OK for John I got: ENFJ (The Giver) Percentage breakdown: E: 11%, N: 56%, F: 56%, J: 56%

hmm: so most of you think he is on the Introvert side

Hey Sleepz: what time is where you are?

kat: perhaps… but I still think John sees himself more as a “Ben Kenobi” than a “Luke Skywalker”. :-)

Peach: Wow, an extrovert… and even numbers across the board after that… didn’t see that coming…

I think John is a lot more assertive! Which doesn’t necessarily mean he’s more extroverted. I know a lot of Introverts that have NO problem being assertive.

Indeed.

I know that was weird! Some of the questions I could go either way. so the E: 11% isn’t far from the I side.

Right.

Prof: So we both got NFJ for John?

Yep. Hex, too.

You’re more confident in his NFJ-ness than I was, though. :-) Most notably J.

Well, remember… he let himself get pushed around pretty good by Jack in season 2, and Ben in season 3… and everyone in flashbacks.

I think that Locke’s character has a really strong duality to it. You could group it into John: the assertive and patient introvet - and Locke: the spontaneous and hot-headed extrovert. Maybe that is a little over-simplified, but I have always felt that there was a distinct difference in his personality when people refer to him as “John” and when people refer to him as “Locke.” Like, he’s John when he’s on the beach giving Claire advice, and he’s “Locke” when he’s tromping through the jungle on a mission.

Heh… interesting, Hex.

Guys, just look at his face… two sides, right? The one with the scar, well… scares me. Pun intended ;-)

Yes! That side is the one that’s looked into the eye of the Island, and it looked back! That’s enough to split a man in two, I reckon.

Ok…What do you guys think of this?

Jack: INTJ http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/academic/psychology/alt.psychology.personality/profiles/intj.html

Locke: INFJ http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/academic/psychology/alt.psychology.personality/profiles/infj.html

According this website the INTJ and INFJ are considered “companions”. Here’s info on how each type relates to one another (the roles they play): http://typelogic.com/pairs.html

Yea Ben would be tricky! and he likes mind games too.

what about Juliet?

Hex: That’s a good point about “John” and “Locke”

Thanks Paint. I’ve been wanting to get that one out for a while but I kept forgetting to post it as a theory. No need to now I guess!

You have some good insights! You should post them!

Heh.. blushing

…as a theory that is!

That makes sense to me, Peach.

lol! ;)

ER… both your Jack/John profile suggestion AND your suggestion to have Hex post his idea as a theory sound good to me, Peachy. :-)

VERY GOOD Prof!! I have been thinking that Locke and John are more alike than they realize. I believe it’s all in how they perceive things. Locke’s perception or “lens” is through faith. And I think Faith and trust go hand in hand. Someone that has faith in God….trusts God.

Jack on the other hand has a hard time with “faith”. (whether it’s God or the Island, or people) I don’t know if he’s skeptical of other people’s motives or their abilities, or if he simply believes he can take care of things better than other people. Everyone else was quick to put their faith in Jack; yet has he done that with any of them?

Faith is a choice. It’s a choice to trust something or someone without evidence or reason. John get that. Jack does not. He cannot believe something without proof or assurance that he can let go and trust it.

I mean- “John get(s) that.”

oooh! I just realized something. Prof: You agreed that Locke is probably an INFJ, right? Hmm… and didn’t you say YOU were an INFJ?…

So does this mean you’re a cradle-making, submarine-blowin’-up, knife-throwing-back-stabbing, C4 stealing, mighty jungle warrior?

I new I figured you out Prof!

[Pictures Fred —I mean, ProfOzone— in the sweat tent]

Hmmm……the power of suggestion, Occam…..

The thought of Prof in a sweat tent……..that’s so HOT!! ;)

Wow very cool discussion. This was such a great idea PG.

I think you guys are spot on in talking about the two sides of John Locke (really nice catch on the different ways people refer to him Hex). The questions I had most trouble with were the ones about whether he is focussed on the moment or on the future, or similarly, whether he’s a detail guy or a big picture guy. In those areas, I’d really want to opt for both.

My results were: I 39% N 38% F 50% J 1%

PG I notice that you got “E” for both Jack and John—I think your own warm, outgoing self might be radiating out to the characters. :-)

I also noticed doing this one right after Jack’s that I wound up answering a lot of questions in the same way—and in fact it is only that 3rd term that changed for me and that seems to be a kind of consensus. I think there’s more consesus among us so far about John than Jack. I liked realizing that they are much less opposites of each other through doing this. One thing that I thought they have in common (and where the “I” comes in for me) is that because they are in leadership positions they have to stand apart a bit more.

Occam—nice visualization there! And PG, I agree (heh, poetically). Fred fans, start lobbying now for the sweat lodge scene!

Mornin all, here’s what I got for John, I’ll compare it to what I posted on Jack’s thread yesterday or last night or whenever that was…

John: INTJ 22,38,25,67

Jack: ISTJ 78,25,12,78

kat, Locke=Obi Wan, Jack=Luke, Kate=Leia, Sawyer=Han?

Does this mean Christian got around even more than we realized? :-)

Hah! I want to to see the polar bear impersonation—or maybe we can send a stuffed animal polar bear—I think if we all concentrate very hard. Nah, changed my mind; I like the idea of Fred doing the polar bear (soon to be the newest dance sensation). Concentrate on the sweat lodge scene instead. :-)

PG….great stuff…very interesting. I haven’t had time to take the test yet, but thanks for going to all the trouble of bringing this to our attention! Again…it gives us different perspectives on the already fascinating characters on this show! +1

…and a karma point at Loop’s…thanks for coming by!

And I thought doing Jack was tough! Here’s what I (he) scored.

John Locke ISTP “The Mechanic” and I got the Daily Double on this one. :)

“Crafter Artisan” popped up. http://keirsey.com/personality/spit.html

Here is the breakdown:

Introverted 33% / Sensing 1% / Thinking 12% / Perceiving 22%

Career choices could include mechanic, law, and counseling.

I have mixed feelings on the results, but I think much of the description for this type hits the mark. He’s just such a complex guy to me.

Good discussions on Mr. Locke all.

Paintgirl18, Re;Your 12:43am post. I really was not too sure if I fit in with this group or not. Now I’m really not sure, since my test showed me to be an ISFG 78 25 12 33. But I have to say I really enjoy coming to this site anyway!

Hey Katesawjack!

It’s all good! We are glad you are here!! Thanks for taking the test and telling us your results. :)

I appreciate it. HAND

katesawjack: Everyone fits in here. Seriously.

Good to see you. :-)

Hmm… might I be a vegan version of John Locke?

I’m not sure how that would work… :-)

Hello all I scored Locke an INFJ i 89 n 25 f 38 j 44 I guess most of my answers for him have been based on the majority of his scenes rather than his last scene killing Naomi. He is very much an I in my perceptions.

Locke - hardest character to type hands down. He has so much know-how but an incredibly huge spiritual side that is just being tapped. Right now, I’d say he’s fitting the INFJ best.

I - I think Locke is clearly introverted (getting his energy from within). He often goes out alone; doesn’t need (or want) the big group; doesn’t talk out his ideas - churns them around inside his head before speaking.

N - again, I think Locke is clearly intuitive. Not so much relying on his 5 senses but dealing with intangible ideas and the big picture. Usually this is the hardest letter for me to call but for Locke it’s easy!

F - this is a tough one here; I think Locke is an F in the emotionally-rather-than-fact-driven sense. Not that he’s touchy-feely either; just that he’s not tied down to logic as a scientist (a “T” in this position - like Jack!) would be. Which puts Locke as an INFJ and Jack as an INTJ — science vs. faith again.

J - This guy is a doer. Make a decision, make a plan. Be prepared. Definitely not a P.

BTW - INFJ does not equal all around good person (though, being one, I deep down think it does!). My best day in the Myers Briggs world was hearing that Jesus’ actions could be classified those of an INFJ; my worst day was hearing that so could Hilter’s. Yikes.

Heh… awesome.

a vegan John Locke…maybe that’s the John, Farmer side rather than the Locke, Hunter side. In which case, by scoring him INFJ did we generally all tend to emphasize that side of him? Would the Locke half be ISFP?

John has definitely gone through the best flip as in 180 degrees.

Powder puff to knife thrower.

Vegan to meat on the table.

And maybe the best jewel of them all… Wanna be strategest at a no where job, to the game winner of life?
