I was wondering if there are certain personality traits that bass players share. Take this short test and click your results on the poll above. http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp
*** Note: This is an informal and abbreviated test, so you INTP types can refrain from pointing out flaws in the methodology. ***

|  | Registered User | | | | | Didn't take the test you linked but after taking a few of these tests and reading up on the types I concluded that I am an INFP. I found out that you really have to think hard about the answers you give and be as honest and objective of yourself as possible to get accurate results for these tests. I fit the INFP profile very closely. |

Yes, I like to hang back with the drummer.

As one of those INTP types, I just can't help but point out that a lot of the extroverted types are probably too busy out in the real world doing things rather than answering online polls and tests such as this.
But I really like this idea anyway and am curious what the results are for Talkbass members who DO have time for such things. |

The first two were by a good amount, with the second one being 50%.
I don't remember what the 3rd one was.
And the fourth was by 1%. |

|  | Registered User | | | | | I'm consistently INFP. I can be extroverted if I'm on a task. More of a coordinator than extrovert but similar. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Sacramento, CA | | | I don't fit into any B-M type; the questions on most of those tests are usually fallacies of false choice and are honestly unanswerable. Perhaps this means I am adaptable and fall across many types?

EDIT -- I don't actually fit entirely neatly into that category. I was close to scoring as an INFP too. Reading both of the descriptions, I think I'm a cross between them.
