I find even this free version very valuable as a manager. Without it there would be lots of trail and error getting to learn how someone works and why they interact the way they do.
This gives me a headstart in piecing someone into our team.
Trials as well!

Even these with very few questions tend to be relatively accurate. But you can see how "loose" it is when people like AJ see variations in results just a year or two apart. A good test would normally show almost zero change over decades. People do change, but extremely little normally and only over great periods of time.

Yeah but in all fairness, I've changed a lot in the past two years, far more than is common, in some very fundamental ways...

Changing behavior based on experience is not the same as changing personality traits. The MB test is for traits, not behavior.

What I've been through the past two years changed me at a fundamental level, which didn't just affect my behavior, but who I really am as a person. I'm not surprised that it changed. I actually would have been more surprised if it hadn't...

Changing how you feel about things is not the same as changing who you are. If you feel this to be the case, it indicates that you really don't understand the test. It takes a very, very long time for very minor changes to happen. Life events are not really a factor. I know you think that you are an exception, but that's not how the Myers Briggs works. It is not measuring your attitudes, it is measuring you. What you are showing is that you may have been answering untruthfully or the small scope test is pretty loosey goosy with not having enough data for reliable results. And you can be showing stress flips, which is part of the MB so if you take it under stress some of your stuff will be backwards. But if it shows you changing, something is wrong.

I went from ENFP to ENTP. So, based on what you know, what could affect that type of effect? (deliberately showing off proper grammar skills lol)

Well a good result should not just call you an ENFP, for example, it should give you a kind of "slider" that shows you how far you are to one side or the other. For example, I'm an ENFP sitting about 1% off of the ENTP line. So when I "move" between these two types, it is not that I am changing in any real way, I'm moving one slider a few percentage points one way or the other... which happens under day to day influences. Small and temporary changes are normal. So my "F/T" gauge I am nearly neutral. It's not really one or the other, it's a blend.
My P, though, is like 100% P. As far as you can get P. I will never hit J, ever, never, whatsoever. I would have to be a totally different person for that to ever show up, because I'm all the way to one side of the spectrum, not in the middle. Same with my E, I have no I in me at all.
But my 100% P might shift a little on a really good day or a really bad day to only 95% P. But I'm still really, really far from going over the J line.
Because they are sliders, ranges, not digital one or the other, but analogue you have to take in the whole picture, not just the resulting letters.

NOtice that your thinking/feeling is neutral. It's right in the middle. At least this time.
