Does anyone know if there are personality types more accustomed to men who grow their hair long? I am talking about the myers briggs personality test. I am an INTJ personality type. If anyone knows anything it would be an interesting thing to know. I suspect my personality type would be more apt to grow their hair out long.
Cheers
ps. Maybe there is a survey we could do. I remember one user created surveys before..sorry I forgot your name.
i just took that test as well. im also and INTJ. =) i would bet there are a lot of guys here who would get that same result.
Sounds very interesting. Any chance of getting a link or something so i can do it myself?
ISFJ here
Buddy,
It's an interesting question. I suspect that you would find some patterns, but wihtout giving the M-B indicator to a bunch of longhaired guys, you won't know for sure.
My guess is that Introverted Intuitives are a strong possibility. Introverts depend far less on public and social approval for gathering energy. In fact, they tend to avoid crowds and prefer the smaller groups, one on ones and being along. Intutitives enjoy probing their "inner" world, and may have developed this sense of "longhair is who I am".
I am just guessing, though. Is there an online short form of the MB that we could invite guys here to take and report on?

This is pretty good. I've worked with the MB Personality Indicator for years. Take the indicator here:

And it will show you the four areas and how you scored. It will then give you two different links which explain your scores.
There are no right or wrong answers--just a reflection of how you tend to operate.

Fun test!! Thanks for posting the link. I am a strong "ISFJ" and find it intersting from the other posts on this subject, that most longhairs seem to be "introverted"
ISTJ according to the site Robert pointed out!

Buddy, I am also a iNTG, a "mastermind". I just done the test. Most of the questions were pretty definite for me, a few i was unsure of yes or no. Depends on the context and situation of things. They claim that masterminds are very rare and only make up about 1% of the population. I am relatively introverted and i always think about the possible courses of action and analyse the costs and benefits of everything i do in life. The "contingency planning" is something we possess.I am happy with my result.
Well I just got INTP but the last time I took this (Highschool) it was INFP, I think. INTP is probably the best match though.
INFP, healer idealist
All the responses so far have begun with I.
Bingo! A survey was also done on LHC, which is about 90% female, and most came out as introverts also. Whether we like it or not, it seems that most long haired people of either sex are introverts.
Whatever motivates people to go to web-forums might have more to do with personality type than the length of hair. In my experience, very outgoing people don't seek social contact online very often, and thus would not be well represented on this board.The proper way to study this is a random sample of longhairs.
Maybe the way to tell is to run a similar test in other places that aren't associated with hair.
For example, I could post a personality test on groups related to my car. I drive a Dodge Stealth, aka Mitsubishi GTO, aka Mitsubishi 3000GT, and there are a lot of groups for those, albeit none very active. I'm posting a picture of one, not mine, but that's what they look like.
Of course, I could post a personality test in ham radio groups, but I __know__ that would come out with all introverts! (Bill is a ham too, and I'm sure he would agree)
INFP. Seems about right, but it's difficult and often bogus to categorise people.
One more INTJ
