I got IcRcAu, which I guess is supposed to be the circus archetype or something. Im just a clown living in clown world 🤡....
 
thats supposedly the rarest personality type but 6 people in this thread admit to having it
Same with INTJ, but I don’t think it’s because people are lying. I think anyone on a racist gang stalker autism forum probably is a little bit weird and different from the average Joe.

For example if you gave this test to everyone on your football team, you’d all get the same few personality types too.
 
Very interesting. It makes me wonder if there were other factors you could use to “balance” certain results, like seeing how mental illnesses would affect the outcome.
 
...how the fuck did this test know I have a tendency to radical politics and mass prejudices when none of the questions even touched on that stuff.
While the testing system itself is obviously extremely outdated, it wouldn't surprise me at all if there were  some validity to it. The guy who wrote it may have been a Cold War-era glowie with weird pet theories, but he was still an actual psychologist who would have been familiar enough with the research up to that point. Jokes aside, mine's not a perfect description (thank God), but it's dead-on about some points. I've taken more modern professional assessments, and the results have a lot of overlap in areas specific enough that you wouldn't include them in a deliberately overbroad description. They agree on me being intensely emotional in a very internalized way, and that I tend to do better in situations with clearly defined roles. It leaves out a lot of things that are now considered extremely significant, like openness to experience and conscientiousness, and the questions are oversimplified, but it was still intended to be an actual screening tool. It isn't one, or at least it isn't a very reliable one, but it was one of many stumbling steps to the slightly more accurate system we have now.

So, not anywhere close to being as good as a modern, professionally-administered personality inventory, which is still going to be reductivist, but also not quite as bad as a horoscope reading. On a 1 to 10 scale of reliability, where 1 is being so vague that it's applicable to anyone and 10 is a modern (still highly imperfect, but much better validated) personality assessment tool, it's probably around a 2 or 3 overall. Reliability in areas that the author would have been more focused on, though, like the tendency toward political/religious radicalism, would have probably been a little higher. That's what he was really looking for. It's not too surprising that he figured out some genuine predictive factors, even if it's mostly just fun.

I can't get over how mental I apparently am.

Holy shit, you're Russell Greer! We finally found his lurking account! :lol:
 
I got a normal-ish result!

EcRcAu



self-disciplined, appropriately affective, and is usually socially relating and active. He guards against fickle involvements, but feels responsible and affectionate toward those who are defined as appropriate objects of such attention.

I think there's more of this type on here considering it would love hating on lolcows
Although the i*f*a is humane and tolerant by training, he can be very rejecting and even cruel toward any deviation or transgression from his accepted values and standards.
 
This cluster may include people who range from being highly abstract religious and moral philosophers to self-involved and insulated schizophrenics.
will sublimate or displace his primitive autistic tendencies into socially appropriate channels.
Do I have undiagnosed weaponised autism? (Iu Fu Ac)
 
Took this a couple years ago and it called me a catatonic (?) retard. Curious to see if that still holds up.
 
Primitive Type: IRA
01.png
Primitive Type: IRA
The [IRA] is one of the most deceptive adjustments andis particularly difficult to describe. Early behavioral passivity ischaracteristic and seems attributable to the fact that the activity ofthe Primitive is primarily ideational. The random, primitive motorbehavior of the [E] is obvious to the external observer and can bereadily described. The random, primitive ideational behavior of the infant can only be inferred. However, the psychological commitmentto this type of activity results in a lessening of motor activity,hence the use of the term passive to describe behavior.

Obviously,the infant does respond to external stimuli. However, the externalstimuli usually must be strong or intense to arouse a reaction. Also,if the infant is "preoccupied" with mental or ideational activity,the process of interrupting the preoccupation in order to respond toan external stimulus is more disrupting to the child than to the[E]. As a result, the "startle reaction" of the child is moremarked. The child soon learns to be apprehensive while engaging inideational activity and usually begins to seek some kind of externalsupport on which he can depend for succor and protection. This shouldbe contrasted with the "comfort" the [E] infant feels when respondingand interacting, and the apprehension and need for support he feelswhen compelled to be mentally occupied and passive. A fundamentalsignificance of this difference is that the [E] child reacts to andbecomes involved with most any external figure who is warm andprotective, while the child learns to respond to and depend uponfamiliar figures, primarily. The relationship of mother and child (asa rule) has more significance to the child than to the [E] child.The child has greater ability to retain and remember pastexperience than does the [E] child who is inclined to be fickle andforgetful. Depending upon life circumstances and the development ofdiscipline and control, the individual tends to acquire readily averbal (or mental) memory while the [E] individual readily acquires avisual (or motor) memory. Symbols and abstractions are, as a result,more real for the Primitive and are developed more rapidly.

Amajor problem of the individual during his formative years is thathe invents symbols and abstractions having only personal or individualmeaning. This primitive autism may interfere with language developmentin the child because he has little need for the socially relevantsymbols. The highly intelligent [E] child may learn language veryrapidly because he encounters little interference and has a strongdrive to relate. The child has little drive to relate and isusually satisfied with his personal symbolism. If the individuals inhis environment learn to respond to his expressed need for succor, the will initially have little urge to expand or develop hiscommunication ability. Private language, therefore, is much morecommon in the developing child than in the [E] child.

In mostinstances, the [IRA] baby is described as a "good" baby. This usuallymeans the child is self-reliant (i.e. he entertains himself for longperiods without involvement and activity); he makes few demands andthese are usually related to his need for food and care; he respondsmore actively to the people he knows (the baby will cry when givento strangers and will resist care from people he does not know andrecognize). Thus, the tendency to provoke "mother to jealousy" --typical of the [ERA] baby -- is less commonly seen in the [IRA] baby.However, the protectiveness and close relations (succor relation) of amother with her child may very well may precipitate resentment ina husband or in the other children. By the same token, the child,as he matures, demands time and attention of his "succor figure" andmay be hostile and destructive towards those who interfere with thisrelationship.

The maturity rate of the [IRA] can be surprisinglysmooth. Under direction and guidance from an external figure, the[IRA] is very imitative. Unlike the [ERA] and [ERU], who perseverate abehavioral activity because they become involved with it, the [IRA](under direction) will go just far enough in a behavioral activity tosatisfy his director and then will relapse into mental activity(where, of course, the [IR] is more inclined to perseverate). The[IRA] individual's behavioral maturity rate is, then, a definitefunction of the specific guidance and direction he receives.

The [IRA]is, however, susceptible to mixed influences. He will not only respondto the direction and control of anyone who provides it, he will alsoattract considerable competition for that control. Conflict betweenparents and grandparents, between parents and teachers all can havemuch influence on the development of the [IRA]. He is in definitedanger of becoming all things to all people, while remaining anindependent, self-sufficient person.

The [IRA] will be aninteresting, attractive infant and will receive a considerable amountof attention. Actually, many [IRA] babies will find the attention andinvolvement unsatisfactory and frustrating, since the naturalinclination is more for self-sufficiency and self-preoccupation. As a result, there will be a tendency for early resistance and hostility(a determination to be let alone) in the [IRA]. Negativism (but morepassive than in the [ERU] and [EFU]) is a general characteristic ofthe early adjustment of the [IRA]. This usually takes the form of sometype of irritating activity that will cause temporary abandonment ofthe child. In other words, the [IRA] child tends to be negativistic toavoid attention, while the [ERU] is negativistic to gain attention.This characteristic of self-centeredness and psychologicalindependence also reinforces the [IRA] child's dependency upon thefigure who "understands" him and makes any separation from this figurea traumatic event in his early development. Also, the shyness in the[IRA] is quite different from the embarrassment of the [ERU] (who isafraid his emotional needs will not be reciprocated). This generaldifference between the emotional dependency of the [E] child and thesuccor dependency of the child is a key concept in the entiredescriptive system.

The initial passivity, imitativeness and clingingdependency of the [IRA] child is generally only suitable during theearly years of his life. By the time he is ready to start to school,he is under considerable pressure to become more independent andresponsible. Since the [IRA] child (because he is [A]) can mask hismental preoccupation by skillful role playing, he can learn to beadept at keeping psychological distance by his external social role.In many instances, after a traumatic period early in his school yearswhen he has had to adapt to a strange new environment and has learnedto adjust to the rejection by his initial succor figures, he is likelyto be very well behaved and apparently well adapted. He has learned touse his social role-playing to keep people at a distance while at thesame time appearing to be more involving and relating than he is. To alarge extent, the teachers are preoccupied with the "problem" childrenand assume the [IRA] is making a much better adaptation than mayactually be true. With a minimum of discipline (or effort), the [IRA]child can do well in most primary mental activities and there isusually a tendency to overestimate his mental ability. Generallyspeaking, the [IRA] child is credited with excellent mental and socialmaturity (as compared with (1) the [IRU], who is usually thought to have excellent social maturity but weak or erratic mental ability; (2)the [ERA], who is considered to have excellent social maturity butlazy mental habits; and (3) the [ERU], who is considered to have poorsocial maturity but good mental maturity).

Adolescence is usually themajor crisis period for the [IRA]. At this time the pseudo-maturityof his childhood becomes more obvious and he is under greater stressthan at any other period. During this period, he is very likely tobecome more negativistic and hostile, primarily because he isexpected to abandon his succor dependency relationships and take moreresponsibility for himself and his sustenance. At the same time, thereare more emotional demands on the [IRA], i.e. he has learned to be aninviting, involving person on the surface, and as such, attractsothers. Since the [IRA] is losing his familiar succor figures (theyare forcing him to be independent), he begins to be very attracted tonew potential succor figures. The adolescent [IRA] searches quiteimmaturely for security and self-sufficiency. Teenage marriage,unrealistic attitudes towards work, and running away from home (eitherliterally or in the figurative sense of becoming psychologicallyisolated and preoccupied) are common to this group. In addition, theideational splitting (i.e. the autistic inner experience that is maskedby conventional social role playing) becomes obvious, inappropriateand disabling.

Apparent maturity in childhood andequally apparent immaturity in adolescence are characteristic of the[IRA]. More so than most other Primitive Types, the ultimateadjustment of the [IRA] is determined by his adolescent experience.

I think I actually did make my own form of hieroglyphs

Basic : Ic Ru Ac
02.png
The e*ru* has not only repressed his internalized or ideational tendencies, but has also denied or reacted against social-interpersonal relationships. The independence and self-reliance of the e*ra [IcRuAu] is also characteristic of the e*ru*, but the role playing skill and interpersonal exploitation are not present. As a result, the e*ru* is an active athletic person, but is much more seclusive and socially withdrawn than the e*ra. [IcRuAu] Fundamentally, he is a seductive and interesting person in the same way as the e*ra, [IcRuAu] since both adjustments stem from the primitive IRA orientation. Negativism, rejection, and hostility are more apparent in the e*ru* than in the e*ra, [IcRuAu] since he must defend himself against the involving attempts of others. The eru* [EuRuAc] and the i*ru* [EcRuAc] have the dual problem of defending themselves against the involving attempts of others and controlling or repressing their own needs for involving themselves. This need is not present in the e*ru*, so his negativism and defensiveness are not as sharp and punishing. The eru* [EuRuAc] is most likely to be negativistic toward those who are the most attractive; in this sense, there is some selectivity in his hostile behavior. The e*ru* does not have the same ability to be selective, since his own involvement needs are not as well established. He tends, thus, to be generally rejecting. Since he does not know what to protect against, he defends against everyone. He is as a sullen, defensive person who appears always to have a chip on his shoulder. He usually commits himself to very intensive physical pursuits or, in some cases, to intense mental activities, as a means of avoiding social-interpersonal responsibilities.

The e*ru* has the same self-oriented motivation as the e*ra; rarely, if ever, does he become dedicated to a cause or a principle unless it is frankly self-fulfilling. He can develop marked skill in well-defined motor-manipulative tasks and highly structured mental operations with external application. Some highly effective engineers are found in this cluster, but in most cases, they are highly independent, self-sufficient, and demanding of their own prerogatives. Pilots, particularly those who have no interest or desire to be responsible for others, are common here, also. All manner of men willing to take personal risks for high stakes come from this group.

The primary problem of the e*ru* is that he tends to misperceive and misinterpret his external environment. In the extreme, this can result in psychotic paranoid delusions that are bizarre and unrealistic. In the better adapted e*ru*, this may take the form of profound self-confidence coupled with a distinct suspicion of the ability and competence of others. The e*ru [IcRuUu] * may undertake and successfully complete tasks and activities that other more perceptive individuals will either deem impossible or unrealistic.

The e*ru* is a brusque, impatient person who has limited compassion and psychological understanding. He is rarely deliberately cruel, but he is unfeeling and insulated toward the needs and demands of others He is a good supervisor and leader in the sense that he will not tolerate incompetence or lack of confidence. When he sees what he interprets as weakness, he is ruthless and unfeeling in eliminating the offender. The e*ru* is almost universally feared and respected, but he rarely engenders the bitter hatred characteristically directed against the ira* [IuRuUc] and the era*. [EuRuUc] The i*ra [EcRuAu] and the e*ra [IcRuAu] are also apt to be more hated than loved.

I can't get over how mental I apparently am.
You are officially designated as an Evil retard by the glowies.
 
I'm seeing alot of IuFcUu, is that why we're on kiwifarms?:lol: Rare my ass.
In any case, I don't quite get the results, it's short compared to the other types I'm seeing in this thread. Apparently we are retarded, emotionally retarded autistic schizoids that are also childish and requires constant care and attention?
It's like we're collecting bad qualities like Pokemon, haha.

I spent abit of time reading the thread, I guess I was running on the new definitions rather than the old ones that this assessment uses.
I guess some of it makes more sense when it's the older definitions, but I was never schizophrenic or narcissistic(interested in the self?) in my life, so I might have chosen some inaccurate answers. Definitely autistic tho, I never really relied on external validation even when I was young, I always brush off praise instead of taking it to heart.

This is a reasonably effective adaptation of the primitive IFU orientation; it is relatively more common for women than for men. The ifu pattern is quite similar to the ifa* [IuFuUc] adjustment, but represents more individualism and less conventionality. While the ifa* [IuFuUc] tries to establish a uniform role that gives him as little social-interpersonal anxiety as possible, the ifu is both less conforming and less conventional; snobbery, pretentiousness, and hauteur are less likely because the ifu is relatively oblivious to his social image and less consistent in maintaining it. However, as he reaches maturity, the ifu is likely to be more aware of his failure to pay enough attention to his image; social-interpersonal anxiety is quite common in the adult.

Fundamentally, the ifu is a person with so much intellectual curiosity that he can, for long periods of time, become so involved in his own interests and attitudes that he has little time or inclination to be aware of the other people in his environment. The ir*u [IuFcUu] is completely self-centered in a narcissistic way. His self-centeredness is directed toward the acquisition of knowledge and skills; what he learns makes his behavior more appropriate and more useful, socially, than that of the ir*u. [IuFcUu] The ifu is self-centered because he is so busy getting knowledge of an intellectual and abstract nature that he misses opportunities to acquire social and pragmatic skills. He is usually a serious, dedicated student who learns his lessons well and finds sustaining pleasure from the nuances of what he studies. Because he commits so much of his psychological energy to his sort of activity, he has little breadth or versatility in anything other than intellectual interests. The ifa* [IuFuUc] spends much of his time trying to develop a social role, for he has a strong sense of social-interpersonal responsibility as well as personal integrity and ethical standards. The ifu develops his ethics, his principles, and his integrity, but often does so at the expense of any kind of conventional social-interpersonal orientation.

Individuality, integrity, and intellectual specialization, then, are the primary characteristics of the ifu, particularly if he is average or better in intelligence. Like the e*fu, [IcFuUu] he chooses rather early in life the areas of his interest and application and sticks to these assiduously. Unlike the e*fu, [IcFuUu] however, his interests are more diffuse, artistic, creative, and abstract. Thus, he is more philosophical, contemplative, evaluative, and mystical in orientation.

Art, music, literature, and social studies are more likely to interest him than mathematics, science, and economics. He may be quite imaginative in the areas of his interest, but is not as imaginative as the ifu*. [IuFuAc] The ifu is succor dependent in that the milieu in which he lives must give him support and direction. Unlike the ifa*, [IuFuUc] he does not feel, even intellectually, any need to be socially active and aggressive. There is an element of "the world owes me a living" to his adjustment because he is inclined to believe that he deserves acceptance and understanding for his intellectual productivity rather than for his social perceptivity and interpersonal activities. This attitude makes the ifu careless, indifferent, or insulated about his social relationships. As a result, he is often considered different, unusual, queer, eccentric, or odd. Since structure, form, and security are so important to the ifu, it is important to understand the nature of this need. The drive of the ifu is toward creativity and imagination; thus, he must live in a milieu that does not thwart or frustrate this need. Concepts such as seniority, tenure, accreditation, and academic freedom become very important to him because these frameworks give him the freedom to be different and, at the same time, guarantee that he will not be punished for his difference. In some ways, this is similar to the need of the i*fu [EcFuUu] and i*f*u [EcRcUu] for status and recognition. Dynamically, however, these groups are more concerned about discrimination because they are disliked or misunderstood, than about lack of opportunity to be creative and imaginative. In addition, the i*fu [EcFuUu] and i*f*u [EcRcUu] are much less passive and spontaneously contemplative than is the ifu.

am i literally hitler yet
 
forgot the final test thing, got a pretty interesting one

heres the highlight
Many of the Nazi concentration camp commandants, and some of the more fringed members of anti-integration groups, probably come from this adjustment pattern.

Individuals with this adjustment pattern are the most physically active and socially aggressive of all the primitive IFA adjustments. The e*r*a is a rugged, forthright, and highly volatile person. In essence, he is reacting against his tendency toward autism and succor dependence; as such, he makes a total commitment to his external environment. Of all the basic adjustments, this involves the most exploitation of social versatility to gain personnel ends. The e*r*a does not have the defensiveness of the i*r*a [EcFcAu] who must prove that he is not vulnerable to involvement and seduction; nor does he have the fickleness of the er* a who exploits his involvements for momentary gratification. The e*r*a is deliberate, calculating, and cunning in his social-interpersonal relationships, and protective and defensive about his inner thoughts and intimate feelings. He usually goes out of his way to avoid expressing sentiment, feeling, compassion, or any kind of idealism. He thinks of himself as a practical, pragmatic, and rational person.

While there is a sadistic quality in the adjustment, the e*r*a does not have the ability to recognize and respond to individual qualities in a single person as does the er*a. [EuFcAu] Thus, his sadism has a generalized quality. Mass prejudice is very common among members of this cluster and, depending on his own needs, he can condemn an entire subculture. Many of the Nazi concentration camp commandants, and some of the more fringed members of anti-integration groups, probably come from this adjustment pattern. i

Fundamentally, the e*r*a adjustment is very self-centered and narcissistic. Preoccupation with physical well-being is particularly common. Often, the e*r*a is a highly athletic person, but he is more apt to be a physical culturalist and very individualistic in his activity. Weight lifting, wrestling, boxing, and gymnastics are the major sports that interest him. It is not usual for the e*r*a to be very much preoccupied with sex, ranging from lusty, self-involved sexuality (satyriasis) to inhibited or suppressed sexuality with concomitant morbid self-concern. Concern with cleanliness and fastidiousness about personal care are common manifestations. Phobias and compulsions associated with feelings of cleanliness and personal care are not uncommon.

The major problem of the e*r*a is his moodiness and lack of control. Unexpected rage, temper tantrums, and physical agitation of all sorts are very common. This moodiness and emotional volatility are particularly disabling because they are in conflict with the social versatility that is also characteristic. Wide variations in personality can occur in the e*r*a adjustment because, on the one hand, he is socially responsive and smooth in his social relationships, but on the other hand, he complicates his life by his irascibility and temperament. This conflict may become more difficult to manage as the e*r*a grows older; obsessive-compulsive features may appear as a defense against either versatility or temper. However, this obsessive-compulsive is very vulnerable to explosive and destructive emotionality. It is not unusual for the e*r*a to become very involved with religion, system, or rituals that offer some promise to help him gain self-control and emotional discipline. Under stress, however, he may turn violently against these systems, only later to be contrite and penitent. The sometimes-member of Alcoholics Anonymous who keeps coming back after each binge, and the back-sliding sinner who finds salvation anew at each spring revival are examples of this adjustment. In a sense, the e*r*a cannot live with himself, but he is too active and compelling to be be very successful in living with others. Escape drinking to insensibility, knocking oneself out with drugs, or actual suicide are common in this adjustment pattern.
 
This is the era where only having a few close friends from childhood and no career and several hobbies rolling by the your mid 20s were seen as highly unusual and pathological
this was an era when a man could literally maintain 2 or 3 families on one income and they literally did give careers to any white man with a firm handshake.

the foreman at my great-grandpa's factory job used to be an illiterate nightclub bouncer. how that correlates i don't know, but some higher up thought that skill set was basically the same.
the description says its one of the rarest types and near impossible to test, but its clearly the most common type for this thread.
it's short compared to the other types I'm seeing in this thread
its because they were so rare, this personality was a glitch in the system, the bug they never bothered fixing. The results so rarely happened that they don't bother elaborating.
I never really relied on external validation even when I was young, I always brush off praise instead of taking it to heart.
thats actually very weird, normies need validation. they go on gameshows and win because they love money, you play games because you want to win.

if you won the lottery it wouldn't feel exciting the way it does to normies because you didn't do anything. but if you did some dumb task like throw a shoe into a garbage can, you'd love it more because you accomplished a goal you yourself set. Normies aren't like that
 
I got i*f*u (EcRcUu).
It basically called me an "um, ackshyually" neckbeard lmao
the i*f*u is intellectually aggressive, a behavior that frequently takes the form of argumentativeness, intellectual arrogance, and persistence that is frequently interpreted as
stubbornness.
He takes himself and his interests very seriously and resents anyone who does not do the same.
the i*f*u is a highly competitive, but definitely individualistic person. He is very sensitive to criticism, but conversely, very critical of others.
The cluster includes individuals who unrealistically and inappropriately demand recognition and attention that they do not deserve, as well as highly skilled scholars who deserve recognition, but usually have a flavor of arrogance, smugness, and self-centeredness in their adjustment.
Aggressive cynicism, depressive episodes, authoritarian negativism, impatience, and paranoid-like suspicion are common manifestations of this adjustment.
This is primarily an introspective adjustment somewhat similar to ef*u, [EuRcUu] also from the primitive ERU orientation. Unlike the i*f*a*, [EcRcUc] the i*f*u has not striven for a well-defined social role and, thus, does not have the same need to be conventional, conforming, and socially disciplined. The i*f*u tries to satisfy his need for emotional involvement and emotional support by indirect means, through intellectual achievement It is characteristic for him to be socially negativistic in that he avoid impressionistic, casual relationships. On the other hand, the i*f*u is intellectually aggressive, a behavior that frequently takes the form of argumentativeness, intellectual arrogance, and persistence that is frequently interpreted as stubbornness.

Self-centeredness and preoccupation with self is present, but there is usually an attempt -- often quite successful if intellectual level is sufficiently high -- to give some social value to this. The ef*u [EuRcUu] is inclined to escape through daydreaming, reading fiction, or going to the movies, while the i*f*u becomes quite intense by doing what he considers to be useful. Whenever he feels inclined to daydream or escape in a frivolous manner, he feels anxious, disturbed, and uncomfortable because he interprets this as a sign that he is losing his mental discipline. To a great extent, then, the i*f*u is hostile, suspicious, and contemptuous of anything that tempts him in directions away from what he considers intellectually proper. He takes himself and his interests very seriously and resents anyone who does not do the same.

A primary liability of this adjustment is that the i*f*u is so preoccupied with self and so concerned with his own interests that he has little or no patience with the attitudes and interests of others. The ef*u [EuRcUu] is passive and withdrawn, dreaming of being important or the center of interest, but the i*f*u will be much more active; he insists on being treated as though he were important or will demand aggressively, but often ineptly, that he be the center of attention. The ultimate success of this sort of self-reference depends, of course, on the ability of the i*f*u to earn the right to be recognized. The cluster includes individuals who unrealistically and inappropriately demand recognition and attention that they do not deserve, as well as highly skilled scholars who deserve recognition, but usually have a flavor of arrogance, smugness, and self-centeredness in their adjustment.

It follows from the above, that the i*f*u is a highly competitive, but definitely individualistic person. He is very sensitive to criticism, but conversely, very critical of others. He rarely is a good sport and has great difficulty accepting defeat or lack of recognition. He is jealous of others, particularly when he believes that they have not earned their recognition, and is very susceptible to depression over the injustice and unfairness of life. Since he can usually control or submerge these feelings by mental discipline and activity, the i*f*u is a very hard worker with unusual persistence. He is extremely impatient with distraction, very sensitive to lack of interest or indifference on the part of others, and can become infuriated with people who interrupt, or who do not pay attention to him. Conversely, he can be very abrupt with those who bore or do not interest him.

Curiosity, particularly of an intellectual nature, is characteristic of the i*f*u. Even here, however, there is a self-centered cast. His philosophy is usually concerned with the self; "What am I?" In religion, he seeks a highly personal deity who must understand him; in personal relations, he seeks to discover what others think of him. The i*f*u is frequently a crusader, but, unlike the i*f*a*, [EcRcUc] he does not champion the right ideas or attitudes for the group. He is much more inclined to be a psychologist than a sociologist because of the individuality of the subject matter. He is more inclined to be a historian than a political scientist because of the personal detachment and independence of the latter. He is more apt to be an economist than a businessman because of the mental discipline involved. Physical sciences are also of interest. As a scientist, scholar, or intellectual, he is dedicated, hard working, and usually competent. Most i*f*u prefer research to practical application and will seek out such roles. The i*f*u is inclined to set very high standards for himself, and since he is rarely able to compromise, he is often unable to reach the goal for which he strives. He is likely to react to such frustration with bitterness and hostility. Aggressive cynicism, depressive episodes, authoritarian negativism, impatience, and paranoid-like suspicion are common manifestations of this adjustment.
 
IFU + IuFuUo (ifa*)
There's nothing for IuFuUo so they just did IuFuUc instead.
I am schizoid Helen Keller with autism.
I must say though, the ending on "won't accept anything determined by an authority" but also "gullible" seems quite contradictory.
Edit: I'm apparently the only person who got IuFuUc in this thread.
Apparently it's not all that common even if the deviation. Apparently criticism is a boon to people of this personality type, so I'm probably inoculated from being a lolcow. Or an Idubbbz or Nick Rieketa-type at least.

IFU and IuFcUu (ir*u)

The description of IFU itself is pretty spot on, and while I wasn't initially amazed with the description for IuFcUu, I do think it's technically accurate. Like some of the other posts I'm not exactly super convinced of how trustworthy this test is over any other one, but the phrasing is actually pretty nice to read with how it just sorta beats you over the head with the negatives of the personality type. Basically says I've never developed social skills past the surface level childhood ones, which means I'm at best socially inept, and at worst, effectively delusional. Mine doesn't have any rape or murder things like some other posters so that's cool.
