Interesting. I have two reddit accounts that I use for different subreddits, and they got totally different results.

One is my main that I use for most boring stuff, some niche stuff - it's one where if someone knew me well, they'd probably figure out it's mine - and I'm ok with that. The other is for discussion topics that I don't want tied to me in an obvious way (ie, politics, religion). I won't share the name of either account, but it's interesting that the "main" account, got 60% ESFP, and "discussion" account got 40% INTJ/INTP and 30% INFP/INFJ.

I don't feel like my writing style is incredibly different between each account, so I wonder if the specific subreddits that a user prefers contribute to the label. It's either that, or I really do self-censor more dramatically than I had imagined.

Edit: I've always got INTP or INTJ in past MBTI tests - though it's been near a decade since I took one last.

Back when I got tested, one of the smart things the huckster said was that we can adopt personas as needed, but not being our natural state it takes more effort.
