    INTP for me.

    INTP types are quiet, thoughtful, analytical individuals who enjoy spending long periods of time on their own, working through problems and forming solutions. They are curious about systems and how things work. Consequently, they are frequently found in careers such as science, architecture, and law. INTPs tend to be less at ease in social situations or in the "caring professions," although they enjoy the company of those who share their interests. They also tend to be impatient with the bureaucracy, the rigid hierarchies, and the politics prevalent in many professions. They prefer to work informally with others as equals.

    INTPs organize their understanding of any topic by articulating principles, and they are especially drawn to theoretical constructs. Having articulated these principles for themselves, they can demonstrate remarkable skill in explaining complex ideas to others in simple terms, especially in writing. On the other hand, their ability to grasp complexity may also lead them to provide overly detailed explanations of "simple" ideas, and listeners may judge that the INTP makes things more difficult than they are. To the INTP, however, this is incomprehensible: They are merely presenting all the information.

    Given their independent nature, INTPs may prefer working alone to leading or following in a group. During interactions with others, if INTPs are focused on gathering information, they may seem oblivious, aloof, or even rebellious—when in fact they are concentrating on listening and understanding. However, INTPs' extraverted intuition often gives them a quick wit, especially with language. They may defuse tension through comical observations and references. They can be charming, even in their quiet reserve, and are sometimes surprised by the high esteem in which their friends and colleagues hold them.

    When INTPs feel insulted, however, they may respond with sudden and crushing criticism. After such an incident, INTPs are likely to be as bewildered as the recipient. They have broken the rules of debate and exposed their raw emotions. To INTPs, this is the crux of the problem: emotions must be dealt with logically—because improperly handled emotions, INTPs believe, can only harm.


    I could say that this description fits me but that is probably already implied because I posted it. :)

    The IT department tried to get employees to take this "test".

    I flatly refused. Work performance is based on results, not "personality" profiling.
    What's next? DNA based job placement?

    "Process oriented" is too often another way of saying "just going through the motions".

    ENTJ, seems to fit. Interesting test, funny how many businesses now use similar questions on job apps.

    INTP

    I find the poll results very interesting right now. I was under the impression that only 4% of overall national results are INTP, and we (Ferrari owners) are at 14% right now. That is almost 3.5 times the national average for this personality type.

    What could this signify?

    (yeah, my INTP is showing. LOL )

    I also find it interesting only 1% of the population is supposed to be INTJ yet here we are at 30% ! Thats kind of crazy. I have to assume A) there are going to be more INTJ on a Ferrari website and B) some people are going to not be entirely honest on the test.

    Makes me think about my own answers since I scored INTJ and if I subconsciously checked the answers I wanted as opposed to what was accurate. Always tricky with these types of things.

    Of course my friends said I definately fit the INTJ description.

    I'm a ISTJ

    ISTJs thrive on organization. They keep their lives and environments well-regulated. They bring painstaking attention to detail in their work and will not rest until a job is well completed. They are often dissatisfied with unresolved issues, whether in life or in fiction.

    ISTJs are faithful, logical, organized, sensible, and earnest traditionalists. They earn success by thoroughness and dependability. Shutting out distractions, they take a practical, logical approach to their endeavors. Realistic and responsible, they work steadily toward their goals. They enjoy creating order in both their professional and personal lives.

    Despite their focus on their internal world, ISTJs prefer dealing with the present and the factual. Keen observers of life, they weigh various options when making decisions. ISTJs are well-prepared for most eventualities and have a good understanding of most situations. They believe in practical objectives, and they value traditions and loyalty.

    here's a new version that apparently is more accurate. takes longer as you have to pick positive and negative descriptions of yourself. it's a hybrid version if you will, still as it describes me as an INTP I find the classification of people into general groups not accurate as we are individual independent organisms that a general classification does not work on but more of an organized chaos. So maybe it works it on some level :D

    Not shocking that there are a bunch of INJTs on an internet forum. Look at the description of such that was listed by detailers paradise. Fits the mode of communication very nicely.

    I haven't taken the test so not sure what I am.

    I found this list on my type (INTJ). Seems pretty accurate:

    How to deal with INTJ

    1. Be willing to back up your statements with facts - or at least some pretty sound reasoning.

    2. Don't expect them to respect you or your viewpoints just because you say so. INTJ respect must be earned.

    3. Be willing to concede when you are wrong. The average INTJ respects the truth over being "right". Withdraw your erroneous comment and admit your mistake and they will see you as a very reasonable person. Stick to erroneous comments and they will think you are an irrational idiot and treat everything you say as being questionable.

    4. Try not to be repetitive. It annoys them.

    5. Do not feed them a line of bull.

    6. Expect debate. INTJs like to tear ideas apart and prove their worthiness. They will even argue a point they don't actually support for the sake of argument.

    7. Do not mistake the strength of your conviction with the strength of your argument. INTJs do not need to believe in a position to argue it or argue it well. Therefore, it will take more than fervor to sway them.

    8. Do not be surprised at sarcasm.

    9. Remember that INTJs believe in workable solutions. They are extremely open-minded to possibilities, but they will quickly discard any idea that is unfeasible. INTJ open-mindedness means that they are willing to have a go at an idea by trying to pull it apart. This horrifies people who expect oohs and ahhs and reverence. The ultimate INTJ insult to an idea is to ignore it, because that means it's not even interesting enough to deconstruct.

    This also means that they will not just accept any viewpoint that is presented to them. The bottom line is "Does it work?" - end discussion.

    10. Do not expect INTJs to actually care about how you view them. They already know that they are arrogant bastards with a morbid sense of humor. Telling them the obvious accomplishes nothing.

    Let's give this a bump.

    I'm in a course called 'Finding Yourself', it's a required course for me. I paid $20 to take the Myers Briggs test, another mandatory thing. I just got my results back and I'm an INTJ :eek:

    I don't think I am a 'J', Judging, but I scored the highest on that one. I do like to have stuff planned out, but I also like to do things spur of the moment.

    I'm surprised at the overwhelming NT response. Makes me wonder if Ferrari's marketing people ever reviewed their fan and client base with these metrics.

    Frankly, I would expect NTs, with their technical interest and perfectionist tendencies, to be Porsche fans, not Ferrari! ;)
