Just curious to see if the spread of members here is the same as the general population for the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. (It's a personality/psychological preference test used widely by HR departments and counselors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator - we had to take it in college as part of an organizational management course)
funny you brought this up now, we are studying this in one of my management classes. i'm an isfj, per like 5 tests regarding this our professor has given us,
I took the MBTI last week (for the fifth time since college), and once again I'm an INTJ-The Mastermind.
Me too. It's funny that INTJ's are supposed to make up less than 1% of the population, yet they're by far the most popular choice in the Fchat poll. PS - INTJ types are supposed to be good at medicine.
Dang, that wiki description is like a 5 page fortune cookie! Umm... maybe a 5 page horoscope. or something...
too bad no way to change the vote...that's what i get for being too damn tired when i get to school in the morning
That's the way I felt when I read the reports the first time too: it's like someone sits down and explains the way you think, and who you are inside. It was a real epiphany for me, since I felt like I had so many random pieces in conflict - I just didn't know how they fit together in my brain.
I really couldn't truthfully answer the question: "You are a person somewhat reserved and distant in communication". I am reserved, but I'm never distant in communication. I found I fell in the middle of a few questions. SON OF A *****!!! I get to the very last question and then the interent at works screws up. Ah, it finally worked. ENTJ.
That test must be whacked up. I'm an INTJ too. But holy crappola the Wiki entry has me spot freaking on. INTJs apply (often ruthlessly) the criterion "Does it work?" to everything from their own research efforts to the prevailing social norms. This in turn produces an unusual independence of mind, freeing the INTJ from the constraints of authority, convention, or sentiment for its own sake... INTJs are known as the "Systems Builders" of the types, perhaps in part because they possess the unusual trait combination of imagination and reliability. Whatever system an INTJ happens to be working on is for them the equivalent of a moral cause to an INFJ; both perfectionism and disregard for authority may come into play... Personal relationships, particularly romantic ones, can be the INTJ's Achilles heel... This happens in part because many INTJs do not readily grasp the social rituals... Perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that INTJs really want people to make sense
