What is your Myers-Briggs personality type?

[Bambi_Hassenpfeffer]

ENTJ, but like this:

i-----------|x-------------e
n-------x---|--------------s
f-----------|--------x-----t
p-----------|---------x----j

Either Dopers and crazy racists have something in common, or INTJs just tend to generally be drawn to posting on message boards. I hope it’s the latter.

It’s the latter, for the most part. It’s that preference for asynchronous communication, as referenced in the link I posted.

As for the folks who are poo-pooing this … no, it’s not a perfect system. It does, however, offer some insights, especially about other people when you learn about their type in conjunction with learning about your type.

Just to be clear, I am not poo-pooing the system so much as the exercise we had to endure at work. There was a lot of noise made in the beginning about accommodating peoples’ differences, but at the end of the day, it is still an extrovert’s world and nothing really changed.

Just like your link says, I loathe being lied to or manipulated.

[Lama_Pacos]

ESTP, apparently. With both S and T being expressed by 1 percent, so it’s a razor-thin line there.

Ain’t that the truth. heh

[ENugent]

INTP, but very close to the line on both E/I and on T/F.

[elfkin477]

According to feeling types I’m “dismissive,” “arrogant,” “overly critical of others,” and “lack empathy,” so I’m the perfect INTJ.

INFP
Like this:
I-----------X|-------------E
N–X--------|-------------S
FX----------|-------------T
PX----------|-------------J

That’s almost me exactly! I’ve even tested as an E once or twice.

[Rubystreak]

I’m an ENFJ, and I think it’s me and one other guy on here and that’s it.

[Kimmy_Gibbler]

Mine usually come out as INTJ or ENTJ, or in other words, I am a Mastermind Fieldmarshal.

I don’t take it particularly seriously.

This diagrams my own configuration very closely.

[fusoya]

ISTJ - Serious, quiet, earn success by concentration and thoroughness. Practical, orderly, matter of fact, logical, realistic and dependable. See to it that everything is well organized. Take responsibility. Make up their own minds as to what should be accomplished and work toward it steadily, regardless of protests or distractions. And yep, I have Aspergers too.

[RedBloom]

INFJ here!

It’s frightening how accurate the description are…

[Engineer_Dude]

ENTJ, but the “E” only had a strength of 1. Ask me tomorrow and I could be an INTJ.

[Polly_Glot]

@Claire_Beauchamp

INTJ. I flip-flop between J and P, but lately have been J. The theory is that the older you get, the more “you” you are. INTJ is one of the rarest types, and the two or three least common types for women.

As for the folks who are poo-pooing this … no, it’s not a perfect system. It does, however, offer some insights, especially about other people when you learn about their type in conjunction with learning about your type. I had done the MB before, but several years ago also did it at work with my dept. During the group debriefing, there were tons of a-ha moments. The other INTJ and I finally got the boss to understand why the idea of working lunches was so very distasteful to us. It wasn’t about us being unreasonably protective of non-work time, but just the fact that we needed a solitary break in the middle of the day to recharge. Even helping people understand the difference between I and E can go a long way towards smoothing relationships. I’m not sitting quietly in another room because I hate you, I’m sitting quietly in another room because I need some time without external stimulation.

This is the best description of an INTJ I’ve seen – slightly tongue in cheek, but oh so true.

YES. YES. YES. This. I test INTJ, and desperately need that middle of the day recharge. The unwritten rule always seems to be, sit around and shoot the shit with colleagues during lunch instead, but isn’t that what we sit around at our desks all day long doing anyway? Gah!

[Maeglin]

@Claire_Beauchamp

Ain’t that the truth. heh

“You mean you don’t find brainstorming and alignment meetings invigorating and refreshing?”

I even forwarded the Jonathan Rausch article about introversion to some people I work with for shiggles.

[Shot_From_Guns]

I think the last time I took one of the internetty versions of this, I came out as ENTP.

[Yllaria]

According to the linked quiz, I’m an INTP with a 12% T.

To answer corkboard’s question I don’t really follow it, but I’m aware of my designation in the system. I’m also a Capricorn (I don’t follow that either), a scanner (rather than a delver), a Relator (rather than a Director, Socializer, or Thinker), and an RIA (Reality - Information - Art, from the Strong Interest Inventory).

What can I say. When I see a personality sorting system, I like to fiddle with it and see where it slots me.

[Shot_From_Guns]

Hrm, either I misremembered the previous result or it changed. Taking the test linked above, I’m considered an ENTJ. (Strength of the preferences: E 44%, N 50%, T 1%, J 33%).

Hahaha, from one of the explanation sites linked above:

[ENTJs] often challenge people’s statements and behaviors, expecting that others will defend them and that, as a result, mutual learning will take place. ENTJ s admire and seek out people who are knowledgeable and who stand up to them, say what they think and argue persuasively.

Not that these things are necessarily 100% accurate, but boy have I been running into problems because of **that **lately.
