To add to the hijack, I also took the Jung test as well, and got: Your Type is ENFP Extroverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving Strength of the preferences % 33 67 44 39 This, according to Keirsey, makes me a champion idealist! A champion! ---

Resolver. Suits me, I’m a maintenance carpenter. And I’ve held jobs from lumberjack to lab supervisor,usually for two years or so at a time. I’m happy at this job, I’ve had it for 10 years. I’ll stick around. ---

I had a look through the posted results. We do have all 16 personality types represented. The most common was a tie between Resolver and Realist, with 12 persons each. The least common was Provider, with only a single respondent reporting that result, though Go-Getter and Innovator only had two each. The site reports that the most common personality types of those who took the test were Realists, Strategists, Idealists and Innovators. Our results thus far are somewhat different, as our Innovators numbered but two and Idealists were only at five. Interestingly, we have Resolvers tied for first place, while the site’s stats put it about middle-of-the-pack. The site reported the lease common to be Performer, Provider, Mentor, and Go-Getter. Our results are quite similar, with 3, 1, 3, and 2 reported results for those, respectively. Also numbering three or less in oure results were Nurturer and Innovator. Make of this comparison what you will. Oh, and FTR, I’m a Big Thinker. ---

I’m a Realist, perfect for my job as a scientist. Woo-hoo. ---

I’m another of the few Go-Getters. I didn’t really like the test because there were too many questions that required to describe myself based on choices that didn’t fit. When there were choices of three adjectives, none fit me quite right. Also, I was forced to choose between how I see myself and how others see me, and I’m not sure which is more accurate. ---

**Strategist**. Very accurate, I’d say. ---

That thing said I’m a “mastermind” but it was purely based on deciding that I lead with my head instead of my heart. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?! If any of those categories was more pre-determined for me than the others, it would have been that one. I can’t seem to think with anything else. Well, almost. :smack: 😛 So, if you insert the _correct_ answer that they should have labeled me ;), then I’m a “mentor.” Which pretty much describes me 100%. Cute test. If not trying to get on my good side though. Guess I won’t be giving them any extra Brownie points. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-personality-type-are-you/278536.md?page=5)
