What is your MBTI personality type?

[mrsimperless]

So what is everyone's Myers-Briggs personality type? For some reason this subject fascinates me.

Here is a site to take a quick test:

hxxp://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp

And here are some descriptions of each type:

ISTJ - The Duty Fulfillers
ESTJ - The Guardians
ISFJ - The Nurturers
ESFJ - The Caregivers
ISTP - The Mechanics
ESTP - The Doers
ESFP - The Performers
ISFP - The Artists
ENTJ - The Executives
INTJ - The Scientists
ENTP - The Visionaries
INTP - The Thinkers
ENFJ - The Givers
INFJ - The Protectors
ENFP - The Inspirers
INFP - The Idealists

The site I've linked to with the profiles has some good information on there for dealing with weaknesses, choosing careers, doing things that fulfill your needs and help in general based on your type. There can be a bit of gray area depending on how many categories you fall more in the middle on, but it always helps to know yourself.

[mrsimperless]

For the record I'm an INFP. I wouldn't be shocked at all if I'm the only one, although I have a feeling we get a lot of I's.

[MacroGuru]

Yeah, I am an ENFP..

[Warhammer]

I am ESTJ but border ENTP. I lean towards ESTJ at work and ENTP socially.

[DaddyTorgo]

i think i'm intp, but i forget

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

INTJ. Sounds right.

[Pumpy Tudors]

ENFP, baby!

[Mustang]

ISTP save for the skydiving and optimist

[Racer]

I'm INTJ. Figured it would be that or INTP.

[Schmidty]

INFP for me.

Nope. You're not the only one.

[Solecismic]

I'm an ENTJ, close on the borders of I and S.

[Radii]

ISTJ

100% introvert, just 1% preference on the S, and reading through the descriptions INTJ is what I would have expected for myself /shrug.

[Izulde]

INFP myself, though in certain moods the E can come out.

[Swaggs]

ENTJ here.

[MikeVic]

Apparently an ISFJ. Read the description, and a lot of it seems true. I submitted my results half-way through, and was an ENFJ though. I read that description too, and agree with some of the stuff in there.

What does this mean? I'm for sure a "feeling judging" person, that senses/has intuition... but sometimes I'm extroverted, and sometimes I'm introverted? That seems to describe me well.

[Fonzie]

INTJ.

I am, in fact, a scientist. Go figure.

[jbergey22]

ESTP nails me down perfectly.

[Tigercat]

INFJ, the rarest of all the personality types. Didn't really need a test to tell me I was an oddball, but there it is.

[Antmeister]

ENFP for me.

[sabotai]

INTP matches me the best out of all of them.

[Lorena]

Hmm.. guess it depends on my mood. I've taken this test 3 times. The first time was stumbleupon which I scored as an INFP. My friend has a book about it and I scored as an INFJ. I just took the test again for the hell of it and scored ISFP. Well one thing's for sure, I'm definitely an introvert who goes on feeling rather than thought.

Rational Portrait of the Mastermind (INTJ)All Rationals are good at planning operations, but Masterminds are head and shoulders above all the rest in contingency planning. Complex operations involve many steps or stages, one following another in a necessary progression, and Masterminds are naturally able to grasp how each one leads to the next, and to prepare alternatives for difficulties that are likely to arise any step of the way. Trying to anticipate every contingency, Masterminds never set off on their current project without a Plan A firmly in mind, but they are always prepared to switch to Plan B or C or D if need be.

Masterminds are rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population, and they are rarely encountered outside their office, factory, school, or laboratory. Although they are highly capable leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once they take charge, however, they are thoroughgoing pragmatists. Masterminds are certain that efficiency is indispensable in a well-run organization, and if they encounter inefficiency-any waste of human and material resources-they are quick to realign operations and reassign personnel. Masterminds do not feel bound by established rules and procedures, and traditional authority does not impress them, nor do slogans or catchwords. Only ideas that make sense to them are adopted; those that don't, aren't, no matter who thought of them. Remember, their aim is always maximum efficiency.In their careers, Masterminds usually rise to positions of responsibility, for they work long and hard and are dedicated in their pursuit of goals, sparing neither their own time and effort nor that of their colleagues and employees. Problem-solving is highly stimulating to Masterminds, who love responding to tangled systems that require careful sorting out. Ordinarily, they verbalize the positive and avoid comments of a negative nature; they are more interested in moving an organization forward than dwelling on mistakes of the past.

Masterminds tend to be much more definite and self-confident than other Rationals, having usually developed a very strong will. Decisions come easily to them; in fact, they can hardly rest until they have things settled and decided. But before they decide anything, they must do the research. Masterminds are highly theoretical, but they insist on looking at all available data before they embrace an idea, and they are suspicious of any statement that is based on shoddy research, or that is not checked against reality.

Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Dwight D. Eisenhower, General Ulysses S. Grant, Frideriche Nietsche, Niels Bohr, Peter the Great, Stephen Hawking, John Maynard Keynes, Lise Meitner, Ayn Rand and Sir Isaac Newton are examples of Rational Masterminds.

I'm also an INFJ.

I too am an INFJ. For being so rare, we sure do have a lot of us on this board.

[lordscarlet]

I came out of this test with INFJ. I believe as a teenager I was always INTP.

[flere-imsaho]

It should be noted that for MBTI, "Introverted" means you tend to get your energy from within, as opposed for needing others to give you your energy. So I can definitely see why JiMGA is an "I".

I remember a relative of my wife's thinking this test was the bee's knees (or is it bees' knees?) for hr people and we all took it. I forget what I was but I remember thinking there were some serious flaws in the questions that determine the answers. Even funnier was that the definitions aren't what you think- like JIMGA talking about not being an introvert but that's not really what the introvert/extrovert scale means at all. Problem is that some interpreting the test don't understand the nuance.

Except for the part where I read the detailed description of mine & actually laughed out loud at how far off it was on quite a few points. But it would have taken longer to highlight all of those instead of laughing at the top line misidentification, so I chose the latter.

Sometimes, way off base is simply way off base.

I think the problem is that the MBTI system simply doesn't have a "type" for "Reactionary, Anachronistic, Authoritarian People-Hater".

Rational Portrait of the Fieldmarshal (ENTJ)Of the four aspects of strategic analysis and definition it is marshaling or situational organizing role that reaches the highest development in the Fieldmarshal. As this kind of role is practiced some contingency organizing is necessary, so that the second suit of the Fieldmarshal's intellect is devising contingency plans. Structural and functional engineering, though practiced in some degree in the course of organizational operations, tend to be not nearly as well developed and are soon outstripped by the rapidly growing skills in organizing. But it must be said that any kind of strategic exercise tends to bring added strength to engineering as well as organizing skills.
Hardly more than two percent of the total population, Fieldmarshals are bound to lead others, and from an early age they can be observed taking command of groups. In some cases, they simply find themselves in charge of groups, and are mystified as to how this happened. But the reason is that they have a strong natural urge to give structure and direction wherever they are - to harness people in the field and to direct them to achieve distant goals. They resemble Supervisors in their tendency to establish plans for a task, enterprise, or organization, but Fieldmarshals search more for policy and goals than for regulations and procedures.
They cannot not build organizations, and cannot not push to implement their goals. When in charge of an organization, whether in the military, business, education, or government, Fieldmarshals more than any other type desire (and generally have the ability) to visualize where the organization is going, and they seem able to communicate that vision to others. Their organizational and coordinating skills tends to be highly developed, which means that they are likely to be good at systematizing, ordering priorities, generalizing, summarizing, at marshaling evidence, and at demonstrating their ideas. Their ability to organize, however, may be more highly developed than their ability to analyze, and the Fieldmarshal leader may need to turn to an Inventor or Architect to provide this kind of input.
Fieldmarshals will usually rise to positions of responsibility and enjoy being executives. They are tireless in their devotion to their jobs and can easily block out other areas of life for the sake of their work. Superb administrators in any field - medicine, law, business, education, government, the military - Fieldmarshals organize their units into smooth-functioning systems, planning in advance, keeping both short-term and long-range objectives well in mind. For the Fieldmarshal, there must always be a goal-directed reason for doing anything, and people's feelings usually are not sufficient reason. They prefer decisions to be based on impersonal data, want to work from well thought-out plans, like to use engineered operations - and they expect others to follow suit. They are ever intent on reducing bureaucratic red tape, task redundancy, and aimless confusion in the workplace, and they are willing to dismiss employees who cannot get with the program and increase their efficiency. Although Fieldmarshals are tolerant of established procedures, they can and will abandon any procedure when it can be shown to be ineffective in accomplishing its goal. Fieldmarshals root out and reject ineffectiveness and inefficiency, and are impatient with repetition of error.
Hillary Clinton, Napoleon, Margret Thatcher, Carl Sagan, Bill Gates, Golda Meir, Edward Teller, George Benard Shaw, and General George C. Marshall are examples of Rational Fieldmarshals.
