[Mikell Taylor]

Wow. i'm an INTJ, and the description is me down to the last detail. I haven't taken this test in years and I'm a little creeped out by how accurate it seems now.

Especially for my fellow team members I offer this description of the INTP, or "Architect", personality type, by way of an apology:

Architects regard all discussions as a search for understanding, and believe their function is to eliminate inconsistencies, which can make communication with them an uncomfortable experience for many.

When I was young my boss fell in love with this test and decided a certain personality type would be the only kind he would hire. It didn't matter that I was his best tech and didn't fit the desired profile at all, somebody at some seminar sold him on the idea.

Fat forward three years later and we ended up with a very boring group of people with no dynamic at all. Nobody was fit for leadership (except for me and another guy who was there pre-test.) The group was practically dysfunctional and took a long time to be rebuilt.

It was a interesting picture of what happens when a company relies on this kind of test too much.

The biggest flaw i see is that your answer has to be yes or no. A lot of those answers I'm indifferent about.

That sounds like a poor application of the results. You can use the results for a hire, but it should facilitate a more diverse group, not one that is theoretically more efficient.

Also, I'm INTP. I think one time I got picked out as an INFP, but mostly I'm INTP.

When they taught us about Meyers-Briggs in Professional Development I, it came with the caveat that actually using it to make choices was "outside of the scope" of the test. I couldn't get the leadership TA to give me a straight answer as to what its use was other than to get to know yourself better.

They stressed that Meyers-Briggs reveals preference not skill. For example, someone who is Introverted is not necessarily shy, or even quiet. What it does mean is that to recharge at the end of the day they would prefer a few quiet minutes alone or in a small group as opposed to heading out to dinner with a large group of people they didn't know well.

INTJ

[J93Wagner]

Your Type is INTP

Introverted: 56
Intuitive:12
Thinking:75
Perceiving:56

Well, I can't say terribly surprised and the link to the type description certainly described me well. It also partly explains why my parents don't relate well to me... but that is beside the point.

Another INTJ (~90, ~60, ~10, ~40) reporting in. Interesting that this mindset is so common among roboticists, but rare in the 'normal' population. It's nice to see that I know so many abnormal people.

[SM987]

I was suprised by this. I thought of passing it up at first, but took the test and briefly consulted with Dr. Google. INTJ and it's pretty spot on. I think everyone has to force some yes's or no's.

[artdutra04]

Scored ENTJ, although ANTJ would be more accurate.

[Kpchem]

I've taken several of these tests, all with the same result - a very heavily skewed ISFJ. I personally find it to be very accurate in regards to my personality.

Reading the thread, it seems as if I'm in a definite minority with this type...
