CD Users Personality Test

[IndySam]

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.

I guess it's fairly right...
(first thing I thought of when I saw my score: "What? I'm an Extraverted bee!?")

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.

It's funny, about a dozen years ago I was an INFP. But, my job at the time sort of required me to be FP - this current job has formed me into a TJ.
No matter the job, I'll always be Introverted. :/
Mastermind !!!!

I've never really felt these told me anything I didn't already know. It's also not fully descriptive of me, because of the aforementioned binary nature, and that I'm perfectly happy with public speaking but can't stand parties and the like, throwing the results due to conflicting one of its area's. Just my opinion.

The last time I took one of these tests (summer 2009), I was 100% introverted. That didn't quite make sense, but everything else from that test was near spot-on.

I'm also an INTJ, both on this mini-test and a real Myers-Briggs test. And it is not surprising that many CD folks are INTJ and ENTJ.

Is Myers-Briggs perfect? No. There are several similar systems as well, and none of them are perfect either. But a careful study and some deep thought can give one a lot of insight into themselves, and really change the way you manage your life.

For example, as an INTJ, I know that I don't like sudden changes of plans: Instead, either following the plan and adjusting or allowing some time (minutes to hours) to "chew on" changes really works well for me. My boss knows it too, so when they need my best, they allow time for me to process changes.

Those who don't know me, I explain it to them so they don't think my inaction (or more accurately delayed reaction) means I don't care. In fact, I just need to plan what to do, otherwise I can't do it well.

Thanks for explaining me Don

It has fewer questions, but a scale on each question. I don't like the format of the results on this.

I started doing robotics heavily about 18 months ago, after stepping into a leadership role. That same time when I took this test in class, I was ESFJ, all of them within 30% (Sensing, the one that changed, was at 3%). Interesting how I have changed over the last year and a half.
