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.

I have taken tons of these tests: always the same result. I am an INTJ. It fits me 100%

It might not be that FIRST is dominated by what is supposed to be 2-5% of the population, but that those are the people who flock to CD the most out of all the FIRST people. Then again, maybe not...

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.
