Took the test.. ISTJ

I NTJ for me too. Have to admit that it fits...

interesting that the majority here are introverted. Would be fascinating to see a statistically relevant sample size.

(ENTJ here... don't need the test, I've taken the full battery more than once)

INTP I do not fit in to the persons they mentioned. not nearly as smart or well known

I've taken this a couple of times before. Seem to jump back and forth between ISTJ & INTJ depending on what's going on in my life.

Your personality type: ISTJ.
Breakdown of preferences: Mind - Introverted (75%), Energy - Observant (7%), Nature - Thinking (29%), Tactics - Judging (18%), Identity - Turbulent (10%).

It didn't tell me anything I didn't already know, and have had the same results taking other similar tests through the year.. My parents had one heck of a time with me as a kid, so I've been through all this against my will..

BUt, for grins I thought I'd see if I changed after getting older..

Nope.. I'm still the odd one... ENFP... Forming around 7% of the population, people with the ENFP personality type tend to be curious, idealistic, and often mystical. They seek meaning and are very interested in other people’s motives, seeing life as a big, complex puzzle where everything is connected. Not surprisingly, ENFPs tend to be very insightful and empathic individuals. This, plus their charm and social skills, often makes them very popular and influential.

Just this weekend I had a couple people tell me I was a bad influence on them..

There are business consultants out there who make a living giving the Myers Briggs (that's what the OP references) personality type test to sports teams, business exec teams, and others. The real problem with the test, that none of the consultants I've ever met will admit to, is that no one knows them self as they truly are, or perhaps no one is willing to admit to all what they are. People tend to respond as they want to be rather than how they truly are and some people just lack self awareness. Eg, you might believe that Spock-like logic is the best way to make decisions, so you unknowingly skew your answers towards "thinking", but in reality, you might be more of a "feeling" decision maker. In a work environment where people are trying to please a boss, results are even more likely to get skewed in the direction of the perceived best personality style. Double blind studies are believed to produce more accurate results in most any experiment because of the intentional and unintentional skews produced by self grading. Unfortunately, there are no practical ways to do a double blind study of a human's personality and decision making styles unless you want to treat the human like you would a lab rat.

In my work helping small businesses, I've seen numerous business owners take this test. One in particular swears that she makes only logic based decisions. But you can take reams of data to her to sway her decision, and in the end she goes with her gut. I've seen her team explain why an investment was a bad deal using charts, graphs, pounds of data, and then she says something like, "I believe in that man and think he is going to do great things." That said, her gut has made her millions of $$$, so I'm not knocking her decision style, just that the Myers Briggs test clearly produces false results in her case.

Something else to be aware of is that people's MB test results tend to change over time. People often mellow as they age and move from extreme edges to the middle and will balance thinking with feeling and/or judging with perceiving.

BTW - I'm an INTJ. I'm right, you're wrong, and I can prove it!

If I ain't mellow yet, it ain't likely to happen...

Maybe you just think you're not mellow.

Many years ago I was the straw that broke the camel's back. The boss spent big bucks having all his management tested for their best fit in the company. I remember when they discussed my results with us, him saying "that does it, I want my money back".

He explained my department hadn't made a dime in the 12 years previous to my taking it over, and it was currently 2nd most profitable in the company.

Their testing showed I would be a much better field superintendent than a salesman. I made a pretty decent living selling for myself or others for 42 years.

I've tested INTJ once, and then the rest of the time INFJ (twice for job, once for fun, all MB paid testing).

Introversion only refers to the way your thought processes and rejuvenation occur. I's process internally and need time alone to recharge; E's thrive on external feedback and people recharge them, rather than solitude.

Then there are those weird Ambiverts...

Might be too far gone to know if I'm mellow or not...

INTJ. Yep, that's me to a T.

It is odd we have so many INTJs when they make up only 2% of the US population. Maybe INTJs are more prone to participating in forums in general?

I got this link from another homesteader type forum and the INTJ's are predominate there too..

ENFJ.

ENFJs are the benevolent 'pedagogues' of humanity. They have tremendous charisma by which many are drawn into their nurturant tutelage and/or grand schemes. Many ENFJs have tremendous power to manipulate others with their phenomenal interpersonal skills and unique salesmanship. But it's usually not meant as manipulation -- ENFJs generally believe in their dreams, and see themselves as helpers and enablers, which they usually are.
ENFJs are global learners. They see the big picture. The ENFJs focus is expansive. Some can juggle an amazing number of responsibilities or projects simultaneously. Many ENFJs have tremendous entrepreneurial ability.
ENFJs are, by definition, Js, with whom we associate organization and decisiveness. But they don't resemble the SJs or even the NTJs in organization of the environment nor occasional recalcitrance. ENFJs are organized in the arena of interpersonal affairs. Their offices may or may not be cluttered, but their conclusions (reached through feelings) about people and motives are drawn much more quickly and are more resilient than those of their NFP counterparts.
ENFJs know and appreciate people. Like most NFs, (and Feelers in general), they are apt to neglect themselves and their own needs for the needs of others. They have thinner psychological boundaries than most, and are at risk for being hurt or even abused by less sensitive people. ENFJs often take on more of the burdens of others than they can bear.

Me too.
