Great post.

INTJ. I took the test several years ago. I was fasinated with the info. It was creepily accurate. I like how it will tell you the other historical figures and celebrities that are your type.

I took the test a year ago and got INTP but I took this one just now and got INTJ so I'm border lined on that one

[Doyle]

Yeah one of my letters is right on the border too. It was either t or j can't remember.

Back in 2003 I was actively looking for a job. It seemed like every potential employer gave that test to me.

I got pretty good at manipulating my answers so that based on the position I wanted it would say about me. For sales, I was the loner and aggressor. For engineering, I was the leader/team player. In the end my real estate career started talking off and I had to be a big time roll player.

Yeah I've manipulated these test for jobs. Take it just for fun if you never have and see the honest results.

ENFJ

Can't tell you how many times in my life I've been told "You should be a teacher." That's one of the job choices picked for ENFJ people. Weird.

[Samuel L. Jackson]

I took this years ago and was an INFP... I will have to take it again when I get to work today...

ISTJ....read the description and it's pretty spot on. Looked at the career page and my job is on the list.

INTJ, otherwise known as the "mastermind."

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 some ways this is true, but I'm more of a "feeling" person than I feel the results let on.

Other masterminds:

Isaac Newton, Niels Bohr, C. G. Jung, Michel de Montaigne, Michel Nostradamus, Ada Lovelace

I would place this test just a pwhisker above fortune telling and tarot card mumbo jumbo.

For the record, I am an INTJ.
