What is your Myers-Briggs Personality Type?

This thread was kind of inspired by the little squabble in the pics thread but its something I've been interested in for a while. I find this whole system really fascinating and I'm curious to see what types of people our little community is made up of. I made a similar thread a little over a year ago but we've had many new arrivals since then and I think it's always an interesting topic.

If you don't know what your type is go here and take a quick test: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp

Personally I am an INTJ. That description really fits me perfectly.
 
INTJ

I've taken the same test a few times throughout the years, and my personality type has stayed the same. the descriptions of INTJs fits me perfectly
 
Meh..

I REALLY wish a couple of these questions had more of a "very much/slightly/indifferent/slightly not/not at all" options...as I didn't think the question could be yes or no for me..but in any case here's what I got:

INFJ
Introverted | Intuitive | Feeling | Judging

You are:

* moderately expressed introvert
* moderately expressed intuitive personality
* slightly expressed feeling personality
* moderately expressed judging personality

Counselors have an exceptionally strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others, and find great personal fulfillment interacting with people, nurturing their personal development, guiding them to realize their human potential. Although they are happy working at jobs (such as writing) that require solitude and close attention, Counselors do quite well with individuals or groups of people, provided that the personal interactions are not superficial, and that they find some quiet, private time every now and then to recharge their batteries. Counselors are both kind and positive in their handling of others; they are great listeners and seem naturally interested in helping people with their personal problems. Not usually visible leaders, Counselors prefer to work intensely with those close to them, especially on a one-to-one basis, quietly exerting their influence behind the scenes.

Counselors are scarce, little more than one percent of the population, and can be hard to get to know, since they tend not to share their innermost thoughts or their powerful emotional reactions except with their loved ones. They are highly private people, with an unusually rich, complicated inner life. Friends or colleagues who have known them for years may find sides emerging which come as a surprise. Not that Counselors are flighty or scattered; they value their integrity a great deal, but they have mysterious, intricately woven personalities which sometimes puzzle even them.

Counselors tend to work effectively in organizations. They value staff harmony and make every effort to help an organization run smoothly and pleasantly. They understand and use human systems creatively, and are good at consulting and cooperating with others. As employees or employers, Counselors are concerned with people's feelings and are able to act as a barometer of the feelings within the organization.

Blessed with vivid imaginations, Counselors are often seen as the most poetical of all the types, and in fact they use a lot of poetic imagery in their everyday language. Their great talent for language-both written and spoken-is usually directed toward communicating with people in a personalized way. Counselors are highly intuitive and can recognize another's emotions or intentions - good or evil - even before that person is aware of them. Counselors themselves can seldom tell how they came to read others' feelings so keenly. This extreme sensitivity to others could very well be the basis of the Counselor's remarkable ability to experience a whole array of psychic phenomena.

Mohandas Gandhi, Sidney Poitier, Eleanor Roosevelt, Jane Goodall, Emily Bronte, Sir Alec Guiness, Carl Jung, Mary Baker Eddy, Queen Noor are examples of the Counselor Idealist (INFJ).


This page was more interesting to me, however: http://typelogic.com/infj.html
 
I tend to be an INFP on such tests. This time I came out as an INFJ, apparently the rarest type. I am firmly an introvert, but I tend to stride the middle ground between P and J. The problem with such tests is typically that most people find themselves more towards the middle than the extremes. The I/E split is rather easy to distinguish, but the others vary too much from day to day for most people.
 
I did this in my education psych class last term. I'm an INTP, but tying in sensing and intuition, which goes to intuition. Right on the money tbh.

EDIT: Having read the description on the link Cookie provided as opposed to just the paper from class, I agree even more that this type describes me almost exactly. Really cool stuff.
 
I was unsure what to answer about 1/5 of the questions because I either felt that both or neither applied. But anyway, I'm INTP.
 
ESTJ
Extraverted Sensing Thinking Judging

You are:
very expressed extravert
slightly expressed sensing personality
slightly expressed thinking personality
moderately expressed judging personality
Basically, the articles about ESTJs are extremely hit or miss and I can't really attribute the few correlations to my personality to anything other than chance.

Basically this is what it said compared to what's true.

You have lots of friends, are comfortable socializing and are easy to get along with - TRUE

You're good at making impersonal decisions - TRUE

Traditions such as religion and marriage are important to you - FALSE

You're content to perform or pass on commands without question - FALSE

Education is important to you - TRUE

You conduct yourself in a formal manner - TRUE

You do all of your work - FALSE

...on time - FALSE

...thoroughly - TRUE
