Myers-Briggs Personality Types

ISFJ

Quiet, kind, and conscientious. Can be depended on to follow through. Usually puts the needs of others above their own needs. Stable and practical, they value security and traditions. Well-developed sense of space and function. Rich inner world of observations about people. Extremely perceptive of other’s feelings. Interested in serving others.

It says I’m an ENTJ, and I honestly don’t think I fit the desription very much at all.

INTJ

I’m an INTJ too, where’d you get that info below? The information page I got said Scientist.

I’d never want to be a scientist.

INTJ

Of the four aspects of strategic analysis and definition, it is the contingency planning or entailment organizing role that reaches the highest development in Masterminds. Entailing or contingency planning is not an informative activity, rather it is a directive one in which the planner tells others what to do and in what order to do it. As the organizing capabilities the Masterminds increase so does their inclination to take charge of whatever is going on.

It is in their abilities that Masterminds differ from the other Rationals, while in most of their attitudes they are just like the others. However there is one attitude that sets them apart from other Rationals: they tend to be much more self-confident than the rest, having, for obscure reasons, developed a very strong will. They are rather rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population. Being very judicious, decisions come naturally to them; indeed, they can hardly rest until they have things settled, decided, and set. They are the people who are able to formulate coherent and comprehensive contingency plans, hence contingency organizers or “entailers.”

Masterminds will adopt ideas only if they are useful, which is to say if they work efficiently toward accomplishing the Mastermind’s well-defined goals. Natural leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command of projects or groups, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once in charge, however, Masterminds are the supreme pragmatists, seeing reality as a crucible for refining their strategies for goal-directed action. In a sense, Masterminds approach reality as they would a giant chess board, always seeking strategies that have a high payoff, and always devising contingency plans in case of error or adversity. To the Mastermind, organizational structure and operational procedures are never arbitrary, never set in concrete, but are quite malleable and can be changed, improved, streamlined. In their drive for efficient action, Masterminds are the most open-minded of all the types. No idea is too far-fetched to be entertained-if it is useful. Masterminds are natural brainstormers, always open to new concepts and, in fact, aggressively seeking them. They are also alert to the consequences of applying new ideas or positions. Theories which cannot be made to work are quickly discarded by the Masterminds. On the other hand, Masterminds can be quite ruthless in implementing effective ideas, seldom counting personal cost in terms of time and energy.

Interesting. Only 1%?[/quote]

INTJ, clear and consistent.

ISTJ…sounds about right. The description seemed pretty accurate (aside from the immaculate workdesk part).

ENTJ

110% me

Speechless

Only i never had the self esteem until now to fully develop my INTJ personnality.

Nothing can stop me now.

ENTJ but I think I like ENTP better. What questions should I change to be more like me?

Also, it said “moderately expressed” but other people have higher scores. I want to win. Anybody got a walk-through?

FCIL / ENTJ “Chief Executive Officer”

born “CEO,” driven, takes charge; harnesses people to a distant goal; strategic; expressive; potential good debater and public speaker; seeks vision and purpose; political; self-focused; structured; logical abstraction skilled.

Interesting… I didn’t think I was at all political…

Thanks Prof,

I’ll have to make a note of that one.

ENFP was what I was about a year ago.
ENFJ was what this test told me.

Ahh…either one seems to be good and much like me. I just wonder if the J or P are rather close together. That would make me a mutt of both of them. [/quote]

P (percieving) and J (judging) exist on a continuum; it is not like you are one or the other.

ESTJ

took it yesterday and was entj.
took it today and i’m infp.

no, gemini.

INTP…to a tee.

According to the Keirsey site, that makes me an “Architect Rational”…

Just like two of my heroes, Thomas Jefferson and Albert Einstein.

And any Ayn-archists out there ought to remember Howard Roarke from The Fountainhead:

He looked at the granite. To be cut, he thought, and made into walls. He looked at a tree. To be split and made into rafters. He looked at a streak of rust on the stone and thought of iron ore under the ground. To be melted and to emerge as girders against the sky. These rocks, he thought, are here for me; waiting for the drill, the dynamite and my voice; waiting to be split, ripped, pounded, reborn, waiting for the shape my hands will give to them.

That’s me, all right.
