The Portrait of the Mastermind Rational (iNTj)
Since I'm only barely T and J, this isn't 100% accurate, but it is a pretty good description.  ETA: actually, the other link about INTJ is DEAD ON! typelogic.com/intj.html

Note the large number of typos in the test, so don't get your heart set on the results. Who would answer, "You try to stand firmly by your principles" with a NO? |

I have taken literally dozens of these things over the course of probably 3 years and it's ALWAYS the same thing. ISTJ I've seen other people who've taken several. It appears taht if they normally have a weak lean to one or the other, then it changes depending on how they felt when they took the test. So for those of you who end up with a weak lean in one of the categories, try taking it again in a couple days and see if you get the same result. All it really means is that your particular personality somewhat adapts to your surroundings. As for me, I have a heavy lean on all of these, so mine tends to remain the same no matter when I take it. Couple things I thought I'd point out because they really are spot on.
Not so sure about the job choices there as none of them interest me in the least, but I can see what they are saying. I have no fear of tough decisions and I'll stand by any decision I make, even if I did screw it up. |

10 years ago (fresh out of college) I was an ISTJ, and was most definitely an I, S, T and J when I graded the score sheet, there was no doubt about it. Today I am an INTJ. I can see how the N developed with time. Once I entered the real world, I realized how little information people have to make decisions on and have to use their intuition and have had to strengthen that aspect of my personality. |
I can see that. I mean my lean on the "S" is still pretty strong, but it isn't as strong as it once was. So perhaps I'm drifting a little closer to the "N" as well. Give me 10 years and I might be saying the same thing. |

I have taken this several times befor and I still come up as ISTJ. Inspector Guardians look carefully and thoroughly at the people and institutions around them. Making up perhaps as much as ten percent of the general population, Inspectors are characterized by decisiveness in practical affairs, are the guardians of institutions, and if only one adjective could be selected, “superdependable” would best describe them. Whether at home or at work, Inspectors are nothing if not dependable, particularly when it comes to examining the people and products they are responsible for—quietly seeing to it that uniform quality is maintained, and that those around them uphold certain standards of attitude and conduct. These quiet, no-nonsense Guardians have a distaste for and distrust of fanciness in speech, dress, and living space. Their words tend to be simple and down-to-earth, not showy or high-flown; their clothes are often homespun and conservative rather than of the latest fashion; and their home and work environments are usually neat, orderly, and traditional, rather than up-to-date or luxurious. In their choice of personal property (cars, furnishings, jewelry, and so on) price and durability are just as important as comfort or appearance. Classics, antiques, and heirlooms are especially valued, having achieved a certain time-honored status—Inspectors prefer the old-fashioned to the newfangled every time. Even on vacation, Inspectors tend not to be attracted by exotic foods, beverages, or locales. Their thoroughness and orderliness, combined with their interest in legality and standardization, leads Inspectors to a number of occupations that call for the careful administration of goods and services. Inspectors feel right at home with difficult, detailed forms and columns of figures, and thus they make excellent bank examiners, auditors, accountants, and tax attorneys. Managing investments in securities is likely to interest this type, particularly investments in municipal bonds and blue-chip securities. Inspectors are not likely to take chances either with their own or others’ money, and the thought of a bankrupt nation, state, institution, or family gives them more than a little uneasiness. The idea of dishonoring a contract also bothers an Inspector —their word is their bond—and they naturally communicate a message of trustworthiness and stability, which can make them successful in business. With their eye for detail, Inspectors make good business men and women, librarians, dentists, optometrists, legal secretaries, and law researchers. High school and college teachers of business administration, home economics, physical education, civics, and history tend to be Inspectors, as do quartermaster officers in the military. It is also very me. I was also a quartermaster in the Army just not at the officer level. |

I'm not sure there is a This is certainly to be taken with a grain of salt as the questions on the test seem ambiguous. |

Jung philosophy,....--- He did tests like this all the time, the problem with the tests, is that they are always yes or no questions. Questions aren't always yes or no. But it is all he ever offered. why? Yes or no questions can be interpreted to mean anything he wants them to. Most pysche tests are set up this way. If I say "Would you help another if asked?" and you say yes....I could say you were looking for some sort of self gratification or you can't stand being alone due to a ego based personality system.. Others might say gee, you are a really nice person, others yet, might say...you are all to religious and need to stop believing in a god that doesn't exsist...[are you getting it?] Pysche tests results will never be the definitive answer for anyone or anything. It is all strictly based on theory, behaviors and interpretations of the past. We might know how a person will react, but we will never know, if he will react that way ALL the time without fail.[that is why they drug so many in hospitals, this way their behavior is predictable. Now they can base info on it----not true study of behavior or phsychology!] Same with thinking, feeling and emotion. Sure, some things can be graded on a scale of 'normal usual reaction", but how many of us are considered "normal" today with the liberal thinking and labeling prevailing? There should always be a "depends on the situation" answer available.!!- Anyway--I did have fun and enjoyed the silly thing.- I just hope some of you don't take it too seriously.

I don't know that it's any more valid, but there is a much more "in-depth" test available at emote.com, give me a second here and see if I can find a link to it. Of course to get the REALLY in depth interpretation you'd have to pay for it, but if I remember right this one gives decent insight even on the free one. ETA: Sorry I guess it's tickle.com not emote. Here's the link. tickle They have a bunch of fun little tests, not just personality, but work personality, ideal jobs, relationships, etc, etc. |
Often, when researchers need to measure personality, they'll use something derived from what is commonly referred to as "The Big Five" - which measures scores on 5 different main dimensions on personality. The big five dimensions are Agreeableness, Dependability, Adjustment, Intellectance, and Surgency. However, while personality seems to fall into these five dimensions, each dimension is quite heterogeneous, and there are a large number of traits/subscales within each one of the Big Five dimensions - things like dominance, extroversion, socialbility, achievement orientation, need for power, compassion, etc. The PROBLEM with personality tests like the Myers-Briggs, is that it was not developed based on any actual theory or measurement, but simply pulled out of someone's ass, because they thought it described people well - but there is no real scientific validity behind it. (To me, it might be slightly better than astology or fortune cookies, but not by much.) Unfortunately, the Big Five measure are also proprietary, although many sub-scales are in the public domain (and can be found in journals like Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Psychological Bulletin, etc.). There IS a free version of the Big Five called IPIP (forget what it stands for) that is available on-line, and has the same psychometric properties and reliability as the Big Five. When I need to measure personality (at the big five level) I'm perfectly comfortable using the IPIP. As a qualifier - I don't actually study personality in my research, although I sometimes (rarely) measure it (as a control variable) and some of my work does address specific traits. |
So this test would be more to your liking. Openness: 90th percentile - corresponds to Yoda Conscientiousness: 8th percentile - corresponds to Han Solo Extraversion: 4th percentile - corresponds to the Wampa (Abominable Snowman) Agreeableness: 44th percentile - corresponds to Darth Vader Neuroticism: 80th percentile - corresponds to C3PO |

Openness: 80% (Wicket) Conscientiousness: 52% You are neither organized or disorganized. (Grand Moff Tarkin) Extraversion: 37% You tend to shy away from social situations. (Old Ben Kenobi) Agreeableness: 17% You find it easy to criticize others. (Emperor Palpatine-where my vile, scheming nature comes it, I'm just crabby  Neuroticism 49% You aren’t particularly nervous, nor calm. (Chewbacca) I like Wicket anyway. |

Same here. |
 Yup - those are the big five dimensions (some of them have several different names, but those are the same ones. Unforutuantely, to measure it reliably, you need at least 50 questions, and preferably a couple of hundred. |

According to the test, I'm a bona fide asshole...
| Someone mentioned that it was curious that there were a lot of INTJs showing up here, but I believe their "type-description" suggests that they like games, etc. So... it may be that they like arfcom's forums or just that those on this forum 1.) took the test and 2.) shared the results :) |
Well as you well know, I hate games and I took the test and "scored" INTJ too. It really is kinda wierd that we're supposedly only 1% of the population, yet seem to be quite common here. Strength of the preferences % Introverted 67 Intuitive 12 Thinking 25 Judging 33 |
