Myers Briggs - Personality Test

[Graham C]

I'm an INTP apparently.

i last did this test about 10-15 years ago and every time I'd score as a definite ENFP. Interestingly now I'm an INFP, but with only moderate or slight preferences on each category. I wonder how much that is due to a change in my personality, an acceptance of the 'real' me as I get older, or just differences in self-perception? Interesting stuff.

Or maybe it's the fact that as you get older your eyesight is going, so you're ticking the wrong boxes?

Having given it at least three minutes solid thought I definitely *am* more introverted now than I used to be. My best guess is that I always have been naturally that way inclined, but in my younger days I definitely felt the need for validation from others to a much greater extent than I do now, so I think that's where the change is mostly showing up.  I used to sulk at having to miss any social gathering, but nowadays i much prefer an evening in front of the telly (pipe and slippers optional).

I'm an absolutely textbook INTJ.

This is a good site to get a handle on the different types.

I've never noticed it being something employers took notice of, but then I've worked in a less regimented industry - it's more useful for people to just understand more about themselves. I found it particularly useful as INTJs are quite extreme personalities and it was good to find out that my personality type is just the way I am, and that I'm not just going out of my way to be an abrasive arsehole.

Goddam introverted planners, sitting there on your own thinking about things! Takes the fun out of making quick judgements and flying by the seat of your pants!

I can't remember the exact personality type, but the senior manager was very keen that the team as a whole was that type and her managers were that type and surprisingly (not) that was exactly the result that came out.

I was the introverted techy bastard type (whatever that one was).  Will see what I am now prob worse I would think.

yep still INTJ

Having a team of the same type, simply isn't a team.

It wasn't that the team were all individually ESTJ or whatever but the mix of the various personalities all contributed to a team personality of ESTJ....

ENFP. I am sure if I did the test again it would come up with a different result.
