Self-identification

[andrewducker]

I was intrigued by how few people identified as "an introvert" on the previous poll. Looking down the list, it seems to me that the majority of people on my friends list are reasonably introverted - insofar as they get energy from time away fom people, and feel drained by prolonged periods around others, however it seems that they don't feel the same.

So, I'm intrigued how people come out on the Myers-Briggs personality types.

If you've never taken this before then take the test here (takes about five minutes) and report back...

INTJs most of the way. Now there's a surprise (not). In quick and dirty poll I did for The Inter-Galactic Playground, NTJ dominated, with NTP not far behind.

And I'm an INTJ although usually pretty close on the N/S axis.

Sounds about right. The biggest thing I expect is for nearly all of my friends to be N, I also expect more T than F, but not in such an extreme manner.

The N/S seems to be very susceptible to the type of work I'm doing.

Doesn't surprise me. Abstract thinking is one of the things that causes real divides.

It's also the attribute that has the biggest difference in the general population: 73% sensing, 27% intuitive.

When we did the test at work all but two of the team (of about 12) came out as 'I' - which given we were a group of functional analysts in no real surprise.

Interestingly I was the only one of the men in the group who came out as an 'F' rather than a 'T'. Also interesting is that this came as no surprise to anyone!

My MB results to actually tie in quite well with the 'Insights' tests I did a few months ago.
