Show your personality

Since I'm new here, I was wondering what personality types are on AW. What's your Myers-Briggs? Never taken it? Here is a link for a shorter cheap-o version. It seems pretty accurate.

http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp

I'll start out. I'm an INFJ. That makes me less than 1% of the population. (1.5 % of pop. according to wiki article.) So I'm an "odd" personality.

But I bet most writers are a little odd.

(Here's the wiki article if you want to understand MB better.)

INTP baby

semilargeintestine · Sep 7, 2009

I'm ENTJ, which is 1.8% of the population. I share it with Einstein. Jew Power.

I just took this (although this was a different version than I've seen before) and got the same result as I got the 4000 times I've taken it before. I am INFJ, whether I like it or not.

Smish · Sep 7, 2009

INFJ, which is the rarest. However, I suspect there will be a lot of us here because INFJ's are natural writers, apparently.

Mine keeps coming up as STUD, but I can't find that one.

Wayne K-
Ha! Very nice.

Smish and kayleamay-

I sort of assumed INFJ's would be in the majority.

We're in ranks with

* Mahatma Gandhi
* Martin Luther King
* Nelson Mandela

semilargeintestine-
You're the only E so far!

DL Hegel-
I think INTP has a lot of Presidents in their list!

Ah...Oh, well. I'm new. I never saw that one. But mine has a poll!!

Mumut · Sep 7, 2009

I forget which mine was but it's the same as Hitler.

I completed this one. INFJ is mine.

Kenzie · Sep 7, 2009

INFJ for me too. This is always my result, no matter which test. I'm not at all surprised.

Regan Leigh · Sep 7, 2009

Mumut- INTJ I think.

Interesting rundown on type descriptions at this site.

Could be

least favored careers writing and sales...I like both...I'm always the odd ball. But personality is spot on

Regan Leigh · Sep 7, 2009

Pat- Great pic! I'm a "protector".

DL- Out of the box is good.

DL Hegel · Sep 7, 2009

thanks Regan

Regan, it's a necklace made by a jewelry crafter over on Etsy; I thought it was pretty clever, even though it's out of my price range right now. She does them for any of the types.

(I'm wondering if I ought to mention to her that she spelled Myers-Briggs wrong, though?...is that helpful or anal?)

Ha! I didn't even notice. (Not surprised. Spelling and grammar are my weaknesses.) I think it would be helpful in an anal way.

Anyone willing to pay $57 for a necklace would most likely be hard core Myers-Briggs fans. She might lose a sale.

Pat~ · Sep 7, 2009

Excellent point. I'll drop her a diplomatically anal convo.

Chasing the Horizon · Sep 8, 2009

The majority of writers look to be introverts. How shocking.

I WILL NOT BE LABELED!

Wayne K · Sep 8, 2009

Now I'm coming up as NSFW, weird.

KTC · Sep 8, 2009

INFJ.

Fran · Sep 8, 2009

I got INTJ. It says I'm only 1% thinking. I think and think and think until I overthink and my head is stuffed with thinking and I have to go and lie down.

It reminds me a bit of Derren Brown's personality tests where he just gave everyone the same and the vast majority said it was spookily accurate. Honestly, watching that man destroys all faith in these things!
