How do you experience the world?
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a personality test based on Jungian psychology. It measures four axes: introversion vs. extroversion; intuitive vs. sensing; thinking vs. feeling and perceiving vs. judging. The definitions of these traits are not the same as the common usage of these words.
If you know your type, please share! I'm an INFP, which puts me in the same category as Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes - or Walter Mitty. I like my dreaminess, but it can drive some of my more earth-bound friends crazy. Other INFPs are/were: Princess Diana, Mia Farrow, A.A. Milne, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Annie Dillard, James Herriot and supposedly, Shakespeare (though I've seen him listed under several types).
If you don't know your type, there's a test on Tickle.com (yes, I excel in the art of procrastination) called the Career Personality Test, which is a good approximation: http://web.tickle.com/tests/classiccareer/?test=classiccareerogt
If you can't decide on an answer, think back to before you were 12, and how you would have responded then.
I'm not plugging anything; I'm just curious. I've also found these type descriptions to be very useful in building characters and figuring out how characters interact. You can read more about types at http://keirsey.com/.
