No. But Stephen Colbert Did, it was funny:

I have never taken it. I work with a business coach and she says she thinks I am ENTP.

I took this for the first time and smiled as well as mostly agreed with the results. Since I'm retired I have few super-responsibilities which has been most

wonderful. I'm on the Board of one organization and an Executive Committee of another and two related committees which are associated. I found that I

used those experiences and my relations to the people and the mission expressed in responding to many of those queries on the test. My social relationships

and interactions also influenced my answers.

 

Thanks, Seaboy! You and I have been at this site for quite some time!

Great test. I am a total ENFJ which makes sense as I was a teacher for many years.

 

P.S. According to the description below one of the things I'm supposed to be is diplomatic and believe me the just ain't so.

I took the test 15 years ago and scored as an INTP. I just took the free test and scored as ENFJ. However, I was only slightly more extroverted than introverted and almost equal on judging and perceiving.

INTJ all the way, baby -- the rarest of the rare, especially for women.

INTP here. Study and absorb all you can about whatever it is you're working on, but then laziness kicks in and in place of endless laborious analysis, in comes the 'Intuition' -- i.e., make your best guess and get on with it.

ISFP...don't judge me.

ISTJ.

Marylander, other personality charts had told me I was Nikola Tesla. Now I find I'm both "House" and Ayn Rand! AND a mastermind. (But of course...) Thanks for the post!

The Myers-Briggs is a great instrument. Have taken it many times and used it in workshops. It helps people understand each others' points of view and how they process information.

 

I'm an ENTJ. Same as when I took test(s) several years ago. So my take is the predictive validity of the on-line test is pretty good.

 

Thanks for sharing this link Greg.

Took it awhile back INFP Me and Mahatama down by the schoolyard.

Just watched the video and found Colbert is one of us.

ENFJ here

[+ azdr0710]

ISTJ.....and proud of it

[Guest]

Another ENFJ. Me and MLK, huh? And yeah, I do feel like I'm the opposite of Frank Zappa (who's ISTP). Although, looking him up, we might have had a bit in common in our beliefs:

Zappa recalled his parents being "pretty religious" and trying to make him go to Catholic school despite his resentment. Zappa showed disgust towards religion (Christianity in particular) because he believed that it promotes ignorance and anti-intellectualism.

 

Thank goodness, though, my parents were never religious nor did they, of course, try to make me go to a religious school!

After carefully considering the descriptions in Marylander's post with all the diagrams, I find that I am a JPTFSNEI. Seriously, I doubt that this type of tool is much better than astrology, except that it makes one consider the ways in which he might fall on one side or the other (or both) in each pair of contrasts.

[+ WmClarke]

While my true type is really an FUCK, whenever I take this test I get scores that are very close to evenly split. So, this time I'm an ISFP. But in a year I might be something different like an ESFJ or an INFP.

For what it's worth, I am an INTP. I have been involved with staff training and development activities that used Myers-Briggs personality typing, but I'm not sure how accurate it is. I accept that it describes different personality types. I'm just not sure that the types it portrays are significant in determining how people will react, or if it's just that it alerts people to the fact that different people react differently.

I used to be really interested in typologies, but anymore, whenever I encounter a new one, I think, "Not ANOTHER one." Meyers Briggs seems to be very pervasive, but I've never paid much attention to it.

In spite of what I said earlier, I have, in fact, used one very useful personality descriptive tool. Our Human Resources dept trained all managers and above in it, and in my observation, it worked really well. At least, it worked well before the training "wore off." The tool is described here:

http://www.stroudtrainingsystems.com/files/social_style_model.pdf.

 

Three parts of the Stroud system still seem to me, after many years, to be particularly useful. The first is that there are only two dimensions (thus four classes), as contrasted to the four (sixteen classes) in Myers-Briggs, which means that it's easier to find your proper classification. (I should add that the tool does go on to subdivide the four classes into sixteen, but not in a Meyers-Briggs style, and it is not the major take-away.)

 

The second is that your classification is determined not only by your own self-observation but also by the observations of your peers. This means that the final classification is likely to be as objective as we can make it.

 

The third is that Stroud also provides techniques for dealing with people in all four categories. Oh, boy, was that helpful! I learned how to handle all those "idiots" who didn't react as they "should" to my brilliant proposals. Actually, I learned how to make the presentations in a way that would appeal to my audience.

 

If you have responsibilities for training other people in your organization, you might want to look into Stroud in more detail. Highly recommended.

and in my observation, it worked really well. At least, it worked well before the training "wore off."

 

The fact that it "wore off" seems to indicate that it wasn't an ongoing source of value.
