Your Myers-Briggs Personality Type?

You may have had to take one of these personality tests during college/career advising/work.

If not, here's a quick, free test: http://similarminds.com/jung_word_pair.html

I somehow suspect the bassist population would have plenty of Introverts (as opposed to Extroverts) and Judgers (as opposed to Perceivers, so I buck the trend, lol).

My results:

Fairly accurate too, I've done this questionnaire a few times now, and the results align well with a few I've done elsewhere also (through work etc.)
Nice find!!!

my results were similar to the op's, architect as well, the code to paste the table here doesn't seem to be working. admittedly I don't really understand what it all means, and also a lot of the this or that in the questionnaire I felt that I have moments of both in near equal shares.

For an Engineer, I really jacked that up....... ^
 
I don't like these. I seem to detect a slant to the questions, then begin answering them to get an expected result. I need to take one of these without knowing I am taking one to get an accurate answer for myself.

Massive INTP. A.K.A. "It's Not Theoretically Possible"

I actually haven't run the test since I had some medical issues that had huge impact on my outlook on life.
I should probably run it again just for grins.

Apparently..getting cancer and having a cardiac arrest can turn an INTP into a an INTJ

Which is kinda weird because when you read the INTP profile, that was the old me to a T and when I look at the INTJ profile, I don't feel like that person AT ALL.
