What's your personality type?

Do you have a personality? I barely do.

Early in our dating, my girlfriend innocently asked me to take a personality quiz to determine my Karl-Jung personality type. It turns out that I am consistently an INTJ type and not compatible with her personality type. On that note, we threw the results out the windows and have formed a pretty good relationship regardless of what the tests say.

The INTJ type is a fairly close approximation of my personality, though not exact. Another useful thing I discovered was that most of my previous occupations and interests were mentioned as favored careers for INTJ people.

I know that a few of my blogging friends are looking for new careers. I would suggest that they take the personality test, and see if any of the typical careers for your personality strike a chord with you. A good selection of Jung Tests can be found here:

A good descriptive page for the different personality types, and their career and relationship behaviours can be found here:

Tests are fun. Tests make us all better learners.

It said I was an ISTJ which I think is pretty accurate. I also got 88% on the number pattern test. I am so smrt, s-m-r-t. I also got 16% on the vocabulary test.

So VXT is destined to be a cat burglar or a jewel thief, eh? Is that was ISTJ personality types are known for?

This bogus quiz told me that, like Flocons, I too am an INTJ.

What lies! We are nothing alike. In fact we are polar opposites. It is the reason why RVD competitions happened in the first place: a battle between good and evil.

Which of us is good and which is evil? Who cares? I have the RVD medal! Ha ha ha!

When I got my cat at the Toronto Humane Society, some Chinese girl claimed that I took her cat.

Flocons is not an INTJ. That's what happens when you lie on your tests. I should make all my friends take this test to see if we are suitable friends. That's typical of what an ISTJ would say, that's why we have no friends =( meow

It says that I'm an ISTP

ISTP - "Engineer". Values freedom of action and following interests and impulses. Independent, concise in speech, master of tools. 5.4% of total population.

I think it's pretty accurate. If they include computers as tools.

Ooooo... I like this! I'm an ENFP. An ENFP "gone wrong"!

>>An ENFP who has "gone wrong" may be quite manipulative - and very good it. <<

Hahaha. So true. Though the test implies that I'm optimistic, and that I like people. M'oh well. No test is perfect...
