So what is everyone's Myers-Briggs personality type? For some reason this subject fascinates me.
Here is a site to take a quick test:
hxxp://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp
And here are some descriptions of each type:
ISTJ - The Duty Fulfillers (http://www.personalitypage.com/ISTJ.html)
ESTJ - The Guardians (http://www.personalitypage.com/ESTJ.html)
ISFJ - The Nurturers (http://www.personalitypage.com/ISFJ.html)
ESFJ - The Caregivers (http://www.personalitypage.com/ESFJ.html)
ISTP - The Mechanics (http://www.personalitypage.com/ISTP.html)
ESTP - The Doers (http://www.personalitypage.com/ESTP.html)
ESFP - The Performers (http://www.personalitypage.com/ESFP.html)
ISFP - The Artists (http://www.personalitypage.com/ISFP.html)
ENTJ - The Executives (http://www.personalitypage.com/ENTJ.html)
INTJ - The Scientists (http://www.personalitypage.com/INTJ.html)
ENTP - The Visionaries (http://www.personalitypage.com/ENTP.html)
INTP - The Thinkers (http://www.personalitypage.com/INTP.html)
ENFJ - The Givers (http://www.personalitypage.com/ENFJ.html)
INFJ - The Protectors (http://www.personalitypage.com/INFJ.html)
ENFP - The Inspirers (http://www.personalitypage.com/ENFP.html)
INFP - The Idealists (http://www.personalitypage.com/INFP.html)
The site I've linked to with the profiles has some good information on there for dealing with weaknesses, choosing careers, doing things that fulfill your needs and help in general based on your type. There can be a bit of gray area depending on how many categories you fall more in the middle on, but it always helps to know yourself.

Apparently an ISFJ. Read the description, and a lot of it seems true. I submitted my results half-way through, and was an ENFJ though. I read that description too, and agree with some of the stuff in there.
What does this mean? I'm for sure a "feeling judging" person, that senses/has intuition... but sometimes I'm extroverted, and sometimes I'm introverted? That seems to describe me well.

Hmm.. guess it depends on my mood. I've taken this test 3 times. The first time was stumbleupon which I scored as an INFP. My friend has a book about it and I scored as an INFJ. I just took the test again for the hell of it and scored ISFP. Well one thing's for sure, I'm definitely an introvert who goes on feeling rather than thought.

Rational Portrait of the Mastermind (INTJ)</center>All Rationals are good at planning operations, but Masterminds are head and shoulders above all the rest in contingency planning. Complex operations involve many steps or stages, one following another in a necessary progression, and Masterminds are naturally able to grasp how each one leads to the next, and to prepare alternatives for difficulties that are likely to arise any step of the way. Trying to anticipate every contingency, Masterminds never set off on their current project without a Plan A firmly in mind, but they are always prepared to switch to Plan B or C or D if need be.
Masterminds are rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population, and they are rarely encountered outside their office, factory, school, or laboratory. Although they are highly capable leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once they take charge, however, they are thoroughgoing pragmatists. Masterminds are certain that efficiency is indispensable in a well-run organization, and if they encounter inefficiency-any waste of human and material resources-they are quick to realign operations and reassign personnel. Masterminds do not feel bound by established rules and procedures, and traditional authority does not impress them, nor do slogans or catchwords. Only ideas that make sense to them are adopted; those that don't, aren't, no matter who thought of them. Remember, their aim is always maximum efficiency.In their careers, Masterminds usually rise to positions of responsibility, for they work long and hard and are dedicated in their pursuit of goals, sparing neither their own time and effort nor that of their colleagues and employees. Problem-solving is highly stimulating to Masterminds, who love responding to tangled systems that require careful sorting out. Ordinarily, they verbalize the positive and avoid comments of a negative nature; they are more interested in moving an organization forward than dwelling on mistakes of the past.
Masterminds tend to be much more definite and self-confident than other Rationals, having usually developed a very strong will. Decisions come easily to them; in fact, they can hardly rest until they have things settled and decided. But before they decide anything, they must do the research. Masterminds are highly theoretical, but they insist on looking at all available data before they embrace an idea, and they are suspicious of any statement that is based on shoddy research, or that is not checked against reality.

It should be noted that for MBTI, "Introverted" means you tend to get your energy from within, as opposed for needing others to give you your energy. So I can definitely see why JiMGA is an "I".

I remember a relative of my wife's thinking this test was the bee's knees (or is it bees' knees?) for hr people and we all took it. I forget what I was but I remember thinking there were some serious flaws in the questions that determine the answers. Even funnier was that the definitions aren't what you think- like JIMGA talking about not being an introvert but that's not really what the introvert/extrovert scale means at all. Problem is that some interpreting the test don't understand the nuance.

Except for the part where I read the detailed description of mine & actually laughed out loud at how far off it was on quite a few points. But it would have taken longer to highlight all of those instead of laughing at the top line misidentification, so I chose the latter.
Sometimes, way off base is simply way off base.

<center>Rational Portrait of the Fieldmarshal (ENTJ)</center>Of the four aspects of strategic analysis and definition it is marshaling or situational organizing role that reaches the highest development in the Fieldmarshal. As this kind of role is practiced some contingency organizing is necessary, so that the second suit of the Fieldmarshal's intellect is devising contingency plans. Structural and functional engineering, though practiced in some degree in the course of organizational operations, tend to be not nearly as well developed and are soon outstripped by the rapidly growing skills in organizing. But it must be said that any kind of strategic exercise tends to bring added strength to engineering as well as organizing skills.
Hardly more than two percent of the total population, Fieldmarshals are bound to lead others, and from an early age they can be observed taking command of groups. In some cases, they simply find themselves in charge of groups, and are mystified as to how this happened. But the reason is that they have a strong natural urge to give structure and direction wherever they are - to harness people in the field and to direct them to achieve distant goals. They resemble Supervisors in their tendency to establish plans for a task, enterprise, or organization, but Fieldmarshals search more for policy and goals than for regulations and procedures.
They cannot not build organizations, and cannot not push to implement their goals. When in charge of an organization, whether in the military, business, education, or government, Fieldmarshals more than any other type desire (and generally have the ability) to visualize where the organization is going, and they seem able to communicate that vision to others. Their organizational and coordinating skills tends to be highly developed, which means that they are likely to be good at systematizing, ordering priorities, generalizing, summarizing, at marshaling evidence, and at demonstrating their ideas. Their ability to organize, however, may be more highly developed than their ability to analyze, and the Fieldmarshal leader may need to turn to an Inventor or Architect to provide this kind of input.
Fieldmarshals will usually rise to positions of responsibility and enjoy being executives. They are tireless in their devotion to their jobs and can easily block out other areas of life for the sake of their work. Superb administrators in any field - medicine, law, business, education, government, the military - Fieldmarshals organize their units into smooth-functioning systems, planning in advance, keeping both short-term and long-range objectives well in mind. For the Fieldmarshal, there must always be a goal-directed reason for doing anything, and people's feelings usually are not sufficient reason. They prefer decisions to be based on impersonal data, want to work from well thought-out plans, like to use engineered operations - and they expect others to follow suit. They are ever intent on reducing bureaucratic red tape, task redundancy, and aimless confusion in the workplace, and they are willing to dismiss employees who cannot get with the program and increase their efficiency. Although Fieldmarshals are tolerant of established procedures, they can and will abandon any procedure when it can be shown to be ineffective in accomplishing its goal. Fieldmarshals root out and reject ineffectiveness and inefficiency, and are impatient with repetition of error.
Hillary Clinton (http://www.advisorteam.com/newsletter/200503_hillarybill.html), Napoleon, Margret Thatcher, Carl Sagan, Bill Gates, Golda Meir, Edward Teller, George Benard Shaw, and General George C. Marshall are examples of Rational Fieldmarshals.

The Protector
As an INFJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you take things in primarily via intuition. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit with your personal value system.
INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. Only one percent of the population has an INFJ Personality Type, making it the most rare of all the types.
INFJs place great importance on havings things orderly and systematic in their outer world. They put a lot of energy into identifying the best system for getting things done, and constantly define and re-define the priorities in their lives. On the other hand, INFJs operate within themselves on an intuitive basis which is entirely spontaneous. They know things intuitively, without being able to pinpoint why, and without detailed knowledge of the subject at hand. They are usually right, and they usually know it. Consequently, INFJs put a tremendous amount of faith into their instincts and intuitions. This is something of a conflict between the inner and outer worlds, and may result in the INFJ not being as organized as other Judging types tend to be. Or we may see some signs of disarray in an otherwise orderly tendency, such as a consistently messy desk.
INFJs have uncanny insight into people and situations. They get "feelings" about things and intuitively understand them. As an extreme example, some INFJs report experiences of a psychic nature, such as getting strong feelings about there being a problem with a loved one, and discovering later that they were in a car accident. This is the sort of thing that other types may scorn and scoff at, and the INFJ themself does not really understand their intuition at a level which can be verbalized. Consequently, most INFJs are protective of their inner selves, sharing only what they choose to share when they choose to share it. They are deep, complex individuals, who are quite private and typically difficult to understand. INFJs hold back part of themselves, and can be secretive.
But the INFJ is as genuinely warm as they are complex. INFJs hold a special place in the heart of people who they are close to, who are able to see their special gifts and depth of caring. INFJs are concerned for people's feelings, and try to be gentle to avoid hurting anyone. They are very sensitive to conflict, and cannot tolerate it very well. Situations which are charged with conflict may drive the normally peaceful INFJ into a state of agitation or charged anger. They may tend to internalize conflict into their bodies, and experience health problems when under a lot of stress.
Because the INFJ has such strong intuitive capabilities, they trust their own instincts above all else. This may result in an INFJ stubborness and tendency to ignore other people's opinions. They believe that they're right. On the other hand, INFJ is a perfectionist who doubts that they are living up to their full potential. INFJs are rarely at complete peace with themselves - there's always something else they should be doing to improve themselves and the world around them. They believe in constant growth, and don't often take time to revel in their accomplishments. They have strong value systems, and need to live their lives in accordance with what they feel is right. In deference to the Feeling aspect of their personalities, INFJs are in some ways gentle and easy going. Conversely, they have very high expectations of themselves, and frequently of their families. They don't believe in compromising their ideals.
INFJ is a natural nurturer; patient, devoted and protective. They make loving parents and usually have strong bonds with their offspring. They have high expectations of their children, and push them to be the best that they can be. This can sometimes manifest itself in the INFJ being hard-nosed and stubborn. But generally, children of an INFJ get devoted and sincere parental guidance, combined with deep caring.
In the workplace, the INFJ usually shows up in areas where they can be creative and somewhat independent. They have a natural affinity for art, and many excel in the sciences, where they make use of their intuition. INFJs can also be found in service-oriented professions. They are not good at dealing with minutia or very detailed tasks. The INFJ will either avoid such things, or else go to the other extreme and become enveloped in the details to the extent that they can no longer see the big picture. An INFJ who has gone the route of becoming meticulous about details may be highly critical of other individuals who are not. The INFJ individual is gifted in ways that other types are not. Life is not necessarily easy for the INFJ, but they are capable of great depth of feeling and personal achievement.
wow that's accurate...

I think the problem is that the MBTI system simply doesn't have a "type" for "Reactionary, Anachronistic, Authoritarian People-Hater".
That was pretty much my take (I was going to go with "sociopath" myself until I realized that I really don't fit the medical definition at all). I'm sure there are other personality types that it misinterprets as well, I just happen to be in one of them.

I find it interesting that only 2% of the population is my type (ENTJ), yet somehow nearly 11% of the people whom took this test are ENTJ. Either we have an exceptional amount of Napoleon types on FOFC or we have a bunch of liars...;)
I'm not sure this test is long enough. I came up completely different from the multiple results I've had before. I've seen many of the questions before, and I know I am answering them the same way, but it is about half the length of the other ones I have taken.

INTJ...Mastermind!!!
Funny that the description is pretty close to being dead on, overall. Mostly in the "desire to lead only when others have displayed ineptitude to do so" (my primary reason for ever managing others) and the part about "Problem-solving is highly stimulating to Masterminds, who love responding to tangled systems that require careful sorting out"(pretty much my job as an engineer).

Meh, I wish I had made the results public, no fun! I am wondering who the other INFPs are... I'm guessing Bucc might be one. I was posting on an INFP board (yeah, I'm completely obsessed with this stuff at the moment - just bought some books from Amazon...) and most INFPs were identifying as libertarians, or at least more to the north than most.
I think it's interesting that we have 12 total INF? types. Two of the rarest types there are, but we Ps like to dream more rather than do. Just don't call me lazy!

This board has selection bias, as a board for fans of independent, logical, football games. There will be more Ts here guaranteed. Now, if this were a board for Artists, there would be more Fs. Ts and Fs are found in equal measure, but Ts will be naturally drwan to certain passtimes, such as playing a game that sometimes looks like a spreadsheet, whereas Fs will be drawn to other passtimes. Are there Fs here? Sure. Just like there would be Ts on the Artist board, but you can see how the selection bias would take place.
Similarly, just a guess, but I would expect more Js here than Ps, and that appears to be the case, even thought Js and Ps are even 50/50 in real life. Again, selection bias.
Real life, Es over Is 3:1, same for Ss over Ns.

Similarly, take this for example:
An an ENTP, I play a bit of FOF, go into a career a bit, then get bored and move on. It is hard to dedicate myself to anything more. Something else catches my eye,
As an ISTJ, or INTJ, you would have a tendency likely love to explore every nook and cranny of a dynasty, take really deep into it, and really delve into it.
That's how different MBTI's would likely play FOF>
I once made a suggestion that, instead of using Astrology as the personality a factor for players in FOF< the MBTI be used instead.

I didn't see your suggestion, but the thought has occurred to me. I have an MBTI book that I'm looking to incorporate - at least some of the subtleties.
My worry is that something like that would annoy people. While it's certainly more realistic than astrology (sorry Nancy Reagan), I'm not sure how it would translate.
I'm going to add a developer's corner post for this - I think it's worth breaking out and discussing.

well, it's quite possible for all 16 types to describe parts of your personality at different times in your life.
anyway, i scored INTJ this time around and I have scored INTP (usually growing up) and ISTP. I think professionally, i'm INTJ and personally i'm more INTP...

For the record I'm an INFP. I wouldn't be shocked at all if I'm the only one, although I have a feeling we get a lot of I's. :)
Disagree completely. I'd be shocked if INTP doesn't end up top 3, at least. INTP is the architect -- design and build. That's what sports sims are about.

INTP - 44/12/25/33
Fits my role at work well and probably everyday life to. I think I scored differently in college, more of a feeler than a thinker. Funny how things change.

That's actually a good point. As I was going through the test I couldnt help but think how different my answers would be 5-10 years ago (i.e. my early-mid 20's). Things like "going to social places",etc. would have been a dramatically different answer then as opposed to now. To me, a test like this should attempt to be as agnostic to age & life circumstances as possible. "Going shopping w/ friends" is really not something most men my age do...irregardless of personality traits.

Except for the part where I read the detailed description of mine & actually laughed out loud at how far off it was on quite a few points. But it would have taken longer to highlight all of those instead of laughing at the top line misidentification, so I chose the latter.
Sometimes, way off base is simply way off base.
The quality of the results are limited by the quality/accuracy of the responses.
My MB will vary over time. Especially on the introvert/extrovert scale where I'm somewhat borderline.
