Given the fact I've been an Inspector for 26 years this thing must be way off.
I am shocked at how accurate the results are. Look at what I have been doing for a while now... www.teach-your-kids.com
Let there be no doubt! ;-)
INTJ - publishing/business owner
lots of it sounds like me...wonder if they all do?
Do people really think that I am easily hurt? Really? Devastating. I saw myself as such a tough, adaptable person. But now I am just an overly sensitive crybaby.
J is part of the Judging/Perceiving dimension. Do you prefer closure or keeping your options open? Do you prefer to make judgements (decisions) or to take in and absorb information (perceive)?
J/P also indicates which of your functions is extraverted (used in the external world). The functions are Sensing, Intuiting, Feeling and Thinking. Sensing and Intuiting are different ways of perceiving; Feeling and Thinking are different ways of making decisions.
If you are a "J" then it means you prefer making decisions, so your decision making function is the one that is extraverted (used in the external world). In the case of an ISTJ, that would be thinking. In the case of an INFJ, that would be feeling.
If you are a "P" then it means you prefer taking in information, so your perceiving function (S or N) is the one that is extraverted. In my case, as an INFP, that would be iNtuiting.
I just have to keep talking about this because I love this topic so much, and the personality types of Freepers has long fascinated me.
Being an "E" or an "I" on the test does not determine if you are outgoing, if you like people, if you're anti-social, "weird", or anything like that. It just determines what drains your energy and what gives you energy. I am an introvert.
I love people, and I like a good, bonding social gathering. But at the end I feel more drained with these "outside myself" activities than I do when I pray, meditate, plan, think, etc. On the other hand, extraverts like my mother are more drained by "inside yourself" activities.
There are extraverts who don't really like most people and are not that sociable. Quite a few extravert Rationals can accurately be described that way. Many of them have very little tolerance for small-talk and "make-nice" conventional conversations.
Well, I am an iNTj -- Computer Consultant/Manager
ENTJ
By the way, I forgot to say I am INTJ.
Off to do a cake.
Me....INTJ - Business Owner & Homemaker
Mr.Pilgrim.....ESFJ - Transportation & Business
You may include me. Thanks!
Thanks for the wrap up of a INTJ. It is rather scary cause it describes me to a T. I am not a snob or aloof, just a quiet introvert who knows everything. :)

One thing I've noticed about INTJs: They are very thankful people!

Test gave me Rational rating, so would hazard a guess at ENTP.
