Wow, congrats on a lot of work on your part. Also, I found it quite amazing at how lopsided FR is. There are so few Artisans on FR compared to the other types. I wonder how close that holds to the general population.

Don't let the tags mislead you. I test INTJ or ISFJ, depending on the day, but I'm making home-made kraut and cheddar cheese right now.

I've got a wood-shop and machine shop that make the tools to make the tools to do any damn thing I want. And I use them.

I've got a commo settup that would put a third world intellegence agency to shame, work code at 13 wpm, play piano, paint (water color only right now), and cook for the USAFR.

Oh... and I code in most flavors that unix offers. Including AWK.

Among other things.

Don't let these parlor games affect your thinking...

I'm an infj, I cook and sew and knit. I'm pretty good at designing this stuff, but that's my anal engineering side, and introvert side. I get math, and love to be alone. It drives my kids bonkers. I also have an mba, so the business side is pretty strong, and I can be social, but more so when needed. That is my creative side. I can call upon the creative side to carry me through social stuff, although I prefer not to engage in it if possible. The two actually blend, engineering and mba.

I believe that Artisans are ~40% of the general population.

And keep in mind that Artisans are also known as Dionysians (using the Kiersey-Bates system of nomenclature) ... which means that most of them probably don't have the desire or patience to sit down and answer a bunch of questions ;-)

The respondents to this test were self-selected, which means we ended up with lots and lots of Introverts (who are only ~25% of the population) because Introverts enjoy this kind of thing ... and relatively few Extroverts and Dionysians/Artisans (who are each a pretty large segment of the population, ~75% and ~40 respectively) who DON'T generally enjoy this kind of thing ;-)
