Understanding Me

Not a talker. Forgets names. Stubborn. Ring a bell?

Today's rare no-strings-attached post is on personality, in particular the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) ones. There are sixteen types defined under this system, and the tests I've taken so far all agree - I'm an INTJ.

Bearing in mind the normal criticisms applicable to personality tests and the Forer effect, let's see what an INTJ is and how accurately it describes me.

Some traits culled from a bunch of sites [MyPersonality.info] [Lifeexplore] [PersonalityPage] [TypeLogic] [Similarminds]:

Plusses:

- Introspective (think so)
- Analytical (think so too)
- Determined (hope so)
- Background leadership (hmm)
- Strategic (hmm)
- Knowledgeable (some things)
- Decisive (reasonably?)
- Open-minded (reasonably?)
- Self-confident (some areas)
- Attentive (when interested)
- Responsible (things get done, just dun tell me how)
- Punctual (on balance, yes)
- Scrupulous (no comment)
- Insightful (hard to measure)
- Pragmatic (most things)

Neutrals:

- Theoretical (probably)
- Observer (many things)
- Perfectionist (when interested)
- Independent (mainly thoughts?)
- Skeptical (yah true)
- Expects reason and directness (yah)
- Respects competence over authority (yah)
- Single-minded (guess so)
- Values solitude (in more ways than one)

Minuses:

- Private (up to a point, or else this wouldn't be here)
- Loner (relatively true)
- Arrogant (tried not to. passed?)
- Tends to be pessimistic (hmm, not especially)
- Not very complimentary (very good, methinks)
- Not much fun (what sort of fun?)
- Socially uncomfortable (nail on the head)
- Guarded (true)
- Reserved (true)
- Cold (on bright side, a little warmth does nicely)
- No patience for small talk (well... wit or nonsense helps)
- Does not talk about feelings (guess so)
- Familiar with dark side (sounds cool)
- Hard to impress (show me the bunny)

Intrigued? Try a free test. Remember, it's not set in stone.

Spent the first few days of holidays immersed in DotA (very few actual completed games, sadly) and manga. Currently reading: Eyeshield 21 at OneManga (thanks Alvin for the site).

One kickabout session too, which reminded me of just how much I have to do to get in shape by 17th Jan for the IPPT. There's UROP and Facebook app stuff to be done too, lest I end up just trying to salvage the short term like this:
