Word -- nice link! Call me a huge geek (most folks do), but I love learning about and self-assessing such psychological instruments. Never studied any psychology at school, but I always wish I did! This one seems to be based on the Jungian Typologies. For this type of breakdown, I'd also recommend the descriptions for the Myers-Briggs types and dichotomies: www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/mbti-basics/(Mybers-Briggs Type Indicator -- MBTI -- is a commercial product based on Jungian types. It's hella popular in some US business circles.) Other similar instruments for personal research and amusement: KTS - Keirsey Temperament Sorter example free 'quiz': www.keirsey.com/sorter/instruments2.aspxBig Five ("Five Factors") personality model example free 'quiz': www.outofservice.com/bigfive/Dr. Google and the Wikipedia are great resources for this sort of thing. The fun in is the learning and understanding what goes in to these measures! |

Oh, and as an FYI -- my MBTI type: INTJ
(how many acronyms can you throw in one line, eh? ;-D)

Apparently I am an INTP. I've taken one of these tests before and I can't remember what the result was. When I read the mini-description and saw "1% of population" I thought "hmm I dunno if I'm that unique" but then I read the long detailed description and it felt like I was reading a character bio of me to the f****** letter!

Thanks.  I also like to learn stuff like these and had also planned on studying Psychology at college. I didn't push through with it though. Thanks for providing other links about the subject too. Oh, and after taking the test twice. It looks like i'm an ISFJ. |
