ESTP as always.
E – Extraversion preferred to Introversion: ESTPs often feel motivated by their interaction with people. They tend to enjoy a wide circle of acquaintances, and they gain energy in social situations (whereas introverts expend energy).[5]
S – Sensing preferred to intuition: ESTPs tend to be more concrete than abstract. They focus their attention on the details rather than the big picture, and on immediate realities rather than future possibilities .[6]
T – Thinking preferred to Feeling: ESTPs tend to rely on objective criteria rather than personal values. When making decisions, they generally give more weight to logic than to social considerations.[7]
P – Perception preferred to Judgment: ESTPs tend to withhold judgment and delay important decisions, preferring to "keep their options open" should circumstances change.[8]

INTJ. Interesting results form NSG as a whole though, especially the preponderance of I and J.

INFP

Introverted (I) 86% Extraverted (E) 14%

Go me.

INTP

[Apertior]

I've taken at least a half-dozen different variations of the Myers-Briggs, and every time I end up as either an INFP or an INTP.
I suppose that means I am equal parts thinking and feeling, which seems to describe my outlook fairly accurately. Your logic must temper your emotions, and your empathy must modulate your reason. Neither must control the other, for you run the risk of either becoming either a fool or a machine.

[Tiesabre]

I just noticed something...the people on this forum who I seem to gravitate towards are INTPs as well.

[Risottia]

Should be in my sig.
Yes, it is. And my best friend is an ENTJ - we work wonders when we team together in RPGs or browser games.

Rational Portrait of the Mastermind (INTJ)
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.

Now my one from keirsey.com for INTP.

Architects are introspective, abstract, informative, and attentive. The scientific systemization of all knowledge, or Architectonics, is highly developed in Architects, who are intensely curious and see the world as something to be understood. Their primary interest is to determine how things are structured, built, or configured. Architects are designers of theoretical systems and new technologies. Rearranging the environment to fit their design is a distant goal of Architects.

Architects are logically and verbally precise. In casual conversations, they may be tempted to point out errors the other speaker makes, with the simple goal of maintaining clarity within the exchange. In serious discussions, Architects' abilities to detect distinctions, inconsistencies, contradictions, and frame arguments gives them an enormous advantage. In debates, Architects can sometimes be devastating, or alienate themselves from the group with overly logical arguments.

Architects tend to analyze the world in depth. They prefer to quietly work alone and they may shut other people out if they are focused on analysis. This, coupled with the fact that Architects are often quiet, makes it difficult for other individuals to get to know them. In social exchanges, Architects are more interested in informing others about what they have learned than they are interested in directing the actions of others.

Credentials or other forms of traditional authority do not impress Architects. Instead, logically coherent statements are the only things that seem to persuade them. Architects highly value intelligence, and can be impatient with people with less ability than they have. Architects often perceive themselves as being one of the few individuals capable of defining the ends a society must achieve and will often strive to find the most efficient means to accomplish their ends. This perspective can make Architects seem arrogant to others.

It doesn't matter how pseudo the psychology at the end is as long as it makes enough generally vague predictions that no matter your result, it sounds JUST LIKE YOU, because that makes you feel vindicated in your personality, and isn't that nice?

This is entertainment, at best. It's kind of like reading your horoscope, but it's cloaked in pseudoscience instead of mysticism. Mine said I was an INFP too, which is fairly accurate, but I'd say I think at least as often as I feel when I'm considering a subject. Usually, my feelings are caused by my thoughts. I don't think you need to be a heartless bastard in order to be logical. I really didn't like the questions that forced you to choose between the two.

Indeed. This was annoying when the HS guidance types tried it. It was annoying when my mom got into it. It was annoying back in June. And now it's an annoying zombie thread.

As I pointed out previously in this very thread, the "test" is unreliable, unscientific, a good example of the Forer effect, and generally invalid.

Here is a good way to tell if you're have a personality that is prone to imagining rain;

Go outside. If you think it is raining, turn to the person beside you and ask them if they think it is raining. If they say that they think it is raining, then you probably aren't imagining the rain, and it probably is raining.

It is probably, therefore, safe to say that you don't have a psychological disorder that leads to imagining rain. One less thing to worry about.

Unless the person beside you has the same disorder.

Then you're up shit creek without a paddle.

I'm not denying that Myers-Briggs it's an interesting enough thing to do, and to be fair I always get the same result, but it's nothing to take seriously...

MARRY ME.

It doesn't matter how pseudo the psychology at the end is as long as it makes enough generally vague predictions that no matter your result, it sounds JUST LIKE YOU, because that makes you feel vindicated in your personality, and isn't that nice?

"I think it's right, because it sounds like how I think I am."
"How did it come to that conclusion?"
"I told it how I think I am, and it came up with a satisfactory way of summing that up and rephrasing it in such a way that it sounds completely original"

Nice.

I suppose some people can take comfort in the self-justification and reassurance it provides.
