ENTJ here, no surpise. I recently did a “True Colors” test with a group of other women. I turned out to be Green (viewed by others as insensitive & sarcastic), while almost everyone else was Blue (viewed as overly sensitive). It explained a lot!

I don’t really need to be in contact with others, but I like it. This is a quick quiz if anyone else wants to take it. I also feel like I correspond closely to ENTJ, but that perfectionist part of INTJ sums up my persona very well. http://www.personalitytype.com/speedreadingpeople Your Profile You are an INTJ (Introvert, iNtuitive, Thinker, Judger) INTJs represent between 2 and 4% of the U.S. population INTJ’s are perfectionists. They tend to be exceptionally innovative, strategic, long-range thinkers who pursue excellence in everything they do. Their strong need for autonomy and achievement – and their faith in their own original ideas – drives them to reach their goals.

Not particularly bothered by indifference or criticism, INTJs are among the most independent of all the types, and work productively alone for long periods of time. With original minds, great insight, and vision, INTJs are natural brainstormers. They are naturally theoretical and work well with complex and global concepts.

i said this when it first this topic first came up and I’ll say it again… whats the deal w/ all of us being ENTJ when its supposedly ~2% of the population!!! I guess our personalities turn all the others off and away from the forum??

The actual max for a classification from this table is ISFJ at 13.8% on this table: http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/6707/types.jpg

Haven’t taken the test and I doubt I ever will. Last time I took a personality test was for a government job and I scored almost exectly in the middle on the grid, which shows that it is as much about magnitude as direction. All this INTJ and KCUF stuff seems like malarky.
dup
I wonder if being an extrovert and having CFA, MBA, etc. would make one much more likely to succeed
ENTJ over here.
I am ENFJ for the record. So the options are introvert/extrovert, Intuitive/???, Thinker/Feeler, Judger/??? What are the two missing options? I’m glad I’m a feeler rather than a thinker. What does judger mean? Does it imply you are judgemental is is it something else? EDIT: Just looked back through the old posts and found that in January '09 I was also an ENFJ with J being my lowest %. How’s that for consistency? Gives me slightly more faith in the test results even if I don’t know what they imply.
INTJ. I think I’ve tested out as ISTJ at times in the past. The I, T & J are very strong though.
Looks like I’m one of those few people with ESTJ.
