Who has taken the Myers Briggs?

[Paul]

I did 15 years ago. I was, (and probably still am), ENTP. What was somewhat unique about me was that I was solidly in each of the function-attitudes. I wasn't just a littel bit E, I was all the way to the corner E.

Anyone else?

Yeah, I took it about 10 years ago when I worked for a large employer who wanted to make it look like they cared about professional development.

I'd have to look it up. I seem to remember being a bit of an unusual grouping. I'll take a look tonight. If nothing else it was quite entertaining at the time.

We do yearly management training at my office that's based around M-B and Keirsey tempermants. Also did it in high school way back in the early 90's. I'm ISTP, have always scored as an ISTP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISTP_%28personality_type%29), and have always agreed with that assessment actually. The stuff is interesting, but as with all things I do: I use it in moderation.

ENFP! Absolutely fits most of the time but I was an INFP once.

[WarrenG]

INFP the last time I was tested and interviewed.

I've done it more than once in my life--you have to take these with a big grain of salt--you're given choices where sometimes all the choices are important to you, and sometimes none of them are--but they get given equal rankings.

They're also easy to manipulate if you're so inclined.

Many moons ago, and I can't remember what I was.

Edit: Just read the types on Wiki - I think I was INTP

I do this every 2 to 3 years or so and when I do, I do it twice in the same week, 3 to 4 days apart. It's interesting to see the profile that comes up depending on what I go through in my life but on average, the profile that's come up more often is INFJ: "the "counselor". This profile accounts for about 1% of the population. A bit of an oddity. No surprise there.

Interesting concept.

I wouldn't take your results too seriously. I deal with standardized tests at work. In my experience, such tests rarely measure up to the claims of the companies who sell them...Besides, "Carl Jung's theory of psychological type, which the MBTI attempts to operationalize, is not based on any scientific studies."

Why do you make all your posts bigger?

Why do you make all your posts bigger?

I've had operations for cataracts and a detached retina. I have a 21" monitor set at 1024x768. I can read the smaller print, but it just looks nicer to me. When someone writes a looooonnng paragraph - I just don't read it. If it is a long post, and it is an interesting thread, I cut and past it into my word processor with a larger font. That way, reading it doesn't get irritable.

When I think about it, I got into this habit before the operations when the glasses couldn't quite properly correct for the cataracts.

A detached retina? How did that happen? Are you a boxer?

For people who are very near sighted, the eye ball is more elongated. I didn't look into the physics of the thing, but there is apparently more tension on the retina after a lens implant for cataracts. There is a 1 in 200 chance for a retina detachment. I won the the lottery on that one.

I reread this post with that eye. Looked wobbly, but I could read it, Operation was five weeks ago.
