2.1% of us are INTJ

31 January 2007 Posted in Etc.

Recently I had to take the Myers Briggs personality type test. I initially found the test tedious and overly polarizing. However, upon further analysis I think it might actually be on to something.

Today I decided to take several online tests to see if the results matched. Lo and behold, they do. I, apparently, am an INTJ – or Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Judging. This type is also referred to as a Mastermind. I am not comfortable with the title “Mastermind” but I think the definition fits.

But here are the results.

INTJ – “Mastermind”. Introverted intellectual with a preference for finding certainty. A builder of systems and the applier of theoretical models. 2.1% of total population.

And another.
