Personality Types

Greatest precision in thought and language. Can readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. The world exists primarily to be understood. 3.3% of total population.

Actually it did - so was I lying then, or am I lying now? 

I usually come up INTJ, but this time around I came up different (ISTP?) - read a few posts down from the post you quoted

I don't consider myself particularly extroverted (though I am not really introverted either), and my profile said I don't like being alone - which is as far from the truth as you can have. Would "Provider" be more appropriate?   Providers are often attracted to the sales and service occupations. They are usually good sales representatives as they are visibly and honestly interested in the customer’s welfare. They are also skilled in other people-to-people careers such as social workers, clergy and teachers.

Not particularly.... I used to be a teacher, but I am much less extroverted than the test would have me be. I am perfectly happy in my own company, and I'd rather be alone than with people I don't feel comfortable with. I am also not particularly popular with people in real life, and as a consequence I have very few friends.

The worst are the 40 page automated tests they give. One of the questions is how many people do you think cheat on their taxes, along with "Do you believe that all of a person's problems are their fault?" How am I supposed to answer this crap? I can think of a million problems that are not the victim's fault, yet I am positive they want me to answer Yes, they always are because I am a drone who also takes personal responsibility. And of course 250 variations on "Do you ever think it is all right to steal?", since I'm sure thieves are too dumb to lie.

INFP. The Questor.

What?

I'd like it better if it was louder.

I find the trends exhibited in this poll interesting, albeit unsurprising.  My personality type (INTJ) is represented heavily here, whereas it is one of the least common types in the general population.
