What are you?
Take the test here: http://similarminds.com/jung.html - http://similarminds.com/jung.html
INTP - "Architect". Greatest precision in thought and language. Can
readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. The world exists
primarily to be understood. 3.3% of total population.
Sounds like me, except depending what they mean by "the world exists primarily to be understood," that might not apply too much.

INTJ
I'm sure it hasn't changed since the last time I answered this poll.

Lol at how everyone who's voted so far is an I___. Guess we know why you're all on internet forums now.

I don't consider myself a huge introvert, but I'm not really that social and outgoing either.

Wanna guess what profession I work in?
Of course none of these say "you are a total creep, jerk, and mentally a moron, etc."
I would have to revise "The world exists primarily to be understood." to say that "A lot about the world can be understood these days if you take the blinders off, but don't we need some mystery to keep things fun?" This probably means I was lying on my answers.

Aren't you looking for a mechanic then? And don't speak of "fixing my car" I just had to get a water pump and valve gasket thingy replaced, it wasn't cheap, and I have to get two ball joints replaced before too long and that won't be cheap either not to mention around here we have to go in for emissions testing to pay a fee for the tag on our birthdays and now I've got to renew my drivers license, too I guess I could just bike to get around and eventually get run over by someone driving a big ass SUV...
Right now I'm mentally debating whether I should watch a music DVD or listen to a CD but I should really step away from the computer now.

Apparently I'm still INTP, (Introvert Intellectual) which is no great surprise either.

I've got to take that test again - no way I can be a 'Seller'! I wouldn't be able to sell anything if my life depended on it... 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 " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provider_%28Role_Variant%29 - 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.

Where's the other other old thread? The one Dean linked I didn't post in but I did post in the other one.

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 http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123129220146959621.html - 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.

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.

I normally fluctuate between INTP/J and it's normally split 50/50. I voted INTP just because that's what normally gets the 51%
