Personality test

Out of interest, took the
[[http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp][Meyers-Briggs
Personality Test]] today. I remember back in my college days I was
pretty strongly INTP. What surprised me is that the test now places
me as INFJ (indeed, many of the questions I answered differently
now than I would have back then). I am only 1% away from the
midline between Judging (INFJ) and Perceiving (INFP), and found
much of myself described by both categories. Also, my introverted
and intuitive aspects were rated as 22% from midline, while feeling
is 56% away from thinking (which corresponds to my disenchantment
in recent years with theory, and a greater desire to get to know
things by how they affect me, first-hand). An interesting test,
Meyers-Briggs is based on the same psychological foundation as the
book I have been reading by Jung. Whatever its accuracy, what a
person reads into it is bound to reveal something about
themselves.
