What personality type are you?

Just a simple test to see where you fall on the Myers and Briggs Personality scale.

I tend to get either INTJ or INTP, depending on the day. I got INTP this time around.

I got INTP today as well. When I was younger I usually got ENTJ. Very definitely a "mellowing with age" does occur.

Ah, the Meyers-Briggs test. The equivalent of astrology reading for people who finished high school.

INFP-A. Though it was kind of overly simplistic. For instance, I am really shy around people I first meet or unfamiliar situations but once I actually know the people or situation better I am much more assertive and am more willing to take on a leadership role. That wasn't really an option on the test.

I actually got MBTI classes in college. It really isnt bullshit at all. It's just the world's best method of classifying people's personalities. If I remember correctly, about 89 out of the Fortune 100 companies use MBTI in their selection processes.
The classification method really does make sence and is probably largely based on genetics. In animals personalities are obviously genetic. The easiest example is dogs, whom are not only bred for the looks but also for their personalities. The same is probably true for humans. And when genetics are at play, classifications are possible.

One of the problems with MBTI is that it seems to pull people into black and white camps, whilst most people are grey(some more grey than others). Another problem is that many people don't seem to make the necessary distinction between behaviour and personality. Personality(inner factor) + learned experiences(outer factor) = behaviour

I got INTP today as well. When I was younger I usually got ENTJ. Very definitely a "mellowing with age" does occur.

As far as I know the test isn't meant for teenagers. Puberty messes things up a lot and creates too much confusion.
But according to MBTI theory people learn(should) and change in several stages of life. The older people get, the more balanced people become. It has something to do with hormonal production.

for an INTP:

• childhood: introverted thinking
• puberty: intuitive perceiver
• 20's: sensing judging
• 30's: extraverted feeling

PS: INTP here

The type that would find a new body of water to fish in?

Meh, I got INFJ-T. But I'm pretty sure last time somebody posted a topic about this, I got something a little different.

As already stated, these tests are way too black and white to accurately gauge somebody's personality. I suppose they could be useful in determining a rough outline, but to really get the details and be able to accurately categorize, we'd need a better test that allows for the shades of gray.

Actually, they're amazingly effective. If you actually use them and apply them effectively, you can get outstanding results.

I did this a month or two ago and got ENTJ.

It put up a little cartoon picture of Napoleon to illustrate what kind of person an ENTJ is. I'll take that.

Well you certainly do both have an admiration for China
Napoleon once said: "Laisse ce géant dormir, car quand elle se réveillera le monde tremblera."("Let the giant sleep, for when she awakens the world will tremble")

Yeah, we totally need a new fad already.
I suggest Enneagrams http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/dis_sample_36.asp
It has numbers, vaguely magical looking symbols, crazy spiritualist jargon, and is totally "scientifically validated".

I'm a Number One.
