Interesting

A few days ago Philip brought my attention to a post on Meebo about the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). I had actually once ran across this several years ago and posted it on my Myspace blog. I ended up testing the same now, as I did then. I am an INTP. Of course, reality is that humans can not be summed into 16 catagorize, but I find that of the few groups I do fit, I mostly fit into INTP. There are some crazy points that are so true (and a few that are way off).

Interesting facts about the INTP:


  • On personality trait measures, score as Candid, Ingenious, Complicated, Independent, and Rebellious
  • More likely than other types to study a foreign language
  • Most frequent type among college students committing alcohol and drug policy violations
  • Have lowest level of coping resources of all the types (with ISTPs)
  • One of types least likely to believe in a higher spiritual power
  • Highest of all types in career dissatisfaction (with INFPs)
  • In school, have lower grades than would be predicted from aptitude scores
  • More likely than average to complete engineering programs
  • Personal values include Autonomy, Freedom, and Independence
  • Overrepresented among working MBA students
  • Commonly found in science and technical occupations
Now, here is where they are way off...

Popular leisure activities for an INTP include
