I'd been thinking about doing this poll, but I said "no...way to frivolous". Then over the weekend I saw Kos' post on urinals and thought "what is frivolous?" then I saw one of musing58's comments on
this thread and said well, why not.
So today's poll is on personality--specifically as defined by the Myers-Briggs Temperment Indicator, or whatever that thing is called. Many of you have already encountered this test at school or at work and may already know A) what I'm talking about and B) what your personality type is, according to the test
However, if you want to take the test and find out. Here's a short and fairly painless
version of it. If you want to know what your results mean in more depth, just type MBTI into your search engine and find out. If you think it's more or less a crock, you might like looking at
this.
Why do I ask, beyond simple curiosity? One reason is that I think a lot of "conflict" around here tends to come as much from people who have conflicting personality styles as much as people with conflicting values or ideology, since our ideological differences are not all that large.
The other is that although I don't think that the test is some sort of panacea, I think it's fun to know what other people are...or even better, to guess what other people are. So if you are a regular poster, and especially if you are a regular "personality" around here...indulge me if you want and post in the comment what you are.
Oh, I'm an INFJ, which the Kiersey people define as "counselor". Great depth of personality--almost psychic--oh yeah that's me alright :)
One more thing. There are 16 types so I'm going to break it up into 2 diaries. The types starting with "I" go first and "E" second.
