I am ArGuIdRa.
Same here. I'll freely admit that a lot of this stuff might be hokum, but I do seem to get the same result every time I take one of these tests, and the description of an INTJ personality type does sound a lot like me.
I figure that there has to be at least some truth to it. :lol:

This subject has come up in a few other threads around here recently, so I thought it might be interesting to post the test above for the whole board to take.
I'm honestly curious to see what kinds of personality types DP seems most likely to attract.
As for myself, I am a "Rational" INTJ (Introverted 67%, intuitive 50%, Thinking 63%, Judging 23%) type.
INTP whatever that means which I suspect is not much. These things IMHO are like horoscopes they might get the general gist and that's as far as it goes.
To be fair here, it is just a tad better than that. :lol:
Horoscopes are wholly arbitrary. They're basically like fortune cookies. They make something up, and it either vaguely sounds like you, or it doesn't.
Personality type is based off of a person's temperament and personal preferences. I'd certainly agree that things probably aren't as neat and tidy as the test makes out, but it's hard to deny that some people do seem to legitimately favor certain types of thought patterns and behaviors over others on an innate basis.
It is also hard to deny that some of those temperaments and preferences seem to fit into readily classifiable archetypes as well.
Have you had a good astrological horoscope (birthtime down to the minute and worked from there) done on you? Those things can be uncanny. Really weird. I haven't looked into the mechanics but I have had some detailed readings done and they can be about as accurate as the personality tests. Maybe its an expectations thing in the mind.
I think your right on the preferences thing and how they can be classified.
I started a thread about this a while back.

The options included percentages of each personality type.
I'm INTP.
These "tests" are bullcrap.
I don't need a stupid test to understand my personality traits.
Only a mental cripple searching for an ego massage would.
