What's your Myers Briggs personality type?

MTBI.

Some people LIVE by this personality type system. They look for love based on their personality type, pursue careers based on it, and find friends based on it. Some businesses even pay to have all their employees tested and assign work based on the results. While I personally wouldn't go that far with this, it's truly uncanny how well the personality descriptions can match you.

Take the test:
Similarminds
Cognitive Style Inventory
(both of these are really short)

What did you get? Does it work?

Here are some general type descriptions.
Here are some more descriptions.

Bit of an introduction to MTBI:

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator divides human personalities into 16 types. This system is based on descriptions of psychological types invented by Karl Jung (1875-1961), who is considered to be the founder of analytical psychology.

Personalities are determined by preferences:

Introvert (I) or Extravert (E)
Intuitive (N) or Sensing (S)
Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)
Perceiving (P) or Judging (J)

Note: Judging doesn't mean judgemental. It means you're more of a planner.

For example, for my result I get Introvert (I), Intuitive (N), Thinking (T), Judging (J)

INTJ. "Mastermind". Introverted intellectual with a preference for finding certainty. A builder of systems and the applier of theoretical models.

I'm kind of a borderline INTP... I could say INTx is my type since the last part is a bit of a wildcard for me. Overall, the more detailed type descriptions reflect my preferences for the way I think and act.

Skeptics say that these types are unverifiable and subjective, and who knows, that might be the case. But even if that's true, they are a great tool for taking a look at your own instincts and behaviors.
