Posted: 7/15/2008 9:43:54 AM | | INTJ: "Life's independent thinkers": Very few INTJs exist in the U.S. but they have a vast influence on corporate and academic life (think Ted Turner and Steve Jobs). They have the vision and will see it through to completion. Leadership skills enable this type to play a dramatic role in shaping U.S. corporate culture. Independence is the force that motivates. The perfect think tank specialist. the INTJ's natural partner is the ENFP, or the ENTP. INTJ's dominant function of Introverted Intuition is best matched with a partner whose personality is dominated by Extraverted Intuition. | |

I have done the Myers-Briggs many moons ago, and forget what it was.
I believe it may have been INTJ.
I did the test that Polly cited: My results:
Extroverted (E) 50% Introverted (I) 50%
Sensing (S) 50% Intuitive (N) 50%
Thinking (T) 52.78% Feeling (F) 47.22%
Judging (J) 61.76% Perceiving (P) 38.24%
ENTJ - "Field Marshall". The basic driving force and need is to lead. Tend to seek a position of responsibility and enjoys being an executive. 1.8% of total population.
ESTJ - "Administrator". Much in touch with the external environment. Very responsible. Pillar of strength. 8.7% of total population.
INTJ - "Mastermind". Introverted intellectual with a preference for finding certainty. A builder of systems and the applier of theoretical models. 2.1% of total population
ISTJ - "Trustee". Decisiveness in practical affairs. Guardian of time- honored institutions. Dependable. 11.6% of total population.
Since I fall pretty close in the middle for the two in each category and 50-50 for two of them, it shows that I am not extreme. I can see myself being all four of the above.
Yes, these personality tests have some merit .... but, I also feel that many of these tests and self-help books have the power of suggestion for some people and they will follow what they read, and not be their natual selves. | |

Posted: 7/16/2008 8:00:04 PM | I don't remember the numbers, but I know I'm very strong IN_P, near 100 % for those letters, and around 70% T. I remember somewhere that was indicated by I*N*TP*.
I rather liked this description of my type: (And yes, I do know what Fermat wrote in the margins of his book :)
INTP: The Egghead
The typical INTP is a logical, abstract thinker whose intellect is ideally suited to understanding pure mathematics, linguistics, formal logic theory, and other pursuits unsuited to making a real living. The INTP can often understand even the most subtle nuances of lattice quantum chromodynamics, but cannot perform more concrete tasks such as dressing himself, operating a motor vehicle, or opening a door. An INTP may be able to tell you how to construct a nuclear reactor from a coconut and two pieces of string, but may be completely incapable of fixing a hole in a boat.
The INTP is really only suited to two careers: college professor and game show contestant. Of these career choices, only one offers the financial rewards which allows him to suport himself; for that reason, INTPs often take the other path, and become tenured academics.
RECREATION: Surprisingly, INTPs are often the hit of the party--not for their sometimes annoying habit of turning every discussion into a debate about semantics nor for their fascinating stories about Pierre de Fermat's habit of writing things in the margins of his books, but for the fact that they often show up with their pants on backwards and that if you put a Post-It note reading "Kick Me" on an INTP's back, he won't notice it no matter how many people kick him. That kind of entertainment never gets old.
COMPATIBILITY: INTPs make ideal companions to INTJs, as neither of them notices they're in a relationship.
Famous INTPs include Pierre de Fermat and almost everyone who knows what Pierre de Fermat wrote in the margins of his book.

Posted: 7/17/2008 4:07:09 AM | Andrew Wiles originally published a proof in 1993, but there was an error. He republished the proof in 1995 which has so far been accepted as proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.
Given how Wiles solved it, no one knows what Fermat had in mind when he wrote
"Cuius rei demonstrationem mirabilem sane detexi. Hanc marginis exiguitas non caperet."
which has been translated as
"I have a truly marvellous proof of this proposition which this margin is too narrow to contain."
And, in keeping with my nature, I have to say it really should have been called Fermat's Last Conjucture until 1995, as it had never been formally "proven" to be true till then. | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 7:38:49 AM | Thanks for the update on Fermat's Last Theorem!
I did research for a bit ..... but, there have been many attempts to prove it!
With my quick research I could not see if it had been successfully proven.
I will have to look up that proof! | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 8:18:39 AM | I'm an ENTJ.... very, very strong NT, which is typical of N's. My E and J are weaker, esp the E.
ENTJ's are often psychology professors, researchers of different types, leaders, think-outside the box types. Able to problem solve, find new solutions.
Yep, that's me all right!

Posted: 7/17/2008 9:21:11 AM | | I am an INTJ, and every test ive taken even ten years ago gave the same results, except once where it came out INTP, that one was probably not as accurate. | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 5:55:53 PM | It seems if you give me a bit longer to prove it, Im more thinking than feeling than I am if you rush me, and less introverted.
Actually, although I did them minutes apart, I'm surprised my results aren't more conflicting... as my profile points out, I am a chameleon!
Didn't there used to be one of these tests on POF?
