When I first took the test 23 years ago, I tested INTP. The test was part of my exit from the military, along with a bunch of other tests to figure out what I should do with my life. At the time I was told that your type is engrained in your personality and not likely to change.
Two years later, in college I took it again (a different test I guess) and tested INTJ. Over the next 10 years or so I took these tests several times. Mostly because employers or college counselors wanted to see the results. I always tested as INTJ.
So today I was reading some more on Coppertop's thread and started thinking that it would be helpful to understand his and his wife's personality. So I started thinking about it and ended up finding a test online and doing it again. And what do you know....my personality has apparently changed. I'm now testing as an ISTP. Supposedly this is still pretty similar to INTJ. But in reading the descriptions, I do believe the ISTP matches my personality better.
What do you think of these tests? Are they useful in figuring out how to deal with people? What's your "type"? I've heard people say INTJ is just MBTI speak for "mild aspergers". :rofl:
