Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

I find that knowing my own and other people's personality types can be helpful to understand behavior and motivation, and therefore help find the logic in apparently confusing or contradictory behavior. This tool can then help counteract the classical mistake of assuming that behavior in others is caused by the same motivations or understanding of the world as one's own.

This is what I got:

Your Type is INTJ

Strength of the preferences %

Introverted - 78
Intuitive - 75
Thinking - 38
Judging - 22

What did you get...?

I got the same.... the description I read says that the INTJ profile is very rare, occurring only in about 1% of the population. So, what's more likely? That you and I are among the few elects, or that this figure is wrong?

I think there is a substantial bias here: in the test, people describe themselves the way they wish they were, not the way they actually are.

Statistically speaking, the largest type is about 15%, I believe. You could apply the same reasoning there, that they are more likely to get the wrong results than to belong to that particular group -yet everyone falls into some type.

In general the "NT" are out of and are the ruling class but you know this. I'd be guessing which single category ranks 15% but in the world it would be one of the "Artisan" in the USA might be a "Guardian"

Carless

My New Year's resolution: to give up my car. I will donate it to a charity, and bike, walk, or bus to wherever I need to go. The advantages: helping the environment, saving money, improving my health by exercising more, and perhaps most importantly, find out if I have enough self-discipline to do it. Disadvantages: increased travel-time and reduced mobility. No late-night social events. Innability to give my friends rides, no large-bulk cargo hauling ability. My last attempt lasted two weeks. I am determined to make this second try last longer. P.S.: This isn't entirely an intellectual decision. I have never liked this car, even though I've owned less appealing vehicles in the past, I just could never entirely befriend this one. Sorry, car. I guess that makes it in part an emotional decision.

Way back when, at the turn of the millenium, I was part of a big family called Genuity. As in all families, there were disagreements, triumphs, bitter fights, great friendships, and the bond of common goals and struggles. It was in a way, a coming of age, a rite of passage at a critical time. Though for me it only lasted three years, it seemed like much longer -they were after all, not regular years, but internet years, and events that would normally develop over months, took only weeks. We were all still riding the internet boom, and things happened fast. Not surprisingly, they also ended fast. The much anticipated crash was finally beginning to happen. Then came the coup de grace on 9/11. Three rounds of lay-offs later, there was no longer a "u" in Genuity, as the joke went -and a pink slip was my inspiration to migrate westward. A few months after that, Genuity was little more than a billion-dollar garage sale. It is amazing how quickly time erodes the past. Today, while
