Is the Pub Infested?

Mitch · Post by **Mitch** » Thu Feb 16, 2006 10:15 pm

A relatively new divining stick called Myers Briggs personality typing has been pointed in the pub!

Like a lot of divining rods it tends to point in the dowser's area of interest on a statisically high basis.

Personally, I use a goat .. or a whistle, these seem to be interchangable at the moment (so it's a good thing that I don't have a goat).

Are we indeed infested with INFJs and INTJs??!!

Only time will tell - the Poll may be useful, but that's only according to my goat

I don't have the patience to sit through the Myers Briggs diagnostic. Count me as Adult-onset ADHD.

Indeed, my bile runneth over

I once did a test involving drawing a picture of a house, a snake, a path, a lake, a goat etc etc .. The tester proclaimed that I was "amoral !!!!". It wasn't until I got hold of a dictionary before I realised the compliment! Perhapse it had something to do with the fat tartan snake and polka-dot goat dancing a jig that I drew in the foreground

Obviously it is. Seems I'm an INFP, the 'Healer Idealist.' According to that I should be driven to heal the board of its infestation; becaust I can't possibly do that, now I'm all conflicted and stuff. Worse, my profile thingie says I have to perform some act of self-sacrifice to atone for my failure. Oh, great.

INTJ here. Gee, it came up 100% introverted - I needed a test to tell me that?

The web site broke when I took the test. I got a flashing message that said, "Commit yourself immediately".

What's with the INFJ AND Sagittarian choice? Are you trying to flush me out? Well you did.

No wonder I like it here.

Would someone please explain to this simpleton what the abreviations are representative of?

Actually I did take one of those M-B tests,
some time back, and it said I was an INTP,
ever what that bit of trivia's worth.

Here's an article on M-B type and leadership. W is an ISTJ - "3. Little Reanalysis - Once choice is made, will not change course, unless facts overwhelm them". The net is loaded with this stuff. http://cbae.nmsu.edu/~dboje/teaching/490_psl/step_6.htm

Dale - What's your take on all this?
********************************
Below is a link to professions by Myers-Briggs type.
http://www.ecu.edu/artsci/cas/advising/careers.htm

My own take on Myers-Briggs is that it's pretty valid, interesting, and fun. It's also static. Knowing ones type doesn't offer much insight into growth and development.

I'm an INTP. Here's the INTP list. I have degrees in politcal science and policy analysis, have done a lot strategic planning design and management, and, new program development and implementation at work.

I design Computer Software (Software Designer) and Make Whistles (Arts & Crafts) and other things. Does that put me in both categories.

Maybe:
Left Handed
But blind in Left Eye (forces right eye and left hand coordination to cross both sides of brain)
Interested in many forms of science
Likes making things

I think I'm out of the box or I can't decide which one.

If I'm out of the box, does that make me the pest exterminator? Or maybe the pest.
