I Took The Myers-Briggs Personality Test
A few months ago, I was reading a technical question. The guy asking said he was a certain personality. My curiosity got the better of me, so I googled the acronym. I was taken to a personality testing website. Eventually, I couldn't resist anymore and took the 100 question or so test. The result came back as an acronym: I was an INTJ.
The website assigned the role of the Architect to an INTJ. I started to read through the description of the personality, and started to nod my head. I was so impressed with their analysis, that a few months later I decided to buy their premium package.
It turns out that INTJ's are very rare (2% of population). In film, its always the villain, the criminal mastermind. I don't like that, I don't like being compared to Mr. Burns form the Simpsons, or Hannibal Lector or Catherine Tramwell.
This personality test told me who I am, and how I behave. Now, I'm actually using that to my advantage. I am also a very strong advocate of people taking these tests.
"Smithers, are we done? Ex'cellent!"
