[livejournal.com profile] kaygo is branching out. According to Myers-Briggs I am:

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.
Take Free Myers-Briggs Personality Test


Kind of fits a fantasy writer.

I did get that impression. So many of the questions, if I had been able to answer with my real reaction, would have come out to, "Huh?" or "Who cares?" Also they ask your gender, which indicates that the test has an underlying bias.

One thing one of the tests does--Global, I think--is equate intellectual with solitary or isolated. I came out "Sensate" on that (on the Ennead I'm Sexual--hmmph), which doesn't feel like me at all. I sent in a comment that intellectuals are not all hermits, and the life of the mind does not preclude the life of the body.

Scary that these blatantly biased and highly subtextual tests are the basis of so many institutions' hiring practices.
