Just to add to this body of knowledge I went to http://www.kisa.ca/personality/ (being the Sonja link above) and answered "I'm really in between" to every single question. Far from suggesting that I mighty be "taking the piss", it appears that ... "Your personality type is ESTJ. Extraverted (E) 50% Introverted (I) 50% Sensing (S) 50% Intuitive (N) 50% Thinking (T) 50% Feeling (F) 50% Judging (J) 50% Perceiving (P) 50%" I only suggest that other results of the Myers-Briggs test have equal validity.. but if they make you feel better about yourself, who am I to judge? In my haste to rubbish these tests, I may not have seen the "Are you bitter and twisted?" questions.. in which case my answers (and conclusions) may be wrong. If so, please accept my apologies. OK.

“Your personality type is ESTJ.
Extraverted (E) 50% Introverted (I) 50%
Sensing (S) 50% Intuitive (N) 50%
Thinking (T) 50% Feeling (F) 50%
Judging (J) 50% Perceiving (P) 50%”

I only suggest that other results of the Myers-Briggs test have equal validity.. but if they make you feel better about yourself, who am I to judge?

In my haste to rubbish these tests, I may not have seen the “Are you bitter and twisted?” questions.. in which case my answers (and conclusions) may be wrong. If so, please accept my apologies.

Looking at the questions I wonder why everyone doesn't end up as a "SING" -- Self-Indulgent Navel-Gazer. This stuff is worse than astrology... the trick seems to be to provide just enough positive statements about the subject that they - or more importantly "anyone with a pulse" - can identify with. If I worked in HR I'd think these tests were interesting... Fortunately, I am not one of the undead. I wouldn't worry about classification. All looks C.R.A.P. to me.
