I remember taking this ten years ago.
I just took it again, and came up with the same personality type.
I'm interested in others in the lifestyle taking this personality test, because I believe (with no proof, it's only a theory) that those of us who are drawn to this lifestyle are going to be in the more rare personality types.
Here's the test: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp

Mine turned out the same as ten years ago. I am the "champion" which comprises only 2-3% of the population. And HM is the "mastermind" which comprises no more than 1% of the population.

This is the profile of the champion: (frankly, it was kind of scary how well it pegged me)

Idealist Portrait of the Champion (ENFP)
 
Like the other Idealists, Champions are rather rare, say two or three percent of the population, but even more than the others they consider intense emotional experiences as being vital to a full life. Champions have a wide range and variety of emotions, and a great passion for novelty. They see life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil, and they want to experience all the meaningful events and fascinating people in the world. The most outgoing of the Idealists, Champions often can't wait to tell others of their extraordinary experiences.
 
Champions can be tireless in talking with others, like fountains that bubble and splash, spilling over their own words to get it all out. And usually this is not simple storytelling; Champions often speak (or write) in the hope of revealing some truth about human experience, or of motivating others with their powerful convictions. Their strong drive to speak out on issues and events, along with their boundless enthusiasm and natural talent with language, makes them the most vivacious and inspiring of all the types.
 
Champions strive toward a kind of personal authenticity, and this intention always to be themselves is usually quite attractive to others. At the same time, Champions have outstanding intuitive powers and can tell what is going on inside of others, reading hidden emotions and giving special significance to words or actions. In fact, Champions are constantly scanning the social environment, and no intriguing character or silent motive is likely to escape their attention.
 
 Far more than the other Idealists, Champions are keen and probing observers of the people around them, and are capable of intense concentration on another individual. Their attention is rarely passive or casual. On the contrary, Champions tend to be extra sensitive and alert, always ready for emergencies, always on the lookout for what's possible.
 
Champions are good with people and usually have a wide range of personal relationships. They are warm and full of energy with their friends. They are likable and at ease with colleagues, and handle their employees or students with great skill. They are good in public and on the telephone, and are so spontaneous and dramatic that others love to be in their company. Champions are positive, exuberant people, and often their confidence in the goodness of life and of human nature makes good things happen.
 
And here is HM's personality type:
 
Rational Portrait of the Mastermind (INTJ)
 
All Rationals are good at planning operations, but Masterminds are head and shoulders above all the rest in contingency planning. Complex operations involve many steps or stages, one following another in a necessary progression, and Masterminds are naturally able to grasp how each one leads to the next, and to prepare alternatives for difficulties that are likely to arise any step of the way. Trying to anticipate every contingency, Masterminds never set off on their current project without a Plan A firmly in mind, but they are always prepared to switch to Plan B or C or D if need be.

Masterminds are rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population, and they are rarely encountered outside their office, factory, school, or laboratory. Although they are highly capable leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once they take charge, however, they are thoroughgoing pragmatists. Masterminds are certain that efficiency is indispensable in a well-run organization, and if they encounter inefficiency-any waste of human and material resources-they are quick to realign operations and reassign personnel. Masterminds do not feel bound by established rules and procedures, and traditional authority does not impress them, nor do slogans or catchwords. Only ideas that make sense to them are adopted; those that don't, aren't, no matter who thought of them. Remember, their aim is always maximum efficiency.

In their careers, Masterminds usually rise to positions of responsibility, for they work long and hard and are dedicated in their pursuit of goals, sparing neither their own time and effort nor that of their colleagues and employees. Problem-solving is highly stimulating to Masterminds, who love responding to tangled systems that require careful sorting out. Ordinarily, they verbalize the positive and avoid comments of a negative nature; they are more interested in moving an organization forward than dwelling on mistakes of the past.

Masterminds tend to be much more definite and self-confident than other Rationals, having usually developed a very strong will. Decisions come easily to them; in fact, they can hardly rest until they have things settled and decided. But before they decide anything, they must do the research. Masterminds are highly theoretical, but they insist on looking at all available data before they embrace an idea, and they are suspicious of any statement that is based on shoddy research, or that is not checked against reality.


I'm very interested in hearing about your results and how you think this fits you.

Thanks!

By math, each personality type will represent an average of 6.25% of the population, and so we would all be rare, no?  Of course, some types are represented more than that, and some quite a bit less.

INFP.

Another INTJ here. I've taken this test numerous times and almost always the results are the same.

I'm an Artisan:
Artisan™ Portrait of the Performer (ESFP)
Performers have the special ability, even among the Artisans, to delight those around them with their warmth, their good humor, and with their often extraordinary skills in music, comedy, and drama. Whether on the job, with friends, or with their families, Performers are exciting and full of fun, and their great social interest lies in stimulating those around them to take a break from work and worry, to lighten up and enjoy life.
Performers are plentiful, something over ten percent of the population, and this is fortunate, because they bring pleasure to so many of us. Performers are the people for whom it can truly be said "all the world's a stage." Born entertainers, they love the excitement of playing to an audience, and will quickly become the center of attention wherever they are. Performers aren't comfortable being alone, and seek the company of others whenever possible-which they usually find, for they make wonderful playmates. Performers are smooth, talkative, and witty; they always seem to know the latest jokes and stories, and are quick with wisecracks and wordplay-nothing is so serious or sacred that it can't be made fun of. Performers also like to live in the fast lane, and seem up on the latest fashions of dress, food, drink, and music. Lively and uninhibited, Performers are the life of the party, always trying to create in those around them a mood of eat, drink, and be merry.
The Performers' talent for enjoying life is healthy for the most part, though it also makes them more subject to temptations than the other types. Pleasure seems to be an end in itself for them, and variety is the spice of life. And so Performers are open to trying almost anything that promises them a good time, not always giving enough thought to the consequences.
Like the other Artisans, Performers are incurably optimistic - "Always look on the bright side," is their motto - and they will avoid worries and troubles by ignoring them as long as possible. They are also the most generous of all the types, and second only to the Composer Artisans [ISFPs] in kindness. Performers haven't a mean or stingy bone in their body-what's theirs is yours-and they seem to have little idea of saving or conserving. They give what they have to one and all without expectation of reward, just as they love freely, and without expecting anything in return. In so many ways, Performers view life as an eternal cornucopia from which flows an endless supply of pleasures.

I am an ISTJ. 

I have taken the test several times and I have had it interpreted for work.  When it was done for work, what I found out was that I have no extroversion at all; I am on the extreme end of the scale.  It has helped me learn the skills that I need in order to balance my life.

I got an ENFJ this time and I am describes as "an idealist teacher".  I test differently each time I take this test - every couple of years or so.  I think my attitudes change as I learn more and develop as a person.  I have become more extraverted over the years as I am more comfortable with myself - less shy, more social.  Ask me again in a couple of years.

That's interesting Kyra.  When I took it  for work, I found that I am almost totally E. ENTP actually.

I'm a goldfish.

"ENFPs (Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceiving) are both "idea"-people and "people"-people, who see everyone and everything as part of an often bizarre cosmic whole. They want to both help (at least, their own definition of "help") and be liked and admired by other people, on both an individual and a humanitarian level. They are interested in new ideas on principle, but ultimately discard most of them for one reason or another. [(Love that one!)]

ENFPs have a great deal of zany charm, which can ingratiate them to the more stodgy types in spite of their unconventionality. They are outgoing, fun, and genuinely like people. As SOs/mates they are warm, affectionate (l ots of PDA), and disconcertingly spontaneous. However, attention span in relationships can be short; ENFPs are easily intrigued and distracted by new friends and acquaintances, forgetting about the older ones for long stretches at a time. Less mature ENFPs may need to feel they are the center of attention all the time, to reassure them that everyone thinks they're a wonderful and fascinating person."

I am also an INTJ.  Two major struggles in life have been over-coming shyness and introversion and learning that humans are not rational about emotions!

I think I am ENFJ...  This test doesn't come out exactly right for me.  A lot of my behavior is *learned*, or things that I do because they are the right thing for my mental health, not necessarily what I would *choose* to do.  I hate being around large groups of people, and a day I don't leave the house is a good day.  I need to RECOVER after a day at work dealing with the public.  But, if I follow my normal leanings and become a hermit, my mindset deteriorates dramatically.  So, I am jusssst on the E end of the scale, but only just.

interesting.. I just noticed that (on the thread re: this test, from back in August) that not much has changed for me.. I think one of the things went from distinctively expressed to very expressed

I try  so hard to be consistent and objective, but I come out slightly different every time I take the darned thing, to the point where it hardly seems worth bothering anymore because I don't feel I can rely on it telling me anything useful. I think I subconsciously fudge the answers; I'm pretty sure of it because I can al-l-l-l-most catch myself in the act every now and then. This month, I'm an apparently an ENFJ -

quote:


Extraverted feeling types seek continuity through harmonious relationships and collective values. They excel at picking up on the tone of a situation and acting accordingly, adding warmth to a cool setting or turning sour into sweet. They naturally seek to know what people do well, what they enjoy, and where and how they work. They seem to have an infinite number of acquaintances from all walks of life and are always on the lookout for people in need and those who can help out. ENFJs weave and strengthen the collective fabric of social conventions and interactions. Inclusiveness is important and they are particularly sensitive to those who are excluded. ENFJs focus on others, feeling a glow when those around them are happy, and troubled when something is amiss. They are natural cheerleaders, often expressing support, gratitude, and encouragement, and heaping praise onto those they appreciate. They take note of what is being done and what needs doing, offering their assistance wherever necessary. ENFJs enjoy organizing group activities and tend to take their commitments seriously. In general, they are reliable and do not like to disappoint others. As team players and project leaders, they have a gift for rallying their players, focusing on what is being done right and each member's strengths. They are loyal and they expect loyalty. They carry conversations well, finding common ground with their speaker. They tend to find the correct and gracious way to respond in any given situation, no matter how tense or uncomfortable it is.

Pretty accurate, I would say. Supposedly highly skilled at relationships, although I suspect they neglected to consult with my ex-wife before making that determination.

I've posted about this before here:


I've done the MB thing several times, but I think there is another test and personality scheme that is more accurate and takes into account a better continum: The Enneagram test.

Detailed breakdown and discussion of the 9 main Enneagram types.

A free online test.

And another.

I'm a Type 8: The Chief.

General comments

The Powerful, Dominating Type: Self-Confident, Decisive, Aggressive, and Combative

Basic Fear: Of being harmed or controlled by others
Basic Desire: To protect themselves, to be in control of their own life and destiny

The Eight with a Seven-Wing: "The Maverick"

The Eight with a Nine-Wing: "The Bear"

Potential Neuroses: Antisocial and Sadistic Personality Disorders

Key Motivations: Want to be self-reliant, to prove their strength and resist weakness, to be important in their world, to dominate the environment, and to stay in control of their situation.

Expanded Profile

Healthy

Self-assertive, self-confident, and strong: have learned to stand up for what they need and want. A resourceful, "can do" attitude and passionate inner drive. Decisive, authoritative, and commanding: the natural leader others look up to. Take initiative, make things happen: champion people, provider, protective, and honorable, carrying others with their strength.

At Their Best: Become self-restrained and magnanimous, merciful and forbearing, mastering self through their self-surrender to a higher authority. Courageous, willing to put self in serious jeopardy to achieve their vision and have a lasting influence. May achieve true heroism and historical greatness.

I think if you put much effort into reading about Enneagrams, you'll leave Myers-Briggs behind as primitive.
