And all this time I thought I was a solid INTJ.

I agree with the writer that you should not put too much stock in M-B. These tests are classic modernistic attempts at human engineering. I think I was a pretty solid I and N but when it came to #s 3 and 4 I just went back and forth like a ping-pong ball. I will say this, however, in the way I learned it, however, it did teach me about dealing with certain kinds of people. For example, I learned that just because someone across the table did not emote, that did not necessarily mean they didn’t like you–they were simply processing you and your ideas differently than you might, which would include giving the speaker feedback and prompts. Anyway, I learned a few things that were helpful in dealing with other personality types but, indeed, one shouldn’t use it as some kind of final arbiter of either themselves or others. We’re all a hot steaming mess of traints and counter traits.
So, if you, honorable Blogmeister, were not a solid INTJ, what were you?
