Personality Type - MBTI (http://www.humanmetrics.com/)

[aneesu786]

My wife asked me to take a personality test called the MBTI, basically it gives a general idea of your psychological type.

I am curious as to what personality engineers get in general. I am a ISFP

Try to be as frank as possible

-----------MBTI Personality Description----------------

The first criterion, Extraversion - Introversion defines the source and direction of energy expression for a person. The extravert has a source and direction of energy expression mainly in the external world while the introvert has a source of energy mainly in the internal world.

The second criterion, Sensing - INtuition defines the method of information perception by a person. Sensing means that a person believes mainly information he or she receives directly from the external world. Intuition means that a person believes mainly information he or she receives from the internal or imaginative world.

The third criterion, Thinking - Feeling defines how the person processes information. Thinking means that a person makes a decision mainly through logic. Feeling means that, as a rule, he or she makes a decision based on emotion.

The fourth criterion, Judging - Perceiving defines how a person implements the information he or she has processed. Judging means that a person organizes all his life events and acts strictly according to his plans. Perceiving means that he or she is inclined to improvise and seek alternatives.

The different combinations of the criteria determine sixteen possible types. Every type can be assigned a name (or formula) according to the first letters of the combination of the four criteria. For example:

ISTJ

Introvert Sensing Thinking Judging or

ENFP

Extravert INtuitive Feeling Perceiving

^ I think I read once that ISTJ is the most common type for Engineers. I'm INTJ.

 

[cdcengineer]

ISTJ

Although some questions seemed as though they were not applicable..

 

[kevo_55]

I'm an ISTJ as well.

I was pretty up in the air between the T and F though.

 

[aneesu786]

Very interesting, I was also guessing that most engineers would be INxJ

My wife is a medical student and is also the same as me: ISFP .

I wonder if actors and politicians would be on the other end of the scale.

^^^ Seems my personality has shifted slightly over the last 4 years from Sensing to Intuition.

It's also funny to find my old "guest" posts...

I seem to bounce between N and S also. Must depend on my mood that day.

I always screw those things up... I once went to a class and they analyzed them and us... they told me that it was because I picked a career field not typical to my personality and had to retrain my brain to think outside of its preferable parameters...

 

[aneesu786]

Haha I should have searched mudpuppy.

 

[Capt Worley PE]

He could probably use a good patdown.

By Mr. T nonetheless!

 

[aneesu786]

I promise to be gentle ... :whipping:

 

[aneesu786]

[Master slacker]

Really? Hasn't this been done before?

Yeah.

 

[YMZ PE]

ENFJ. Famous ENFJs include MLK Jr, Ronald Reagan, and Oprah. I'm definitely in the wrong field.
