As part of my career planning fun, I took a Jung Personality test (http://www.humanmetrics.com/) and my personality type is:
Your Type is INTJ
Introverted - 56%
Intuitive - 88%
Thinking - 88%
Judging - 78%
This apparently means I'm a moderate introvert and strongly intuitive, thinking and judgemental... can't win them all. This type is also known as the Mastermind Rational and, apparently, makes up just about 1% of the population. There are a couple of descriptions of the type:
There are even interest and support groups for my personality type.
This happens to be one of my favorite quotes (I had to pass through several links to get here, so I do not know the original source of the material, but thank you whoever you are):
"INTJs are natural leaders, although they usually choose to remain in the background until they see a real need to take over the lead. When they are in leadership roles, they are quite effective, because they are able to objectively see the reality of a situation, and are adaptable enough to change things which aren't working well. They are the supreme strategists - always scanning available ideas and concepts and weighing them against their current strategy, to plan for every conceivable contingency. "
The general concensus is that INTJs like to organize things and tend to wind up as engineers... so there is a reason why my CDs are arranged alphabetically by genre and there's more to my being an engineer than just needing to pay off my student loans.
