ISTJ  That book was written about me.  I wish I could remember the results when I did this test some 35 years ago.

ISFP.

I've taken the full test administered by an aptitude assessment professional, and I came up INFJ, which seems a lot more like me. Not sure what skewed my results here. Unless I've changed pretty dramatically since I took the full test several years ago.

Short or long version, always the same - INTJ.  Though some who know me think it is actually spelled JERK.    :D

I am seeing a pattern :) 

Pan is the only extrovert ( and my guess is she is lying)  or she took the test wrong somehow. ::oldman::
And we  all mostly use the judging strategy.

 I agree also that IDP is probably more INFJ-- the professional test is longer so it wears you down, and they can see if you answer consistently the same way to the same questions phrased a little differently.   It also defends against you answering the way you would like to be vs. how you are..but change is possible. I expected a different result, but apparently not - except I have become FAR more introverted.  In college I actually tested as an extrovert. I have since discovered that I really don't like other people after all, and the last thing I want to do is "lead" them..

 I suspect that almost all strong conservatives are going to be introverts.  We just don't want the Herd meddling with us.

Yes, its spelled Jerk in the real world.  I rather suspected we would be the same. We make up something like 1-2% of the population.
The Psychologists also want to use a INTJ result to indicate a Aspergery diagnosis.  Yeah, whatever you say , you social-sciences studying  lower life form. :)

They just hate us because we are intelligent and immune to their herding techniques.

I have only begun to annoy them.   :D

I'm not an extrovert.  I didn't lie. (You lookin' ta peck a fight, boy?)   I gave a lot of thought to my answers, maybe too much and that's where things went "wrong".  I'm not "popular" and don't care to be, 'sides I don't have many friends.  I don't have difficulty introducing myself and I walk through the center of the room upon arrival anywhere in order to find my host/hostess -- because that's the proper and polite way to behave -- rather than skirt along the wall.  I do know the truth hurts, but if you ask my few friends if that ever kept me quiet, they'll look at you like you're crazy and ask if you've met me.

Yeah, you must not have answered right.  In this sense extrovert means you ENJOY and WANT TO deal with other people, not so much if its "difficult"   
If you feel exhausted after a evening out with strangers (or in crowds) you are probably and introvert.  If  that gives you more energy ( sucked and stolen right off of the introverts I  guarantee you) then you are an extrovert.  You should read the question as "Would you prefer to meet and greet the host/hostest and then hug the wall talking to just a few people, or would you relish having to talk to every Tom, Dick, Harry, Jane and Jill at the shindig on the way to greet the host/hostess?"


I was once classified as Extrovert too - I had a job in Sales where I would constantly be giving presentations and having meals with strangers.. and yeah back in college I would gain more energy from that interaction.  I was still a jerk- I just made an effort to make sure everyone knew it.

To a certain degree I still like meeting people  but now its more like data mining - after all, I already have a wife (I always wanted mental intercourse on the first date)  and a few close friends. Like Sheldon on Big Bang Theory,  having any more friends would mean someone has to go.. so   don't waste my time with chit chat about the weather. Tell me who you are, and what you have learned and why you would be worth the effort of "incorporating another person"  into my circle of friends.  Give me the elevator pitch, because 2 minutes is all you have. ...

INTJ here too.

That this group is only supposed to be 2% of the general population and is emerging predominate here is not a surprise, and most everyone I think is a J, and most are I's and the N's and S's are interchangeable with the T's and F's.

Besides, this is more a soft default than hard one in many cases, it is not impossible for differing types to agree on something, it might just take different paths and more or less time to get to the same place, all that is required is a mind open to question itself and accept new data.

For example, I've always been an INTJ whenever I've taken this, and this type typically is pretty certain of itself and sometimes struggles with those who do not see the wisdom we think is so obvious...but I am not so wedded to an idea that if given the proper data I am incapable of adopting a new understanding, but where I am certain I am certain.  It is what it is.

Some outfits I've been with took it too far, had people's group included on their fricken cubicle/office nameplate.  They wanted you to understand the person who might be different than you when approaching them with some work task.  Screw that noise!  Either you are open to ideas or you are a close-minded dogmatic tool unable tho think and reason!

There I go again.  Of course my opinion matters most, naturally.   ;D
