A "Jungian" personality test and my results

My personality?

INTJ - "Mastermind". Introverted intellectual with a preference for finding certainty. A builder of systems and the applier of theoretical models. 2.1% of total population.

Though this test is a bit flawed (specific questions would improve it enormously), this is about right.

I took a lot of these in college (more along the lines of Myers-Briggs) and I seem to remember showing up more often as an INTP. I have become a lot more introverted than I was back then. The "INT" part has definitely remained a lot of who I am. And actually, shifting from P to J may have done some to get me a little more grounded. I used to not worry as much about how my toughts intersected reality. I think the J has become more prominent as my beliefs have become much more definite in light of having to test them against reality for a decade or so . . . I'm much more certain of some truths now!
