Whats your type? No you... not the person you are looking for...

So I was reading Time Magazine yesterday. It seems that companies are starting to use Personality Test in their Hiring programs. 89 out of 100 of the Fortune 100 companies use the Jung-Myers-Brigg Test to determine peoples personality.
So before you have to take the test to get a job, how about taking it to see the results.
My type?
ENTP - "Inventor". Enthusiastic interest in everything and always sensitive to possibilities. Non-conformist and innovative. 3.2% of the total population.
Extroverted (E) 75% Introverted (I) 25%
Intuitive (N) 65.79% Sensing (S) 34.21%
Thinking (T) 57.89% Feeling (F) 42.11%
Perceiving (P) 60% Judging (J) 40%
I'm pretty middle of the road on this stuff... But the inventor does describe me the most.
So why not go take the test yourself.
Post your results, and Jeremy the Psycologist will have a full analysis of the misconstrued community.
Go Take the 53 question test. (Try not to put the middle as much as possible... this means you don't know who you are)

what would be interesting is to save entries like this and then compare the results to future results...like take the test every 5 years while you're a kid, a teen, in your 20's and so on...and see if your type ever changes....I know mine definitely has.

I've been ENFP ever since I first took the test three years ago, and shockingly enough, every time I've taken it I've been ENFP. The last time I took it I wasn't even close to being anything else. Go figure, eh?

Weird I took this a few months ago and I was an INTJ adn was a "rational mastermind", now it says I'm a ISTP. So the question is did my personality change or was it just the mood I happened to be in when I took it?? If I take it in a few months will I still be the same?? I guess I will have to wait and see.

Ok, so I realized this was a different version of the test i took in the past the original one was at :
http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes1.htm
I took it again there and I was still an INTJ, which in my own opinion is more fitting for me, but who knows. I wonder if anyone else would get different results there too?

I used to be a ENTJ... but recently more an ENTP..
one is more the military chief in making major plans and a mover and shaker... the other an invetor. Thats where I wanted to end up... So molding my personality has possibly worked...
as for doing it all previous... this has occured.
I was the same type then...
