Typealyzer — INTJ

My brain activ­ity while writ­ing on this blog

Adam just posted about a web­site called Typealyzer that attempts to fig­ure out your per­son­al­ity type by read­ing the con­tents of your blog. It reported that I am INTJ (Intro­verted iNtu­itive Think­ing Judg­ing), or “the Sci­en­tists.” From Typealyzer:

“The long-range think­ing and indi­vid­u­al­is­tic type. They are espe­cially good at look­ing at almost any­thing and fig­ur­ing out a way of improv­ing it — often with a highly cre­ative and imag­i­na­tive touch. They are intel­lec­tu­ally curi­ous and dar­ing, but might be phys­i­cally hes­i­tant to try new things.

The Sci­en­tists enjoy the­o­ret­i­cal work that allows them to use their strong minds and bold cre­ativ­ity. Since they tend to be so abstract and the­o­ret­i­cal in their com­mu­ni­ca­tion they often have a prob­lem com­mu­ni­cat­ing their visions to other peo­ple and need to learn patience and use con­crete exam­ples. Since they are extremely good at con­cen­trat­ing they often have no trou­ble work­ing alone.”

It’s pretty accu­rate for me. It’s actu­ally a lit­tle scary. And, I did a google search that turned up this INTJ Pro­file .

I ran some of my friends’ sites through and it was pretty hit or miss. It only reads the page you send it to, so it will have a wide range of accu­racy. Give it a try and let me know your results.

Update: After post­ing this I ran the test again and it changed to INTP (replac­ing Judg­ing with Perceiving).

   I’m not sur­prised that our per­son­al­ity types are so sim­i­lar (or, in your sec­ond analy­sis, iden­ti­cal). Prob­a­bly one of the rea­sons we have so many com­mon inter­ests. Cool stuff!

   Appar­ently I’m an ISTP — The Mechan­ics. Here’s the detailed description:

   The inde­pen­dent and problem-solving type. They are espe­cially attuned to the demands of the moment are mas­ters of respond­ing to chal­lenges that arise spon­ta­neously. They gen­er­ally pre­fer to think things out for them­selves and often avoid inter-personal conflicts.

   The Mechan­ics enjoy work­ing together with other inde­pen­dent and highly skilled peo­ple and often like seek fun and action both in their work and per­sonal life. They enjoy adven­ture and risk such as in dri­ving race cars or work­ing as police­men and firefighters.

   I feel like that’s a pretty deft read on me; I’m espe­cially fond of the idea dri­ving a race car.

   ESTP — The Doers

   The active and play­ful type. They are espe­cially attuned to peo­ple and things around them and often full of energy, talk­ing, jok­ing and engag­ing in phys­i­cal out-door activities.

   The Doers are hap­pi­est with action-filled work which craves their full atten­tion and focus. They might be very impul­sive and more keen on start­ing some­thing new than fol­low­ing it through. They might have a prob­lem with sit­ting still or remain­ing inac­tive for any period of time.

   ESFP — The Per­former. Myers-Briggs always calls me an ENFP.

   This was really fun. Any­one know of any more tests like this? Thanks for contributing.
