What Do I Have in Common With Issac Newton, Katie Couric & Hannibal Lecter?

I've always had an interest in psychology and it's effect on behavior so when I came across this personality test, I thought, "What the heck. Let's see how screwy I really am." If you answer honestly, you'll be surprised how accurate some of these can be.

I knew it. I've always said that I think like a man. I'm not saying that I'm a man trapped in a woman's body.
I just process information more like the way men do.  That might explain my attraction to action movies, fart jokes and my affinity to grey sweatpants.  Supposedly, only 0.5% of females think this way (based on this particular personality test, anyway).

My Results:

INTJ - The "Strategist"   Temperament: NT (Intellectual) 

- The "Strategist"   (Intellectual) 

Primary Function: Introverted Intuition    Population: 1.5% (2.5% male, 0.5% female)

 

This test says I'm a Strategist. So true! I can remember waaaay back, sitting in the dark of night, with my sister, strategizing as we used to call it.  I'm often heard saying, "Life is like a chess game.  You have to think a few moves ahead." Well my

It also says I'm introverted. That's also true. I've learned how to turn it "on" when I'm interacting with people but I'm usually the one standing slightly outside the circle. I can be very lonely in a crowded room, full of people that I know. It's not that I'm not enjoying the company or the interaction, it's just that sometimes the conversation going on inside my head is a little louder than the talk outside.

My intuition is my guide.  Let's just say my friends (yes, I have a few) think I'm a witch.   I've learned not to fight it.  If I have a sense about something, it's usually freakishly close to being on target. 

 

Dr. Keirsey on the INTJ Rational Personality:

They are proud of themselves in the degree they are competent in action, respect themselves in the degree they are autonomous, and feel confident of themselves in the degree they are strong willed.

Ever in search of knowledge, this is the "Knowledge Seeking Personality" -- trusting in reason and hungering for achievement.

They are rather rare, comprising no more than, say, 1% of the population. ( I told you I was a rare loon!)

Okay, well...thanks for the complement but I don't think this site measures up to The Principia and The Declaration of Independence!

 

How well do you know yourself? The real you, not the you that upbringing and society have forced you to develop and present to the outside world.  Try taking the test and find out.
