My Personality Type: INTJ

Monday, November 21st, 2011

I took several long Myers-Briggs personality tests and the result was always the same:  I am definitely an INTJ.  However, on one exam I came awfully close to an INTP.  They gave a percentage indicator for each letter, and on that particular exam I was like 60% Judgement, 40% Perceptual.   Apparently we’re the most [...]

Goodbye Grandpa

Saturday, October 22nd, 2011
