I saw a tweet on twitter about the Jung personality test. My curiosity got the best of me, so I had to check it out and see what my results were. I want to archive the results, because I think a lot of them are spot on, so I thought what better place than my blog. Without further adieu, I give you the results.

• The above links describe my personality type in greater depth and provide some interesting tidbits. I’m going to share with you some of the ones that stuck out most to me.

• Here’s an Excerpt of Keirsey’s Analysis of a Mastermind:

• “Masterminds are rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population, and they are rarely encountered outside their office, factory, school, or laboratory. Although they are highly capable leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once they take charge, however, they are thoroughgoing pragmatists. Masterminds are certain that efficiency is indispensable in a well-run organization, and if they encounter inefficiency-any waste of human and material resources-they are quick to realign operations and reassign personnel. Masterminds do not feel bound by established rules and procedures, and traditional authority does not impress them, nor do slogans or catchwords. Only ideas that make sense to them are adopted; those that don’t, aren’t, no matter who thought of them. Remember, their aim is always maximum efficiency.”

An Excerpt From Keirsey’s Suggestions on Maximizing My Study Area:

“Masterminds (INTJ) care a bit more about their environment than Architects do, but once they are deep in a project, they can be even more concentrated and focused. The main thing a Mastermind wants is lots of uninterrupted time. They will skip meals, classes, even dates as they pursue the completion of a project.”

An Excerpt From Keirsey’s Finding Your Passion:

“The Mastermind (INTJ) is very focused as well, but more on an internal vision. They are good at solving problems and like to work on tough intellectual puzzles. They are often led into technical positions such as scientific researcher, design engineer, environmental planner. The developing field of genetics benefits from their intensity as does the field of medicine. In education they are most often found at the college and university level. In the professions, they may be a lawyer, a business analyst, or strategic planner. Some have a strong artistic/creative bent and may become an artist, inventor, or designer. Whatever they do, they do it with intensity. Says Kim, “I am constantly teaching myself something new in order to solve the problems that I encounter. My husband leaves me alone when he sees that I am caught in what he calls my “Thinking Time.” I’m unwinding knots even in my sleep.”

My decent into narcissism is drawing to a close. I hope you’ve enjoyed my results. I’m interested in yours. Go take the test here and post your results in the comments.
