#13On behalf of an ex-girlfriend, I feel obliged to point out that the Big Five personality test is a lot more well grounded than Briggs Meyer, and is the one that's used in actual scientific research these days.

#15You've forgotten to include COOL.
ha! I would've picked that one if it was available, but no, I'm just an INTJ like pretty much everyone here. Comes with the job territory.

#16I'm going to predict that most of the votes will be for INTJ (including mine) or INTP. That said, how valid are the results of the MBTI?

#20See http://www.andrewlipson.com/lstest.html for the Lipson-Shiu Corporate Type Test, a tongue-in-cheek variant that I suspect will appeal to many HN readers. (I'm apparently an ICIE.)
