Typical ESFP response....

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised at all if those who jump in to denounce Myers Briggs have similar personality types. Among all those I know who've taken it, myself included, it's been strongly indicative of their personality. And as I noted in another comment, three different tests have yielded the same results for me.

my results have been similar over the years, but have varied a bit. I was a bit more surprised that my IQ percentile didn't budge one bit over 30 years (tested as a kid, teen and adult).

I was under the impression the Meyer-Briggs was essentially pseudo-science?

There is one guy that actively researches the topic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNSlbnjqhV8 (I've linked to a short message he has on the subject, but he has a hour + 1/2 long video on youtube with his experiments data and results)
