Uhh, I really hate INTJ personalities, most are so uptight centered on being judgmental. The "worker bee" personality that I see at IT/software places. INFP ftw, feeling up and perceiving people over thinking and judging people!

Hahaha I hate them too (INTP here), unfortunately lots of people I interact with are INTJ, which is why I like to be alone, I think, well maybe that's not the only reason.

They are perfectly described by Miguel de Icaza in this article: http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2011/Feb-17.html

Not sure if this happens to others but in my case some times I'm ENTP and others INTP. I guess I'm somehow in the middle and it might depend on the day.

Me too. What is pseudo-science doing on HN?

There are many pseudo-coders here.

And pseudo-entrepreneurs (who may be real coders)

32% of HN is part of the rarest personality type? I cannot help but laugh.

I'm feeling pretty judged by this comment.

I always get either ISTP or INTP, depending on the N/S questions.

I like to understand the risky situations I find myself in.

This is a really difficult poll for me, and honestly it changed once I started learning to code (3 or 4 months ago). I used to read comments and articles of people that liked quiet space and time to think, or of people who hated open office spaces, and think, "They probably just don't like being around people," or even "They probably just don't like people ." I thought that the idea of being "wired in" was just as ri…

I find it interesting that you feel a struggle yet your scores show a very solid personality. I have the same struggle.

I have always been right in the middle. Used to be a class clown and popular but also had extended bouts of depression where I didn't want to interact.

Nowadays, when working, I want to shut everything out and just code. But I used to be the opposite. Was in service and loved talking to people. Even if I'm not very good at it.

When I was in service, I would usually only hang out with a core group and only occasionally. Now that I'm coding, I want to experience everything in my free time. Meet people and be uncomfortable.

Although I did answer "it depends" to probably 75% of the questions, I think my results reflect somewhat accurately. The only thing that is solid is intuitive. The rest are right on the fence.
