Poll: Hacker News (Myers-Briggs) Personality Types

What is your Myers-Briggs personality type?

If you don’t know you can find out at http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp or on Facebook at http://apps.facebook.com/my-type/.

For info on the types, check out profiles at http://www.personalitypage.com/portraits.html and http://typelogic.com/

I am interested to see how much we differ from the average population. The average #s appear in parenthesis after the choices, and were copied from http://www.geocities.com/lifexplore/stats.htm

Obviously only choose one type. (And none of the links above are associated with me in any way aside from the fact that I just copied and pasted them.)

In theory these are default states - if external factors are removed, what would you revert to?

I default to INTP but can ramp up the E as needed (and these days I need it more an more). I can mess with the other values too, but I/E is the easiest for me to play with.

I/E isn't as much about whether you are "outgoing" or "gregarious", etc. It's really more about whether you:

* Process things internally/externally * Get energy from being with people or find being with people "draining"

I'm also an I who has learned socially acceptable things like public speaking, participating in group discussions, etc. but a couple of hours in such a group and I'm exhausted while my E wife is energized.
