I didnt really agree 100% with any of the answers but apparantly im a istj.Was a bit like an iq test only it didnt hurt as much.
All my answers were very much a close run thing - a lot depends on what I am doing/why I am doing it - I spend a lot of time in Am Dram but also a lot coaching/teaching and the mind sets are totally different for these activities.
I used to describe myself as an introverted extrovert/extroverted introvert....

Interesting to note a big majority of Is over Es - what does this mean?
PS Lay off the PC police - without them we'd still be paying a penny to laugh at the nutters in Bedlam.

I think it means that we'd rather be down in the woods on our own than be at the football match.
I was INTP also. This quickie version of the MBT really doesn't do justice to any of us but it does indicate a trend. Several of you mentioned that you really have mixed traits, and the whole test with evaluation will give a grahphical/numerical explanation. We all have a dominant mode, but we all adjust (or most of us do), given the situation. I have administered a few thousand of these in years of teaching, training and hiring in the sciences and engineering fields. What I find most interesting is the fact that the vast majority of the takers so far have predominant I and P as part of their make up and fluctuate for the other two. Not sure what it means, but if there are any University types using BCUK you may have the start of a good paper for a class. A questionaire about bushcraft preferences, places, alone, groups.......could be the basis for a new career.
Food for thought.

INTJ for me. A prophet type personality
"Without introverted intuitives, it is said that Israel would have had no prophets. Under deceptively conventional appearances lie perceptive minds that travel the breadth and depth of universal mysteries, contemplating its multilayered complexity, seeking the trends that will define the future. With time, clarity of vision comes. When it comes, they are propelled towards the vision and all their actions lead to it. They are perseverant behind a quiet exterior and will often come back with their vision long after everyone believes they have let it go.
What they see is so clear and obvious to them they are often surprised to find that others cannot see it as well. They may find it difficult to articulate the necessary steps towards implementation or to explain how each goal fits into the larger picture.
Their mind usually travels from the past to the future, seeking to fit a particular situation in a large context. It picks up patterns, symbols and images from different seemingly unrelated fields, identifies similarities and provides meaning. This can help solve problems by juxtaposing ideas, finding analogies or simply by rooting out the quintessential reality, discovering the origin in universal stories and human experiences, culling wisdom from the infinitely small to the infinitely large. Their mind naturally travels from the microcosm to the macrocosm.
They regularly have to face the difficulties of bringing dreams into reality. The time and effort it takes is always more than what their intuition initially suggested. They are determined, perseverant, inspired and often see things just around the corner, into the near or far future."

ESTP - Dominant Extraverted Sensing
Extraverted sensing types are pragmatic and realistic with a zest for living life to the fullest by way of multiplying experiences. Always on the alert for what needs immediate attention or what might provide a bit of action, excitement or entertainment, they engage quickly with their environment. They seek and enjoy freedom, are good-natured, direct, and tolerant and are often the ones who provide levity.
They have a way with dealing with people on a very equal platform and are not easily star struck. Rank, celebrity and status mean little when they are face to face with another individual.
On the job, they appreciate having the right tools and are quite ingenious at finding ways to fix and repair things with dexterity. They love variety and are curious and adventurous, enjoying the unexpected. Their brand of extraversion is one of deeds rather than words. As long as things are moving along, they are happy. They like to keep things simple and immediate, going with the flow. They are helpful in very concrete ways, providing the correct tools or specific service the person requires. They often have an uncanny ability to respond appropriately in cases of emergencies, often having excellent reflexes. They act without thinking. They also tend to have natural mediating skills.
They are attuned to the environment and the myriad colours, textures, sounds, beauty and the sensuousness of it all. They are quite graceful and agile while moving through their environment. They love having fun and if things are too quiet they may provide the entertainment or distraction. They learn by imitation and are keen observers. They teach through example. Their attention will always go towards whatever provides the keenest impression on their senses.
About right methinks.

INTJ - done this in full several times, and also wavered around to INTP and even INFP at times !
Interestingly, about 80% of bosses you meet in business seem to be ENTJs, but very few of them here. Probably why it's such a nice place (sorry to the ENTJs)
