Depending on my mood, and recent events I have scored as INFP, INFJ, and INTJ. Latest is INTJ. Rational: I am rational to a fault. Idealist: If it isn't worth doing right, don't bother. Artisan: I have been designing circuit boards and devious thoughts since age 9. Lately it has been building tables, bondage boards, and writing code! Guardian: I tend to fall naturally into the role of protector, whether at the bar, or at a friends party. I have the training to back up the role, too. This description is stunningly accurate - want to know anything about me, just read this: http://typelogic.com/intj.html !!! This description is also dead-on-balls accurate: Masterminds will adopt ideas only if they are useful, which is to say if they work efficiently toward accomplishing the Mastermind's well-defined goals. Natural leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command of projects or groups, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once in charge, however, Masterminds are the supreme pragmatists, seeing reality as a crucible for refining their strategies for goal-directed action. In a sense, Masterminds approach reality as they would a giant chess board, always seeking strategies that have a high payoff, and always devising contingency plans in case of error or adversity. To the Mastermind, organizational structure and operational procedures are never arbitrary, never set in concrete, but are quite malleable and can be changed, improved, streamlined. In their drive for efficient action, Masterminds are the most open-minded of all the types. No idea is too far-fetched to be entertained-if it is useful. Masterminds are natural brainstormers, always open to new concepts and, in fact, aggressively seeking them. They are also alert to the consequences of applying new ideas or positions. Theories which cannot be made to work are quickly discarded by the Masterminds. On the other hand, Masterminds can be quite ruthless in implementing effective ideas, seldom counting personal cost in terms of time and energy. It can be good to be rare. Yet it seems we have a fair number of INTJ's here... Certainly more than 1% of respondents
