Hey Khyron,
I know SignyM and I are both atmospheric chemists. But since we both have to investigate/ design/ develop new methods etc it to some extent satisfies what I call my 'creative' (intuitive) side. I spend a lot of my free time designing things from scratch. SignyM has said he spends a lot of time thinking about economies and societies from a structural standpoint.

Oh, why not...
When we did this in my psychology class, I was an INFJ (scary, scary, just like Jack). When I did it with this particular test, I was an INFP.
We also talked about how the American Psychological Association doesn't really use it because it's basically a glorified horoscope. It tells you all these good traits you have, but nothing bad. I mean, who wouldn't want to have a "unique perspective" or "complexity of character and unusual range and depth"?
Sure, there are certain character traits which this test does well on - introvert vs. extravert being the best example - but, the average person on the street can tell the difference between someone who is very social and outgoing and someone who isn't.
(Sorry, just had to put the D in RWED. Won't happen again. 
)
But, sheesh - I am not a conspiracy theorist!

Of course you are! We've all talked about you and that's what we figured out!

Yinyang, out of all the people here, I didn't expect you to be the one to spoil the fun. Now we have to go back to verbal fisticuffs for our entertainment.
This might be interesting, for people who want to see what personality typing says one's weaknesses are (for some reason listed under 'relationships'):

Their constant quest to improve everything may be taxing on relationships
Y
Tend to hold back part of themselves Y and no. When my beloved grandmother died I realized "People come first". I don't have a long list of those people b/c life is short and resources are limited, but my family comes before everything else.
One of the hardest things for me to learn was to say "yes, yes, I know, I'm sorry, it sucks, doesn't it" even when family members were lambasting me or criticizing people who didn't deserve it.

Oh my...
I'm not THAT bad, am I ?
This coming on the heels of an AD&D Alignment quiz a bud sent me that kicked out "Chaotic Evil".
I think they need to redefine the questions, as not every Anarchist (social destruction being seen as "evil") is a bomb throwing loony.
I'll readily admit to wanting a launcher armed HemiCuda tho.

Another excellent site with extensive descriptions that tell the good and bad aspects of each type. Further sections cover career, relationships and personal growth (includes the bad characteristics). Click the icons at the top to get to the other types and info. For what it's worth I am an INFP.
