Hey fellow RWEDers. I found out about this test just about an hour ago from my brother. Originally, he only knew about the joke descriptions of the results from his friends on MySpace. I thought they were pretty funny, but what I found was suprising was the accuracy of the test in explaining the way I act and feel about a lot of things. I hate to admit that one could be pigeonholed so easily, but I took the test twice (deliberately trying to get the "Cult Leader" type on the joke test) and I got the same results. Even the joke description, though largely exagerated, seems rather frighteningly fitting. I know it's long and I don't expect anybody to actually read mine, but if you're wondering why I'm such a pain in the ass about things, I thought this would be as good a way as any for somebody to understand where somebody like me is coming from when it sounds like my posts are coming from fantasy land.
I think it would be pretty interesting for others to take the test and share thier results too. I couldn't bring myself to read other descriptions on that site, but I think it would be easy to do if I had somebody I've chatted with to match to what I was reading. I usually pass on all these tests, but this one seems to have a bit more thought put into it then the "Which Hobbit are You" test or whatever.

Here's mine for anyone who cares. I'll start with the joke one. Anyone who's had any dialogue with me in here should get a laugh out of it. Oh... and I thought it was pretty funny to see that Mel Gibson was an INFJ too. I always felt I had a certain kinship with him.
INFJ: The Conspiracy Theorist
Beneath the calm, collected exterior of the INFJ lies the horrible reality of someone who has seen The Truth. The INFJ knows what other people are too naive or too brainwasted to admit: the Conspiracy is real. Mistrustful and suspicious, the INFJ is not easily fooled, and does not take the word of the government-controlled medico-military-industrial complex for anything. Whether it's uncovering the plot by butter-eating Jews to clog the arteries of Christian folk with artificial margarine or discovering the secret laboratory in Tibet that's producing legions of Jimmy Carter clones that will be sent out to seize the manufacturing facilities in the Guangdong Province of China under the pretext of inspecting chickens for influenza, there is no lengths the INFJ won't go to in order to blow the lid off the whole thing.
INFJs can often be found holding down jobs as AM radio talk-show hosts. They can also be found driving taxis in the greater Washington, DC area. Other common jobs often held by INFJs include vagrant, loony, whacko, and writer/director/producer of the television show "Seinfeld." INFJs can also be found feeding that crucial bit of information to determined FBI agents just before they are brutally murdered.
RECREATION: INFJs often come home from a hard day's work exposing conspiracies about how the government is poisoning us with mind-control agents spread by passenger airliners and unwind by spending all night writing Web sites exposing conspiracies about how NASA faked the Bush election.
COMPATIBILITY: INFJs are usually happiest and most successful in relationships with Julia Roberts, though the relationships may not end happily.
Famous INFJs include...well, if I told you, I'd have to kill you.

I think it's safe to say that the MBTI is the widest used personality profile. Definitely the most profitable. I vaguely remember a discussion with a friend in the psychological instrument distribution field who told me the MBTI was generating on the order of ten thousand in royalties monthly a decade ago. Carl Jung, whose work is the basis for the inventory, probably saw not a dime of that. Briggs and her daughter Briggs Myers died long before the inventory became popularized. As far as utility? Meh. I'll let others be the judge. I'm a much bigger fan of the Adjective Check List.
IIRC I come in at an iStJ with slight on the t and close to zero on the J. Which, going by the links, puts me in the same group as Fred Mertz, Cliff from Cheers, Eeyore and Puddleglum from the Narnia series. Oh, and George Washington. So there's that.

Ahhhhhh.... iStJ.
So you ARE a member of the Thought Police. I thought so. lol

Thanks for playin'. I wasn't aware that this test was so widely used. I know that I automatically try to manipulate them and I fail miserably at that. They have a minigame in Final Fantasy X where you have a job and you can get raises at certain points depending on your answers to a personality profile test. Needless to say, I've never gotten a single raise based on my test results. Even a damn game knows that I'm trying to cheat at it. I'm thinking the only reason that I got honest answers here is because nothing was at stake and I actually took the test it was made to be taken..... honestly.

The only problem is, with my J somewhere in the neighborhood of less than 5%, I really can't muster up the effort to get off my butt.

HA! Yeah... I got that problem too a lot of the time. If I had only one argument with my test results it is the level of motivation it claims my type has. It comes and goes... sometimes I obsesess about something to it's fruition and other times I let things slide longer than they should and I've got to work double to pick up the slack. Generally, I'm more of an armchair warrior than the guy you see chaining himself to a tree. Glad to know you can be just as lazy on the other side too.

I wasn't too sure on a couple of the questions (because both answers or neither could fit depending on my mood in a given situation), but the end result does remind me of me, so I'll just say that there might be something to this thing.

EDIT: Hey Soup, did you like Bush Sr? Because apparently you and he have a similar personality! Don't worry, I've got Rumsfeld and Giuliani.

Yeah... I think the same thing about most of the online tests, and it's funny you mentioned that because I said the exact same thing to my brother when I was taking it. When I did go back the second time though I made some of those changes but the overall verdict was the same.
I see you're the Outside Contractor. I'll keep that in mind when I need my Death Star created or I need somebody to lay off the incompetent people I employ. Baaaah... I'm just kidding you man, us wacko conspiracy nut AM DJ's don't have enough money for Death Stars or employees.
My condolences on Rummy though.

Nevermind, found the answer to my question.

I've done this sort of test before, but it also included an 'instinctual stack' modifier that rated three basic instincts from most to least important to you.
They were Sexual, Social, and Self Preservation. Sexual wasn't just about sex, it meant you seek intense relationships with other people, so you'll be attracted to friendship and interaction with 'high energy' people, Social is fairly self descriptive in so much as you prioritise socialising, and Self Preservation is prioritising practical matters of survival, food shelter and so on.
Anyway I got:
Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving (INFP)
Which I share with (amongst others):
Homer
Virgil
Mary, mother of Jesus
William Shakespeare, bard of Avon
E.T.: the Extra Terrestrial
Tommy, Rug Rats cartoons

Seems like the two sites don't coincide with the examples they give. For instance, in the Keirsey description for INTJ they give Ulysses S. Grant as an example, but in the Butt and Heiss description Ulysses S. Grant is listed as being an ISFP. Would one personality component differ I guess it'd be understandable (not an exact science), but three is a bit much.
