| Thanks, Lydia! | Jun 30, 2008 |
Hi Lydia,
I work mainly as a writer/translator, and also as a consultant/trainer. While I am usually skeptical about such tests, this one seemed pretty darn accurate (it says most writers are INFP...).
Your personality type is INFP.
Introverted (I) 68% Extraverted (E) 32%
Intuitive (N) 64% Sensing (S) 36%
Feeling (F) 80% Thinking (T) 20%
Perceiving (P) 55% Judging (J) 45%
Thanks for the chance to gain insight!

Intuitive (N) 95% Sensing (S) 5%

And I find the description quite fitting :
"INTPs are pensive, analytical folks. They may venture so deeply into thought as to seem detached, and often actually are oblivious to the world around them.

And I find the description quite fitting:
"INTPs are pensive, analytical folks. They may venture so deeply into thought as to seem detached, and often actually are oblivious to the world around them.
Precise about their descriptions, INTPs will often correct others (or be sorely tempted to) if the shade of meaning is a bit off. While annoying to the less concise, this fine discrimination ability gives INTPs so inclined a natural advantage as, for example, grammarians and linguists.
INTPs are relatively easy-going and amenable to almost anything until their principles are violated, about which they may become outspoken and inflexible. They prefer to return, however, to a reserved albeit benign ambiance, not wishing to make spectacles of themselves." http://typelogic.com/intp.html ▲ Collapse

This is just terrible: I thought I was good at perceiving things!
As for jobs, they really caught me:
- "Computer Programmers, Systems Analysts, and Computer Specialists": Well, I WAS a computer programmer for many years before entering the crazy and beautiful world of translation, so they really caught me here.
- "Accountants and Financial Officers": Indeed my first job was as an accountancy assistant.
- "Military Leaders": And I was once in the Spanish army and found that it was actually nice to be a Corporal!
