Most of you are probably already familiar with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test. Here's a link to a free test if you want to try it:

also, here's a second test that gives more options for answers than a simple yes or no
[url]http://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test[/url]
For those of you who don't know, the test is based on Extroversion vs Introversion, Sensation vs Intuition, Feeling vs Thinking and Perceiving vs Judging. If you have taken the test, feel free to retake it and tell us your personality type. I'm curious to see if there's a correlation between type, Destiny and forum activity.
I have my suspicions about some of you.
[i]Edit: Once I reach a certain threshold of responses (say about 50), I'll most likely compile a list, so you all can see what the community looks like.
Update: Posted a running count of the types surveyed in this thread. I will try to keep the list as up to date as possible, so long as people continue to list their types.[/i]

Edited by Tom T: 8/22/2014 6:17:34 PMKinda ashamed that I went through a strange phase, to distract myself from unfortunate life events, where I thought way too much about this. The system has little real application, beyond being able to appreciate that people are not all motivated by the same things -- which should be obvious! In fact, I would say the system has the potential to do more harm than good, as people, rather than developing their empathy or self-knowledge, seek to try and understand themselves and others through a very restricted framework. It's okay to have a bit of fun with, but don't give it too much thought.
