Extroversion results were medium which suggests you are moderately talkative, optimistic, sociable and affectionate.
Friendliness results were medium which suggests you are moderately good natured, trusting, and helpful.
Orderliness results were high which suggests you are organized, reliable, neat, and ambitious but probably not very spontaneous and fun.
Emotional Stability results were medium which suggests you are moderately worrying, insecure, emotional, and nervous.
Intellectualness results were high which suggests you are creative, original, curious, imaginative but possibly not very practical.

Interesting in that I found myself answering few questions with superlatives. i.e., only in a few cases did I “strongy agree” or “strongly disagree”. I disagree with some of the results here. I feel that I’m more or less in a few categories than they pegged me. They did say to take the test several times over a period of a few days.

And here is who Mssrs. Myers and Briggs say I am:
Introverted ( I) 52.5% Extroverted (E) 47.5%
Sensing ( S) 57.58% Intuitive (N) 42.42%
Thinking ( T) 58.97% Feeling (F) 41.03%
Judging ( J) 73.33% Perceiving (P) 26.67%


ISTJ - “Trustee”. Decisiveness in practical affairs. Guardian of time- honored institutions. Dependable. 6% of the total population.

Again, I slightly disagree with this. I’ve known for awhile that I vacillate between being an extrovert (E) and an introvert (I). I’m not strongly in either camp. The upside of this is that I can call on either side when necessary. I can get along in social situations, but still like solitude. The S/N I’m not clear on. The TJ part is a dead lock.
