FWIW, some info from Introduction to Type: A description of the theory and application of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator by Allen Hammer (editor), Consulting Psychologists Press, 1989, and Type Talk by Otto Kroeger and Janet Thuesen
Note: the names (Extrovert/Introvert, etc) represent the far ends of the respective scales. Most people are not at the end of a scale but somewhere toward the middle. Therefore, depending on the circumstances, a person may lean one way or the other. Some of us, however, find ourselves all the way at the end of a scale and cannot seem to move toward the middle, no matter how hard we may try. Myers Briggs type indicators can be helpful in understanding ourselves and the people who surround us.
Where do you focus your attention: on the outer world or inner world?
- Extroverts are energized by what goes on in the outer world. They prefer to communicate by talking over writing. They need to experience the world in order to understand it. 75% of the population
- Introverts are energized by what goes on in their inner world. They prefer activity that takes place quietly inside their heads. They like to understand the world before experiencing it. 25% of the population
How do you acquire information?
- Sensors focus on details first; they may not ever see the big picture. 75% of the population
- Intuitives focus on the big picture first, looking for patterns and relationships. They may not ever see the details. 25% of the population
How do you make decisions?
- Thinkers predict the logical consequences of a choice or action. They make decisions by analyzing and weighing the evidence, measured against an objective standard of truth. 50% of the population (65% of males)
- Feelers consider what is important to themselves and to other people. They make decisions on the basis of person-centered values; on how much personal investment is involved. 50% of the population (65% of females)
How do you orient toward the outer world?
- Judgers tend to live in a planned, orderly way, wanting to regulate life. They're list makers. They like to make decisions, come to closure, and then carry on. 50% of the population
- Perceivers like to live in a flexible, spontaneous way. They like to gather information and keep their options open. They may never come to closure. 50% of the population

I've gotten IOFJ. I agree with most of the results but for nature, I think i'm more thinking than feeling but only slightly.

INTJ
I've taken the test a few times over the past 20 years, and got the same result every time. INTJ describes me perfectly.

I am comfortable in My own skin. As for so-called personality tests? I don't have an opinion.

Let's save the surprise. I'd easily estimate 70% of the people on this forum are probably INFP, 10% INTJ, and other types remaining.
