Thanks, Merili. I did this one first for a reason. I suspect that the percentage on this web site will be a lot higher than in the general population. I hope everyone will post the results of their test here so we can see if my theory is correct. :-)#8: Deana L (FFsWife) on Jul 26, 2009
Haven't taken one of those tests in ages, but last time I did, I was ESTP. I don't think that works anymore....#9: Joanna Hinks (jchinks) on Jul 27, 2009
I took the Myers-Briggs test years ago and I'm INTJ. I suspect you're right about the skewed statistics.#10: Jan Wolter (jan) on Jul 27, 2009 [SPOILER]

Jan, you are a tough judge to please. :-) Thanks for the great story. It makes perfect sense.#12: Gator (Gator) on Jul 29, 2009
INTJ here.#13: Jota (jota) on Jul 30, 2009
ENFJ#14: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jul 30, 2009
Aha, another intuitive! I'll get to you extroverts in a few days. :-)#15: Barb Edwards (babarann) on Jul 30, 2009
INFJ. My son is too, which does not surprise me. We'll never know what my husband and daughter are, because they'll never have the patience nor enough interest to take the test. Maybe that's a clue to their type.#16: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jul 30, 2009
LOL, Babarann. I think I remember reading about a study that shows when it is voluntary, the IN's are more likely to want to take it. So my theory about the people on this site isn't really valid, unless EVERYbody takes it and posts their results. Anymore Extrovert Sensing types out there?#17: Gator (Gator) on Jul 30, 2009
You should keep a running total in the first post. :)#18: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jul 31, 2009
I think that's a good idea, Gator.#19: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jul 31, 2009
For anyone who hasn't taken the test yet, here is the link:

Here's a site that has very interesting descriptions of the different types. I suggest taking the test first, then reading the description here:
http://www.xeromag.com/fun/personality.html
I decided to post the stats info as a topic on the Forum so I can include puzzlers who might not see it here.#20: Francie (eicnarf) on Aug 1, 2009
The xeromag personality descriptions are hilarious. Apparently my greatest (only) hope for financial success is to be a contestant on a game show. (My mother once caught me answering Jeopardy questions while doing the Sunday New York Times crossword puzzle!)#21: Robyn Broyles (ginkgo100) on Aug 1, 2009 [SPOILER]

LOL, Fancie and Robyn.#23: Teresa K (fasstar) on Aug 16, 2009
Deana, the next puzzle is for your type. If that is indeed your type. Did you check to see if you are still ESTP?#24: Deana L (FFsWife) on Oct 27, 2009
No, haven't gone back to check. Have intended to several time, but haven't gotten to it... I *know* it's no longer me though... I last took the test my first year of college... I've changed a lot over the last year, nevermind the last almost 20!!#25: Teresa K (fasstar) on Oct 27, 2009
It will be interesting to see if your type is the same or not. I believe I have changed drastically since the first time I took it 20 years ago, but I'm still INFJ, almost INTJ. Take the online test and let us know!#26: Deana L (FFsWife) on Oct 27, 2009 [SPOILER]

Thanks, Deana. That makes one more "Innie" to count. I can make myself act extroverted when I need to, like when I'm presenting to a large audience. It's fun, but it's more like acting and not my true self, which is a little quiet lady who likes to create and solve puzzles. :-)#28: Linda Martin (ilovethispuzzle123) on May 5, 2011
teresa, you are the most creative puzzlist on this site. i love your concept of using the cats playing chess to illustrate this puzzle. this was so fun to solve, too. i took the test:#29: Karen Elizabeth Cairns (karxan) on Dec 2, 2020
I 89%
J 56%
T 38%
N 12%
2 of the 5 people who have most influenced my thinking are also INTJ's: ayn rand and stephen hawking.
Hi Teresa, thank you for your puzzles.#30: Donald Clysdale (don) on Dec 2, 2020
I always think "Yay!" when your puzzles come up
INFP

Another fun puzzle. Many years ago, in my high tech job, I was ISTJ. When I got early retirement 20 years ago, I was retested as INTJ, with N by a small margin. Now I am INTJ with 28% I, 22% N, 25% T and 6% J. This is probably closer to what I really am.#31: Teresa K (fasstar) on Dec 3, 2020
Again, thanks for your puzzles.
Cheers,
Don
I love that we have so many intuitive introverts here. So funny, but not surprising.
Karen, thanks so much for your comment. I have not made too many puzzles lately, as my vision is worsening. But I feel inspired to make an anagram puzzle for YOU, because your name looks like there could be some interesting possiblities. Stay tuned.
Don, thanks to you also. I don't think I have made an anagram puzzle for you either, so be on the look out. :-)
