HB Fans and Meyers-Briggs Personality Types

[Mike59]

I'm ISTJ

(edit): Compiling the results so far, those who were on the fence and mentioned 2 types were not included:
INTJ 10
INTP 3
ISTJ 3
ENFP 2
ENTJ 2
ESTJ 1
ENTP 1

Any newbies like me want to add to the sample?

INTJ

I usually test as ISTJ, although I'll test as INTJ every now & then.

When comparing a list of famous ISTJs vs INTJs, I strongly self-identify with the ISTJs.

I'm similar.  I have tested as both ISTJ and ESTJ.  Although the older I get, the more "I" I become, for whatever reason.  As posted above, my more recent results are INTJ, and I do identify more with the examples.

I was introduced to the Myers-Briggs over 30 years ago. Bought a lot of books on it and, for awhile, it was an avocation as I formally and informally tested over 100 people.

I have taken the test a few times and I am a classic, prototypical - ISTJ. Not borderline on any of the four. I am each of the four decidedly with no doubt.

I was originally going to start a poll on this, then decided just to make it a thread since it's probably kind of a niche topic.

The Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator is a questionnaire, heavily influenced by Carl Jung, that determines which one of 16 personality types is most dominant in the person completing the questionnaire. Naturally, this is just one particular model of personality types, and some people's types change over time. But the idea is that most people tend to land in one of the 16 Meyers-Briggs categories most often, and that is roughly the person's "type."

Each of the 16 personality types is denoted by a string of four letters: E (extroverted) or I (introverted), S (sensing) or N (intuition), T (thinking) or F (feeling), and J (judgment) or P (perception).

I'm interested in finding out whether one or two of the 16 Meyers-Briggs personality types are disproportionately represented among the Harry Browne and Permanent Portfolio fans on this forum.

I have a definite guess as to which type(s) is (are) most common on this forum, but I didn't want to skew the results by saying it at the outset.

What's your type?

Popular occupations for ISTJ's include being an accountant (me), police, military. It's the J (structure) part.

ESJT.  First took the Meyers-Briggs in the mid-1970s.  Was ESTJ.  Took again in the late 1990s - still an ESTJ.  I guess I'm incapable of change.  For what is worth, the majority of military officers in the late 1990s registered as ISTJ's.
