I’m a INTP too. How interesting there are quite a few of us. I’m applying to an MBA program…

ENFJ (as scored by an extensive test during management training a few years back).

I did the test some months ago and I was a ENTP and I just did it again and I’m ENFP. Anyway, there’s consistency with the E,N and P which is no big surprise to me and I’m sure no surprise to those who know me.

Matt – it’s not as odd as it might appear. Many of the characteristics of blogging lend themselves to INTP traits. Energy from within, preference for writing over talking, thinking before ’speaking, thrive on ideas and innovations, possibilities and visions – and quite a few others too.

Could be a job description for a blogger!

But I agree it’s even more over-indexed than one might think on the current evidence of a very small sample.

I’m INTP too, which seems odd given that we are the rarest of the MB types, but looks like so far we’re over represented in the mobile blogging community iof the above posts are anything to go by…

INTP too, with focus on I and T, and like Andrew I took the test 2000 during my MBA, but I guess this doesn’t change very much.

The potential pitfalls listed for INTPers are not too flattering. I’m not altogether like that. I swear .

Very interesting. I did my first Myers Briggs test back in 2000 as part of my MBA. After 8 years in the mobile industry, I am still an ENTJ.

Not THE Stephen Waddington, surely?

Me too ENFJ – like Mikhail Gorbachev, Oprah Winfrey, Pope John Paul II and Stephen Waddington.

I’m ENFJ – direct energy towards the outer world of actions and spoken words. Try to build harmony in important personal relationships. Their lives are organised on a personal basis, seeking to develop and promote personal growth in people they value. Pretty much spot on.
