Hello; First Post
I came up INTJ, could be right, I have an ME degree, worked in hydraulic research for John Deere 67 to 74. Got fed up with the politics and some of the people I had to work with, and bought a dairy farm in Wis.  In 81 bought a Machine shop got a Frick sawmill with it. Never did very much sawing with it and sold it to the Amish. Sold the shop in 89 and since have worked as a machinest for a local manufacturer.

My youngest son is now on the farm (beef and crops/no Dairy), I take care of the woods (40 acres hardwoods and 50 acres plantation pine planted 89). I bought an old woodmizer 93 I think, a couple years ago, 24 HP Onan w/hyds. do some custom sawing and saw out what comes out of my woods.

Jb,

Glad to have you on-board even if you are an introvert ;D.  Just kidding.  Introverts are not as aggravating and intense as us extroverts :).

Has anyone checked for their "compatible" personality and had their spouse take the test?  It lined up perfectly for us. 8)

Something that might be interesting is to have your spouse take the test as they see you. ???
I do what the little voices in my wife's head tell me to do.

No point in creating marital dis-harmony ;D.

I HOID DAT!! My second ex-wife was "into" all those psychobabble tests in the Women's magazines.  Every time she found one and filled it out, she'd be pithed off for a week!  You know the ones I mean.  If your husband is a neatnick, he's runnin' around on ya.  If he's a slob, he's runnin' around on ya.  If he's in between, well, he's runnin' around on ya.  If he plays hooky from work sometimes, he must have a girlfriend somewhere.  If he never plays hooky from work, well that means he has a girlfriend at work.

If ya didn't pick up on it, I don't care much for these kind of tests. :D :D :D :D

The FF seems to have lots of INTJĀ“s and I am another on, but I looked up the description of some of the other types, at least some of the general characteristics applied to me , too.

You may as well chaulk up another INTJ as I am one as well.Read on there on the site and saw something about a mastermind,and I can honestly say I'm not one of those because I'm a mechanic who works in the bush!

Actually, this test pegged me pretty well and described the career I pursued for over 35 years... sometimes even a blind pig in the forest finds an acorn.

I would guess that there are a few intj's who haven't shown up at the pig roast. Now we all know why.

Jeez, how much more accurate could that be as applied to the Forestry Forum.  They gave me a rather weird range of famous people with similar types.

I got an ISTP and that's 82% introverted so I guess I don't want to talk about it - and neither does Charles Bronson  :-X

Istj...... for what it is worth

Test are like surveys..... ask the right questions to get the answer you want.

I once had a english teacher that asked a question on a test that went something like this,

"read the following story an write what you think it means"

So I did and she marked my answer as wrong! I told her that she wasn't much of an english teacher if she can ask me what I think something means to me and the not give me credit for the answer, I told her the next time she better ask what I think she thinks it means.  :D

I still did't pass the test.
