Still INTJ
Some of the folks at Susan Walsh's appear to have discovered Meyers-Briggs for the first time. So, I took the test given at the site they've been using and the result wasn't exactly the biggest surprise.

However, this wasn't enough to prevent Ender from beating me at chess for the first time. His knight held the center, he first nabbed one of my rooks when I got a little careless in setting up an exchange of bishops, then managed to use his one-rook advantage to queen a pawn while holding off my desperate attempt to do the same. My rook was too occupied defending my own advancing pawn to make an attempt on his castled king, so three moves later, it was checkmate.

Seems like I used to score closer to 99% I, stronger on the T, and more J than the P. For business reasons I've had to deal with other human beings far more than I care to, so I wonder if that's made me a little more touchy feely??? I think I'm becoming downright sociable.

I perceive that I lack the discipline, concentration, and orderliness the description says I should have. Thinking about it further - which apparently I cannot do - it appears I may be all f*cked up.

Last time I took the test was for a discipleship class at the end of my high school years. Maturity has changed me from an ENFJ. Biggest shift was in my I/E score because I remember being a solid Extravert. I remember my T/F was EXTREMELY close then and now. Still VERY much a J, so some things never change.
OH Stingray, you're a rarity according to those well-versed in Myers-Briggs. ;-) My mother's also an ISTJ.
INFP. I'd be interested in a Game post that dealt with men cursed to be one of the "F"-ups.

I guess that makes me a moderate INTJ.
And congrats to Ender on the win.

Really? I thought it was INTJ that was so rare, however, there are a LOT here and over the manosphere. I assumed it was because that personality type was simply more drawn to this part of the web.
INTJ as always, Vox do you believe there is a correlation between intj and being a sigma or omega male? They both seem to be quite rare.

Stingray: "Really? I thought it was INTJ that was so rare, however, there are a LOT here and over the manosphere. I assumed it was because that personality type was simply more drawn to this part of the web."
Yep. It's all in the percentages. Extraverts compose 75% of the general population, etc.
ISTJs appear in about less than 1% of pop. INTJ may not be much higher? Anyone who scores 1-5 in any area could flip given their circumstances as it means that they are not solid in that category. I could take the test again in a week and be a INFJ.
Telling me you're an ISTJ reveals volumes. My mother's job for the longest time was a tax specialist for a the corporate office of a national restaurant chain. Her phone never rang obviously and it's not like people beat down a path to talk to the chick in the cubicle dealing with taxes. ;-) She learned social norms dealing with women the HARD way needless to say. Living in the south didn't help her predicament either.
Oh and back to the topic of chess...
Congrats to Ender! Kid's probably floating over the achievement.
ENTJ
Whatever that means.
Seems to me I was an ESTJ when I took this test 15 years ago.
ENFP. 100% E, but the others were in the high 30s or so.

You should take a poll for kicks.
ENTJ, with T and J only slightly expressed.
Pablo, maybe that's just common among ENTJs? We're supposed to be "fieldmarshals"... I think this test is meant to be given by HR folks to make people feel good about their non-abilities.

If you were in a tournament, you would have resigned at once, if there was no partially offsetting loss of material.
ENFJ all moderately so. Years ago my wife and I took Meyers Briggs and tested out as opposites. The opposites attract rule has kept us together for almost 25 years.
Vox...there are systems for evaluating material in chess. Here is one that is very specific.
Hans Berliner's system
World Correspondence Chess Champion Hans Berliner gives the following valuations, based on experience and computer experiments:
pawn = 1
knight = 3.2
bishop = 3.33
rook = 5.1
queen = 8.8
There are adjustments for the rank and file of a pawn and adjustments for the pieces depending on how open or closed the position is. Bishops, rooks, and queens gain up to 10 percent more value in open positions and lose up to 20 percent in closed positions. Knights gain up to 50 percent in closed positions and lose up to 30 percent in the corners and edges of the board. The value of a good bishop may be at least 10 percent higher than that of a bad bishop (Berliner 1999:14–18)
This is how computer chess makes move choices.

According to these results, there's no practical sense of my thinking much about the results.
Curlytop,
I don't know. The website linked to on Susan's blog had ISTJ as 17% of the population. Though, if you've studied the Meyers-Briggs I'll take your word for it. Does this mean I get to be a special snowflake? Whoo hoo!! ; )
INTJ, baby!
Seems like a lot of us are INTJ, which makes sense, provided the sorts of things we discuss every day on this blog.
INTJ also. (Didn't take the test. I've done it a few times before. )
I am beginning to think the meyers briggs sorter is b.s.. Can we really be that cliqueish?

Pretty much comports with the other MBTI tests I have taken, and my own life experiences. There's actually a separate INTP forum somewhere out there in the internet, though the perceiving part of my personality means that I CBF going to it.

My father lost his enthusiasm for the game when I reached the point that I could beat him on a regular basis. I pray that you don't do the same. I haven't played chess in the decades since Dad gave up...

Now leave me the hell alone ;-)
There is always one question on the test I can answer both ways. Its the difference between INFJ and INTJ. Takes forever thinking about it. Takes forever doing it. Takes forever to try again if it doesn't work the first time. If I am crazy, it is my own doing.

Interesting as i used to score a pretty solid INFP back in my younger days. I can definitely tell I've moved away from the F side of the equation and the P has dropped off as well.
Had to take that several times over the years, for one silly reason or another. I've been INTP, INTJ, ISTP, and one day in a good mood I was ESTP. The variability suggested either the test or I was screwed up in some way.
Interestingly, my score had no bearing on anything that came afterward -- just another check mark in some butt-covering bureaucrat's box.

Why are there so many INTJ's here?
Maybe Vox should do one of these anonymous surveys on Alpha Game that combines the previous sets of questions with the Meyers-Briggs Type. THAT would be interesting.
Imo, that linked test is not one of the better MBTI tests
Still ESFJ, still married to INTJ. Though his "I" has fluctuated. He's fantastic in crowds but needs a reprieve, whereas social situations take nothing out of me.

Awww come on. Don't you want to go to a large social gathering, where you don't know anybody, making small talk and sharing your responses? After that, we can go shopping, and then join a group of women and talk about relationships.
67-50-50-56, ISTJ. I still love a test.
For those Ilk, like me, who are curious as to the distributions of types across the US Population ...

Its not just here. It seems like everywhere I go INTJs are vastly over represented.
I won't even bother, because it will be INTJ as always.
INTJ. Again.
I've taken these tests periodically through my life: usually it comes up INFP, although a couple times I scored ISFP. I'm borderline on the intutitve/sensing polarity. Dan
Here is the MBTI type distribution, further broken down by sex.
- an INTJ (sometimes ENTJ) woman.
Im pretty much a lurker on the blog but have been so for years. I dont agree with much of vd's ideology but i always appreciate and value his take on things.
Im an intj. Did the mb years ago in college and about 8 years ago for work.
I dont think its a fluke that there are so "many" intjs here, but from what ive read, intj make up like 1-5% of the population.
INFP, though I only scored 11 on the P part.
I'm fairly certain that my (annoying!) compassion has taken far too large of a hold on me of late.
And I'd go with INTJ on this test:

Everywhere *you* go, yes I can see that. I wouldn't necessarily be attracted to a nest of ESFP's (for example) either.
There is another related aspect to that. It seems to me that introverts and intuitives as a group may be inclined to spend more time interacting on the internet than extroverts and the sensing type. That narrows the pool considerably from the general population.
INTJ.
So many come here because Vox's views are well thought out and he can and does defend them. I don't agree with him on everything, but I know that for most things he has a rational reason for his views.
That is a rarity. Someone who is more sensing or emotional will be very offened and hurt by the personalities here.
Glad to see Ender is comeing along. Keep playing with him. My uncle taught me chess, but gave up after I started winning.
Nice surprise getting linked at VP, thanks!
Hmmm, I wonder if there's any correlation between MBTI and the VD sociosexual hierarchy? Must be.
