Thanks for pointing out that thread and its associated poll. I just voted. INTJ's rule on this board.

Here's another thread on personality type: http://www.early-retirement.org/foru...ype-44723.html


PS. I wonder if INTJ would be the shy type that tends not to post photos of self.

I took two tests. My type was INTJ on one (scoring 78, 25, 50, 56) and ISTJ on the other.

That makes sense. We are a very analytical bunch and we build portfolios.

... although if our individual portfolios are like houses, their styles may look differently from each other like these.

I see the charms in each too. One is down-to-earth, low key, and in a sea of calm,. The other, provocative, modern, and exciting.

Oh, how to decide, how to choose.

I know I am an anomoaly here, but I am an ENFP. Then again, I'm not very die-hard on this website because I'm too busy being social.

INTJ here also. INTJs seem overrepresented here, seeing they're about 1% of the population.

I get that ISTJ sometimes instead of INTJ. I'd make a pretty good Scrooge!

NW-bound, do you know where the turf-roofed houses in the top photo are? Are they new or old?

ISTJ - and it is not even close in any category.

I remember one exercise we did where they split the "N"s and the "S"s into groups. Both groups were given a plastic bag full of crap, including an empty 2 liter bottle, pipe cleaners, balloons, etc and told to make a toy.

We (the "S"s) sat there staring at the pile of crap for a while and then finally threw it all back in the bag. Our toy was a "do-it-yourself" kit. Then the "N"s came out with this really cool doll thing they had built using the bottle as a base.

I really want to be an INTJ.......

I can't believe I did all that work to set up that poll. I think that I was into polls for a while back then.

No, it is simply among pictures of unusual self-built houses on this web site that I stumbled across.

That pic was on Bing a while ago. Norway, perhaps. And I think they are old. Caveate-My memory could be wrong.

Egad, that was a bunch of work. But since it was back in 2005, I think that newer posters should vote on that one and bring it back to the front of the line! Kyoung--go for it!
