I was reflecting on this as well. According to the site INTJ is the rarest of the personality traits. I would say early retirement is rare as well. A possible connection? All of that innate over analysis spilling over into our financial planning maybe?

I suspect you're correct about that. INTJs are about 2% and ISTJs are I think about 4% so that does make them outliers.
And then on the board we express amazement at some of the weird things people do with money, not realizing that they're normal and we're weird.

I recall doing this in the past and coming out as a INTJ or something close to that...but this time I got INFP..
You are one of the Diplomats - an empathic and idealistic individual who enjoys exploring interesting ideas and prizes morality. You are known for your poetic nature, intuitive skills and pure, childlike enthusiasm. Above you will find a brief overview of your personality traits - proceed to the type overview to learn much more about your personality type. Prepare to be impressed.
Trust me no one around work would consider me to be a diplomat...or very poetic..
I have been told that "You're not trying to be difficult, it comes natually"

DW had 'outsourced' that task some time ago (with my consent), and while that might not be very LBYM'ish it is one of her few indulgences so I tend to overlook it in order to maintain a harmonious relationship.

You too?
I didn't follow the link to the test, because I have had Myers-Briggs testing done multiple times and I am always INTJ.

I scored ISTJ on this test. Last time I took a similar test, I got INTJ. On both tests, S and N were weak so I am kind of in between the two profiles, I guess. DW keeps testing INTJ.

I've never actually taken a test like this before. Surprise (not), another INTJ. I would have thought there would be more of a mix than there is as some are here due to selling a business, pensions or inheritances and not just diligent saver, engineer types.

I just got my strongest INTJ result ever from this test. Apparently I am assertive too. The assertive vs turbulent thing is new to me.

Personality Types
Www.intjforum.com
But there are a lot of snobs there who think, just because they took a stupid internet test which says they're INTJ, they're misunderstood geniuses who are superior to the lesser mortals.
Ummm - yes; I took the original Briggs-Myers Personality test. INTJ. But the internet versions really aren't valid. Needs a trained administrator to read and interpret the tests.

Well, not always engineers or math majors. I'm certainly not, retired law enforcement and the first time around I flunked algebra I in high school. (Cracking a book might have helped.) But what I see consistently on the board is either no debt or low debt in relation to one's resources.

I tested assertive, too, but of course I knew that from my last regular job and life in general.
