Myers and Briggs think I need to get more

http://katrinya.livejournal.com/366651.html

I think the Myers-Briggs personality test contains an awful lot of bullshit questions ("Would you rather be hard-headed or soft-hearted?" Come on.) That said, though, I can't say I've really ever disagreed with the outcome it gave me. The first time I took the Myers-Briggs test I was around 10 or 11, and I thought it was somewhat interesting how the results have changed over time.

At 10 or 11 I was INFP. By my early teens I was INTP, which turned into INTJ by the time I was in college. When I took it today the results came back ISTJ, which I guess is a consequence of studying science full time. It's funny... as a kid I spent a lot of time thinking about philosophy and the nature of truth or whatever and I considered rational people to be a type of robot. I was very proud of being a "dreamer". Now I'm proud of my ability to distinguish between the practical and the fanciful. People can change a hell of a lot over 12 years... particularly when those 12 years span puberty.
