I'm an ENTJ

I've always found these (especially Jung) to be scarily accurate in predicting what I am like.

enfp.. usually either entp or enfp :P

ENFP, too.

I get a different result each time I take one of these...but it's always INTP or ENFP, so I must be one of those.

ENTP. have started 2 companies (so far). But...I am only slightly E. It says 'moderately'.

My T swings wildly between Very T and barely T.

INTJ. The INT is strong and consistent, but I occasionally come out as an INTP.

jsmcgd• 19 years ago

INTP

Edit: One of my other entrepreneurial minded friends is an ENTJ.

No matter how many times I take this test I always end up ENTJ, there's something to be said for consistency I guess.

My employer uses a similar style test called "Personalysis" (http://www.personalysis.com/), where they send all new hires to an 8 hour seminar for employees to "learn" how to better interact with co-workers based on personality traits.

The funny part is that it cost my organization more than 3k to send me to this seminar and I personally think the free online humanmetrics (ENTJ) by far more accurate. I guess it goes to show that you can convince giant corporations to buy anything if you pitch it to them correctly.

One thing to keep in mind is that most people here are most likely related to software engineering. It may be that other industries would show different personalities when you rate their entrepreneurs.
