Good, quick personality test, version of the Myers-Briggs

Not surprising - Idealist, Counselor (which I really am... both a counselor and an INFJ)

proven to be the best and most accurate personality identifier based on temperament with implications about character.

From the page: "And in understanding me you might come to prize my differences from you, and, far from seeking to change me, preserve and even nurture those differences."

For reasons not entirely scientific, I like the Kiersey/Myers-Brigg tests better than the Five-Factor Model (the current academic leader). I think the Big Five is somewhat heavy-handed and perhaps better suited to clinical work, pre-employment tests, etc. to screen out sociopaths. Kiersey is better suited to personal development and interpersonal relationships.You can take the Kiersey Temperament Sorter - II test online free. Learn more about David Keirsey's books Please Understand Me and Please Understand Me II (you can also take the tests and understand the results from these books). These books may be avail. at larger libraries. http://users.viawest.net/~keirsey/difference.html helps explain the differences between Keirsey Temperament versus Myers-Briggs Types and what those 4 letter codes (INFJ, etc.) are that you see at groups such as http://infj.group.stumbleupon.com/.

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. --Henry David Thoreau ...........fairenough

This is a free online test analyzing your personality and which category you fall into. It's more or less the same as the Jung-Myers-Briggs psychology test. You'll need time to do this, though.

Wanna know more about you? Click here! Wanna know more about me? Keep reading! INTJ's tend to be much more self-confident than the rest (of the Rationals), having, for obscure reasons, developed a very strong will. They are rather rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population. Being very judicious, decisions come naturally to them; indeed, they can hardly rest until they have things settled, decided, and set. They are the people who are able to formulate coherent and comprehensive contingency plans. . . Masterminds will adopt ideas only if they are useful, which is to say if they work efficiently toward accomplishing the Mastermind's well-defined goals. Natural leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command of projects or groups, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once in charge, however, Masterminds are the supreme pragmatists, seeing reality as a crucible for refining their strategies for goal-directed action. In a sense, Masterminds approach reality as they would a giant chess board, always seeking strategies that have a high payoff, and always devising contingency plans in case of error or adversity. To the Mastermind, organizational structure and operational procedures are never arbitrary, never set in concrete, but are quite malleable and can be changed, improved, streamlined. In their drive for efficient action, Masterminds are the most open-minded of all the types. Note to self: who knew I was so EVIL????

From the page: "If I do not want what you want, please try not to tell me that my want is wrong. Or if I believe other than you, at least pause before you correct my view. Or if my emotion is less than yours, or more, given the same circumstances, try not to ask me to feel more strongly or weakly. Or yet if I act, or fail to act, in the manner of your design for action, let me be. I do not, for the moment at least, ask you to understand me. That will come only when you are willing to give up changing me into a copy of you. I may be your spouse, your parent, your offsping, your friend, or your colleague. If you will allow me any of my own wants, or emotions, or beliefs, or actions, then you open yourself, so that some day these ways of mine might not seem so wrong, and might finally appear to you as right -- for me. To put up with me is the first step to understanding me. Not that you embrace my ways as right for you, but that you are no longer irritated or disappointed with me for my seeming waywardness. And in understanding me you might come to prize my differences from you, and, far from seeking to change me, preserve and even nurture those differences. "
