ENTP and INTJ would be best at chess in my opinion because both have inuitive functions at the top of their functional stacks, hence seeing the bigger picture better than other types, whilst also having a thinking function second on their functional stacks, giving them a rational mindest to each problem. ENTJ and INTP as well as ENFP and INFJ would also be quite good, but not as much as the first two, I would imagine. I am an INTP and MBTI types are more than a mixture of just 4 dichotomies. You must look at the functions to truly understand MBTI.

Well said krazy21. As an INTJ, and having been a programmer/analyst now cataloging librarian, you describe the levels of functions well.
Chess obsessive and INTJ.

Depending on the test, I'm either an ENFJ or INFJ. I'm not an outgoing person, but I get energized after being around a lot of people.
I don't believe there's any logic in classifying all personalities into sixteen types. Doesn't make sense to me. I don't think everyone is necessarily either clearly introverted or clearly extroverted, or some of these other things.

I'm a Myers-Briggs guy - I regularly shop at Myer and I frequently use trains like Biggs did.

I'm inclined to think there is rather too much logic in it!
The best of the world was probably ENTJ

Haha, of course you're all INTPs. I play chess in a club and every person there is either an ENTP or INTP. Occasionally you'll get the odd ENFJ or INFJ (like me) in there because we fancy the Ti aspect of chess, but, I can never beat the XNTPs.

The theory doesn't claim any person is 100% introvert or extrovert. The 16 types are a lot like musical key signatures; just because there are 15 major keys doesn't mean there are only 15 different songs in major, there are unlimited possibilities for how a song in, let's say in C major, will sound. The song is influenced by all sorts of things, like the time it was written, the culture, the genre etc. Similarly, people are influenced by the times in which they were born, their culture, their class etc. With that said, songs in C major are usually built on a predictable structure. Personality type works in the same way, its simply the recognition that our personalities are built on these fundamental structures, these 16 different types of brain wiring.
