Gosh! "personality tests" are even dumber than i.q. tests.

I wanna' be categorized and counted please!  I'm just a number.

Apparently you're the rarest type.  Neat.

At least the questions are easier... would I rather have ham or turkey, now that's something I don't mind choosing between!  Actually maybe that's my stomach talking... I'm pretty hungry right now.

Thanks for those who have answered so far. I'm not surprised that most are T's and many NT's. Will be interesting to see the trend as (hopefully) more results come in. :)

INTJ  -- both I and J are mid-range, both N and T are "off the charts" extreme.

Highest OTB -- USCF 1863, after 9 months of competition.

I prefer endgames, and winning via pawn promotion, not middlegame checkmates. 

Too many other questions, with (essentially) no connection to Myers-Briggs.  Sorry to break the news to you.

I hope someone publishes now here the meaning of the letters I N T P F J S and so on, I said I am an INTP without exactly knowing what it means ( I based it on incomplete info on the internet )

What if I have multiple personalities? Can I ask one of the others for the correct answers?

Here is a link to help you understand what the letters mean. http://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/mbti-basics/ :)

Thank you, KingsEye, for that link on these letters, I just found out that I am an ENTP instead of INTP, what a difference !     Moreover I checked my wife (ESFJ) and two sons, INTJ and ENTP, without asking them, and yes, although very subjective from my side, it seems okay !

INFP, whatever that means
