Interesting discussion started at the unicyclist forums about the type of personality that defines unicyclists. I ended up doing the Jung/Briggs-Myers test twice at different sites here and here
Both say I’m an INTP which seems to be quite common with the folk on the discussion thread. If memory doesn’t fail I think that’s consistent with the last few times I chanced on the tests.
I think there’s quite a bit of truth to this bit of analysis about INTPs (Architects) -
Once caught up in a thought process, Architects close off and persevere until they comprehend the issue in all its complexity. Architects prize intelligence, and with their grand desire to grasp the structure of the universe, they can seem arrogant and may show impatience with others who have less ability, or who are less driven.
So if you’ve ever caught me staring into space (which I do a lot) or freezing mid-sentence, that’s really part of the thought process so don’t panick – I’m still alive and well.
It also explains why I hate stupid people.
yes
the internet brings our the INTP
who in the real world might be too shy or
have concluded the other is too stupid
to bother with if they can be avoided.
of course it is more complex than that…
i test as an INTP VERY HEAVY ON N and P
