So, what is your Personality Type?

[BillinMo]

Whoops! I just fixed it.

So whose idea was it to have the birthday as Day-Month-Year in the profiles?? It confuses slow-witted people like me.

 

[RedGinger]

Probably Roger. As Charlie said, they do it the reverse way across the pond.

The day and month is what I meant.[]

Thanks again to all who have participated!

So far we have 17 I's and 1 E:
5 ISTJ (10-14% of the population)
3 ISFJ (9-14%)
3 INTP (1-5%)
2 INFJ (1-3%)
2 INTJ (1-4% My dad is one too and he collects bottles but is not currently included)
1 INFP (1-5%)
1 ISFP (5-10%)
and...
1 ENTJ (2-5%)

I knew someone here had to be an E []! So Steve, I can't really help with your slew of phobias but it may be an aspect of your less developed extraverted sensing and introverted feeling, helped along by your resolute judgmentality. It is indeed all in your head, but since every aspect of our conscious and subconscious earthly existence resides in our heads as well, I'd imagine it can be hard to control sometimes. I've got agoraphobia, if that makes you feel any better (always gotta have exit strategies planned and I really don't like crowds).

With your extreme interest in studying old glass, rooting out errors in fact, and what seems like almost a self-imposed duty to share your well-organized discoveries with other collectors, you fit the profile rather well:

They live in a world of possibilities where they see all sorts challenges to be surmounted, and they want to be the ones responsible for surmounting them. They have a drive for leadership, which is well-served by their quickness to grasp complexities, their ability to absorb a large amount of impersonal information, and their quick and decisive judgments.

They are constantly scanning their environment for potential problems which they can turn into solutions. They generally see things from a long-range perspective, and are usually successful at identifying plans to turn problems around

There is not much room for error in the world of the ENTJ. They dislike to see mistakes repeated, and have no patience with inefficiency.

Also, your love of discussion, which can then turn into arguments (and then unfortunate temporary banning) seems to be a hallmark of your type. I seem to recall both of us arguing about the pros/cons of Monsanto and various environmental issues a while back, lol [].

[quote]they are not naturally tuned in to people's feelings, and more than likely don't believe that they should tailor their judgments in consideration for people's feelings[/quote]



Ideally I'd like around 40 results before starting a more in-depth ana-lysis of this data, but the trend seems pretty clear. Somewhere it states that Extraverted types are generally interested in "breadth" and Introverted types in "depth" so collecting generally useless old stuff (collections not influenced by sports, pop culture, fads, music, etc., anyway) seems to be almost entirely the domain of the Is.

This info could be of use when setting up at shows/markets and during interaction with potential customers, so it isn't just curiosity for the sake of curiosity because the results can be used in some practical applications.

[baltbottles]

Well sorry to burst your bubble Steve but I am also an ENTJ according to the posted test. It must be something about people that like colonial glass lol

Wow, that's quite an autobiography, Steve. The only thing I would change is mentioning your wife's age. She may not have a problem with that, though. Sure, I'd love one of those Italian subs, but I think it might be a little soggy by the time it got here. I don't like the Olive Garden, period. I'm with ya on that one. What's with the wheels on the chairs?? I should have just wheeled myself on out of there last time. As for the coffee, Joe makes the worst coffee ever, so when Fred stops by, I give him some of mine. That's okay, because Joe admits it and to each his own. Have you tried the new Folgers (or is it Maxwell House, I forget?), South Pacific Blend? I love it! Well, that's all I can think of now.

 

[JOETHECROW]

Strong coffee is not always BAD coffee.[]

 

[SAbottles]

Wow, Steve; I loved it !!!! What a pity Monty Python aren't still going, they would sign you up in a flash !! Our problem here is that a large part of our population worship anything "American" and do their best to copy much of what you have just blasted to the skies!!
