MBTI Personality Test and Aces High Pilots
« on: August 28, 2014, 11:47:13 AM »
Some of you may or may not know about the Myers-Briggs personality test, which is based on personality research/theory work done by Carl Jung. It's interesting in that it's considered reasonably accurate in most circles, but moreso because it classifies personalities by the way their preferred to way to gather and reference information, as well as they way they interact with others.

The interesting thing about the games and other interest outlets, such as Aces High, is that the community and culture of tend to attract like-minded individuals. There's always exceptions, but with a niche genre such as WWII air combat, I suspect that will be the case. Taking a personality test that has distinct personality profiles, such as the MBTI, usually yields interesting results.

So, for sake of fun and discussion, please see the following test here: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp

There's no score, no right or wrong answers - just take the test and get your personality type.

Once you have it, complete the poll here: AH Personality Types Poll

I have a theory as to what the results will show. Either way, this should be fun. Feel free to post your type back here on the forum as well.

Interesting topic and may possibly explain why everyone is always at each other's throats in this game.

This test is used quite often to test for executive potential within a company....the interesting part, is that a company executive filled with all ENTJ's is not the desired outcome.......having all like personalities will not give the best or most desirable performance within the board room.....a good mix tends to provide the best leadership, dynamic and innovation potential...... :old:
