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 (http://vote.pollcode.com/12663355)
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:

I worked at place that used these. I was customer service, then sales, then ran a department. I tested before each different position and had three different results. During my last interview the CEO (looking at my file from the last 4 years) laughed and said ENTJ was good for the position but there is a problem. "You're either good at taking the test and hitting the right personality for the position you want or you have Multiple Personalty Disorder". I said "We'll take that as a compliment."

I don't think it's really accurate for people like me really..
Their questions are really direct, I sort of possess a little of each type of 'definition'.

INTJ. No need for test...I know it already.

They have a sliding scale so you don't have to sheer one way or the other, you can 'kind of' agree

Personally I don't believe it.... too many vague representations really :D

A personality is a pre-requisite for the test, so I'm exempt. :banana:

Eh, looked up their definitions for the words they shown at the end and came up with this.
I am perceiving in the fact that something can change, car breaks down and I need to pick someone up (or get picked up). I need an ingredient for food and have to rush to the store before it closes.
I am Judging in the fact that something can change in a moment and still organize it or quickly make or change my plans to this new event before me. I do like it to be somewhat orderly (don't let me desk tell you otherwise).
I am Extroversion in the fact that I am talkative, just not all the time, I have spontaneous moments where I can be the funny guy in the room.
I am Introversion in the fact that I like being by myself "me time", I've seen those who don't get their time to themselves and are stressed and overburdened because they haven't had a break from it all. I think we all possess this trait more or less. Observant yet not pulled back, interactive with others.
I am Sensing in the fact that I simply learn better hands on than reading a textbook about an action, I'd rather be performing that action!
I am Intuition in the fact that " I'm interested in new things and what might be possible (improved or changed), so that I think more about the future than the past. (" " part from Mysersbriggs.org).
I am Thinking in the fact that I like to analyze pros and cons, and be consistent, but will back off if either my choice won't work or simply doesn't apply.
I am Feeling in the fact that I also weigh other peoples opinions and see it from their perspective and weigh it from my thinking perspective to get a more well-rounded decision or conclusion.
I think this test is good for the bare surface, but not detailed enough for an in-depth analysis of the individual. The above is simply a surface analysis of myself, and this is without going into personal beliefs or real perspective.

ESTJ
ESTJs often find themselves in occupations that require thorough analysis, practical planning and organizational skills, process control and responsibility. ESTJs make good mid- and high-rank managers and executives. They succeed as military and police workers, politicians, engineers and entrepreneurs. They are found in technology companies among those who deal with practical aspects of technology (e.g. implementation specialists).
I guess a police chief's job was a good one for me, huh, LOL

Here is a link to another test and BBS thread i created. The link in my OP attempts to connect these personality types with various behavior we see in game.

Don't normally respond to these but (ISTJ).... guess that explains why i don't normally respond :D

INTP
The INTP personality type is fairly rare, making up only three percent of the population, which is definitely a good thing for them, as there’s nothing they’d be more unhappy about than being “common”. INTPs pride themselves on their inventiveness and creativity, their unique perspective and vigorous intellect. Usually known as the philosopher, the architect, or the dreamy professor, INTPs have been responsible for many scientific discoveries throughout history.
or "dreamy" photographer...
INTPs are known for their brilliant theories and unrelenting logic – in fact, they are considered the most logically precise of all the personality types. They love patterns, and spotting discrepancies between statements could almost be described as a hobby, making it a bad idea to lie to an INTP. Ironically, owing to their Prospecting (P) trait, INTPs’ word should be taken with a grain of salt – it’s not that they are dishonest, but INTPs tend to share thoughts that are not fully developed, using others as a sounding board for ideas and theories in a debate against themselves rather than as actual conversation partners.--
The one thing that really holds INTPs back their restless and pervasive fear of failure. INTPs are so prone to reassessing their own thoughts and theories, worrying that they’ve missed some critical piece of the puzzle, that they can stagnate, lost in an intangible world where their thoughts are never truly applied. Overcoming this self-doubt stands as the greatest challenge INTPs are likely to face, but the intellectual gifts – big and small – bestowed on the world when they do makes it worth the fight.

The Force is string with this one.
I think we should all just pick a random one.
-
I've noticed that the description of the INTP is basically just a description of intelligent people. "Values logic and rationality above all.. not swayed by authority or convention.. seeks truth.. values intelligence and competence.. type most likely to speak more than one language..expansive vocabulary.. Careers.. professor, scientist, doctor, engineer, technical writer.. Famous INTPs, Einstein, Jung, Darwin"
-
I've been more prone in the past to get ISTJ, or The Guardian-Inspector type. With this test I got the INTJ, or The Rational-Mastermind type. The sensing/intuiting part seems to fluctuate the most for me.

I have many of these traits...which makes sense as I only favor "J" over "P" by 5% if memory serves.
Oh...btw:

Enfp
ENFPs are both "idea"-people and "people"-people, who see everyone and everything as part of a cosmic whole. They want to both help and to be liked and admired by other people, on both an individual and a humanitarian level. This is rarely a problem for the ENFP, as they are outgoing and warm, and genuinely like people. Some ENFPs have a great deal of zany charm, which can ingratiate them to more stodgy types in spite of their unconventionality.
This fits me
ENFPs have what some call a "silly switch." They can be intellectual, serious, all business for a while, but whenever they get the chance, they flip that switch and become CAPTAIN WILDCHILD, the scourge of the swimming pool, ticklers par excellence. Sometimes they may even appear intoxicated when the "switch" is flipped.

That switch couldn't possibly be more accurate for me!

Notice that so far in the pole the largest group is the INTJ? What a surprise lol. The Whiner.
INTJs are simultaneously the most starry-eyed idealists and the bitterest of cynics, a seemingly impossible conflict. But this is because INTJ types tend to believe that with effort, intelligence and consideration, nothing is impossible, while at the same time they believe that people are too lazy, short-sighted or self-serving to actually achieve those fantastic results.

INTJ
Which is the largest segment in the poll but just 2% of the general population...interesting.
Is this why getting anything organized in the MA is like herding cats? I don't see INTJ's as necessarily being a bunch of followers.
Reminds me of the homeowners association in the neighborhood where my parents lived. Everybody was a retired vice president from somewhere. Each person in the room was absolutely convinced they were the smartest person in the room. They couldn't agree on anything. They were the most dis-functional bunch I have ever seen...they couldn't get anything done. All they could do was steadfastly agree to disagree.

Has the data from the poll been collated I'm wondering (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/rwrk2/1poke.gif)

INTP but it didn't make sense. I'm no intellectual and none of the careers mentioned would suit me at all even if much of the description fits me. But then I noticed that the commentary noted that there was little difference between my Thinking and Feeling score and that I could be INFP. That was a much closer fit as I tend towards the creative side rather than the intellectual and that fits better with my own experience.
So how exactly I ended up working as a skydive pilot is anyone's guess! Possibly I'm more of an ISTP?
Multiple personalities that's me!

Oddly, this actually fits my career. Maybe social sciences are not entirely BS like I thought. Given more data I may have to revise my evaluation of the field.
