Myers-Briggs Personality Type

[Bigfish]

I for one enjoy unmoderated Skugg's posts - if you don't your can ignore them instead of moderating - I think we've been getting moderation heavy lately... And it's seemingly always the same 1 or 2 moderators which I find heavy handed... Kill spammers and account sellers; etc... all you want but let off topic breath a bit ?

Not that I have an opinion one way or the other about skuggo's post (I don't know what was in it) but I'm generally more on the side of the mods here. The argument that "you can just ignore it" doesn't really hold water, if only because such things CAN'T realistically be ignored. Its not like someone shouting obscenities on a street corner, where the prudent decision is to ignore them, move on, and never see them again. This is more akin to someone shouting obscenities in your house, where if you don't condemn it, you condone it, and the behavior has free reign to continue until someone does something about it.

Well, if you keep argueing about it, the topic will get locked. But not because of Skuggo's post.

INTJ =D And the career indicator was correct, I'm a software engineer (computer programmer). Also, I enjoyed the INTJ 'Mastermind' post on the first page LoL!

What is interesting if you peek at the survey results is that the of the top 4 results of the survey, 3 of them (INTJ, INTP, INFJ) make up less than 7% of the of the average US population's personality (Source), but make up 61% of the survey-takers' personalities. I guess that means we are rarity among everyone, but commonplace among multi-boxers! Neat! =D

Of course.
INTJ, programmer.. 100% introvert WTF...


WTB a will to socialize..

Looks like I'm the only ISFP so far....

ISFP roll call!!

We care too much

INTJ and read that we are less then 1% of the population.


Then plugged in my results and saw the survey results.

31% INTJ (17)
That is a very interesting statistic.

I wouldn't mind seeing this up in General to get more of a sample size.

I can't recall whether I was INTJ or INFJ, but I submitted INTJ. I recall that I was pretty solid on Introvert(I) and Intuition(N), but the other two were rather moderate, so I'm kinda between these two types anyways. I'll have to dig out my results later to be sure.

The emphasis on the introvert really shouldn't surprise people here regarding multiboxing, because the definition suggests we draw our energy by spending time by ourselves, whereas extroverts draw their energy from interaction with others. I can tell you that I definitely feel more drained even just spending time around a group of extroverts, even if I'm not actively involved. I like my quiet time.

Edit: Based on earlier comments, just wanted to add that I'm a software engineer, primarily web-based (ColdFusion, .NET).

hmmm.... at this point, 50 of 58 are introverted.

86%

ok, so maybe we aren't the most social group

44 of 58, or 76%, are more intuitive.. trusting abstract or theoretical information related to other known information
(you have a highly developed cognitive net that you trust)

46 of 58, or 79%, are more logical then emotional

35 of 58, or 60%, are more judgment oriented over perception... but since so many are Introverts, it's an auxiliary function... and since it's close to an even split.. easy enough to disregard

it's kind of funny that there is a personality profile fairly common to multi-boxing. that being:

INTP or INTJ. what's also funny is the occurrence for these personality types. here, it's about 75-80% of the members (assuming a proper random sample). but in general, INTP accounts for 3.3% and INTJ for 2.1% of the population.

that' a fairly substantial difference.

We play a massively multi-player game by ourselves. lol

What can I say, reading the WoW forums and listening to Trade chat has a way of making you want to distance yourself as much as possible from other people in the game.

It's for our own safety.
