eucleiaSo, I just completed Jung's personality test again for the second time in my life:
I see nothing's changed...
Free Jung Personality Test (similar to Myers-Briggs/MBTI)
And from the Keirsey Rational™ Portrait of the Mastermind (INTJ):
All Rationals are good at planning operations, but Masterminds are head and shoulders above all the rest in contingency planning. Complex operations involve many steps or stages, one following another in a necessary progression, and Masterminds are naturally able to grasp how each one leads to the next, and to prepare alternatives for difficulties that are likely to arise any step of the way. Trying to anticipate every contingency, Masterminds never set off on their current project without a Plan A firmly in mind, but they are always prepared to switch to Plan B or C or D if need be.
Masterminds are rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population, and they are rarely encountered outside their office, factory, school, or laboratory. Although they are highly capable leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once they take charge, however, they are thoroughgoing pragmatists. Masterminds are certain that efficiency is indispensable in a well-run organization, and if they encounter inefficiency-any waste of human and material resources-they are quick to realign operations and reassign personnel. Masterminds do not feel bound by established rules and procedures, and traditional authority does not impress them, nor do slogans or catchwords. Only ideas that make sense to them are adopted; those that don't, aren't, no matter who thought of them. Remember, their aim is always maximum efficiency.
In their careers, Masterminds usually rise to positions of responsibility, for they work long and hard and are dedicated in their pursuit of goals, sparing neither their own time and effort nor that of their colleagues and employees. Problem-solving is highly stimulating to Masterminds, who love responding to tangled systems that require careful sorting out. Ordinarily, they verbalize the positive and avoid comments of a negative nature; they are more interested in moving an organization forward than dwelling on mistakes of the past.
Masterminds tend to be much more definite and self-confident than other Rationals, having usually developed a very strong will. Decisions come easily to them; in fact, they can hardly rest until they have things settled and decided. But before they decide anything, they must do the research. Masterminds are highly theoretical, but they insist on looking at all available data before they embrace an idea, and they are suspicious of any statement that is based on shoddy research, or that is not checked against reality.
That is so true it's almost embarrassing.

INTJ - "Mastermind". Introverted intellectual with a preference for finding certainty. A builder of systems and the applier of theoretical models. 2.1% of total population. |

Awesome.

Date: 2007-08-03 09:46 am (UTC)8D HOMG I've been waiting to meet a fellow INTJ! XDDD
This calls for massive discussion. X3
We are the rarest baby! *does little dance*
I actually have a very strong suspicion that Tetsu is one too. I've heard a lot of complaining about him on Japanese boards (what little I can read) about him being bossy, cold to friends, shallow and materialistic from his 'Tetsugaku' interviews, but I always thought it was more or less just common sense.
I can only imagine the number of people that think that about ME now. Shoot.
"Trying to anticipate every contingency," (oh yeah) "Masterminds never set off on their current project without a Plan A firmly in mind, but they are always prepared to switch to Plan B or C or D if need be."
I don't know what amount of wangst that has cost me. I stress over the smallest details (I've been known to drive myself to tears over things that seemed ridiculously unimportant in hindsight).
"Although they are highly capable leaders," (Tetsu anyone?) "Masterminds are not at all eager to take command, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead."
That sentence in particular is so true it made me laugh quite literally. I guess I find it amusing in the sadistic sort of way.
"Masterminds do not feel bound by established rules and procedures, and traditional authority does not impress them, nor do slogans or catchwords."
This one is particularly true as well. (e.g. my primary school principal VS me)
"In their careers, Masterminds usually rise to positions of responsibility, for they work long and hard and are dedicated in their pursuit of goals, sparing neither their own time and effort nor that of their colleagues and employees."
Tetsu again. ^^;
"Masterminds are highly theoretical, but they insist on looking at all available data before they embrace an idea, and they are suspicious of any statement that is based on shoddy research, or that is not checked against reality."
Me again. =^^=
So what about you, Rana-dear? ^__^ (P.S. Do you like Death Note?")

Date: 2007-08-04 12:32 pm (UTC)Which is, really, not true. But I give off that impression, I'm told.
1.) Details drive me insane, too. Yep.
2.) HAHA, that's me on the leadership thing, too. EXACTLY.
3.) I sekritly rebel against authority, but I tend to show false respect for most of it . . . until it pisses me off.
4.) "Masterminds are highly theoretical, but they insist on looking at all available data before they embrace an idea, and they are suspicious of any statement that is based on shoddy research, or that is not checked against reality." OMG THAT'S ME.
Well, the only part of Death Note I'm familiar with is the first movie, which I really didn't like all that much. I've been told the sequel is better?

Date: 2007-08-06 09:10 am (UTC)Ditto on the outwards impression. I'll have to be realistic here and admit I am rather materialistic, but there is a good reason for it. While I tend to agree that hogging all your money and being too much of a miser is never too good for you, I think that anyone who really believes that money doesn't make the world go round (figuratively), is rather naive. While it's not exactly pretty to notice, money is a deciding factor for a majority of the decisions made today.
And anyone that says "All you need is love" is going to get nothing but teh eye-roll and face-punch from me. You tell me if love can put food on your table and clothes on your back (apart from donations) and I'll consider it, but until then, I stand by what I said.
Er... sorry for the rant. I just went off on a not-so-tangent there.
Hmm... the DN sequel is better if only because L features a more prominent role this time around... But I stand firm by my (researched and tested! XD) belief and say that the manga blows the movies out of the water. Being the introverted mastermind that I am, I always try and figure out the plot twists before the characters. I've only mildly suceeded.
One more thing Rana: This seems a bit silly but, do you happen to know how Rinoa's doing? She agreed with me earlier this year that uni work is a killer but it's half-way through summer and I haven't heard from her since. Admittedly I don't know her in "real-life", but I'm just slightly worried. It could be meaningless, I mean she she could be on holiday >_>
My mother doesn't see why I should be concerned about the well-being of people half-way across the globe whom I've never met before but... she fails to realise that these are real people who somehow seem more substantial to me than those I've known for 15 years.

*le sigh*
P.S.: Guess what I've got~~! *sing-song voice* ^.^ Strawberry Pocky! =D
I sit here eating it now as I type. *crunch crunch* Oh yeah, that's the stuff. XD
I also forgot to ask you whether or not your own parents think it's stupid to care about people you've not met? Or is it just my mom? *glares at mom*
no subject
Date: 2007-08-08 10:12 pm (UTC)Ah, my parents aren't like that. I've traveled out to meet internet friends, so they consider them as friends still. And by Rinoa in your previous comment, do you mean

Date: 2007-08-09 09:19 am (UTC)I got a rib brace now, isn't that cool? XD (so sad that it isn't the smex like Haido-kun's, ergo leather ;___;)
And yes, I meant
That is one COOL icon *__*
