Part of being me means I question everything. So why not question my Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) result even though it has been the same since the 1990s when I first did the test? Overthinking is great (more good stuff about this subject on the Pointless Overthinking blog).
I did the Personality Hacker free test (you have to give them your email). It follows the Myers-Briggs types closely but gives them new names. It isn’t as lengthy or thorough as MBTI, but its free so no complaints here.
I’m a Perspectives/Effectiveness Personality (INTJ)
Famous INTJs the brief report lists (Do I care about this? Yes, yes I do. Should I care? Probably not!):
- Carl Jung, psychiatrist, and psychologist
- Nikola Tesla, inventor
- Isaac Asimov, writer

Where are all the amazing INTJ women? I went looking and found a site I quickly bookmarked for future exploration: Owlcation (you had me at owl). And another: INTJ vision (INTJ women are unicorns? I’m hooked).
Let’s fix the above list:
- Marie Currie (INTJ or INTP — there’s an online debate and I agree she was INTJ), physicist, chemist, Nobel Laureate
- Michelle Obama, lawyer, writer, badass
- Audrey Hepburn, actor, humanitarian
There, that’s much better!
My “unique Genius Style” from the report emailed to me has to be shared. I think the strengths are accurate. I know the weaknesses are.
“Strengths:
- Foresees outcomes long into the future
- Understands how the mind works
- A futurist, while keeping practical
Weaknesses:
- Getting out of your head and into action
- Perfectionist, self-sabotaging
- Can be prideful”
Any other unicorns out there? My tribe is small and new members are welcome, after the obligatory introvert period of reflection of course.
Peace and progress,
Colleen
…that was my testing back in residency…
