1) Atheist/Existential/Buddhist and/or intellectual mystic

2) INTP 67/89/56/67

3) Right handed (used to be ambidextrous but my kindergarten teachers "fixed" that, the vile odious villians i LIKED being able to write with both hands)

4) Spot on with the INTP bit, its almost unerving. Even granting that there are some things that dont quite fit due to the reletivly narrow field of questions, take that how you will.

I'm

1) Atheist
2) ISTJ, but the S had a very small margin.
3) Right-handed
4) Multiple-choice questionnaires tend to aggravate me. I am often frustrated at being forced to use the provided answers, and do without what I see as critical information.
5) Are you in favour of colour bar and class distinction?

The precise numbers were: 33 1 22 11

The description of the "Inspector" got some parts of me right, but an awful lot wrong. I don't see myself as a banker.

As INTP as they get

Right handed

Yes INTP's have almost no functioning right brain halves, but God saves them anyway. The problem with some of the above conclusions is that they begin with the false belief that the ability to reason helps one prove or disprove God exists. God would not by definition manifest himself through our puny human minds, or via the left brain, so actually the INTP could as easily be at a disadvantage. Paul sounds like an INTP to me, given his conceptual and philosophical bent, but do we imagine his left brain went along with him to the "third heaven"?

The "ability to reason" didn't help Newton, Locke or Pascal lose any faith. (Although Newton may have been an INTJ) One of the traits of the INTP is that s/he thinks in the most principled manner of all the types, and is able to note contradictory statements, however distantly spaced in time. Yet Newton and Pascal, while slightly out of the mainstream on some doctrinal issues, apparently failed to notice all these irreconcilable "contradictions" in the NT. Meanwhile atheist INTP's apparently fail to notice the contradictions in their own thinking. What I'm saying is that other factors are at work here, whoever is right or wrong.

I believe Tercel will turn out INTP as well and I suspect your theory is highly flawed, even going by the numbers. I suspect upbringing has much to do with a persons beliefs. Where beliefs are extreme i.e, where a Christian refuses to admit any contradiction or problems at all with the Bible text, or anyone who sees only in black and white, we would find problems with upbringing- at least least we would see as much correlation as in the evidence for the present theory.

No but I would bet you will turn out to be a pillar or conservator of the community in spite of your faulty beliefs. You would probably find it hard to see an old building demolished, or a culture anniliated.

These tests are surprisingly accurate. Much as we hate the thought of being pigeonholed, they are a great help to those who wish to understand and appreciate other's marvelous differences. Reading Myer- Briggs helps us know why we are attracted to opposites, and why we ought not to try to "fix" them when we marry them because they compliment us and help us experience much which might be lost to us.

The description sounded reasonably accurate to me. There were many of the questions where, depending on my current mood, could have gone either way.

3) Right handed
4) These sort of tests can be trivially interesting, but I think they're far too ambiguous and obvious to be of real value. I've scored as high as 100 in various areas--usually introversion--depending on my mood at the time, and my creeping up toward the 'J' end is largely due to a concentrated effort on my part to be a bit more of an asshole, as it were. I suspect, though, that my answers might be more wishful thinking than reality. It's pretty obvious what they're getting at with the questions, so it's easy for that kind of wishful thinking to kick in, I'd imagine. And the way the questions are 'blocked' like that, I felt a compulsion to, say, break up a big block of Nos with a Yes, just so I wouldn't come out looking too crazy.

Besides, like I said, some of the questions are ambiguous. I'm often first to 'respond' to a ringing telephone. I usually jump at the sound, and sometimes run away so I can pretend I wasn't near enough to answer it. And that 'concentrating on tasks' one. What kind of tasks?

I've taken both versions of the test many times, though, and, apart from one time I was having a really frustrating day and got a slightly expressed J, I get basically the same results.

Overall, it's pretty accurate, but I don't like the wording of some of the questions, and I don't like using such absolute criteria to evaluate squishy concepts.

Tercel

1) Theist
2) INTP. I did the test twice answering any questions I wasn’t sure about differently the second time, just to see what difference it made to the numbers (I was INTP both times, and already knew that from previous MB tests). The two different values I got for the sections were:
56/89 78/100 33/67 11/67
3) Right-handed
4) I think your sample hugely problematic: Asking this question on a BBS will bias the results towards INTXs and computer geeks. I thought some of their questions in the Thinking vs Feeling section were rather dubious. I ended up choosing options that I felt indicated I was more F than I am just because I try to be nice to other people which I feel comes more from a conscious T-based decision than any F-ness.
5) When I first did the MB test in a Christian setting, I was interested to note that one of the comments made in the book being used about INTP spirituality was the possibility of being an atheist – it seemed to imply this personality type was more likely to result in atheism than some of the others. (And yet my circle of Christian friends is disproportionately very high in INTPs)

Such things can bother me. But it doesn't feel like a perfect fit. I try new things. I try to innovate.

Braces_for_impact (another ISTJ) put it well. I don't think I'm that stodgy.

But then again, maybe it's just a matter of time. I read my palm, and it said the same thing.

Oxymoron

1.) strong atheist
2.) INTJ 11 44 11 56
3.) right handed
4.) a broadly accurate description of certain aspects of my personality, nice to read, but the whole was no more than the sum of the parts that I had entered. I'm not sure about the title of "mastermind", flattering though it was
