Polecat suggested I start up a separate thread for this. I brought up the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator test in the me-so-lonely personals ad "Horny as I am" thread. There is a free online version of the test at: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes1.htm
A few things about the test before you take it.
1) There are no right or wrong answers. Just answer honestly and the test will indicate what your personality type is.
2) When in doubt on how you'd answer a question, go with your gut feeling. Go ahead and take a moment to think about it. It isn't a timed test. Just don't skip a question.
3) Similiar to Point #1, there are no good or bad personality types. What the test is meant for is for you to better understand who you are. It's a mirror. It only reflects what you give it. How much you get out of the test is how honest you were when you took it and how much you research what the results are. If this really interests you, I suggest you read "Please Understand Me" by David Keirsey and Marilyn Bates. That's a good book written for the general public about Jungian theory, the test, and what the test results mean.
4) The test has standed up to a lot of critiques and done very well. Surprisingly well. This upsets some who are not Jungians. I, myself, am a behaviorist (i.e., we're all just animals), but I do find value and merit in this Jungian test. I know it has enabled me to better understand myself, my family, friends, co-workers, and pretty much anyone ... as well as what jobs are best for me, why I react the way I do to certain situations, why I'm attracted to certain personality types, and a whole list of things.
Now if people want to post what their scores are, I'm willing to give an unofficial off-the-cuff reading of them and answer any questions you might have. Having a psychology degree, I might as well put it to some good use. I've also administered the original Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator test and am quite familiar with it and Jungian theory.
Oh, the idea why I brought up the test was a proposal I made about starting up a new forum for personals. That why those who dream of dating a stripper can post them there and not bother this or the other forums at Stripper Web. In other words, a nice little blackhole that the lonely can post to and which we can ask the moderators to send personal ads to that appear in the rest of the forums.
Lastly, as it might be a question some might have, my personality type is prototype ENTP. I scored very strong on each of those letters.
