MBTI type (may not be the most "scientifically valid", but it's probably the one the most people would know).

Useless, I think. For any site that caters to the hacker/libertarian/technophile cluster, the results are invariably dominated by INTJs and INTPs with a few ENTJs, and everything else put together being in the single digits. The meaning of the specific numbers we get for this site will be completely drowned out by sampling bias and the general imprecision of the test.

actually, the test I took identified me as a feeling type, ENFP

ETA: Though it could be relevant that I took the test since reading Feeling Rational which has made a lot of standard quiz questions about thinking vs. feeling read like nonsense to me.
