I don't see a Myers-Briggs personality survey anywhere on LessWrong but I would like to make one. I also have predictions, and I think it would be neat to see if I'm correct (predictions below in an unedited comment.)

I am aware that the Myers-Briggs is considered to have inaccuracies - for instance, I've scored different types at different times. I do not feel that this makes it useless but that it reflects the fact that your personality can change due to things like (for me) switching from doing a lot of art and people work (feeler type) to doing more intellectually rigorous activities (thinker type).

Should I make a new post for that? Post a poll in the open threads over and over until I get 100 responses? Ask Yvain to include it on the next survey? How should I do this?

Proposed Poll:

What is your last Myers-Briggs personality type score:

  • INTJ
  • INTP
  • ENTJ
  • ENTP
  • INFP
  • INFJ
  • ENFJ
  • ENFP
  • ISTJ
  • ISTP
  • ESTJ
  • ESTP
  • ISFJ
  • ISFP
  • ESFJ
  • ESFP

These questions are interesting because there are some connections with personal development:

Regarding I/E (introversion / extroversion), have you gotten a score near the border between them, or gotten a different I/E result when taking the test multiple times?

  • I got results near the border (maybe the same result maybe different).
  • I got two very different results (not near the border, not the same result).
  • None of the above.

(Etc. for the other three dimensions)
