Hmm INTJ = outside contractor to build the Death Star and act as hatchet “man”? Lets see - Deanna does her work as a contractor and bleeds all over someones work that they have poured their hearts into :). I am also INTJ. I work for an engineering company and we’re often brought in to take over work that might have been done by those inside the company. Sometimes it is a solution to internal politics that are preventing any kind of progress. Although we have never been contracted to build the Death Star the process isn’t all that different. I’ve even spent quite a bit of time building robotic like devices. I never had the opportunity to build one that emulated my ideal for a “friend” but ….:) does writing a fantasy story count as building ones own friends?

I wonder how many writers are INTJ?

Ha — I don’t think I’d quite seen this one before. I’m not an INTJ but am another rare INTP cousin, weirder because apparently good girls aren’t supposed to be INTPs.

I wonder if an SF analog would be Death Star Architect…

Templarwolf: My husband’s an INTP. We shared a rueful laugh over his “Relationships” description, because it’s just so sadly true.

Jess: I feel a strong bond with the SF world–we’re all pretty close, really. I suspect I come across as aloof to outsiders, though it’s more introversion than anything.

Steve: It’s odd how those work sometimes. :-)

Jody: There are parts that don’t fit me, but overall I think the INTJ descriptions peg me.

The SF Meyers-Briggs personality index is hilarious. I, too, tested as an INTJ, and think the “humorous” description is quite accurate! We are fixers. ;-)

When I took the M-B here at work a few months back, I tested out as ENTJ and ENFJ for some reason. Must be the split personality, because I’ve never considered myself very E.

Deanna, you’ve never struck me as either aloof or arrogant.

That’s great, but I’m not sure if I should be relieved or upset that I’m not operating on par with other INTPs. I could fix the boat, but I couldn’t make a reacton with the coconuts and string.

Although I could whip up something to hunt with from those…
