I scored as an INTJ-type personality: Introverted, Inuitive, Thinking, Judging. I was only a marginal Inuitive, though, not too far from sensing--I rated only 7 points out of sixty on the Inuitive end of the scale, but I rated much more strongly as Introverted (35 points), and less strongly but still fairly firmly as Thinking (17 points) and Judging (23 points).
It's rather surprising for me how well the test was at predicting my personality traits:
"INTJ
Have original minds and great drive for their own ideas and purposes. Have long-range vision and quickly find meaningful patterns in external events. In fields that appeal to them, they have a fine power to organize a job and carry it through. Skeptical, critical, independent, determined, have high standards of competence and performance."
And it goes on. People of my personality type are, apparently:
They present a calm, decisive and assured face to the world, though they often find it difficult to engage in social conversation. Others usualyl see inTJs as
By neglecting their non-preferred Sensing and Feeling parts, however, they may
And too, under extreme stress, INTJs can overindulge in Sensing activities--watching TV reruns, playing cards, overeating--or become overly focused on specific details that they normally do not notice or usually see as unimportant.
Some relatively attractive occupations for people of the INTJ personality type include architecture, executive management, human resources, the law, social services, and the sciences.
Hmm.
The test was really worth it. It makes things, well, clearer, at least.

And it goes on. People of my personality type are, apparently:
- insightful, creative synthesizers;
- conceptual, long-range thinkers;
- clear and concise;
- and, rational, detached and objectively critical.
They present a calm, decisive and assured face to the world, though they often find it difficult to engage in social conversation. Others usualyl see inTJs as
- private, reserved, hard to know, even aloof;
- and, conceptual, original, and independent.
By neglecting their non-preferred Sensing and Feeling parts, however, they may
- overlook details or facts that do not fit into their Intuitive patterns,
- engage in "intellectual games," quibbling over abstract issues and terms that have little meaning or relevance to others,
- not give enough weight to the impacts of their decisions on individuals, and
- not give as much praise or intimate connection as others desire.
