Books, Cats, Tech

"A Home without a cat, and a well-fed, well-petted and properly revered cat, may be a perfect home, perhaps, but how can it prove it's title?" — Mark Twain

Meyers-Briggs Personality Test results

Most of the time, when I take one of these tests the result is INTJ. However, if I look at the results, according to the percentages, I'm borderline INTJ/ISTJ. In fact, when I took a variation on the test, the conclusion was ISTJ..

INTJ

Introverted (I) 65.63% Extroverted (E) 34.38%
Intuitive (N) 52.38% Sensing (S) 47.62%
Thinking (T) 70.97% Feeling (F) 29.03%
Judging (J) 70% Perceiving (P) 30%

INTJ - "Mastermind".
Introverted and intellectually curious with a preference for finding certainty.
A builder of systems and the applier of theoretical models.
2.1% of total population.

ISTJ

Introverted (I) 71.43% Extroverted (E) 28.57%
Sensing (S) 52.5% Intuitive (N) 47.5%
Thinking (T) 62.5% Feeling (F) 37.5%
Judging (J) 81.48% Perceiving (P) 18.52%

ISTJ - "Trustee".
Decisiveness in practical affairs.
Guardian of time- honored institutions.
Dependable.
11.6% of total population.
