ISTP, huh?

Have you ever wondered how your personality might determine your path in life? Recently I took a Myers-Briggs personality test and found out I have an ISTP personality. Which for those that know me is probably not much of a surprise but what I found to be surprising is how much that actually matched my life. Here is what can be said about the ISTP personality...

According to Myers-Briggs, ISTPs excel at analyzing situations to reach the heart of a problem so that they can swiftly implement a functional repair, making them ideally suited to the field of engineering. Naturally quiet people, they are interested in understanding how systems operate, focusing on efficient operation and structure. They are open to new information and approaches. But contrary to their seemingly detached natures, ISTPs are often capable of humorously insightful observations about the world around them, and can be closet "daredevils" who gravitate toward fast-moving and/or risky hobbies (such as bungee jumping, hang gliding, motorcycling, parachuting, SCUBA diving, etc.), recreational sports (such as downhill skiing, ice hockey, racing, etc.), and careers (such as aviation, firefighting, etc.).

Scary Eh? How well does your Myers-Briggs indicator predict your life?

You might be able to take a similar test at emode.com, not really sure. The Myers-Briggs test is one that needs to be administered by a 'professional', not really sure why. Mine was part of a leadership class.
