[In October] I got "Resolver".

( Show Spoiler )

spontaneous | facts | heads | introvert

Summary of Resolvers

• Good at getting to the heart of a problem and quickly finding a solution
• Make rational decisions using the facts available
• Think of themselves as understanding, stable and easy-going
• May focus on short-term results and lose sight of the big picture

More about Resolvers

• Resolvers are independent people who quietly learn how things work by analysing large amounts of information. Should a problem arise, they solve it with as little fuss as possible. Resolvers are only interested in abstract ideas, if they can be used to solve a problem quickly.
• Resolvers like to take risks: Many of them seek jobs and pastimes that put them in harms way and guarantee an adrenaline rush.
• Resolvers have changed jobs most frequently since leaving full-time education, according to a UK survey.
• Resolvers are often tolerant of behaviour different to their own as long as their values aren't compromised. They sometimes give the impression that they agree with other peoples' viewpoints because they don't actively disagree.
• In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Resolvers may become cynical, negatively critical or put off decisions. Under extreme stress, Resolvers could be prone to inappropriate, tearful outbursts.
• Resolvers are quiet and sometimes it is difficult to get to know them; however, they often talk freely about subjects they understand well.

To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

Masterminds value independence and prefer to work on their own. Once they have decided on a course of action, Masterminds rarely change their minds, although they can be persuaded by clear reasoning by someone they respect.
In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Masterminds may cut themselves off from a group and criticize people who don't understand their plans. Under extreme stress, Masterminds may overindulge in sensory experiences like eating, shopping or watching television.
Masterminds often have an unusual sense of humour, which arises from their ability to spot surprising links between seemingly unconnected facts.
Mastermind Careers

Masterminds are drawn to jobs requiring logical analysis or abstract thinking common in science or technical fields.
It's important to remember that no survey can predict personality type with 100 percent accuracy. Experts say that we should use personality type to better understand ourselves and others, but shouldn't feel restricted by our results.

nice they would suggest, rather than opine....

[tp6626]

I did this one about 3 years ago (even before MBTI) and got 'Realist'.

IDEALIST, your answers suggest you are an Idealist:

The four aspects that make up this personality type are:
Spontaneous, Ideas, Hearts and Introvert
Summary of Idealists:

* Make sense of the world using inner values
* Focus on personal growth and the growth of others
* Think of themselves as bright, forgiving and curious

( Show Spoiler )

In situations where they can’t use their talents or are unappreciated, Idealists may have trouble expressing themselves and withdraw. Under extreme stress, Idealists may become very critical of others, or lose confidence in their own ability to cope.

Recognition for their work is important to Idealists; however, they are also good at spotting false praise.
Idealist Careers

Idealists are often drawn to jobs where they can help people reach their potential. They are also attracted to careers that allow artistic creativity

[azelismia]

not many intj's coming back in this survey, of course, they are about the results I'd have expected from the people coming back so far.

[Rudy]

Likewise, Mastermind.

[fomatizer]

Ok, I posted the score I got at the end of last year, which was "Resolver" but I took it again just now and this time got "Realist". I relate to both but think I was more of a Resolver when I took it last because of my job then (coping in a team environment with a lot of SJs, high profile role). When sticking with freelance work (much more my style), I'd say Realist is more accurate.

	So now you're an istp?

Sometimes. I don't have a lot of confidence in these sorts of tests. There were many questions where I didn't have a firm standpoint and just had to pick an answer at random. Like the grocery store questions. Who cares? Sometimes I do it this way, sometimes that... Also, on questions like:

Which set of words best describes you?

1. Cautious, thoughtful and loyal
2. Inquisitive, independent and contained
3. Lively, enthusiastic and energetic
4. Expressive, talkative and friendly

I'm different in different situations. Online, I'd say I'm #3, whereas in person, I'm more like #2 when working and #1 with family/friends but it depends on which family/friends... but that's not set in stone. I really don't have a set MO that fits all situations.

the trick is the choose the one you are like "most" often. look at it holistically instead of partitioned.

I got realist when I gave up trying to make sense of the picture and stuck with my description, or it'd have been mastermind. That's an odd one.

Most of the description of realist is very wrong.

[callmemigs]

this test is too rigid, specifically in the partition between planners vs. spontaneous.

Mastermind. I think I wanted to be a Strategist.

I got hung up on that question too. I knew it was a Dali painting and I've had more access to Dali's work from an early age than other artists because my mother was a fan. I have strong opinions about Dali's work. Looking at the questions holistically, I had to forget about the picture shown and reply based on what I usually look for (if not looking at a Dali painting).

the test was drawn up by the BBC. recall, if you will, the British couldn't figure out what to do with Hitler, for god's sake, and lost the friggin' colonies (almost all of them, worldwide, eventually)....sometimes a test says more about the test designer than the test takers. takes real testicles to draw up a great test. let Margaret Thatcher design a new test, then we'll see....
