Temperament

I am a Melancholic-Phlegmatic according to the temperament theory I was introduced to through LaHaye’s Why You Act The Way You Do.

I am an iNTj, or Mastermind Rational, according to the Jung typology test taken via http://www.humanmetrics.com/. TypeLogic.com has a detailed and personally accurate description of the iNTj. From keirsy.com, there’s the Portrait of the Mastermind.

Type	Introversion Extraversion	iNtuitive Sensing	Feeling Thinking	Judging Perceiving
Strength of Preference / %	44	75	1	11

• moderately expressed introvert
• distinctively expressed intuitive personality
• slightly expressed thinking personality
• slightly expressed judging personality

From the extremely low percentage preference for Feeling/Thinking, it can be seen I am alternately an iNFj, or Counselor Idealist.

The Judging/Perceiving preference was also quite marginal. I quote the Wiki article on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator: ‘Contrary to the popularized “J” being decisive or “P” being flexible, Myers and Briggs taught that a person whose type ends in “J” really means that person “leads with” or “shows the world” whichever is in the Judging function – either T or F. A TJ comes across as extremely logical and rational, while a person who is FJ is a “heart on the sleeve” type of person.’

From MyPersonality.info, however, I seem to be positively an iNTp:
