Interesting. I was an INTJ on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator personality test that Meli gave me the link to. Nancy and Tough Broad also came out scoring INTJ.
I wonder what other PF bloggers come out with ...
Take the test and post your results!

I also came up with an INTJ. It is a little strange that so many of us are INTJ when it says only 1% of the general population will be INTJ. Perhaps there is something to your theory about INTJ's having a natural interest in personal finance?
Some of the descriptions of INTJ traits were scarily accurate, describing me to a T. I'm interested to see what results other people had.
-Russ
I's ISFJ, which claims to make me a moderately expressed introvert, a slightly expressed feeling personality,a moderately expressed judging personality and a "Protector Guardian"
The detailed description fits me pretty well.
In it I got this: Thoroughness and frugality are also virtues for Protectors.
Maybe that's why I like Personal Finance? I am definitely more frugal than R.
I'm* (not I's)
I think I'm also an ISFJ, pretty strongly Introverted and Judging, and so little Sensing that I was originally categorized as "very little iNtuitive." Yeah, frugality!
I turned up INTJ, too. Go figure.
I remember doing the 'full' Myers-Briggs back in grade 5, but I don't remember which type I came up as then. I'd be curious to know whether my base personality has changed over the years. Thanks for the link to the test. I'll be linking back
ENTJ. I'm only moderate on extravert and intuitive though.
I agree with anonymous, I think *NTJ's have a natural interest in personal finance since.
N - intuition about how money fits into a bigger picture
T - willingness to think about things and analyze them.
J - judging (yourself) based on your own goals.
This might be the basis for another personality test which asks you about your habits. "Do you have a budget? Do you have short term and long term goals?"
I'm an ISTJ. I'm a moderate introvert with a moderately thinking and judging personality. I'm not if that fits me completely, but it might!
ESFJ for me. Some of the career picks for ESFJ has come up for me when i did other such tests before. None of them are close to what I am doing. hmmm... I wonder.
I'm an ENTJ. We used to conduct these at our company. When I first started my career I was an ISFJ. After 5 years of dealing with corporate america, I became the exact opposite! What does that say??!
I'm INTJ too! Actually I have taken the test several times over the years, and I fluctuate between INTJ and ENTJ for the most part (though I've had some F's thrown in more than once).
Actually, i just re-took it and it says I'm currently ENFJ. The N and J are strongest, with moderate E's and F's.
FUN. I love these things.
I scored as an ENTJ. Moderate on the E & N and low on the T & J. Not totally surprising :-)
WoW! PF people definitely lean to the T and J spectrums. =)
I am an ENFJ which goes well with my future career! I will post this on my teaching blog as an experiment to see what other teachers get.
I came out an ENTJ (extra-neurotic tough jughead - kidding!), which actually fits. Extraverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging. I'm good with people, I like being the center of attention, I can think three steps ahead of the current sitution, I plan things carefully, and I believe in law over leniency. Strange, but true. I do think it's odd that a lot of us came up -NTJ. How very...strange, and wonderful. At least we know we get along? Sometimes, support is the best thing when it comes to working through a problem.
ENFP
hehhe feels like i'm the odd duck here! I'm moderate on the E though - I did this in college, and i was almost equal E/I.
I'm an INTJ too!
I am INTJ as well.
I had to do this during training for my last job. I came up as an ENFJ, but then all my scores were sorta weak (meaning that I was not strongly E, N, F, or J). I wonder what that means...am I just a little bit of everything?
Also, interestingly, 34/36 of my co-workers turned out to be E's. I wonder if that was because we took the test at work and answered the questions in the way our bosses would've wanted us to answer (i.e. playing up our assertiveness, outgoingness, etc.)
INFJ
I'm ESFJ. It is facinating to be able to summarize yourself in an acronym isn't it?
I'm INFJ. I've heard that INTJ is the typical "nerd" personality so maybe you're all just money nerds :)
I'm a INFJ, so I'm close.
Whenever I do this test I always score as a very strong ISTJ. There's no doubt in my mind this is where I belong. The kind of work I do depends on this kind of mindset...which is prolly why I am kinda good at it. ;) Cool, apparently Warren Buffet is also an ISTJ.
This is a very light version if Meyers...so there's lots of room for play. Previous versions of this test have taken me hours to complete. Lots of fun though.
Add another INTJ here!
The problem with Myers-Brigg is that the test isn't terribly reliable (i.e. it frequently gives different results on retests), so it's not clear that it's measuring anything at all, never mind what it's supposed to measure.
For what it's worth, the test has always been reliable for me. I always score as an INTJ (with about 80% on I and J, nearly 100% on T, and usually about 60% on N). This test seems biased towards producing more N's than it should. I scored up 70% which is too high. So marginal N's should probably be S's.
