I took yet another one of those Jungian personality type tests today.

[randomness]

(They always remind me of wolfkitn, actually, because she was the first to adminster one to me, at least in person.)

Anyway, I'm a ENFP. I'm not sure anyone who knows me reasonably well is at all surprised by this.

Over the years ETS kept assigning psychometricians to the test to work on it, only to have them throw up their hands in disgust at the thing.

Cute! I do think they've become so much a part of pop culture that they're a phenomenon of their own.

Even the best personality tests tend to be iffy, though, because people act differently under different circumstances, and because there are mathematical results that suggest that the traits you choose to put in your personality test can be pretty arbitrary, and you'll still get about the same amount of clustering and repeatability.

I had suspected something like the latter--well, the former, also--and would definitely be interested in any links if you have them handy.

(It would be amusing to put together a test with arbitrary traits and then post it as a meme...)
