Hey everyone a few months ago I discovered the myers briggs typology test. Unlike most of those lil personality quizzes you see out there that give vague answers that can apply to anyone this one is used for psychologically profiling a person and works extremely well. It may be best to take the test before you read the following.
Heres the test. It doesn't really take very long, but try to be honest with your self.
Personality test based on Jung - Myers-Briggs typology
Heres a site with full descriptions of each personality

What those letters mean.
Introversion Vs Extraversion
People with a preference for Extraversion draw energy from action: they tend to act, then reflect, then act further. If they are inactive, their level of energy and motivation tends to decline. The Extravert's is directed outward towards people and objects.
Conversely, those whose preference is Introversion become less energized as they act: they prefer to reflect, then act, then reflect again. People with Introversion preferences need time out to reflect in order to rebuild energy. The Introvert's flow is directed inward toward concepts, ideas, and reflection.
Sensing Vs iNtuition
These are the information-gathering or perceiving functions. They describe how new information is understood and interpreted. Individuals who prefer Sensing are more likely to trust information that is in the present, tangible and concrete: that is, information that can be understood by the five senses. They tend to distrust hunches that seem to come out of nowhere. They prefer to look for details and facts. For them, the meaning is in the data.
On the other hand, those who prefer intuition tend to trust information that is more abstract or theoretical, they can take in information and infer new information from it. They may be more interested in future possibilities. They tend to trust those flashes of insight that seem to bubble up from the unconscious mind. The meaning is in how the data relates to the pattern or theory.
Thinking Vs Feeling
The decision making or judging functions. The Thinking and Feeling functions are both used to make rational decisions, based on the data received from their information-gathering functions (Sensing or iNtuition). Feeling is the ability to deal with information on the basis of how it makes one feel and how it makes others feel. They seek harmony and consider their relationships and emotions int he decision.
When thinkers make a decision, they like to find the basic truth or principle to be applied, regardless of the specific situation involved. They like to analyze pros and cons, and then be consistent and logical in deciding. Thinkers try to be impersonal, so that their own wishes and other people’s wishes, wont influence them.
Judging Vs Perceiving
Judgers dominate function is either thinking or feeling. They approach life in a structured way, creating plans and organizing their world to achieve their goals and desired results in a predictable way. They get their sense of control by taking charge of their environment and making choices early. They are self-disciplined and decisive, and seek closure in decisions. When they ask for things they are specific and expect others to do as they say. They enjoy being experts.
Perceivers dominate function is intuition or sensing. They think of structure as being more limiting than enabling. They prefer to keep their choices open so they can cope with many problems that the know life will put in their way. They get their sense of control by keeping their options open and making choices only when they are necessary. They are generally curious and like to expand their knowledge, which they will freely acknowledge as being incomplete. They are tolerant of other people's differences and will adapt to fit into whatever the situation requires. They like to remain flexible.
We also have problems conforming to society or its standards sometimes. It was interesting to find that out but it was something I already knew about my self and expressed.
