   We were having fun with MBTI at work so I tested myself for the first time in a while.

   I don't take it seriously, it's self-reported, MBTI is notoriously inconsistent and the archetype interpretation is horoscopes for numbers-inclined people, but like horoscopes it can be a good conversation and self-reflection starter.

   Please don't use MBTI in job interviews or in recurring HR evaluations. Neither has happened to me, but I hear it happens in the States.

      For me personally the result has always fluctuated between ENTP and INTP, with more INTP in my later years. Reservations again for the validity of MBTI, but *NTP tend to be very common among programmers, so there is very little surprise there.

         Interestingly enough I tested as ISTP this time, that's a first. Pretty close to the middle there on the S/N scale, and I have an idea of which answers did it, and I didn't really like how those questions were phrased.

         Still, I find it intriguing. I can't help but think that this accurately reflects an underlying change in how I see myself and the world. Some of the questions I know I would have answered differently ten years ago.

      @clacke I think it is technically illegal to use MBTI in an HR context. Not explicitly banned, but non job related innate personal characteristics are a major danger zone.
