Myers-Briggs personality types

I recently changed my userinfo to mention that I'm an INFP, which is really a very accurate description of my personality. Quite often, I find myself wanting to explain my actions by saying "it's an INFP thing".

So, in the interest of fostering understanding (and that's an INFP thing), I've put together a poll. I added the Hogwarts question on a whim; if a lot of people respond, I'll collate the two and see if the same types end up in the same houses.

If you don't know your type, there are tests here and here.

EDIT: For collating the results, I'll use all responses received within 72 hours. (That means before 10:30am Pacific Time on Tuesday, 3/23.) If you show up after that, feel free to take the survey anyway; it's just that there's a limit to how much data I can process.

EDIT2: The 72 hours are up. You're still welcome to take the survey, of course. The last respondent to make it in under the wire was [livejournal.com profile] izmeina. I'll let [livejournal.com profile] quickquote know when the results are prepared.

EDIT3: The results are here.


[Poll #265921]

So far, just glancing at the raw data, the most interesting thing that just jumps out is the high percentage of INTx, followed by INxx. And what that says about the populations of fandom and live journal users. And the percentage correlation between those types and Ravenclaw. It will be interesting to see what the actual type/house correlation ends up being.
