INTJ, who'da thunk?

...anyone who knows me I'm sure :) So I woke up this morning and had an idea about an interest I should add to my LiveJournal list. After adding it I noticed, somewhat amazed—though I shouldn't be—, that there were others who shared the interest. Thus began an extended spidering through the web. One thread of that travel led me to take a Myers-Brigs test, the results of which were INTJ: Introspective iNtuitive Thinking Judging (strengths of preference 33%, 88%, 12%, and 44% respectively).

Which is pretty consistent with what I usually get on such things. The amusing thing is some of the articles linked to from that site describing the type. In particular D. Keirsey labels it the "Mastermind Rational". Some more amusing excerpts are:

[...Masterminds] tend to be much more self-confident than [other Rationals], having, for obscure reasons, developed a very strong will. [...] Natural leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command of projects or groups, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. [...] Theories which cannot be made to work are quickly discarded by the Masterminds. On the other hand, Masterminds can be quite ruthless in implementing effective ideas, seldom counting personal cost in terms of time and energy.

There's also the description by Marina Margaret Heiss, which is quite amusing on the whole if only because it's so accurate. ( I've excerpted greater than half of the thing, so you might as well just follow the link. )
