Todays test (7JUL02) taken because of the information found in the (poplink note) on the last page.  Either way, I'm still an ISTJ and I agree with that 90% *  of the time!!

Jung Typology Test - based on the MBTI
Your Type is ISTJ - Introverted / Sensing / Thinking / Judging
You are:
moderately expressed introvert
slightly expressed sensing personality
moderately expressed thinking personality
distinctively expressed judging personality

that's all they tell you though.... I went to PersonalityType.com to get the breakdown

• Guardians pride themselves on being dependable, helpful, and hard-working.
• Guardians make loyal mates, responsible parents, and stabilizing leaders.
• Guardians tend to be dutiful, cautious, humble, and focused on credentials and traditions.
• Guardians are concerned citizens who trust authority, join groups, seek security, prize gratitude, and dream of meting out justice.
• Guardians are the cornerstone of society, for they are the temperament given to serving and preserving our most important social institutions. Guardians have natural talent in managing goods and services--from supervision to maintenance and supply--and they use all their skills to keep things running smoothly in their families, communities, schools, churches, hospitals, and businesses.

Guardians make up as much as 40 to 45 percent of the population.

Life as an ISTJ -  (Introvert, Sensor, Thinker, Judger)

People of this type tend to be: cautious, conservative, and quiet; literal, realistic, and practical; careful and precise; logical, honest, and matter of fact; resistant to change and comfortable with routine; hard working and responsible.

The most important thing to ISTJs is being of service, working hard, and being responsible.

Parenting ISTJs

The Joys and Challenges of Raising ISTJs:

• They are quiet, serious, and careful but typically are reluctant to initiate social interaction.
• While they are organized, determined, and methodical, they can also be single-minded, super cautious and a bit rigid.
• What works with ISTJs:
• give them plenty of time to adjust to new things and keep routines in place as much as possible
• be clear and explicit in your directions and requests; say what you mean, and mean what you say
• don't rush them from one activity to another; respect their slower transition pace

Parents of ISTJs: they'll know you really love them when you...
let them demonstrate their expertise, ask them to research a potential purchase.

MTR-i Reviewer, very interesting!! Visit Team Technology for a shitload more information about the MMDi and the MBTI - especially if you like the controversial comparrison between the two!!  TT does say "Myers Briggs model of personality is concerned with your inborn preferences.", and they clarify that TT and the MMDI are * more about the discovery of your alternate personas.  Kewl eh?!  Yes... this fascinates me!! Especially the fact that it all helps me interact with other people - which I obviously have a problem with.
