I always kinda hoped that there would be something between an ENTJ and an INTJ. I consider myself a lazy-extrovert:

"that party sounds really cool to go to, but it's 25 minutes away. I'd rather save the gas money and watch a movie about a party".

I'm shocked, of course, at the somewhat disproportionate numbers of INTJs. :P

Mine says that I'm ingenious  ;D

It kinda reminds me of this:

The first time I heard about MBTI, it sounded like astrology to me too (the Western kind). However, after some years of paying attention to whether it predicts behavior, I would say it is a lot better than random chance.

If given the choice of Zodiac signs vs. MBTI assessment to determine an individual's behavior, I will pick MBTI every time.

Now if it were something like Zodiac signs/Horoscopes vs. Blood Type Personality I'd say they were both equally as likely to produce inconsistent/wrong predictions.. so that's more of a coin flip because both are pretty much useless for predicting behavior.

ENFP with borderline I, and in fact I accidentally clicked INFP which is a typical ENFP move.
My dad, an ISTJ, likes to remind me that 2 out of the 3 examples of ENFPs in the book are fictional characters.  >:(

INTP Snake.

I've always suspected that a disproportionate number of people on message boards test as INT's not because we're all great and smart but because only INT's care so much about categorizing things to read a thread about Myers-Briggs scores in the first place.  ;)

INTP here. Very interesting results.
Don't agree with me too strongly or I'm going to change my mind

I am an ISTJ. One of the prime occupations of ISTJ's is accounting. And, in many ways, accounting is information processing / classifying & organizing that information. Therefore, I'd amend your above statement to also include IST's.
