more myers-briggs anyone?

i found another interesting questionaire, which gives you a score on
each of the 16 personality types, and asks you to look at the
descriptions for the 4 on which you received the highest scores:

http://www.santafecoach.com/Ptest/the%20DLC%20ptest.htm

my scores (as your humble spawn of satan, i thought you might like to
know) were:

INTJ -- 73
ENTJ -- 71
INTP -- 58
ESTJ -- 56

all four of the descriptions for these (which you can get by clicking
on them) describe me *very* well.

then again, this could be like astrology . . .

Mine were:

INTP 174
ISTP 149
INTJ 147
ENTP 130

I must have have been more emphatic in my answering?

>all four of the descriptions for these (which you can get by

Of the top four, I think the INTJ description fits me best,
though none of them feel prescient to me.

I also read the descriptions of the lowest four:

ESFJ 8
ENFJ 33
ESFP 35
ISFJ 52

Which don't describe me nearly as well.

I don't think it has much explanatory power, but it probably has
more than astrology.

I came up INTJ and/or ENTP in the three other Myers-Briggs tests
we've taken. This test is fundamentally different from the
others, and there is some agreement, so I'm impressed.

Still, I'm not sure they do any better than just reading the
descriptions and choosing. How could this be tested? Have friends
read the descriptions, and see if they choose more like the test
result or more like your choice?

looking at just our top scores, this reverses what you and i looked
like according to a previous test.

well sure, since the answers you provide in the questionnaire are
parrotted back to you in the results!

i took yet another test and got INTP again . . .

Man, I can't agree more. In fact, a draft of that message had a
warning about his self-titled album. I actually sold it back to
Amoeba for 75% store credit. Last night, in fact.

I did think Oysterhead was ok. Didn't hear the first solo round.
But Trey is coming across to me as a meglomaniac (esp. since I saw
Bittersweet Hotel). Listening to Electra Glide, on the other hand,
I'm finding a real soft spot for Page the artist:

And Gordon, in "Outside Out", and hopefully in the forthcoming
"Clone", seems to swing my favorite chunk of Phish.

Planning to attend the reunion show(s)?
