Ask HN: What's your Myers-Briggs type?
What's your Myers-Briggs type? I'm curious about what the landscape looks like for founders, programmers and YC readers. If you don't know, you can take the test here:

- onan_barbarian 16y agoWhen I'm asked my Myers-Briggs type, for some reason I always think of Glengarry Glen Ross: "Fuck you, that's my Myers-Briggs type".

- Mz 16y agoIt's been muchly debated whether I am an ENTP or an ENFP: Feelers accuse me of being an icky Thinker and Thinkers accuse me of being an icky Feeler. (I apparently am an equal-opportunity offender). I'm definitely an ENxP though.
- dholowiski 16y agoIxxP - varies from day to day and what version of the test I'm taking.
- gojomo 16y agoAt a certain karma level, you can add a 'poll' question with votable alternates. Much less messy than creating comments-as-answers. This has also been polled before enough to answer the question in general terms for the readership-that-chooses-to-answer: http://searchyc.com/submissions/briggs+types http://searchyc.com/submissions/briggs+types
- katieben 16y agoOh cool, thanks! Interesting, INTJ is only 1%. I had a theory that more programmers would be INTJ.
- katieben 16y agonm, just saw the second link - this has been asked a lot. And in the second, INTJ did stand out as the most common.
- gojomo 16y agoThe percentages listed next to the choices in the epi0Bauqu poll are rates reported in general population; you'll have to look at the 'points' to see how people responded, and it does appear there are many more INTJs among HN respondents.
