Dialogos of Eide is a INTJ - The Scientists-

See what effect you scientists can have on a layperson?

But I am truly surprised given the mathematical arena you work in Clifford that it would be overshadowed more by the mechanic rather then the scientist. A more hands on a approach then(?)to transmittal of knowledge rather then working to understand the reality?( which again seems wrong to me)while agreeing “that such help to distribute knowledge” is inclined mechanically pointing toward the dominant portion of appearance as a seasoned teacher.

Best,

Where’s the J in the above diagram?! Or is that just for an ISTP? Can’t be, there’s the N, too.
Well, there I go, being the ESTJ I am! (Note there’s lots in the library literature about MB Types; mostly Is, not surprisingly.) I think scientists tends toward I as well. So why am I a librarian who likes scientists?! Perhaps an opposites thing….

I also was typed as an ISTP, at The First Excited State. I don’t know what algorithm they use here, but I usually am an INTJ on these type of tests.

Also… “likes to work together with other independent people”…? Isn’t that self-contradictory?

Some others:

Louise Riofrio = INTJ - The Scientists
Carl Brannen = INTP - The Thinkers
Lubos Motl = INTP - The Thinkers

Apparently I’m a Duty Fulfiller = ISTJ (although I know I’m an INTJ by personality type). Apparently we like to get the facts right, and to do things alone and at our own pace.

Heh. Fun.

Apparently my blog indicates that I am of the type INTP.

The logical and analytical type. They are especialy attuned to difficult creative and intellectual challenges and always look for something more complex to dig into. They are great at finding subtle connections between things and imagine far-reaching implications.

They enjoy working with complex things using a lot of concepts and imaginative models of reality. Since they are not very good at seeing and understanding the needs of other people, they might come across as arrogant, impatient and insensitive to people that need some time to understand what they are talking about.

Pretty much fits, but… Wow, really? I thought I was good at seeing and understanding the needs of other people… oh well.
