This is the third time I've taken the test, and I've gotten three different answers.
First time: maybe about 12 years ago, INTP
Second time: maybe about 6 years, INTJ
This time: took the test a couple months ago, INFJ
My officemate went on this kick and had a bunch of us at the office take the test, and we posted the results on our dry-erase board in our office.

Also had a couple of goes on this test, been INFJ every time. interesting however how time can have an influence on your personality. Choices and consequences I guess

I don't need to take tests to find that I'm a psycho.

Normally I think these personality profile things are garbage but in this case so much hits home with the ENTP type for me. Maybe it's different when you're filling them out for fun at speed than for a job interview (where everyone cheats mercilessly because the questions are very different than those ones and it's very clear what the "right" answer is for the job you're applying for).

ENTP too, but I still think that that particular test was rubbish.

Well an ENTP *would* say that wouldn't they! 
Cheers fellow ENTP!

What is your job? Are you also programmers, or more like managers? The Boss? Other?
|
|

Well, I am better at managing then being managed, however I am EXCELLENT at taking an impossible task, and getting it to a place where it is manageable by one or two people (with little experience).
- my first "program" was an inventory management system for Mayo (yes THE Mayo Hospital).
- in Grad school I took on a programming project for my adviser in Organic Chemistry, and pumped out a patent(pending)  (graphics).
the majority of what I've worked on would fall into the category of a version of scripting so that someone who has absolutely no idea of what goes on inside code, can set up a "functional" and do what it is that they are attempting to do.. trickiest issues I find are the ones where you aren't sure just how far you should dumb it down so that .. even a 3 yr old . . could use your program..
However I don't play well with others. And require little (like I will come to you if I have a question) management... Give me a set of minimum requirements maybe a brief description of what you want it to do and voila a couple of months later I will give you a full program(only polishing that needs to be done is commenting, and final deployment checks).. I don't comment unless it is so complex that I get lost, in which case I use minimal comments..... Minimal. 
But I've decided I'm not really Academic material  and so now I just work for myself..

Currently I am a senior .NET DEveloper but I am growing to be a friendly but efficient team leader

I used to be an INTJ back in college and started out as a programmer, but am now a clear ENTJ. Moving into a BA/team lead role.

My official title is CIO but the reality is I have a team of 4 that are responsible for a range of activities varying from graphic design to network maintenance to technical support to development. I still have a hands on role in most of these as well as the management side of things.

I'm ISTP, just like my heroine Amelia Earhart. I too am lost in the middle of a large body of water. Put me in the middle of a large body of Whisky, however, and I have no problems.

"The SHOJI will soon be “field tested” at Tokyo-area companies, hospitals and in residential settings, suggesting that the creators are serious about this psuedoscientific hogwash. Even so, it’s still far better than the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, which is just as silly but doesn’t have the benefit of making your office look like a 1980s strip club."

I'm ESTP and I've been a programmer all my career.
I've found that the best ones are generally smarter and more sociable allround!
INTJ - a bit of a stereotype if you ask me!!!
|
|
|
|
|
I don't agree that it is a stereotype if the data proves it.
The bad part comes in when people start to use this tool as a strict hiring compass.

Only 1 ISFJ so far! I guess I'm one of a kind here.

When I voted more than 50% of us were INTJ's
I was cool with being an INTJ until I saw that woman, the one who's name I refuse to even think, is also an INTJ, and I'm not thinking of Marie Curie - so I'm off to see my shrink to get a personality transplant.

I might not agree with much of what Ayn Rand wrote but I do respect her intellectual rigour.
However for Mrs Greywater I've no respect of any kind. Think - what 'colors' make grey, then add a 'water' to the end of each thereof, you should now know who I'm talking about.
