I did similar things in undergrad. I'm an INTJ.-(Double check... I'm fairly certain you flipped the J and F and you would be an INFJ). That was Ghandi's personality type. I'm impressed! -I've done the MBTI several times because I very frequently score between J and P, but if you notice that I'm always concerned with the practical nature of ideas (physical constraints back when we discussed a global flood) coupled with the fact that I have no problem making decisions (all ideas are not equal), I'm definitely more J than P. -I also have no respect for "authority" until it is warranted and usually only take leadership in something when I feel present leadership evokes disgust. I've been told I'm an excellent leader, but this phrase sums up how I get usually get the job: "To be a hero, you don't need to step forward, everyone else just needs to take one step back."-I also know that my ideas tend to be considered eccentric and outlandish to most people, so I usually only share my nature with a few close people. (dhw and David probably know more about my inner life than my wife.) -My Strengthsfinder ranking is such:
Ideation
Learner
Intellection
Strategic
Input-My feedback on these exams is that I definitely feel they are accurate reflections, even though I appreciate that results can shift based on mood. -The strengthsfinder exam hits it on the nail as my approach to problem solving actually follows EXACTLY in the order given. (Brainstorm, fact find, synthesize, plan, get feedback.)

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
