just took a personality test. Does it surprise anyone at all that I'm an intj?
Welcome to the club. I'm INTJ as well.

Not at all, but take these with a pinch of salt. Everyone is a bit intj and people CAN change their outcome in tests.

^this. The Meyers Briggs test doesn't do a great job of camouflaging questions. It's very easy to game the test to get an XXXX personality, which essentially means you personality is completely dependent on who you're with to a wildly varying degree.
Not saying that you did anything of the sort, but once you are aware of the possible outcomes, it can lead to bias that invalidates the test.
Yeah I wasn't trying to insinuate that you werent being honest with it, but most versions of the test have very black/white choices. Rephrasing the question later on doesn't exactly make up for it IMO
M-b is good tool if you are trying to understand yourself, when you are not trying to game it. In practical environments sensible people switched to behaviour-based tools such as DISC. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DISC_assessment

I'd have to agree. I prefer DISC to Meyers Briggs.
