ENTP - and even tho I took it for "fun" the description really fit me. I showed my fiance and he had to laugh its so much like me. I bore easily with everything so I'm researching/reading/analyzing everything and anything - and thats exactly how I found PO.

Not sure what the peak-oiler thing means. Sure it will peak, but my position is that it wont matter, cornucopian, so I voted non-peak oiler.

Apparently non-peak oilers make about 1% of this poll.

[crapattack]

I am an INTP, if by Peak Oiler, you mean that I have studied the subject and have come to the conclusion that it is likely we will see the effects of Peak Oil in this generation, then I guess I would be one. It is not so much a belief as it is a best conclusion based on all the facts. Should data emerge or other mitigation arise that challenges the validity of this conclusion I would be more than willing to revise my thinking.

INFP

[Wrencher]

INTP/INFP depending on the day. Very balanced on that score. I have been doing Briggs/Myers typing for about 15 years, and I think it is a good tool for explaining why we all see the world a little different. It has been helpful with my wife, kids, co-workers, parents and friends - but more as a way of understanding them then anything else, and that is enough for me.

Concerning Peak Oil, it is really consistant that so many NT's (and maybe the T part of the NFs) recognise this problem as NT's are given to analysis and have a gift for taking seemingly random data and fitting the pieces of the puzzle together. Also, they are very much not impressed by authority figures, and the 'official story'. INTJs are the most independent of all the types with the INTPs and INFP's not being too far behind.

Very interesting observation. Good thread. NT's also have this obsession with being prepared and are interested in skills and tools for the security that they provide in terms of 'being able to' do what needs to be done. They also tend to have a need or want to own land for the same reasons.

Funny world isn't it?

I've tested as an ENTP previously, but can see how today's mood would shift my answers to an F. In my day to day comings and goings I'm far more T.

A few years ago i was an INTP, one of those 2% architect types. But then again, I was reading a lot of Ayn Rand at the time...

[Raxozanne]

Any bored new members want to take the test and help prove/disprove the theory that the majority of Peak Oilers have INTJ/P personality types? See first post for link to personality test.

ENTP.

It's interesting in that its classifying behaviours. But I don't see what it tells you beyond that a group of people share behaviour 'types'.

Given all classification is totally arbitrary any classification which doesn't even suggest a useful progression seems pointless.

Hah. I've never done this test before, and didn't know what the letters stood for, but as I was reading the various descriptions of the ENFP type I couldn't stop chuckling.

It's me on the bullseye.

And Damn...the rest of you are some STUFFFY SOB's!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

(kidding of course... Mostly anyways...)

It is interesting to think that there's such a huge concentration of the populace of this board towards those few areas of the spectrum. I wonder how that grouping will change as PO gets more mainstream... IF it gets more mainstream...

[crapattack]

My partner, and INFJ finds the forum excruiatingly stressful. I try to explain that I like a good debate and learning what others are thinking. I think Doly is right, it has to do with the structure of forums in general, and our particular types enjoying this format.

[jdmartin]

Well, I took the test and I'm INTP:

22-62-12-22, which says slight on everything except intuitive.

Some stuff I think it would kind of depend on the day and the mood, so I'm not sure if it's 100%. And besides, some of the questions themselves need more detail for me to really answer good. I find some of my questions would probably be answered "sometimes".

Nonetheless, interesting and I think it generally fits my way of thinking.

[seahorse2]

My score was 56-38-25-67 (INFJ type)

[Wrencher]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('kochevnik', ':')The evidence is right here in front of your nose in this thread and the other MBTI threads. 'Normal' people don't get it because they CAN'T. They (with some exceptions) are incapable of understanding PO.

[BlueGhost]

The three traits we should test are:

Goal setting.
Time Managment.
People skills


If you cant decide what to do, you'll might aswell not try.
If you never make time to do it you'll never get it done
There are very few tasks which require no human interaction.

IQ tests are, in my view useless as practice improves performance without improving your 'intelligence'.

That said I belive most people can learn to do anything, its just a question of nutrition and effort.
