Time to fly!
Just curious if there is a personality type among pilots (at least those here) which is more common than others. I'm really interested to see if there is a plurality of one type.

Here's the link.

FWIW, I'm a INTJ.

Poll coming. The poll is private in nature unless you wish to comment.

Hmm... I've taken similar tests a number of times an I sometimes come out differently, although I'm always an I and a T. I guess I see why.

Of the four people mentioned under famous people (Charles Bronson, Amelia Earhart, John Glenn, Clint Eastwood) I know at least three were pilots. I don't know about Charles Bronson.

I didn't take the profile test today but from previous tests I'm ENTP or INTP (split about 50/50).

Edit, I took this version of the test and scored ENTP:

  • distinctively expressed extravert
  • distinctively expressed intuitive personality
  • moderately expressed thinking personality
  • slightly expressed perceiving personality
I'm suprised that the P is "slightly expressed" that one usually comes out the strongest along with the I and the E is usually much weaker. I don't know if this is a bias in this particular test or if my personality is changing. I suspect the E/I variation is due to the fact that many of the related questions offer no choices I really agree with and the variation could be simply the result of my choosing more bad choices on one side.

I don't think it's supposed to add up to 100%. The bigger your percentage, the stronger you are in that characteristic.

Shall we start calling Clint Eastwood "Sybil" since he apparently has more than one personality type?

Exactly. We all have traits from each style. The percentage is a relative number to the strength of that trait.

It's not supposed to add up to anything. Each percentage (or percentile, I can't tell which) represents how far you lean towards a particular trait. IOW the test says you are 56% Introverted vs Extroverted. 0% would mean your answers were equally split between the two, 100% would mean you answered every related question on the Introverted side. Each percentage applies only to the two opposing traits E/I, S/N, F/T, P/J.
 
What does it mean if I got bored and didn't finish the test?

Too bad the survey can't be taken posthumously. It would be interesting to see the personality types of expired pilots compared to live pilots. Kind of like the old saying, "There are old pilots, and bold pilots, but no old, bold pilots."

Amelia Earhart, an ISTP like me is dead, or so they think. I guess that doesn't bode well for me... :dunno:
 
I'm an INTJ too.

Down at Compaq in Austin, people had M/B types listed on their door plates - they found that it helped folks to communicate better.

I found it useful - As a "J" working for a "P" I was always uncomfortable with a decision being unmade, and the boss was uncomfortable making a decision until the last minute. Knowing that it was just "the way he is" kept me from killing him.
 
is "abrasive" a ppossible test result?

One could argue that the FMS you use is vastly superior to a hung-over Fred Noonan and his sextant, along with their apparently lacking understanding of the LF transmitter and receiver...

I did see a site a while back that showed Lockheed's engineering data with respect to fuel consumption and cruise speeds on Earhart's 10B (10E?), and it was a little sparse - really fascinating stuff, though.

ISTP. I've taken this test before. I was ISTP for that one as well.

I came out ENTP on the alternate test. According to that site my optimal career choices are:

"dictator, computer consultant, international spy, tv producer, philosopher, comedian, music performer, it consultant, fighter pilot, politician, diplomat, entertainer, game designer, bar owner, freelance writer, creative director, strategist, news anchor, professional skateboarder, airline pilot, comic book artist, college professor, private detective, mechanical engineer, lecturer, ambassador, astronomer, research scientist, judge, web developer, scholar, fbi agent, cia agent, electrical engineer, assassin"

I wonder what my opportunities would be as dictator?
 
Just for kicks I did the test then I had someone who knew me well do the test, as they felt the answers should applied to me.
If my test results are vastly different than the one done 'with me in mind' by another, does that mean they don't know me, that I don't know myself......or just that I am a master of personality disguise?

ESTJ, 11, 1, 50, 1.

Careers indicated: Business Management (BTDT), Education management, military education, politics, Engineering (what I went to school for!), High School education, Information Systems Specialist (BTDT too), Law (I've thought about it), or Counseling.

Famous people of my type: Bruce Willis, Sandra Day O'Connor, Mark Anthony, and... Oh my... George W. Bush. :rofl:
 
INFJ for me, based, apparently, on only 50% "Intuitive" and far lower in the other areas. I definitely shift modes, so to speak... I'm surprised there wasn't a question about that. :D
Apparently, INFJs are ideally suited to be counselors, but I've found most people don't listen to me when I advise them (although they often ask me things like "what's the speed of light again?"):D

This explains alot. I've always though u people don't make sense.

To complicate matters, INTJs are usually extremely private people, and can often be naturally impassive as well, which makes them easy to misread and misunderstand. Perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that INTJs really want people to make sense.
