[IxDA Discuss] What's your Personality Type? (Related to: Now Hiring Leonardo DaVinci?)

[Chris McLay]

- What is your type?

INFJ / INTJ


- What is your occupation? (Please be as specific as possible.)

Interaction & Visual Designer - Student - Parent



- How does knowledge of your type impact your thoughts about your  
career, design, other people, and yourself - as a designer and as a  
person?

It rarely crosses my mind. I hate taking the tests as I'm sure they  
are rarely interpreted correctly by those who ask for them.



- What was your experience when you learned your type? Was it  
meaningful to you?

I'm not sure I learned anything new. It was like reading something  
familiar. Mind you I had been working for a while and have a pretty  
good idea of who I am by the time I first took the test.



- Has personality type ever played a role in your research or designs?

No. Don't really trust them enough. Prefer to work other ways.



- If you are outside the US, is there different or additional test  
that is prominently used?

Australia. Not in my experience - but we are almost the US anyway :-)
