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

[Dante Murphy]

- What is your type?

ENFJ
41 / 76 / 52 / 41

So, apparently only the "N" is a statistically significant tendency.

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

Principal IA / Manager

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

I never think about it.  A disciplined designer knows how to account for
bias at a "line item level", so being aware of MBTI type isn't
particularly useful.

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

The first time I took the MBTI test I worked for a woman who was
parametrically opposite of my rating at the time (which I don't recall).
It confirmed the fact that we worked well together because of how
different we were and because we were able to respect each other's
views, even when it took conscious effort to do so.

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

Not sure how it could without severely impacting the research
environment.
