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

[Jason Perez]

- What is your type?
INFP (70% 76% 52% 88%)

- What is your occupation? (Please be as specific as possible.)
Business Systems Analyst - Requirements activites, IA, Interface Design...
for various types of projects [Business Process Improvement, Internal
Development, COTS implementation]

I have always had an over-active imagination so when I started off in
college I thought I could leverage that by working towards graphic design
degree. I was young and impatient and the structure drove me bonkers. I
turned to fine arts - illustration... even that had structure. Then I met a
girl -> love -> talk of marriage -> better get a career going that has "pay
the bills" potential. I got a Business Adminstration degree and stumbled
upon a few IT roles. Somehow a few years ago I fell into this fuzzy space
call Business Analysis. I liked the lack of structure and the creative
freedom. Standards have since come into play, but now they're welcomed.
Recently I have been trying to get more involved in IA and IxD activities
and now it feels like I have come full circle from where I started off...
but somehow money made its way into the equation. Yay!

I have taken this the MB test at various stages in my life and initially I
couldn't get good results because I would know the purpose of the test and
therefore I would try to analyze each question knowing it's goal was to make
a statement about me that I didn't care to know so I just shaped it to be
something I wanted. But looking back at things, here's what I've noticed:

I = 70%. This used to be higher but it is definately trending down as my
passion for what I do, and my confidence, increases.
N = 76%. Least amount of variance through the years.
F = 52%. Sometimes I'm a T , other times an F...
P = 88%. My natural tendency, but at work I have had to play a J role many
times... *blech*.
