I am a consultant IA that specializes in search optimization and stand
firmly with the person who said Jungian analysis is a little suspect. :)
Fascinating exercise. Many thanks for initiating.

The quick two:
- What is your type?

According to the test I just took, to which you linked, I'm an ENFP, about
2/3rds toward extrovert and hovering right around the middle on the other
three axes. 

I'm quite sure in the past, though, that I've come up an I, a T, and a J. I
think I'm always an N. My problem with this system is that the questions are
all dichotomies without context, sometimes false dichotomies, and I often
could choose either answer. The other problem I have is that I think
sometimes we answer with a self-assessment and other times with a wish about
who we were.


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

Web strategy consultant, specializing in information architecture and
interaction design.



If you're willing to write more:
- How does knowledge of your type impact your thoughts about your 
career, design, other people, and yourself - as a designer and as a 
person?

Not at all, as I don't really trust the scheme.


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

Not really.


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

No.
