Taking the programmer personality test |
Apparently, this test thinks I’m an ENFJ (Extroverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging), glad to meet you. Just took this 69 question programmer personality test to see what jobs it think I’d be best suited for:
ENFJ - Teachers, consultants, psychiatrists, social workers, counselers, clergy, sales representative, human resources, managers, events coordinators, politicians, diplomats, writers, actors, designers, homemakers, musicians, religious workers, writers. They have a gift of encouraging others actualize themselves, and provide excellent leadership.
Politician, psychiatrist, clergy? No thanks.
Looking through the list of suggested employments I probably would have chose one of the others. What’s your acronym? How accurate did your test turn out?
Did this post make you go hmm?
(Hmm, no ratings yet)

I scored as INFP:
INFP - Writers, artists, counselers, social workers, English teachers, fine arts teachers, child care workers, clergy, missionaries, psychologists, psychiatrists, scientists, political activists, editors, education consultants, journalists, religious educators, social scientists.. Driven by a strong sense of personal values, they are also highly creative and can offer support from behind the scenes.
Neat

I think something in that test is screwy, it gave me nearly the exact opposite of the Myers-Briggs type I’ve had for the past six years.

Even though I’m not a programmer, I took the test anyway, it still works.
I came up an ENFP (Extroverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving).
Out of the sixteen personality types in the systems based on C. G. Jung’s theories of psychological types, the test pegged me as the very type I would consider most personally flattering (we ‘typically’ are actors, journalists, writers, musicians, painters,…artists. Creative and fun-loving…I’ll go with that.)
I’ve always been sceptical of tests like this, especially when they get into the nether regions of psycho-jargon, but I was surprised by how accurately the results reflected my sense of self.

[…] According to this test for programmer personality (thanks, TDavid), I’m an ENTP (Extroverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving). “Very freedom-oriented, they need a career which allows them to act independent and express their creativity and insight.” Sounds about right, FWIW. […]
