My LJ bio. does point out that in an ideal world I'd be the (benevolent - optional) dictator of a small city state - I can certainly see the attraction of power, even in in this world I lack the motivation to acquire it!
I can well believe that INTJs have an affinity for cassocks. I do actually think that doing the test properly (which is about 200 questions, not 10, and much, much subtler, with no obvious way to twist it) can be a very worthwhile exercise. I might be influenced by the fact that having done it a couple of times, I always come out the same, and that the more detailed description of the 'type' I read, the more like me it is in pretty much every way. Not perhaps useful in a mundanely practical sense, but I've found it genuinely valuable in other ways.
(And I speak as someone who generally considers 'personality questionnaires' and types utter nonsense)

Date: 2006-06-28 09:03 am (UTC)I've come out as INTJ before, but I've never done a proper version of the test, so I'm not sure what I 'actually' am.
INTJ is very common among Anglican clergy, I'm told. Must have something to do with an affinity for cassocks!
