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)

INTJ is very common among Anglican clergy, I'm told. Must have something to do with an affinity for cassocks!
