OT Thanks for posting your results of both tests. It does cast some doubt on how closely the Kingdoms test mimics the Myers Briggs. On the Kingdoms test, we are both White Knights. On the Kiersey we are total opposites-- ESTP vs. INFJ. When I took the Kingdoms test the similarity of the description of the White Knight and the INFJ was apparent to me. Kiersey has also called INFJ the "Joan of Arc" personality--- far different from the ESTP. I guess I would have to concur that the Kingdom's test, and even the Kiersey on-line version, have some glaring weaknesses that make them more like party games than valid tests. The real value in the Myers Briggs and the paper version of the Kiersey, is that you can see what the ratio of your choices for N vs. S, T vs. F, etc are. Without the numbers, and without contemplating what those particular choices show about the way you prefer to do things and how that affects how you interact with people with other preferences, the descriptions are little more than horoscopes. BTW before my last post I did try to make a guess about your Myers Briggs type but decided I really couldn't go that far out on a limb and guess--- inspite of your posts having a lot of personality, I couldn't see strong signs of preference between N vs. S or T vs. F. Obviously we are getting far off topic from Gorilla Gaming. However, I think this thread is a very interesting group with far more group cohesion than your typical thread. (I don't agree with the criticism I have seen a few times here that it is too much like a "country club.") I see I am not the only one that has found it interesting to think about how this thread operates as a group of interesting people. Susan
