Since a very rare few are 100% of any preference (not ideal), some of what you'll read describing your personality will not be true. Think of your % as the % of descriptions that would be true, because you are the opposite the remainder of the time!

You prefer to spend time and re-energize in your inner world of ideas and images You see the world with more emphasis on patterns and possibilities in the information you get You make decisions mostly based on personal concerns and the people involved You lead a generally structured and decided lifestyle

You are

an Idealist

by nature (your Keirseyan Temperament) has your Temperament

15% to 20% of population

Your Myers-Briggs results have the symbolic name of the

Counselor

This is a brief summary description of your Myers-Briggs results

Quietly forceful, original, and sensitive. Tend to stick to things until you are done. Extremely intuitive about people, and concerned for their feelings. Well-developed value systems which you strictly adhere to. Well-respected for your perserverence in doing the right thing. Likely to be individualistic, rather than leading or following.

Your natural personality type matches are

ENTP ENFP

Inventor Champion

Theoretically and statistically, these types get along best with yours, but this could be false with any one person of these types.

This is an enhanced Myers-Briggs test using the best questions from the most popular versions out there: Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, Keirseyan Temperament Sorters I and II and a few others. "Best" questions were determined by how well they referenced real life situations, and asked for "most likely" answers rather than "absolute" answers, as most people are not absolute or just "one way all the time" in their life styles. Questions too similar to each other were also eliminated, although some were kept as in the original tests since they do serve to test a subject's consistency in his/her answers. This test also improved on some of the questions chosen by improving readability of the questions and not allowing ties. Improved readability was achieved by using simpler language. This meant simpler words, fewer idioms or expressions with metaphors and cultural references and bias, and removal of words or idioms with positive or negative connotations. Where any such words or idioms were left for their value, alternative words accompany them to help with readability. The test came in at a lower grade reading level so those for whom English is a foreign language, or those with low literacy levels, should be able to understand the questions and answers better. This will allow more people to do the test and do it more accurately. Extreme care was taken not to alter meanings of the original questions and answer choices, unless to make the meaning clearer. Most versions of the Myers-Briggs tests allowed for "ties" on the results among the Preferences (letter codes). However, nobody is absolutely straight down the middle and it just confuses the outcome. As a result, this test has an odd number of questions for each Preference so no ties can result. The handful of extra questions added cannot skew the results to any appreciable amount.
