Do you think it is possible for your type to change? I've taken two different forms of the test (neither of which the real form)two times each and it tells me I am INFJ each time. But I was ISFJ before I came to Russia! Anyway, I'm going to go stalk your type now. :-)
Well, the indicator test is based off of Carl Jung's personality theory - which basically states that personality is inborn and doesn't change over time.
Myers & Myers-Briggs spent over 50 years testing their indicator in order to see if it could measure the personality of the same person over that amount of time - and they essentially agreed with Jung that personality doesn't change over one's lifetime.
However, the last time I took this test (which was in 8th grade), I was an E. But I also think that I know myself a lot better now and I don't necessarily think my personality has changed, but my perception and understanding of myself has.

Jake took this week... He's ESTJ. :) I think we decided based on the options that I'm EIFP. So, basically your opposite. :)
Yes! ISTJ POWER! You and Matt and I should form a club. We'll all be super-organized and punctual and none of us will talk very much. :)
