What is the personality of a SciFi lover?
I wonder, do people who like scifi/fantasy trend towards different personality types than the average population? Post you Jung-Myers-Briggs personality type if you know it. If you don't, take a test and find out:

You can find out what it means by googling your 4-letter type. Here are some sites that explain it:

I'm an INTJ. What are You?:)

1. I'm an INFJ
And the F was almost neutral. I think that means I'm just like you except slightly less stable :D .

5. weird
ENTP, but the E was only 1%. Inventor Rational, apparently, even though I'm not very creative.

6. Interesting...so far, we're all "N" 's
from : http://www.geocities.com/lifexplore/mbintro.htm

"Are you a Sensor or an iNtuitive? Is your day mostly spent attending to reality, and understanding the facts (Sensor)? Or do you usually dream, theorize, compose, see symbolism, and walk the inner mind landscape (iNtuitive)?"

9. INTP. Or INFP. Depends on my mood. AWESOME LINKS, I must say too!
Especially the test. A couple years back I bought a book and contemplated writing my own CGI-based site. Never went through with it.

10. ENTP this time
It has varied in the past, but ENTP is my categorization about half the time.


And yeah - what's up with all of us being "N"? Is that a factor of internetish-ness or of liking science fiction?

17. I'm usually an ENTP.
Today, I tested ENTJ.

Happens sometimes. I also test INTP on very very rare occasions, when I'm feeling antisocial.

The N and the T never ever change.

11. Depends on my life at the moment.
I typically test INTP with the E/I very close together and the F/T very close together.

As I've gotten older I've come to the conclusion I like three kinds of speculative fiction... the epic fantasy, the hard-science space opera and Harlan Ellision.
