I don't know for certain what value there is in knowing what "personality type" you are. Everyone is an individual, after all. You may decide there is no value in it for you at all. However, I have learned a few things that help me understand how I approach the world, and the ways my approach is lacking, by applying the knowledge gained by taking the tests and reading about the results.
I am an "INTP". Also known as the "rational architect". As usual, I am a rare type of critter.
Mostly, my personality type has served me well. I really enjoy thinking and plotting- um, "planning". I can hardly imagine being some other way, although I do feel the past several years have allowed me to stretch my boundaries a little. And shown me where I need to change.
I need a little more of whatever trait it is that would help me make money. All my life that has been the toughest thing for me. If I enjoy it and I'm good at it, it's practically guaranteed to not be popular enough to lead to financial success (and by "success" I don't mean "get rich", I mean "allows me to make enough to eat and pay some basic bills").
My other difficulty has been maintaining intimate relationships. I'm not "cold", I'm just difficult and different. (And the lack of money has always been a stumbling block in that area, too.) I'm hoping I am softening up where I need to and becoming more approachable and "relatable" now.
Understanding the INTP traits has allowed me to see how I interact with others in all aspects of life, and shows where I need to focus some attention and put forth some effort. I am trying to accentuate the positive traits and minimize the negative ones.
I also wonder if it might be part of the reason I have always been drawn to "rules, not Rulers". After all, one of those pages above states "Authority derived from office, credential, or celebrity does not impress them. " You've got that right. Expertise impresses me, position is meaningless without it. And, if your expertise is in coercing the innocent, you don't "impress me" in a good way- but you do make an impression. You expose yourself as someone to watch when TSHTF, in case self defense (and defense of the innocent) becomes a more critical necessity.
But, then, I also feel pity for those cursed with a personality type (along with other traits they may have no control over) which draws them toward coercive "jobs". What if that were me?
(Writing this post, and doing what I always do when I write, amused me this time as I struggled to make certain each and every word was just the exact word I meant to use. Just as the INTP profile says "rational architects" are wont to do. Which is also why the editing of my newspaper columns gives me heartburn.)
