The "Real" Myers-Briggs Personality Type

I've taken the online Myers-Briggs test a number of times over the years. I always score as Introvert, and usually score as Judging. The middle two change depending on mood, circumstances and how much coffee I've had.

Most interpretations of the personality types put the best possible slant on one's score, and say sappy sentimental stuff like:

"The primary desire of the Protector Guardian is to be of service to others, but here "service" means not so much furnishing others with the necessities of life (the Provider's concern), as guarding others against life's pitfalls and perils, that is, seeing to their safety and security. There is a large proportion of Protectors in the population, perhaps as much as ten percent. And a good thing, because they are steadfast in their protecting, and seem fulfilled in the degree they can insure the safekeeping of those in their family, their circle of friends, or their place of business."

bunrab found a nifty site which reveals the REAL motivations and traits of each personality type. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you The "Real" Myers-Briggs Personality Type.
