Permalink Reply by michele ricketts on September 21, 2012 at 11:32am I did not find this article useful. Alot n/a to personality and I find the careers listed are all to do with the left side of the brain which is absurd; plenty of INTJ are are right-brain mooners and involved in the Arts.
right - that's why I said it is generalized
Michele I actually do creative things like oil painting and making bead necklaces, etc. So I understand that the generalization is not correct. Those tests are mostly just guidelines because each person is unique and cannot be totally described by a test alone.
