Experiment: Typical Tolkien Fan
Hey... I got an idea for an experiment to conduct regarding the typical Tolkien fan personality. Please take this test:
http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp There are 4 main personality types, Artisan, Rational, Guardian, and Idealist, and then there are 4 more specific types for each of the main categories. Post your 4-initial personality type here. I'm trying to see if there is a more typical personality type that likes Tolkien. Maybe we should make the people in the actual lotr board aware of this, as soem of the best Tolkien fans go there and not here... I will start by saying I am an INTP Oh and when you're done, go here to read more about your personality type.

Boy, I find my results depressing. I'm an INTJ.
Introvert - 78 Intuitive -- 33 Thinking -- 22 Judging --- 1 At least I'm glad that I'm not the most introverted here

Your Type is
ISTP Introverted Sensing Thinking Perceiving Strength of the preferences % 56 1 89 22 Qualitative analysis of your type formula _You are: moderately expressed introvert slightly expressed sensing personality very expressed thinking personality slightly expressed perceiving personality Portrait of the Crafter (iStP)_ "Top Gun"_ or "The Virtuoso" Copyrighted © 1996-1999 Prometheus Nemesis Book Company. The Crafter Artisans are not only concrete in speech and utilitarian in getting things done, they are also directive and attentive in their social roles. Though directive like their Promoter counterparts, their directiveness is leavened by a good deal of attentiveness and seclusiveness. They do not approach strangers readily, but once in contact do not hesitate to tell them what to do. And they can be quite forceful in this, such that others tend to do their bidding. Like the other Artisans, Crafters live a life is artful action, but their particular nature is most easily seen in their mastery of tools of any and all kinds, from microscopic drill to supersonic jet, from potter's wheel to grand piano. A tool is any implement that extends or varies our human powers_ -- vehicles, musical instruments, cutting devices, and weapons are just four of the many categories of the tools that surround us. Most of us use tools in some capacity, of course, but Crafters (only ten per cent of the general population) are the true virtuosos of tool work, with a natural ability to command tools, to bend them to their wishes, and to become adept at all the crafts requiring tool skills. Even from an early age Crafters are drawn to tools as to a magnet; tools fall into their hands demanding use, and they must manipulate them. Indeed, if a given tool, whether scalpel or earthmover, is operated with a precision that defies belief, that operator is likely an Crafter.

Jonathan, you are a Mastermind. Last time I did this I got Mastermind as well. I don't put much stock into these tests, cos it really depends on what mood you're in when you do them.

well yes BOP but this is a bit of an approximate experiment... I have taken the test and I get either ISTP or INTP, so there are some variations, but I'm definately expecting there to be more I--- tolkienites, atleast
and jesus freak, the results are not "good" or "bad", it's just a calculation of your personality/temperament based on the answers you gave.

I agree with you about the reliability of these kinds of tests. If I was in another mood, I would have answered differently on many of the questions. But it's nice being a Mastermind for today

yeah, and that's the hard part... the part that makes it inaccurate. There are probably a few sets of results that a person could vary between, depending on how they answered the questions they're not sure about or what mood they're in, but I mean, I doubt that the same person could answer honestly and achieve totally opposite results, so for an approximate evaluation...
I am glad for all of the replies/attention this thread has gotten (even if half the posts are mine, lol, sorry, I talk a lot sometimes)

That says that I am a "The Healer". "Healers" make up one percent of the total population and I live in fairy-tale land. Well, they didn't use those exact words but pretty much
Oh yes: I am a swan in a family of ducks. That is why I had an unhappy childhood.
