No WAY! I wonder if there's a correlation between atheism and INTJ personality? It's one of the rarest personality types and it's statistically higher on this forum. I've taken MB's multiple times and I've always gotten INTJ. Hah... this is awesome. *waves at all the other INTJs*

Quote from: "ForTheLoveOfAll"Fun as these tests are, I don't really understand why someone would need to take a test to figure out who they are, what they're like, etc.

Either way, this one looks interesting. I'll probably do it later when I get time.


The test is primarily used by employers to seek out desired traits for specialized jobs. It's also used as a tool to help others better grasp why people act the way they do. It's less about people figuring out who they are and more about understanding the personality differences between people.

INTJ. How about that.

Edit: Looking at my preferred careers â€" computer programming, natural science, natural science education, engineering, management, entrepreneurship, law, librarian.

I'm actually a graphic designer / illustrator.

To give you a characteristically INTP response: the correlation might not be with atheists so much as with people who go on debating forums. INTPs and INTJs, though both extremely rare in the overall population, both love a good debate, which would explain our relative commonality in places like this.

@Melmoth- That makes absolute sense.

I think I did the test wrong.
