Warren Buffet is also an ISTJ, but I think your investing styles are very different (chartist against the value investor.... with the same type )

Re: Myers Briggs personality type

Going by Tharp's comments, I think the following types would be best suited to trading...

ENFJ
INFJ
ENTJ
INTJ

I/E - Not important
N - Most of the successful traders interviewed by Tharp had an intuitive leaning
F/T - Balanced, so weak in either
J - Decisiveness is important to trading, but I'm sure it can be developed if you have done the theory and planning. Ps may take longer to develop a plan

Heheh, I'm INTJ too - I remember the report stated I would most likely favour IT or engineering, so it got that bit right! Worked at a place once that did the test, ended up causing more trouble than good. Rather than try to help people understand why there was conflict between teams, it made the whole place even more secretive / divided.

I remember we had a bloke come to work to give a course in "how to increase results" , - he said "for a start pls turn off mobile phones". I said I was expecting a phonecall - order for $500K - and that I'd like to keep it on. He said "turn it off!" I said - "adios, and lol , your course is ... a nonsense" (paraphrased)
These tests are fun, but I've got this feeling that Mother Theresa and the Godfather could easily end up in the same score.
