Re: Myers Briggs personality type

ISTJ... 3rd time!

Your in pretty good company Nick, according to this

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

I read the ISTJ profile before and certainly saw many similarities between it and the impression I have of Nick.

I just found some articles Van Tharp has written on personality types and trading... just started reading.

Interesting test. Completed the test twice and scored INTJ twice, the second test showing the following strength of preferences. Interesting to note that INTJs seem to be prevalent on the board.

Your Type is
INTJ

Introverted Intuitive Thinking Judging
Strength of the preferences %
22 75 88 22

INTJ type description by D.Keirsey
INTJ type description by J. Butt and M.M. Heiss


Qualitative analysis of your type formula

You are:

* slightly expressed introvert
* distinctively expressed intuitive personality
* very expressed thinking personality
* slightly expressed judging personality

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.

Wow, INTJ are supposed to be less than like 2pc of the population ! Seems INTJ is over represented in the Trading community ? Well so far anyways ...
