While reading over some blogs since the forums are quiet (and I've finished my work for the week, which is weird), I noticed that lots of folks were discussing Myers Briggs a few weeks/days ago. I've also commented time or two on what kinds of personalities are most likely to be frugies. Oh, what the heck, I took the test for the who-knows-what time.
Here's me.
***You Are An INTJ***
The Scientist
You have a head for ideas - and you are good at improving systems. Logical and strategic, you prefer for everything in your life to be organized. You tend to be a bit skeptical. You're both critical of yourself and of others. Independent and stubborn, you tend to only befriend those who are a lot like you.
You would make an excellent scientist, engineer, or programmer.

Great, I manage to take the one online test that was designed by someone who obviously knows exactly who I am.... =P
Earlier this year I read a book "Now Discover Your Strengths" which was really cool. In a nutshell: rather than trying to make up for one's faults, use your strengths to your advantage. What are my strengths? Here's the top 5, in order:
Ideation: People strong in the Ideation theme are fascinated by ideas. They are able to find connections between seemingly disparate phenomena.
Strategic: People strong in the Strategic theme create alternative ways to proceed. Faced with any given scenario, they can quickly spot the relevant patterns and issues.
Maximizer: People strong in the Maximizer theme focus on strengths as a way to stimulate personal and group excellence. They seek to transform something strong into something superb.
Learner: People strong in the Learner theme have a great desire to learn and want to continuously improve. In particular, the process of learning, rather than the outcome, excites them.
Intellection: People strong in the Intellection theme are characterized by their intellectual activity. They are introspective and appreciate intellectual discussions.
Alright, this is just getting darn right creepy....

I took this one again, and to my shock, it came back as ISTJ!
The Duty Fulfiller
You are responsible, reliable, and hardworking - you get the job done.
You prefer productive hobbies, like woodworking or knittings.
Quiet and serious, you are well prepared for whatever life hands you.
Conservative and down-to-earth, you hardly ever do anything crazy.
You would make a great business executive, accountant, or lawyer.
I don't know about knitting, but accountant or executive sounds good!
