Myers-Briggs and Organization

While it would be ten times easier to take the damn Myers-Briggs quiz (it’s a quiz, right?) and definitively get my type, it is a lot more fun to look at Myers-Briggs types in action and try to reverse engineer my category.  I have determined, once and for all, that I am an INTJ based on how I organize myself.

Basecamp?  Yes, I love Basecamp (though Trello and Slack in combination with Google Docs are close seconds).  I love any organizational hub where I can colour-coordinate items and tag people.  And notifications make me so happy.  I put two notifications on every meeting — one fifteen minutes before and one five minutes before.  I’m smiling just writing that.

I can eliminate INFJ at this point.  I don’t need to be motivated to complete tasks.  Crossing them off my to do list is enough of a motivator.  But ISTJ… wow.  That sounds like me, too.  I love spreadsheets.  Like love them with all my heart.  A colour-coordinated spreadsheet… I would have married one if Josh hadn’t gotten to me first.

I can’t tell if I was more interested in the Myers-Briggs element of the article or the fact that we were talking about organizational stuff.

So does your Myers-Briggs type match with how you organized yourself?  Or are you able to reverse engineer your category at this point?
