MBTI profiles of game creators?

Hello everyone! I recently stumbled on a free popular personality test online: the Myers Briggs personality test! Now I know it might not be hard science and might not be a perfect test, but it's still very fun and to a degree correct. I think it can grasp the general personality of someone, provided they be honest when answering the test. I'm an INTJ by far (all 4 categories are over 75 points), and I thought it would be nice to see what's the profile of game creators. Even though INTJ are just 2% of the population, I'm sure it's much more prevalent in the game making industry. So what is your personality profile? The test is about 5 to 10 minutes. It basically gives you 100 statements, and you have to say either you agree or not on a little scale of 1 to 6. You can take the test for free here: https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test For those of you that don't know the test, it categorizes people in 16 personality archetypes. Each category is formed by 4 letters, each representing a binary characteristics: (click on the spoiler tag to read) Spoiler 1) The first letter is between I and E: I is for introverts and E is for extroverts. This is a pretty straightforward category. 2) The second letter is between N and S: N (intuition) is for people that likes to see the world in an abstract way, usually more creative, looks for patterns, love dreaming, etc. S (sensor) is for people that likes to see the world for what it is. They are usually more fact driven, prefer to have realistic objectives, etc. 3) The third letter is between T and F: T is for thinking and F is for feeling. Now, it's not what it may seem like. People that are T still have feelings and people that are F still have logical and rational thoughts. See it like this: if they had to choose, T people would prefer expressing their opinion and beliefs to others EVEN if they know that it might hurt their feelings. They prefer the truth to harmony. F people are the opposite: they prefer keeping to themselves their thoughts to prevent harming others' feelings. They prefer the harmony of the group over the expressing themselves. 4) the fourth letter is between J and P: To put it simply, J (judging) people abide by the philosophy "to achieve a goal, make yourself a plan and stick to it" while P (prospecting) people abide by the philosophy "better keep your options open since they're might be a better way".

Like Castlevania's version of Dracula then. :D He's a misunderstood guy with a refined taste.

Main differences between J and P types are:

J prefer structure and plans, P prefer to improvise and do things on a whim.
J like to finalize decisions early, while P prefer to keep options open till the last moment.
J prefer to stick to one task at a time in a linear fashion and to start a new one only after the first is finished, while P prefer to tackle multiple tasks at once, going back and forth between them at will.

Everyone has both J and P functions, but some are more prevailing. J functions are decision-making ones, so that's T and F, whereas P functions are information gathering and processing ones, so N and S. We use all of them - we use T, F, N, and S. But one from each category prevails, and that's the one that shows up in our 4-letter name of the personality. So an INTJ, for example, mainly uses N and T, and to a lesser degree F and S. They're not missing, rather just not preferred.

In fact, each of the functions (T, F, S, and N) has 2 versions, an introverted and an extroverted one, and thus we get 8 cognitive functions. :)

I remember someone on personality cafe making a good case for Toby Fox being INTP. I can try finding the thread if anyone is interested.

Not a game creator, but a creator nonetheless: Kubo Tite is probably an ESFP.

By the way, based on functions, I am ISFP myself.

I can't believe this conversation goes back as recently as March 2022. I may as well add one more comment. MBTI is interesting and all, but it's talked about quite a lot everywhere, even when you're not expecting it to show up. I'm not trying to put this thread down by the way, just saying there are other things out there. This topic has opened up a lot of possibilities now, like different personality tests and horoscopes.

Personally I think humans are too complicated to label a single thing, but I guess since people think it's fun we do it anyway. I am an INFJ-T. Thankfully we're not so rare after all. ENTJ is the new rarest one apparently. They are the action takers of the world and you will find quite a lot of the time they are at high positions of power (so like a boss, manager or director).
