armbApparently I'm Lord Voldemort. The number of questions I wanted to answer "well both, obviously" or "how can I possibly tell without knowing <X>" reminded why I generally don't bother with these things even when they appear in various friends lists, but I imagine Voldemort might well feel the same.
Harry Potter Personality Quiz by Pirate Monkeys Inc.
As far as I remember I came out as INTP when I did one of these things seriously at a previous job. I asked the people adminstrating it (who marketed themselves as professional business psychologists) what the error bars on the scores they came up with were. I then had to explain the concept of error bars to them. They came up with a number that meant most of the scores on their plot could easily be on the wrong side of the dividing line between the categories they were dividing people into. I commented that we had a number of roleplaying gamers in the company and it would be interesting to give out multiple copies of the questionaire and see how many people could get all 16 results. They laughed nervously and changed the subject.
Oh, the "box of me" thing - 12 photos of my bookshelves, including the ones with wedding photos and photos of my children on, probably.
