This might not be such a well-known trait, but I am obsessed with personality books, or self-help books, or relationship advice books, or any other book that gives me some sort of insight as to why I do what I do and how I can be better. Even though I believe firmly that the Bible is sufficient to glean all the information that we need to live a spiritually-sound life of service for God, I also like hearing other people's ideas about how our ever-changing society affects our behavior.
When I was an intern for Savannah Magazine, this link was emailed to all of the staff so that we could all have a better understanding of how each other works and why we value what it is that we value. I happen to be a INTJ (a "mastermind" personality type), which is less than 1% of the population, according to this Web site. It says that I value logic and efficiency. Let me know what you are and tell me if this is representative of you.

I am an INTJ: Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging.
I guess this is pretty dead on. I always look before I leap. I don't like to be the center of attention. Blah, blah. Tell me something I don't know.
I always hate when these tests get me so right. How do they know? How can you pigeon hole a person so easily? I always wish I was the opposite of what I am: outgoing and daring. Alas.
Kirsten, I can't believe that we are the same personality type! That is so funny!
I agree. I love these. It reminds me of one of my favorite books: Now, Discover Your Strengths.
I am a INFJ, and I proudly walk into camp w/ Brandi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Ghandi.
I think these quizzes know me better than myself. It really makes you think about the progress that has been made in mapping the human psyche.
Okay, so a few days ago, I was a Counselor. Now I'm a Mastermind (INTJ). Just goes to prove my theory about the multiple personalities throwing a party inside my head. Hopefully, it's just because I'm switching from interviewer mode to teacher mode. I think I'll be an extrovert tomorrow.
I'm an INTP. Funny how we're all Introverts so far.

Um, not sure why/how that comment of mine posted twice. Oops.
