The results surprised me a little. I thought I was more of a thinker and much less intuitive.

I've taken this test a few times before.. even had an FBI agent friend of mine administer the official G-man version of it once. It always comes up the same; INTJ.

 

At Thanksgiving Mom was doing her annual boohooing about not having any grandkids. I told her it was her own fault for raising 3 of 4 kids to be INTJs. What are the odds of that?

 

From your link:

[iNTJs] are rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population

Interesting, I'm INTJ as well, though more on the borderline side of Introverted.

I wonder whether certain personality types tend to have particular common obstacles to overcome in their trading careers or whether certain personalities are more suited to particular approaches?

 

I should mention that I got the link from an outfit called Willmot a quantitative finance portal. (not sure how I got on there mailing list). They are asking their members to fill in a form on their site to get an idea of personality types amongst quants.

I am INTP - Intoverted Intuitive Thinking Percieving

 

When I click the type description by Dr. Keirsey he explains it on an example of architect. Funny because I have a master degree in civil engineering and studied architecture, too. I worked in building planning company for 3 years. Sometimes when I am desperate in my strategy development I think I should have stayed with that job. Now I have another argument for it

I cannot imagine an extrovert daytrading. One of the great joys of trading is that I don't have to screw with anybody! No managers, no employees. Just me and the cat, sipping hot chocolate and doing battle with the forces of darkness that want to take my money.

lol that cracked me up, i feel the same way...but with a dalmatian.

 

Anyways I'm an INTJ. I've taken this test a few times in my life and I've gotten different results a few times. I was an ENTP first, than an INTP, now I guess im an INTJ. I think it has to do with what im involved in at the time, now of course is trading, hence the J which I think lends itself to the analytical, methodical part of my i have developed for trading.

I cannot imagine an extrovert daytrading. -snip-

 

It occurred to me that this is not a particular desirable trait for a trader

Whatever your type is the important thing is to know how to spot your weaknesses and overcome them. As an example I have CNBC (Noise) on in the background, I also talk on the phone with other traders looking for setups, After exiting a trade I walk away from the computer and talk wit hmy lovely wife.

 

Being a certain tyype doesnt exclude you from trading, when someone does nothing to adjust for it that is where the problem is.
