This thread basically says most independent traders are Introverted. ISTJ myself. Which makes sense of course.. it's a one-person job. And you have to be able to cope with the lonliness factor.. or at least it shouldn't bother you to an extent.
INTP definitely here. I took the tests two years ago, but I quite sure I'm still INTP now. Software engineer.
ISFP....none of the above...although I don't think most people would consider me introverted. I think I am a closet introvert but life/circumstances have forced me to be an extrovert. Strongest category Feeling 44% the problem with this test is what you are and what you "think" you are could be very different
I did ask the person who knows me best (my husband) if he thought I was ISFP and he said yes...agreed that I'm really an introvert but stresses out trying to be more extroverted. I think being creative in options trading is a plus.
All types are good. I'm an INFP for which the right professions are anything that has to do with arts, while the bad ones are related to business and law. The key is to find an approach that makes the best use of your specific talents. Like I mentioned I few times, I trade stories.
INTP here, but the P is weak (22%), and I've tested as INTX in the past. I see a lot of confusion here regarding Jung's version of introversion/extroversion. It's important to realize that I vs. E on the MBTI differs quite a bit from the way these terms are used colliquially. In other words, MBTI I's are not always 'real' introverts at all. Perhaps the wikipedia entry can better explain what I'm trying to say: "Attitudes: Extraversion (E) / Introversion (I) The preferences for Extraversion (thus spelled in Myers-Briggs language) and Introversion are sometimes referred to as attitudes. Briggs and Myers recognized that each of the functions can show in the external world of behavior, action, people and things (extraverted attitude) or the internal world of ideas and reflection (introverted attitude). The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator sorts for an overall preference for one or the other of these. People with a preference for Extraversion draw energy from action: they tend to act, then reflect, then act further. If they are inactive, their level of energy and motivation tends to decline. Conversely, those whose preference is Introversion become less energized as they act: they prefer to reflect, then act, then reflect again. People with Introversion preferences need time out to reflect in order to rebuild energy. The Introvert's flow is directed inward toward concepts and ideas and the Extravert's is directed outward towards people and objects. There are several contrasting characteristics between Extraverts and Introverts: Extraverts desire breadth and are action-oriented, while introverts seek depth and are thought-oriented. <b>The terms Extravert and Introvert are used in a special sense when discussing the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.</b>"
INTP too, for the guy who asked if we have trouble making decisions⦠I had trouble making decisions until I found my style and made a solid plan, once I worked out the plan⦠well, the market action either fitâs a technique in the plan or it doesnât, the decisions have already been made. Most of my losers are deviations from my plan.
