Personality types - Will banking be your career?

I came across this personality test that analyzes your personality and let's you know who has similar personality types to you. It's 70 Y/N questions. Who do you all match with? What are your thoughts on the results?

P.S. Mine included J.P. Morgan and Warren Buffett. Hopefully I can channel my personality into a successful investment career.

My celebrity types included Agusto Pinochet and Saddam Hussein. Hopefully I can channel my personality into a successful career in non-democratic leadership.

"Yes. Money has been a little bit tight lately, but at the end of my life, when I'm sitting on my yacht, am I gonna be thinking about how much money I have? No. I'm gonna be thinking about how many friends I have and my children and my comedy albums."
 

ENTJ - The Executive. I have done this Briggs-Myers test numerous times in college and since. I have always scored ENT-; I think twice I showed a slight edge towards ENTP (must have been in a funny mood that day), but I'm most frequently ENTJ.

Caesar, Thatcher, Aristotle, Karl Rove, Alexander Hamilton, Gates, Sagan, Peter Thiel, Jack Welch. I'll take it.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
 

I'm right on the borderline between INTJ and ENTJ. These include Friedrich Nietzche, Aristotle, Isaac Newton, Bill Gates, as well as Ted Kaczynski and Joseph Stalin.

It also says INTJ is "Strongly linked to the Narcissistic personality". lol

 

ESFJ- Cindy Crawford, Martha Stewart, Bill Clinton and Frank Sinatra.....career suggestions include 'fashion merchandising'......

 

ENTJ -- Napoleon, Caesar, Margaret Thatcher, Bill Gates, Carl Sagan, Alexander Hamilton, Nancy fucking Pelosi Destined for greatness. I can just see it now.

Currently: future neurologist, current psychotherapist Previously: investor relations (top consulting firm), M&A consulting (Big 4), M&A banking (MM)
 

These tests could be boiled down to like six questions. And who sat down with Karl Marx and took a detailed inventory of his personality to compare with? Why do people take this seriously again?

Let's take a silly questionnaire and pretend that we all have the makings of famous people.

Can vouch for this considering what even my closest friends tell me. haha

 

INTP - completely dominate their sphere of influence, even if invisibly. Sweet. I'll take it.

More seriously, successful personality type = opportunistic, works a lot, isn't stupid

It is of interest to note that while some dolphins are reported to have learned English -- up to fifty words used in correct context -- no human being has been reported to have learned dolphinese.
