Just for the record

The personality type meme that is going around? Most people I know have mentioned getting different results than what they have gotten in the past from a true Myers-Briggs test. This suggests to me that this meme is an unreliable knock-off. I wouldn't go looking for any significant information from this meme.

Just sayin'.

Just to continue in my role as a skeptic:

There's a lot of criticism in regards to the whole Myers-Briggs test having any validity to begin with.

I first learned four years ago that the creators weren't even psychologists.

And don't get me started on the Kinsey research . . . (unrelated to this)

I can't imagine anyone is taking it seriously. Although my results line up with every billion-question "official" version of the test I've taken, so YMMV.

I don't think anybody is taking it seriously - it's an internet meme, they're not exactly relevant information!

It gave me the same result I always get. Despite the fresh approach to the questions. The truly flakey part, I think, is the sort of horoscope reading at the end.
