The MyersBriggs personality test classifies people (roughly) into to the following types:
What are the funny letters? Each of the 4 letters in your acronym shows your preference along one of the following four dimensions:
E/I = Extrovert / Introvert
(E reenergizes from being around people, I from being away from people)
S/N = Sensation / iNtuition ("I" was taken, so they use "N")
(S wants concrete, 'now' relevance, N likes abstraction)
(S watches things external, N looks inward)
T/F = Thinking / Feeling
(T values rules, F values relationships)
J/P = Judging / Perceiving - the mode of thought used first
(J likes to have decision made, P likes to defer decision making)
(J uses T or F first, P uses S or N first)
Temperaments:
SJ (Sensation+Judging) - "The Guardians" (Security Seeking)
SP (Sensation+Perceiving) - "The Artisans" (Sensation Seeking)
NT (iNtuition+Thinking) - "The Rationals" (Knowledge Seeking)
NF (iNtuition+Feeling) - "The Idealists" (Identity Seeking)

My husband took a class at work once, where they shorthanded the four major divisions as follows:
*SJ is Capt. Kirk
*SP is Scotty
*NT is Mr. Spock
*NF is Bones
Works for me. --KGrace
Oh, I almost forgot. It was at IBM, and something like 70% of the class tested NT. Big surprise!
