    Anyone here know their Myers Briggs personality type? I ask because these can be really helpful in terms of understanding your user base, your fellow staff, and yourself!

    I'm an INFP. My administrative style is usually quite laid back, until I feel one of my values has been violated, and then I become unusually strict. I much prefer web design over programming/development, and I like to be friends with our members :) I also avoid conflict at all costs.

    What is your type, and what are you like as an admin? If you don't know your type, here's a 2 minute test:

    I made this thread on our forum, and it really took off:

    I thought it was fascinating to see so many INFP's and INFJ's in one place (together, they make up 4% of the world's population - but at least 30+% of our forum's population!) Granted, a vBulletin poll probably isn't exactly statistically sound :)

    I also like to see what all of our admins / mods are, because it helps me a lot with conflict management.

    Interesting, I'm going to take this test and will get back with my feedback and input on this topic :)

    Apparently, I am an idealist - INFP....just like Luke Skywalker.

    Pretty spot on for me and I usually don't take much stock in these type of things.
