If you search for Myers Briggs personality test, you'll find a lot.

I tried 2 of the first few search results, and this one:
http://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test
was the best -- it matched what I got on a paper version of the test that I took while in school (INTP -- the "nerdy engineer" type).

This one:
http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp
gave me a slightly different result (INTJ). The questions seemed repetitive and weird in that version, so I wouldn't recommend it except for comparing.

I never thought I'd say this, but I am not sure I like these new Colbert segments :'(

I too am a little disappointed, but not because of the segments. More because he's essentially never been playing a "character" at all. He's just been himself with a little extra sarcasm.

I think that's the way it's meant to be, and maybe I'd trust that one more. They made me take one of these professionally administered ones in school (engineering obviously... because everyone else doesn't need a test to tell them what their personality is like) and that's what it was like. Sort of like getting grilled by the fuzz, they ask you the same question in a bunch of different ways to get a more representative answer.

I don't remember my coding, but in the bar graphs I was pretty much exactly down the middle in every category, so I figure I aced it. Totally zen, that's me.

A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.

The questions are quite repetitive by nature, intentionally. But they usually throw more little twists into them so that they aren't all quite SO similar as that second link. Plus, the phrasing of the questions in general seemed much better in the first link.

I've taken quite a few variations of the test and they always come back INTP. So, I think that is probably "correct" for me; assuming one can put any stock into these personality test things at all.

The professionally administered one you took sounds reminiscent of my experiences when getting IQ tested for school. That was kinda bizarre at points -- like when they took out a "puzzle" with 4 equal sized cubes with a picture of an apple printed on one side of the cubes (other 5 faces all blank) so that if you put them together in a square it completed the picture. They made a big production of warning me that that portion of the test was timed, and then told me to put together the puzzle. It took about 1 second to verify that all of the other sides of the cubes were blank (checking to make sure it wasn't some sort of trick question) and another second to put together. Very weird.

I put very little stock in these personality tests. In particular, I don't trust them because they only describe whatever personality you have in positive, flattering terms - a trait/tactic very similar to horoscopes. Of course you will like the result if you are being compared to Shakespeare and told that you are among the most brilliant minds in the known universe.

So the MBTI's practical use is overwhelmingly unscientific, and it's often criticized for this. Criticism ranges from the pragmatic fact that neither Jung nor Myers and Briggs ever employed scientific studies to develop or test these concepts, relying instead on their own observations, anecdotes, and intuitions; all the way to charges that your MBTI score is hardly more meaningful than your zodiac sign.

I liked the old show better, but some of it still has a little vibe of the old Colbert Report. I watched it for the first week and quit. I never cared much for late night talk shows. I used to occasionally watch Letterman and a few others, but I only like the opening bits. I don't care to watch interviews of celebrities, so I quit watching when the interviews started. Even with the Daily Show and the old Colbert Report I rarely watched the interview portion.

Yay! I'm a fellow INFP!

Yeah when she was telling him about what the results meant I found myself thinking "What is this some kind of religious self help seminar? How much did he pay for this lady?"

I'm an IN??

Help! I can't tell if I am thinking I am feeling, feeling I am thinking, perceiving I am judgemental, or judging I am perceptive. I want to fit neatly inside one of the 16 boxes! or do I? I DON'T KNOW PLEASE TELL ME.
