I took the liberty of editing your initial post's title per your request to avoid making the thread seem more confusing. Btw, I remember taking the Myers-Briggs (or some variant/derivative) on more than one occasion both in college and grad school. I don't know if I would place so much importance in those archetypes as they can only reveal generalities regarding one's own nature at best. Interesting stuff at any rate, good luck with the site.
I just wanted to comment to this Iron Chef. I had a different experience with Myers Briggs. All my life I had felt "different", "alien" in my own country. I could tell that others were quite different from me, but I had no idea why. I felt rather alone in the world, although I had friends.
Then I took this test when I found a book called "Please Understand Me" by David Kiersey. It was basic Myers-Briggs. When I read the description of my type I was amazed. I couldn't believe that someone could "know" me so well. The description fit me and described me better than I could describe myself. I was hooked. If this person could describe me, then there must be others like me out there somewhere.
It turns out that I am a rare type. There are only 3% of my type in the worlds population. That is why I felt so odd. It was a great turning point in my life. It explained why and how I was different from others. Now I have connected with others of my type through forums and no longer feel alone. I know there are others like me, now. I cannot began to describe the relief I have felt in knowing Myers-Briggs. That is why I am such a huge proponent of the subject. And I am not alone in feeling this way about it. We have 600 people on our INFP site (my type)
http://infp.globalchatter.com/ , 1000 people on an INTP site
http://forums.intpcentral.com/ and those are just two of the more popular ones.
My sites combine a variety of types
Clairvoyant Services | New Port Richey, FL and we are now trying to go global and include people who do not speak English at:

So there are many, many people who connect through Myers Briggs and who find a sense of commradery through it. So if anyone of you relate to this feeling "different", please check out these sites. And we are looking for multilingual people who will help us create international sites for various languages.
Within a week we will have a complete Japanese forum, as we have a Japanese admin who will oversee the forum. We also have a Hindi speaker and a Swedish speaker. We will be adding those forums at a later time.
We have tests you can take to discover your type. We do not have one in Japanese yet but will. The site is presently under construction,but there is a forum that you can register and began discussion.
