For those curious, two sites placed me as INTJ (Mastermind) while the third as INTP (Architect).
Two cases of INFJ and one of INTJ. I already knew that my thinking/feeling rating was pretty close to the border. So depending on how I feel each day I'm either a Mastermind or a Counselor. Or maybe both;)
The first one said ISFJ which is the first time I've ever gotten that result, and the second two gave me the usual ISTP.
Apparently I'm borderline on the S/N and on the F/T on all of them when they break down the numbers. But the one is the only time I've ever gotten a J. Every other time I've ever taken the test it's always been overwhelmingly P.

I'm an STFU. Is that bad?
GM: INTP

Could be worse. Could be a FUBAR;)
3 out of 3 ENTP. They tended to only be about 55% or so on E vs I, but the NTP part seemed to be by a wide margin on all three tests. I am an Inventor apparently.
Oh, and I almost never GM, so that might account for my deviance from the standard GM personality types :)
FWIW, I've yet to GM a game in the years I've played (since the mid 80's).
My scores on these always vary depending on my mood. I'm always introverted, though. Often at the very high end of the test range.
First test:
INTJ (78/50/50/56)
I'm a...Mastermind? That explains the volcano base I have full of jumpsuit-clad henchmen. Or the four PBEMs.
Second:
ISTJ (no percentages given)
A trustee? Ok.
Third:
ISTJ (83/66/83/62)
Same as previous.

#1: ENTP: "Inventor". Enthusiastic interest in everything and always sensitive to possibilities. Non-conformist and innovative. 5% of the total population.
#2: ESTP "Promoter": These are action-oriented people, often sophisticated, sometimes ruthless -- our "James Bonds." As mates, they are exciting and charming, but they have trouble with commitment. They make good promoters, entrepreneurs, and con artists. 13% of the total population.
#3: ESTP again.
Yeah. I can dig it. #2 and #3 probably nailed my self perception better than #1.

<-- GM. INTJ. Latent Moriarty.
Interestingly, I think I used to be more P than J, but then I underwent military training... which is pretty much designed to smoke out any P tendencies and teach J behavior. Although I still pride myself on the ability to plan thoroughly and in detail (J), but flex as necessary in execution (P).
EDIT: Understanding these temperaments, as mentioned above, is a great way to help yourself build NPCs.

It is. I have a d% table I roll on, with the actual documented distribution of types in the population. I roll on the table for random-type NPC's, then use the description as the basis of their personality. I also correlate that with other NPC's (and the PC's self-described types) for my compatibility matrix. GAH! GEEK!!!
INFP for all three. And I am a GM.

The inverse of using MB to make good NPCs is ignoring it to come up with unbelievable ones. My wife is a big MB geek. She says Anakin Skywalker is totally unbelievable because he's a classic SP whereas Vader's an NT. Night and day.
On a related topic, I'd guess that most RPG players are N's. I see we've had a few S's among us, but I'd bet money that it's mostly an N pastime due to the abstract nature of the game. That would also help explain why gaming is still a niche hobby since S's greatly outnumber N's in the general populace.

Would you mind sending me a copy of that? I'd love to use it and my wife would get a kick out of it, too.

INTJ on all three tests. Which is weird, because I took the same tests a year ago, and scored ENTP on all three.

Sure thing, soonazi extract it from my Master Relationship Spreadsheet {tm}. Will include distribution and compatability thingy for geeky goodness.

A pawn in her game... Until the following weekend where her application of spreadsheets has filtered into my games and shall come back to haunt... um... nobody really. I mostly just use them to see how interested in the party NPCs become.
INTP (22/25/50/11) Architect
INTP Architect
ISTP Engineer (took this one twice to make sure, varying a bit between what I like to do and what I have to do all day, and got the same result.... maybe I do like what I do :)
Usually GM. (but I love the surprises inherent to being a player more)
I'm not sure how accurate these are, but the introspective side of me went out to a nightclub, so I'll just meekly accept the results.
edit: Strangely enough, I'm a scientist, with a bit of an engineering background, and I usually prefer the concrete approaches of engineering to the abstract theory-type things that are unavoidable for me in my field. It's almost like these tests are psychic or something - weird!
I GM and play...but I prefer to play.
Test #1 ---- E 89% S 1% F 50% J 89%
Test #2 ---- ENFJ
Test #3 ---- E 87.5% S 62.5% F 75% J 54.17%
I'm a GM and occasional player, and I was all over the place on the tests, but I'm an INFJ.
I must be out of synch this morning...

Oh yeah, the role variants on wikipedia have examples of famous people with a given subtype.
This is the INTP page, all the others are on the analytical psychology page at the bottom
I got different results on each: INFP, INTP, INFJ...
I got different results on each: INFP, INTP, INFJ...
same here with
#1= INTJ (I=44, N=38, T=12, J=67) mastermind#2=ISFJ
INFJ: "Author". Strong drive and enjoyment to help others. Complex personality. 1% of the total population. These are serious students and workers who really want to contribute. They are private and easily hurt. They make good spouses, but tend to be physically reserved. People often think they are psychic. They make good therapists, general practitioners, ministers, and so on.
#3= ISTJ
Introverted (I) 87.5% Extroverted (E) 12.5%
Sensing (S) 79.17% Intuitive (N) 20.83%
Thinking (T) 54.17% Feeling (F) 45.83%
Judging (J) 75% Perceiving (P) 25%
ISTJ - "Trustee". Decisiveness in practical affairs. Guardian of time- honored institutions. Dependable. 11.6% of total population.
Triple ISTJ (GM)
I had to take the Myers-Briggs tests for a job several years ago. My sweety loves these things. :)
(And for what it's worth, I came back as an INFJ.)
We need a gamer's version of the Meyers-Briggs
Let's see, perhaps something like:
First scale: Gamer Master or Player Character
Second Scale: Min-Max or Organic
Third Scale: Hack n' Slash or Storytelling
Fourth SCale: Cooperative or CompeTitive
I'd be POSC, though on paper I'd look more like PMSC with occasional bouts of H overtaking S.
