I'm pretty much into psychology, and i would like to know if there is a correlation between people's MBTI type and how successful they are. This will obviously bring no conclusive results since the "sample group" is very likely not much statistically relevant, since most people here are newbies and the professional and profitable traders don't hang much around here.
But still, it will be interesting to see the results. Needless to say, knowing one's type can be a very handy tool for one to better spot potential weaknesses in trading.
So, without further delays, what is your MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator)?
Free Jung Personality Test
Don't read any further before taking the test or it could bias you somehow when taking it...
Now, i believe
feelers (F) will have a harder time trading, and people with the
introversion (I) and
thinking (T) preferences will have an easier time trading and will tend to be more successful in it (introversion/extroversion doesn't have much to do with it, but i'm sure whether the person is a thinker or a feeler does a big difference in trading). But let's see the results, i may be very wrong in my assumptions. I need you guys to be honest and tell the results you got in the test and how would you measure your success in trading, and if you think that this is utter garbage or not.
I could write a bit more about it but i need to go now. I'll write further as i get some feedback.
