Niednagel claims that he can identify which type a person is by watching tape and listening to them speak so I don't think they would need to actually take any tests. They might have though ... I just don't know. Although I'm not convinced that this stuff is legitimate it still fascinates me. Towards the bottom of the last post they say that the Orlando Magic stopped using him because his fee was too expensive (over six figures) so enough people must want his services that his price is a) high and b) going up which makes me think he's done something to create his reputation.
I've taken this test at work, and its hogwash, in my opinion. When asked whether I prefer analysis or synthesis, I close my eyes and pick an answer. The only thing that is tested is your vocabulary, and how well acquainted you are with concepts that are not generally well understood. But who knows, maybe by trying to fool the test, it fooled me.
Eh. I scanned a few pages, and I don't think Niednagel ever referenced Myers-Briggs. At least he didn't claim credit for Jung's theories..... You can google for a type sorter on the web if you'd like (I'm an INTJ). The utility of knowing your personality type in general is dubious, and most of the stuff I've seen on the web does border on the hokey scientology/astrology/
predatory "self-help" BS. I personally think this guy is selling snake oil when it comes to typing athletes based on their comments. The introvert/extrovert isn't hard to differentiate, but it would seem hard to draw meaningful conclusions about an athlete's brain when the bulk of their public comments are from cliche-laden fluff interviews.
Here is a personality sorter. Good addition to the post. Thanks mbd1. Apparently I'm a INTJ as well.
I prefer Phrenology. Garfield it's no surprise the test fooled you - you have the leveled brainpan typical of an underdeveloped yes man. Suitable for task-response, but not task-generation. My guess is at best you sell insurance.
My guess is at best you sell insurance. Not bad for a table-candle making honors Philosophy student. Far Out, Solid and Right On!
