Hello,

Joe Butt originally posted the following analysis (excellent in my opinion)
to alt.psychology.personality.  I am reposting it since there are a lot
of new people on a.p.p.  Also, I thought the people over in the
rec.arts.startrek.current group should take a look also (if one of you
trekkies feels this should be cross-posted to other startrek groups, feel
free to do so.)

There's terminology used that you may not be familiar with (e.g., INTJ).  This
is a shorthand notation for describing one of the 16 personality archetypes
defined by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, one of the better known models
for human behavior and personality.  If you're interested, I can send you a
summary of the MBTI system so you can decipher this post.

Enjoy!

My wife and I are big ST-NG fans, and I've drawn these conclusions from
watching:

Jean-Luke Picard -- ENTJ, as was his predecessor, James T. Kirk

Riker (#1) -- INTJ (At first I thought he was an 'E', but I think he keeps
his own counsel like the INTJ's are wont to do.)

Commander Data -- INTP par excellence! (My hero!)

Giordi -- ESFJ  "Lead, follow, or get out of the way!!"

Counselor Troi -- INFP & quintessential Rogerian 
Wesley Crusher --  "   (scientists can bee Feelers, too!)

Dr. Beverly Crusher -- INFJ.  Warm, caring, great in a crisis.

Q -- ENTP of the worse sort. (No reflection on ENTP's.  Most are 
caring, delightful people.  JERKness is no respecter of type!)

Worf -- ISTP - the warrior (no guts, no glory!)

What's-her-name (Whoopi Goldberg's character) -- ENTJ, like the captain.

Now, if you're just dying to know what INFJ stands for, be brave, e-mail me,
and I'll send you some information.  It WILL be worth the inquiry, I think.
