Rationals might tackle problems in organic systems such as plants and animals, or in mechanical systems such as railroads and computers, or in social systems such as families and companies and governments. But whatever systems fire their curiosity, Rationals will analyze them to understand how they work, so they can figure out how to make them work better.All Rationals share the following core characteristics: •Rationals tend to be pragmatic, skeptical, self-contained, and focused on problem-solving and systems analysis. •Rationals pride themselves on being ingenious, independent, and strong willed. •Rationals make reasonable mates, individualizing parents, and strategic leaders. •Rationals are even-tempered, they trust logic, yearn for achievement, seek knowledge, prize technology, and dream of understanding how the world works. read more: www.keirsey.com/4temps/rational_overview.asp

Internet tests are poor tools for finding your type, even that of Keirsey's. The functions are the most important. I.e I am an INTP and therefore my functions are as following: Ti-Ne-Si-Fe. You can understand and infer much more by knowing simply that then by only following the four letters, which only gives you a very shallow understanding of the type. The temperaments are inaccurate and misleading as an ISTP is closer to an INTP than to an ISFP or ESFP f.e. This one is somewhat better, but I still dislike tests online; similarminds.com/cgi-bin/cog_jung.pl

It's impossible for these sort of tests to be fully accurate. It's only meant to give an idea, in the end it's up to the individual to decide how much of it is true, or not.
btw, that above link you posted is not working for me, I think my anti-virus is blocking it or something.

I disagree. Sometimes it does give you an idea, but a lot of the time it just gives the wrong idea, which is why so many people get different results different times and from different tests.

I did the keirsey temperament test twice, and got the same result; Artisan
Some of the specifics are correct and some are not (about me).

That's true, sa. There is a tendency for behaviour though. I did the keirsey temperament test twice, and got the same result; Artisan Some of the specifics are correct and some are not (about me). If you are an Artisan, your dominant and secondary functions will be Ti and Se or Fi and Se ( but not necessarily in that order). I think you are an extrovert, so Se would come first. Read these succinct articles about the cognitive functions and see what fits you the best and the least. The functions I mentioned could be the most relevant ones in your case. www.cognitiveprocesses.com/Cognitive-Functions/Introverted-Feeling.cfm
