What book is 'your' Meyers-Briggs profile? C'mon, tell us. It's Bloomsday, after all.


Someone was bound to figure out this way to slice and dice book preferences: one classic for each of the sixteen Myers-Briggs personality types.

But, as  literary amusements go, it's an interesting one. For Lindsay, Henry's Book Guy, it presents an interesting dichotomy. As he puts it, "I am not of one mind about Myers-Briggs." His score is INT/FJ. 

Which means? Well, his I, N and J are practically off the chart, so definite are they.

But the Thinking/Feeling axis is divided by only one point on the scale. This accounts for why he veers through life, one moment an enigmatic iceberg; the next, a bit of go-it-alone maverick.

Flavorwire's two choices for him are these:
Pride and Prejudice
INTJ: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
The INTJ is fiercely independent, like a true Austen heroine, and skeptical like the novel’s creator.

ulysses
INFJ: Ulysses by James Joyce
Like an INFJ, the classic by Joyce is hard to get into and definitely intimidating, but once you discover its world, you find it warm, humanistic, and even a little bit silly.
