Posted on 12 July 2011 by Andrei

The MBTI personality test is extremely popular and if you never took one before, there’s no time like the present to do just that. It’s a test I personally recommend, I wouldn’t have blogged about it otherwise. I’d appreciate it if you could take it and let us know what the result was so that we can determine which personality types are more common among domainers.
