    Take these tests with a grain of salt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_test#Criticism_and_controversy

    I've taken this test a few times for the lols, mostly I come up as an INTJ, sometimes as an INFJ. I am defintely an introvert. I think it takes introspection to see what is happening with the bullshit with the org and how it affects us mentally. Of course extraverts can be introspective, no one is 100% one way or the other, even as the tests show. Also I bet more introverts like the format of a forum like this as it allows for thinking/analysis and ability to go over your responses before you submit them so there will be more bias in introverts replying to this thread. Just a hunch.

    I think the closest to a correlation between personality type and leaving is probably introspection.

    Fader.

    Woke up when I realised it was B.S, prompted by the discovery that Jerusalem was not destroyed in 607BCE.

    INTJ

    born-in

    left at age 32

    reason: severe depression, just gave up and accepted that I was a failure as a JW

    the depression got much better as I got more distance from the org.

    Another INTJ here.....

    It was doctrine that made me leave, not people... I could have put up with the petty elder-wars if I really believed that it was a true doctrine and we were really doing "The Lord's work"

    I've taken the test several times in my life. I think this is the first time I've taken it ex-Dub.

    I have always been an INTJ with a marginal "N" that was sometimes even in the single digits and the rest (I-TJ) solid numbers.

    Took it again just now. Still INTJ. My "N" has bloomed to 56.

    You are:

    • very expressed introvert
    • distinctively expressed intuitive personality
    • moderately expressed thinking personality
    • moderately expressed perceiving personality

    Age:37

    Born in, started fading at 32, stopped altogether at 33 (although I knew/suspected it was crap at 23).

    Reason I definitely left: False/illogical doctrines.

    Introverts seem to be strongly present among leavers. I guess that makes sense.
