Interesting article from Slate about the personality types of McCain, Obama, and Clinton.

Don't read too much into it, but I thought it was interesting.

I did the test - I can't remember the whole thing, but I'm a guardian too.

EDIT:
Ooohhh I'm an INTJ - the mastermind. Turns out I'm actually a "rational" and the rarest group apparently.

I've taken 2 or 3 of those Briggs-Myers tests before and I'm an ENFJ (referred to as the "teacher").

I have almost the same exact personality type as Obama (ENFP) and almost the complete opposite  of John McCain (ESTP).

I wouldn't give much credence to any test which fails to recognize that John McCain is a complete loon.

Made, talk about turning the personality test into a horoscope translation.  The article does its best to stretch and twist the basic description of the different personality tests to make it fit the person it is describing.
