Just interested in the response that have taken this. Does it match your job role? Does it match how see yourself?
I took mine a while ago: ENTJ

At the time I didn't think much of it.

An interesting bit is this: http://www.colorqprofiles.com/profiles.html
Blues (10% of the population)
Theoretical, competitive and always driven to acquire more knowledge and competence, Blues are unequalled when it comes dealing with complex, theoretical issues and designing new systems. They seek knowledge for its own sake and are driven to challenge and test ideas and authority. Their first reaction is to critique and set their own benchmarks against which they measure everyone and everything. They are highly precise in thought and language and future oriented, trusting only logic not the rules or procedures of the past. As leaders, Blues are visionary and do best in positions requiring strategic thinking. Their interest is in improving the idea or organization. Then, they move on, with little interest in maintenance and consolidation or for explaining the complexities of a plan that, to them, seems so obvious. Blues include Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates, George Soros and Vice President Cheney. (Blues correspond to the Myers-Briggs NTs.)

It's interesting because:
a) I switched my job/career progression ahead of the slump because of what I felt and believed in.
b) I brought a product to open a brand new market then after 3 years got bored (more interesting things out there) and gave up my job to look for something more interesting - even in the middle of a recession!
c) I find people that just see and react to the numbers without putting a little faith in what they feel as irritating and close minded. Although I can see the usefulness I see it as a 'now' indicator like navigating looking at your shoes.
d) I feel recharged by a good night out with plenty of people.
e) I've picked out a 0.02 error by the feeling something wasn't right (I had to check with a calculator to find the problem) during a complex business case presentation.

So have you found any similarities to you Mayers-Briggs?
 
Did this at work recently and came out as INTJ:

"Have original minds and great drive for their own ideas and purposes. Have long-range vision and quickly find meaningful patterns in external events. In fields that appeal to them, they have a fine power to organise a job and carry it through. Sceptical, critical, independent, determined, have high standards of competence and performance."

That's just the summary, the full thing goes into far more detail on your attributes and potential weaknesses, and explains how you might come across to others. Very interesting.

i really don't give a toss. I know who I am, and like Gilly I'm not forking out 150 quid to someone to categorize it as a colour.

Yer reasonably pointless but some companies may make you do it at interviews.

It was free at uni and a good waste of couple of hours.

i wouldn't pay for it though
