The medical school I work at has a problem-based learning curriculum and one of the factors they use in forming their small groups (which they work in for the first two years) is Meyers-Briggs personality type. It seems to work out very well--gouping complementary personalities together.
The program I work in is a post-bac premed program for disadvantaged individuals. Students use their M-B type to help develop study habits and test-taking skills that work best for them, and to become generally more self-aware.
I personally am INFP. It is are rare type indeed--of the 180 students that have gone through our program since I've worked here, only ONE was INFP.
As an INFP, I am indeed creative and have a pretty kooky sense of style which nobody gets. (That's cool, but WHY would you want that?) I can also say that, as an INFP, most people find me very easy to get along with, but the reverse is often not true. My partner is a the-more-the-merrier, the-louder-the-better codependent extrovert and I'm a oh-my-god-why-can't-we-just-stay-home independent introvert--we've worked that out, but it took YEARS.
Personalities. Good times.
