ENTP-T (apparently, the T is for the "turbulent" variant).

Actually, it's probably the closest I've seen a Myers-Briggs test get to describing my personality.  On top of it, I'm actually related to the first name on their "famous ENTPs" list (John Adams).

TL;DR description: I argue because I can, and because it's fun.

TL;DR prospectus: I'm a good analyst, but a terrible manager.  Not like a professional systems analyst at all, nope.

[Tonitrus]

Got ISFP-T

I'm usually an INTJ, but I got ISFJ on this quiz.

I usually flip between I/E NTJ, but got ISFJ on this particular quiz.

I think Myers-Briggs is junk science, personally.

I think Myers-Briggs is junk science, personally.

I hear this view often, but I've never heard a convincing debunking of it that didn't sound like junk science itself.  From what I know about it (not much), it doesn't claim any biological causation behind the model, it's just a way to cluster observed personality types into categories.  I don't see what's so junky about such an approach, assuming that the resulting personality types are predictive of certain quantities of interest.

Are there any that don't have cool names?  Like "the dork," or "the couch potato?"

From what I understand Myers and Briggs were Jungian psychologists (or at least were influenced by Jungian psychology) and their types correspond closely to Jungian archetypes. This means that you will not find many uncool ones as there are no uncool archetypes. It would be like finding a profoundly uncool Greek pantheon god.
