Interesting. I did this a few years ago and got Submissive Introvert Abstract Feeler
Now I get Introverted Sensing Thinking Perceiver.
"The Crafter Artisans are not only concrete in speech and utilitarian in getting things done, they are also directive and attentive in their social roles. Though directive like their Promoter counterparts, their directiveness is leavened by a good deal of attentiveness and seclusiveness. They do not approach strangers readily, but once in contact do not hesitate to tell them what to do. And they can be quite forceful in this, such that others tend to do their bidding.
Like the other Artisans, Crafters live a life of artful action, but their particular nature is most easily seen in their mastery of tools of any and all kinds, from microscopic drill to supersonic jet, from potter's wheel to grand piano, from a camera to a clarinet. Sometimes Crafters will use their body as a tool. A tool is any implement that extends or varies our human powers -- vehicles, musical instruments, cutting devices, and weapons are just four of the many categories of the tools that surround us. Most of us use tools in some capacity, of course, but Crafters (only ten per cent of the general population) are the true virtuosos of tool work, with a natural ability to command tools, to bend them to their wishes, and to become adept at all the crafts requiring tool skills. Even from an early age Crafters are drawn to tools as to a magnet; tools fall into their hands demanding use, and they must manipulate them. Indeed, if a given tool, whether scalpel or earthmover, is operated with a precision that defies belief, that operator is likely an Crafter."
Now my initial reaction is to think, "But I am useless with tools! I hate DIY"...then I think that I spent most of yesterday playing the violin and then in the evening I had a lesson in traditional British sword fighting techniques! I am a relative newcomer to both disciplines, and in each case the assessment of my tutors is that my rate of progress is (no false modesty here!) "amazing".
Perhaps I am, or at least have become, a "Crafter" after all!
