Oh mapping schemes. How deliciously addictive they are!

I'm definitely Johnny on all axes mentioned.
Of course, in order to get a good distribution of types in HRSFA, one probably has to apply an anti-Johnny filter upfront (compare: anti-Ravenclaw filter). Adjusting to HRSFA standard, I think I'm still Johnny, but a noticeably Spiky Johnny.

And I'll conclude by saying that I hope, given the overall topic of this post, that your reference to an "obsession against overly using pattern matching in the real world" is delivered with appropriately self-aware irony.

Huh. This is the only mapping scheme in my memory which I've looked at and gone, you know, I have no clue whether any of these is me.

For a while, people would ask if you were a "Mort, Elvis, or Einstein" programmer...I haven't heard it in years, though. Mort is the person who has some other job and just wants things to work. Elvis shows off and does something flashy. Einstein thinks through everything and solves it in the most workmanlike way possible. Maps reasonably well, actually. (Probably the least good fit is Mort and Timmy, but Einstein and Spike seem on track.)

I'm not sure that's true that it maps entirely? I'm basically a Johnny when it comes to my internal dialogue, but take a pretty Einstein approach to doing things.
