Extraverted Thinking with Introverted Intuition

Today at work we did something that I love to do....we took personality tests. Most of you know I love "get to know me" games and personality tests are no exception.

Today's test was based on the psychological types and the personality research of Myers-Briggs. You can take a free test at http://www.mypersonality.info/. It's super fun and inspires insightful debate and discussion. It sumed me up perfectly...it the nail right on the head....with a couple of exceptions.

So, let's talk about me....I'm an ENTJ....also known as a "chief". ENTJs are extroverted, intuitive, thinking, judging..in other words...Extraverted Thinking with Introverted Intuition.

ENTJ Strengths
Genuinely interested in people's ideas and thoughts
Enthusiastic and energetic
Take their commitments very seriously
Fair-minded and interested in doing the Right Thing
Very good with money
Extremely direct and straightforward
Verbally fluent
Enhance and encourage knowledge and self-growth in all aspects of life
Able to leave relationships without looking back
Able to turn conflict situations into positive lessons
Able to take constructive criticism well
Extremely high standards and expectations (both a strength and a weakness)
Usually have strong affections and sentimental streaks
Able to dole out discipline

ENTJ Weaknesses
Their enthusiasm for verbal debates can make them appear argumentative
Tendency to be challenging and confrontational
Tend to get involved in "win-lose" conversations
Tendency to have difficulty listening to others
Tendency to be critical of opinions and attitudes which don't match their own
Extremely high standards and expectations (both a strength and a weakness)
Not naturally in tune with people's feelings and reactions
May have difficulty expressing love and affection, sometimes seeming awkward or inappropriate
Can be overpowering and intimidating to others
Tendency to want to always be in charge, rather than sharing responsibilities
Can be very harsh and intolerant about messiness or inefficiency
Tendency to be controlling
May be slow to give praise or to realize another's need for praise
If unhappy or underdeveloped, they may be very impersonal, dictatorial, or abrasive
Tendency to make hasty decisions
Make explode with terrible tempers when under extreme stress

I think this sentence sums up the ENTJ best....
"The ENTJ does not usually have a problem with self-confidence and is not especially emotionally needy." So I'm guessing Alicia is an ENTJ too. :)

Evidentially the ENTJ is best matched with an INTP (Introverted Thinking with Extraverted Intuition) or an ISTP (Introverted Thinking with Extraverted Sensing). So if you know of any cute, rich INTP or ISTP boys...send them my way.

Well enough about me. Take the test and let me know what personality you are.
