IMA ENTJ

At least that's what my license plate says. For those of you who aren't familiar with Myers-Briggs, it's a test that you can take that determines what type of personality you are. Apparently, there are 16 different types of people in this world and my type just so happens to be an ENTJ.

Since determining my personality type, I have discovered that the ENTJ is the most difficult person to get along with. I have found myself in heated battles with other ENTJs and I have found that I just don't like very many of them. The reason for this is that ENTJs are vocal, opinionated, stubborn and anal. To top it off, they love to be the center of attention. I would not be surprised if 80% of blogs were written by ENTJs. What better way to show off your stubborn opinions by creating an obnoxious blog all about you?

At any rate, I'm glad my husband is an INTP. Apparently, the best pairing for a vocal, opinionated, stubborn and anal personality is someone that is quiet, doesn't care about anything and is terribly unorganized. That's my husband.

In case you're interested in finding out what type of personality you are (God rest your soul if you are an ENTJ!) you can go here: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes1.htm. Once you have found out what type you are using this free test, go to this site: http://www.personalitypage.com. This is probably the best site I have found regarding Myers-Briggs.

Here's a sample of the pitfalls of being an ENTJ from the Personality Page:

There is not much room for error in the world of the ENTJ. They dislike to see mistakes repeated, and have no patience with inefficiency. They may become quite harsh when their patience is tried in these respects, because they are not naturally tuned in to people's feelings, and more than likely don't believe that they should tailor their judgments in consideration for people's feelings. ENTJs, like many types, have difficulty seeing things from outside their own perspective. Unlike other types, ENTJs naturally have little patience with people who do not see things the same way as the ENTJ. The ENTJ needs to consciously work on recognizing the value of other people's opinions, as well as the value of being sensitive towards people's feelings. In the absence of this awareness, the ENTJ will be a forceful, intimidating and overbearing individual. This may be a real problem for the ENTJ, who may be deprived of important information and collaboration from others. In their personal world, it can make some ENTJs overbearing as spouses or parents.

Aren't you glad you aren't married to me? :)
