[Ed. Many of you know I co-authored a book called the “Motivation Profile” as a response to the inadequacies of the Meyers-Briggs [personality] type indicator (MBTI). If you’ve ever been “Meyers-Briggs-ed” and bludgeoned by some nincompoop facilitator on a power trip with the results, you’ll appreciate this. For reference, the MBTI results indicate the respondent’s likely preferences on four personality traits or “dimensions”: Extraversion (E) OR Introversion (I), Sensing (S) OR Intuition (N), Thinking (T) OR Feeling (F), Judging (J) OR Perceiving (P)]<\/p>\n
ENFJ:<\/b> “Busybody”<\/p>\n Life’s backseat drivers. They seem to know just what’s wrong with everybody else’s life and have a plan to fix it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n INFJ:<\/b> “Messiah”<\/p>\n Characterized by the burning desire to change the world, which desperately needs everyone to be NF.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n ENFP:<\/b> “Muckraker”<\/p>\n Creator of hype, distortion, and the perversion of media of information to be wallows of mindless emotionalism.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n INFP:<\/b> “Fanatic”<\/p>\n Always searching for an Answer with a capital A. Unlike the INFJ, they are usually openminded enough to realize the current one isn’t good enough after a few years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n ENTJ:<\/b> “Tyrant”<\/p>\n Knows better than everyone how things should be done and works tirelessly to obtain the power to make it happen that way.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n INTJ:<\/b> “Crackpot”<\/p>\n All facts which don’t fit their theories are just wrong. The more all-encompassing and less applicable to reality the theories, the better.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n ENTP:<\/b> “Frankenstein”<\/p>\n The salvation of the world is to be found in this new nanotronic frannistan, of which he just happens to have an almost-working model…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n INTP:<\/b> “Nerd”<\/p>\n What? you mean people actually talk to each other using mouths and ears instead of keyboards????<\/p><\/blockquote>\n ESTJ:<\/b> “Stuffed Shirt”<\/p>\n No imagination, no flexibility, no common sense, no capacity for tolerance of others with different priorities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n ISTJ:<\/b> “Bean Counter”<\/p>\n Like the ESTJ but with less vision.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n ESFJ:<\/b> “Gossip”<\/p>\n Like the Busybody, but characterized by the urge to backstab instead of trying to help.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n ISFJ:<\/b> “Sidekick”<\/p>\n Doesn’t need much meaning in life, just a person (or baby or pet or car) to spend all their time ministering to.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n ESTP:<\/b> “Beer Drinker”<\/p>\n Loud, crude, plays team sports, kisses and tells. These are the people beer commercials are made for.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n ESFP:<\/b> “Clown”<\/p>\n Always the class troublemaker, they have no respect for anybody or anything. Good at snide wisecracks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n ISTP:<\/b> “Assasin”<\/p>\n Hates people, and is good at killing them. Young ISTP’s are good at killing pictures of people in video games.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n ISFP:<\/b> “Snob”<\/p>\n Revels in the elaborate sensations of wine and paintings and music that are completely indistinguishable to ordinary people. Likes flowers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [Ed.
