ENTJ…

September 25, 2008 11:17 pm

I am not sure what is more annoying about a personality test… the setup in which they force you to tell yourself who you are or their uncanny accuracy. I wonder which profile least appreciates being profiled.

But once you get over the trauma of having your inner psyche unraveled by 68 awkwardly probing questions, there comes the blissful comparison of yourself with other well known and famous ENTJs.

  • Napoleon
  • Bill Gates
  • Indiana Jones (well, Harrison Ford anway…)

I have actually been thinking a lot about the whole issue of ingrained personality versus disciplined and purposeful habits. I started reading through proverbs every morning, and I have really been taken back by how blatant the book describes the views and actions of the wise person versus that of a fool. I believe Solomon intends to suggest that we can choose wisdom over folly, and even though we may be born with a propensity for foolishness… we can choose to hold our tongues, listen carefully, seek knowledge, gain understanding, and in time become wise… regardless of our Myers-Briggs breakdown… or is that just typical thinking for an ENTJer like myself?
