Then MBTI Test- Descriptions (Part 1)

MBTI Test Result!

http://www.kisa.ca/personality/

My personality type is ENTJ.

Extraverted (E) 50% Introverted (I) 50%
Intuitive (N) 86% Sensing (S) 14%

Thinking (T) 50% Feeling (F) 50%
Judging (J) 64% Perceiving (P) 36%


As you can see, I am 50% Extraverted/Introverted and 50% Thinking/Feeling, and that left me four options: ENTJ, ENFJ, INTJ, INFJ. Actually I have done it a couple of times for its consistency, but there was not much difference! (the result was always the same!) I was always torn between feeling and thinking because I considered them both for whatever I do. It is also hard to really differentiate whether I am an extraverted or introverted.

But nevermind, I shall take it as ENTJ. Actually, I personally feel that the test was quite accurate. I shall explain it later. But before that, I shall post the meaning and description of this result.

ENTJ- The Executives
ENTJs generally have the following traits:

-Driven to turn theories into plans
-Highly value knowledge
-Future-oriented
-Natural leaders
-Impatient with inefficiency and incompetence
-Want things structured and orderly
-Excellent verbal communication skills
-Dislike routine, detail-oriented tasks
-Self-confident
-Decisive


ENTJs are especially well-suited to be leaders and organization builders. They have the ability to clearly identify problems and innovative solutions for the short and long-term well-being of an organization. Having a strong desire to lead, they're not likely to be happy as followers. ENTJs like to be in charge, and need to be in charge to take advantage of their special capabilities.

The following list of professions is built on our impressions of careers which would be especially suitable for an ENTJ. It is meant to be a starting place, rather than an exhaustive list. There are no guarantees that any or all of the careers listed here would be appropriate for you, or that your best career match is among those listed.

Possible Career Paths for the ENTJ:

-Corporate Executive Officer; Organization Builder
-Entrepreneur
-Computer Consultant
-Lawyer
-Judge
-Business Administrators and Managers
-University Professors and Administrators

ENTJ- The Fieldmarshals

Fieldmarshals are abstract, pragmatic, directive, and expressive. They tend to be highly skilled in situational organizing, directing their own actions and those of others. Their talent for contingency planning is a close second to their ability to coordinate, decide, and execute a strategy. Born engineers, they want to break an idea or concept into its most fundamental parts, subject those parts to intense scrutiny, and reassemble the idea before giving it their final approval. Their desire to ensure that an assessment is valid extends to their own work, and they will often seek the opinion of another trusted individual such as an Architect or an Inventor to refine their view of an issue, regardless of how sure they are.

Fieldmarshals have a strong desire to give structure and direction to groups of people. Of all the role variants, Fieldmarshals are the most likely to see where an organization is headed, and they want to communicate that vision to others. Thus they are more directive in their social exchanges than they are informative. Fieldmarshals often rise to positions of responsibility in work because they tend to be devoted to their jobs and are excellent administrators. Fieldmarshals do not actively seek out leadership responsibilities, but will often volunteer themselves to take charge in situations where leadership is absent or has failed, or where a power vacuum suddenly exists—not due to selfishness, but due to their innate desire to see a given system (be it social, political, workplace, or otherwise) continue to function until a suitable leader can be identified, who, in the mind of the Fieldmarshal, is as good at leadership as at background administration.

Fieldmarshals search more for goals and policy than they do for procedures and regulations. They strive to make their organization more efficient by reducing red tape, task redundancy, and confusion in the workplace. Fieldmarshals base their decisions on well thought-out plans, impersonal data, and overall probability of success. They expect others to follow their vision, and they are willing to remove stumbling blocks that prevent a given system (human or otherwise) from being fully productive. For Fieldmarshals, there must be a goal-directed reason for executing any plan. People’s emotions are generally considered secondary to raw data in any decision-making process.

Fieldmarshals are impatient with ineffectiveness, inefficiency, and the repetition of error. If an established procedure can be demonstrated to be ineffective at accomplishing a certain goal, they will abandon the procedure. Fieldmarshals keep long-term and short-term objectives in mind while striving to turn their organizations into smooth-functioning, empirically stable systems.

Here are the results of the Personality Type Assessment. If you are like most people, you will be impressed with how accurately these paragraphs describe you.

Extravert, iNtuitive, Thinker, Judger (ENTJ)ENTJs represent between 2 and 5% of the U.S. population.

Usually friendly and outgoing, ENTJs have a lot of energy, often speaking, thinking and moving quickly. Excellent strategic thinkers, they grasp new concepts quickly, even complicated or complex issues and they generally convey confidence. ENTJs often juggle several projects at once, and pride themselves on completing them all with skill and efficiency. Creative and innovative, most ENTJs enjoy developing high-level strategy and leading a team or organization towards implementation. Because ENTJs are so logical and analytical, they are usually good at anything that requires reasoning and intelligence. Driven to achieve competence in all they do, they can naturally spot the flaws that may exist in a situation and see immediately how to improve them.

You Are An ENTJ




The Executive

You are a natural leader - with confidence and strength that inspires others.

Driven to succeed, you are always looking for ways to gain, power, knowledge, and expertise.

Sometimes you aren't the most considerate person, especially to those who are a bit slow.

You are not easily intimidated - and you have a commanding, awe-inspiring presence.

In love, you hold high standards... for yourself, for your relationship, and for your significant other.

While it's easy for you to impress others, it's hard for you to find someone who impresses you.
At work, you are organized and good at delegating. You understand how to achieve goals.

You would make a great CEO, entrepreneur, or consultant.

How you see yourself: Rational, calm, and objective

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Inflexible, controlling, and overbearing

I got ENTJ again! haha.

Lols, actually I want to make it more accurate and to keep its consistency. Because getting 50% is very troublesome, and I don't know which one to use as each result represent different meanings.
Yeah I am trying to be more enthusiastic and because it makes me more willing and open to share with people my life.
