Ensight – Jeremy Wright

Had a rough night last night, so I’ve been a touch introspective today. I caught this entry on personality types over at BusinessPundit.

I took the test, and I’m an ENTJ:

If one word were used to capture ENTJ’s style, it would be commandmant. The basic driving force and need of ENTJs is to lead, and from an early age they can be observed taking over groups. ENTJs have a strong urge to give structure wherever they are – to harness people to distant goals. Their empirical, objective, and extraverted thinking may be highly developed; if this is the case, they use classification, generalization, summarization, adduction of evidence, and demonstration with ease. They resemble the ESTJs in their tendency to establish plans for a task, enterprise, or organization, but ENTJs search more for policy and goals rather than for regulations and procedures. ENTJs are similar to INTJs except that the ENTJ places greater trust in empirical thought than in intuition; it is the ENTJs own intuitive sense of coherence, however, that augments and supports their empirical thinking.

I think this describes me fairly well, surprisingly. Great at planning, thinking, summarizing and getting people motivated.

My E is lower, so I do have times where I enjoy some downtime or alone time, but it’s mainly to refuel my batteries. I love crowds (large and small); and anything which gets stuff done fuels my jets.

Cool beans. Take the test yourself or join in the discussion at BusinessPundit

edit: I’m also an NT Conceptualist, which makes even more sense to me:

Conceptual NTs, being ABSTRACT in communicating and UTILITARIAN in implementing goals, can become highly skilled in STRATEGIC ANALYSIS. Thus their most practiced and developed intelligent operations tend to be marshalling and planning (NTJ organizing), or inventing and configuring (NTP engineering). And they would if they could be wizards in one of these forms of rational operation. They are proud of themselves in the degree they are competent in action, respect themselves in the degree they are autonomous, and feel confident of themselves in that sense they are “strong willed”.
