An Executive In Denial
Turns out that Ben knows me better than I give him credit for. We were talking about the Myers-Briggs test after Landmark yesterday. He said I am an ENTJ and I told him confidently that I am an ENTP "with a very high P actually".
Well...turns out I've changed. I was ENTP five years ago when I last took the test with my co-workers at Team Days in Milwaukee. Took it last night again and I am ENTJ "with a very high J actually".
So I've changed from a Visionary to an Executive over the years. Although it's so much cooler to be a Visionary, I read the profiles again and I'm quite certain I'm more of an Executive.
Anyway, here's how one website describes ENTJ...
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.
