I'm an ENTJ - The Fieldmarshall

We had to take this test one time during our annual managers meeting. When we got our results, they told us to break out into groups according to our results so that we could brainstorm together as to what we do to be sucessful in our jobs.

I ended up being the only ENTJ in the group of 100+ managers..and was sitting there all by myself..lol

These descriptions of an ENTJ sooo fit me:

*Alternatively (s)he may unleash an icy gaze that serves notice: the ENTJ is not one to be trifled with (ask Matthew..lol)
*When challenged, the ENTJ may by reflex become argumentative. Not sure if that is the ENTJ in me or the redhead.
*The ENTJ requires little encouragement to make a plan.
*Fieldmarshals are bound to lead others, and from an early age they can be observed taking command of groups. In some cases, Fieldmarshals simply find themselves in charge of groups, and are mystified as to how this happened - sheesh... this happens to me all the time. Somehow I always end up in charge of stuff.
*Fieldmarshals root out and reject ineffectiveness and inefficiency, and are impatient with repetition of error

They listed famous ENTJs - an interesting mix!

ENTP, and thus far, the only one on this thread, though apparently they're not uncommon in the real world. I had to take this at work and I was way into E, on the line between N and S, way into T, on the line between P and J.

INFP.

Healer Idealists are abstract in thought and speech, cooperative in striving for their ends, and informative and introverted in their interpersonal relations. Healer present a seemingly tranquil, and noticiably pleasant face to the world, and though to all appearances they might seem reserved, and even shy, on the inside they are anything but reserved, having a capacity for caring not always found in other types. They care deeply-indeed, passionately-about a few special persons or a favorite cause, and their fervent aim is to bring peace and integrity to their loved ones and the world.

Healers have a profound sense of idealism derived from a strong personal morality, and they conceive of the world as an ethical, honorable place. Indeed, to understand Healers, we must understand their idealism as almost boundless and selfless, inspiring them to make extraordinary sacrifices for someone or something they believe in. The Healer is the Prince or Princess of fairytale, the King's Champion or Defender of the Faith, like Sir Galahad or Joan of Arc. Healers are found in only 1 percent of the general population, although, at times, their idealism leaves them feeling even more isolated from the rest of humanity.

Healers seek unity in their lives, unity of body and mind, emotions and intellect, perhaps because they are likely to have a sense of inner division threaded through their lives, which comes from their often unhappy childhood. Healers live a fantasy-filled childhood, which, unfortunately, is discouraged or even punished by many parents. In a practical-minded family, required by their parents to be sociable and industrious in concrete ways, and also given down-to-earth siblings who conform to these parental expectations, Healers come to see themselves as ugly ducklings. Other types usually shrug off parental expectations that do not fit them, but not the Healers. Wishing to please their parents and siblings, but not knowing quite how to do it, they try to hide their differences, believing they are bad to be so fanciful, so unlike their more solid brothers and sisters. They wonder, some of them for the rest of their lives, whether they are OK. They are quite OK, just different from the rest of their family-swans reared in a family of ducks. Even so, to realize and really believe this is not easy for them. Deeply committed to the positive and the good, yet taught to believe there is evil in them, Healers can come to develop a certain fascination with the problem of good and evil, sacred and profane. Healers are drawn toward purity, but can become engrossed with the profane, continuously on the lookout for the wickedness that lurks within them. Then, when Healers believe thay have yielded to an impure temptation, they may be given to acts of self-sacrifice in atonement. Others seldom detect this inner turmoil, however, for the struggle between good and evil is within the Healer, who does not feel compelled to make the issue public.
