this post of yours is a flow of life cliff notes for a very select audience. unconventional and authentic approach to cliched old sayings which have a truth hidden inside experiences yet to come. and practical.

so tickling and playful to my mind. like the magic moment when you're flipping the pancake and its up in the air. that made no sense ok, i will seriously read ths again tomorrow and i womder how much drunk me is telling me things sober me won't say.

Haha, I can't see ENTP and ENTJ being all that different. I've got a little bit of P in me

I guess the important difference is that an ENTJ is 'supposed' to follow through with detailed plans while an ENTP is more inclined to wing it?

That was such a good read. Thanks for introducing me to the Myers-Briggs type indicator.

A mighty post by MightyAtom! Love it! Even if it took me 3 days to get from start to finish :D

I remember taking the Myers-Briggs test when I was in high school and being an INTJ, and thinking "wtf is this this isn't me?!" and when I took it again just now 3 years later, I am still an INTJ, and it seems to fit almost perfectly. I guess we grow into our personalities.

My cube is small and black in a vast desert separated from the ladder, horse and flowers, and a huge storm is brewing
I swear I'm actually an optimist!

I still totally understand what i meant with that pancake thing. ever since the tasing incident ive been completely consistent across the board no matter my drunkenness but i don't believe it when im drunk.

You need to add the line "You are in the desert and you see a cube" to the cube test. I went through it here first and was a little confused by the desert line until I clicked on the site. Minor detail. I really love this post, there is a friend of mine who just seems lost these days and I think he would gain a lot by reading this.

Results I received:

I am INTJ I feel it describes me as well as could be expected. Many parts are dead on.

I have an orange cube, difficult to tell the size right now. I didn't know about the desert at first, so the desert was added to a cube floating in the middle of nowhere. The desert is flat and endlessly expansive.

The ladder is a yellow 24' extension ladder, there is dry mud caked on it, the fiberglass is sun baked and the rails are worn, though the ladder still seems very sturdy. The ladder is leaning on the cube, it is not extended and about 2' protrudes from the top, this puts the cube size into perspective now, it's about 10' tall.

The horse is brown, with black hair, the hair has an impressive sheen on it. The horse is standing right next to the ladder. No saddle or anything of that nature is present.

I recall a storm but I don't see any signs of it, I think it passed a long time ago.

After thinking of flowers, I decided not to add any to the picture.

I was actually pretty shocked when I continued to read about how to interpret the image. I'm glad i took some free time to relax today, I really enjoyed coming across this post. Thanks. Now to digest all this nifty info over a beer, cheers!

I think its more than that, over all efficiency is higher on all levels over a long sustained period of time, but as an NT is is very high in strategy and with the J very high in operations, so ENTJ from the ones that I know tend to be very accomplished across the board, where the P in and ENTP makes exceptional in a few achievements but over all efficiency is quite shitty unless we feel challenged. Again, the combination in our profiles create very different results over periods of years, but on a single project that is just a week long, not that much difference.

@jlim pleasure, just remember its a profile of what people have tested as, its not actually you, just a collection of people who have exhibited similar characteristics.

@RisingTide, ^^, Intj, quite rare lol, but on this type of forum, I'm sure the rare profiles are actually quite common, ^^ @ your visualization; its just how your subconcious preceives things, its not a judgement on your self, just on how your self views things at the moment.

@Biscuitt Thanks for pointing that out, added it in, and glad that you've found some worth to it all ^^

@krndandaman Masters international business KU 2003 class, I would say my main education was from my time in the Korean gov't agency and as a consultant at PwC in Korea.
I dont think i've ever been religious, but I get what you mean, i attend service every week I can, I don't listen to the sermon and pray before each meal and pray for my family and friends. I let my faith be as it is and let God reveal things as they come.

And don't worry about the career profile thingies, I think they are completely way off for everyone, a personality/profile test stretches things too far when they get into really basic things like what people are attracted to or like. Being an ENTP or INFP, has no relevance if you like chocolate or vanilla, or the job you truly excel in.

Good read, I especially enjoyed the part about making the choice between standard and nonstandard. It's something that I've been struggling with in college deciding whether I want to just do what's necessary to get the best grade possible for a class or to maximize my learning and then move on to something else.

I've gotten INTP all the times I've taken that test (about 5 or so). I'm taking this to mean that I haven't developed that much and should get out of my comfort zone a lot more

I think you won't really ever change in that basic profile, but the degree of how strong some of those aspects are may change more to being even, but other ones like your I&T being that strong, won't change probably much, but the biggest thing is simply, that you're aware of what is your strength and also a major hang up and just being conscious of that, but to actually expect or try to change yourself based on the degrees of these 4 aspects wouldn't be natural. Rather, over a period of years, likely as you mature, it will naturally happen, but I'm sure if you do feel as though you've been too much in your comfort zone, you likely are ^^

I'm really happy I read through your post a second time =)

When I took the Myers Briggs test at my University 5 years ago I rolled INFP. Today, the online test places me in ENTJ. After graduation, I spent three years in China. Because I was so passionate about learning Chinese, I had no English speaking friends for about 18 months. My immersion must be responsible for the big shift in personality.

Actually in Korea, there is a disproportionate amount of ENTPs compared to North America;
but that is a huge difference.
But being an ENTJ makes you one effiecient mofo now ^^

ROFL did you seriously just use "the cube" as a serious guide for career advice? That's the pickup gimmick from "the game". You're supposed to use it to try and trick girls in to thinking that you have some profound insight into their personality.

You really need to spend a little more time editing your posts. They just ramble all over the place with no clear point to them, and it takes way too long to figure out what you're trying to say.
Can't believe I'm still here playing this same game
