Personality tests

[AppleHead]

This is something I learned today, but I figured it'd be better if I post it here.

So I was at Citibank earlier, for a job interview. One of the many procedures was a personality test. I came out as an ENTJ, after being an INTJ for so long. Hahahaha. Does that mean I'm "coming out of my shell"?

I'd like to think so.

Congratulations!

Did you know about Myers' theory of cognitive functions?
INTJ is Ni Te Fi Se
ENTJ is Te Ni Se Fi

Therefore it could mean is that you've been using Te (extroverted thinking) more than Ni (introverted intuition). Te is used, for example, when a person scans his or her environment and actively evaluates what can be done with the objects within the vicinity. It may also apply to actions used in sports, wherein a QB has to make split-second decisions about how the play is unfolding and to adjust accordingly.

Ni on the other hand is when you evaluate the possibilities of things that may happen based on your own imagination. In the INTJ or ENTJ mind, Ni works in conjunction with Te by using one's external environment to create unique solutions to problems, or to at least solve conventional logic problems quite thoroughly.

Also related to this, an ENTJ's common weakness would be turning into a control freak because he's so much better in his own mind than everyone else. Ultimately it's up to you to do your own reading and to evaluate where you feel you ought to be. The MBTI evaluation should not define you.
