My "Personality"


Ok, who doesn't LOVE personality tests?  We all do, admit it.  The dumb/funny thing is that they tell us what we already know about ourselves...I think the fun comes from the accuracy in them.  I took a couple today (I'm busy avoiding other things I should be doing).  Here's my results....(with my commentary added)....

Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator
ENTP
Extraverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving

-ENTPs are frequently described as clever, cerebrally and verbally quick, enthusiastic, outgoing, innovative, and resourceful. (I totally agree)
-ENTPs are motivated by a desire to understand and improve the world they live in. (True)
-They are usually accurate in sizing up a situation. (Yes, except for boys)
-They may have a perverse sense of humor (definitely) and sometimes play devil's advocate, which can create misunderstandings with friends, coworkers, and family. (all too often)
-ENTPs are ingenious and adept at directing relationships between means and ends. (I think this is true...Kat, is it?)
-ENTPs 'think outside the box,' devising fresh, unexpected solutions to difficult problems.(absolutely) However, they are less interested in generating and following through with detailed plans than in generating ideas and possibilities. (unfortunately also true)
-ENTPs are quick to see complex interrelationships between people, things, and ideas. (I have a talent with this) These interrelationships are analyzed in profound detail. (Oh my gosh, YES) The result is an in-depth understanding of the way things and relationships work, and how they can be improved. (I try)

Best College Majors 

1. Law 
(have definitely considered it, sometimes still do)
2. Political Science 
(my original college major)
3. Communication 
(seems like a natural fit)

We are the same. That's all.

maybe instead of a lawyer you should become an accountant so you can do "taxies."
