darn you, myers-briggs

Turns out Myers-Briggs knows me pretty well. I’m an ESFJ, aka, a helper or provider. Myers-Briggs says that I’m well suited to be a nurturer of established institutions such as schools, businesses and, yep, you guessed it, churches. Myers-Briggs also says that I’m sensitive in all the right ways - to other people’s plight - and in all the wrong ways - to what others think of me. Darn you, Myers-Briggs, you know me so well.

A friend of mine came across an article in which the three presidential candidates are examined based upon  the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. John McCain is an ESTP – a promoter.  His speech is concrete and he is utilitarian in achieving goals. He gets people to do things. You should note that John McCain shares the ESTP platform with George W Bush. I’m just sayin’. Hillary Clinton is an ENTJ or rather, a fieldmarshal. She has the ability to visualize where the organization is going and can communicate that to others. Finally, Barak Obama is an ENFP. I kid you not that the moniker given ENFPs is that of champion. I don’t think I need to say anything more about that.

So what are you? Don’t know? Well go here and take a sample test and it’ll spit out the type of person you are. Then come back here and tell me, Does Myers-Briggs get it right?
