A friend from work recommended a book to me called “Please Understand Me II” about the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. If you have ever taken the test you were most likely fascinated by the insight it gives into your personality. If you haven’t taken the test you can do it online. Anyway, the book is really fascinating and I recommend it if you are interested in that kind of thing. If you were wondering, I am a INTJ.

I = introverted and reserved
N = intuitive and introspective
T = thinking and tough-minded
J = judging and scheduling

A couple tidbits about the INTJ:

1. Difficulties are highly stimulating to INTJ’s who love responding to a problems that require a creative solution.

2. When planning, the INTJ is completely open-minded and will entertain any idea holding promise of utility.

3. Only ideas that make sense to them are adopted: those that don’t are disgarded regardless of who the author is.

4. INTJ’s aren’t distracted by slogans, buzzwords, celebrity, credentials and measure everything against what can add practical value to a project.

5. They can become single-minded at times and can drive others as hard as they drive themselves. This can result in an impression that the INTJ is demanding and difficult to satisfy.

6. INTJ’s are certain that both internal and external consistency are indispensable in a well-run orgainization.

7. INTJs apply (often ruthlessly) the criterion “Does it work?” to everything from their own research efforts to the prevailing social norms.
