The difficulty with tests is if the individual responds with a preference, instead of responding by preference. And it's true, many online tests are crap.
mcb, correct me if I'm wrong but I think she "prefers" to be the stereotypical ENTJ since it would mean she is or will be successful in business. Success to her appears to equate to money which equates to creature comforts. This evaluation comes from mcb and my discussion in another thread, where she resented others with more, coveting their material goods.
Only an EXTP would call himself Mr. Cockburn.
Sorry. Had to say it. ;D
Hahaha, that's actually something that I don't really see... Maybe it's tertiary idea again, or the fact that she starts off with the ENTJ description, but I do see directive more than informative in her approach and more organized than what I imagine an ESTP being, however it's difficult for me to tell ESTP's.
Doesn't mean we can't pretend.
Mr.Cockburn, your thread is now a poetry session between Halla and Jena
Do you have to believe in something to actually promote it? You mentioned marketing. This questions is based on that. I fyou answer this I could narrow it down to ONE option out of the above mentioned 3 options.
ESTPs are directing, ENTPs are informing
ENTJ:
-100% driven, goal-oriented and committed to making my impact on the world at large. I've been diligently working on my business, which is quickly expanding.
-I absolutely need to have loose ends tied, I don't like things hanging around half-done, it slows things down and they're more things to worry about.
-I am VERY decisive. I always have my end goal in mind and I intend to quickly figure out what will get me there, what won't, and what would hamper me.
-I plan everything I undertake, taking into account resources/time constraints/people available to assist/money/needs/deadlines. I can improvise, but that's really not ideal.
ENTP:
-An actual inventor (have patents)
-I don't necessarily think in a step-by-step way. Sometimes I'll think of a conclusion that seems correct to me, and when I verify it, it turns out I was right. Ne leap!
ESTP:
-Love taking in the environment, the 5 raw senses of it, just for the sake of it. Good food, good music, good sex.
-very skilled at marketing.
-While I prefer for things to go according to plan, I can be adaptable if that's what the situation requires.
-I'm very practical, very down-to-earth. While I have a vivid imagination, I need to connect my musings with how I can implement them into reality to change it for the better.

Your avi here is hysterically disturbing.
ENTP
I almost posted ''wtf are you talking about'' but you are right. I thought all Ps could be classified as informatives, but looks like STPs are classified as directives. I still keep my vote, as I was thinking along the lines of ''not as directive as an ENTJ and not as informative as an ENTP'' (if that makes any sense).
it's true, a lot of people make this mistake. directive/informative is also much more personal preference and communication style than anything else. an ENFP in corporate upper management is probably going to have a more directing personality than an ENFJ who is a marriage councilor
