Unifying Strengths of Myers-Briggs Types

[ygolo]

If you had to summarize all the good qualities of all the people you knew in real life of a particular type into one trait, what would it be.


If you don't know enough people in real life of a particular type, then don't mention the type.

Here are two examples from me:

INFPs - Lead lives congruent with their Ideals.
ISTJs - Dependable.

Does that make sense?

I am curious.

It would be more useful for me than the current lists of sthrengths I've found.

 

[INTJMom]

INFP - airhead... err... umm... I mean ... great pretenders

 

[Jive A Turkey]

INFP - airhead... err... umm... I mean ... great pretenders

Damn!

INFP - Apparently damned.

 

[Zergling]

ESTJ: Can take care of boring details over and over and over, and do it well. When they know how to do something, they get it done quickly and efficiently. Have an easy time putting in needed work.

INFP - airhead... err... umm... I mean ... great pretenders

Pretending was their unifying strength?

 

[INTJMom]

Pretending was their unifying strength?

I was trying to be concise. I actually meant to say the ability to set up their own alternate universe and live in complete denial of reality.

This trait comes in handy on the job site.

ISFJ-caretakers
ISTJ-determination
ESTP-plain speech
ENFP-love of life

 

[Jae Rae]

ENTP - renegade
INTJ - I already know that
ESFP - where's the party?
INTP - I don't want to go to any dumb party
ISTP - I can fix it

 

[INTJMom]

ENTP - renegade
INTJ - I already know that
ESFP - where's the party?
INTP - I don't want to go to any dumb party
ISTP - I can fix it

Excellent!

 

[INTJMom]

If you had to summarize all the good qualities ...

OH! GOOD qualities!

I'm an INTJ. I don't see good qualities.

 

[Jae Rae]

OH! GOOD qualities!

I missed that, too.

OK, revision:

ENTP - Hey, I've got a wild idea!
INTP - I know a rational solution
ENFP - Tell me your troubles
ISFJ - Yes, I can bring a casserole
ENTJ - I can tell what your problem is

Jae Rae

 

[Jae Rae]

OH! GOOD qualities!

I'm an INTJ. I don't see good qualities.

I don't believe you.

Revision:

INTJ - I know that. They're information-gatherers. I've never been able to tell my INTJ friend something she didn't already know. Her ENTP husband confirms this view.

Well, no.

Would you say that about Ghandi? (definately INFP)
Or sister Helen Prejean? (definately domfi)
Or the rest of the admirable INFP's
