So back in college, the Career Services Office- powered by Sandi George Useless and her minions- made me take that Myers-Briggs thing for like the millionth time in an effort to see what career I'm best suited for. Man were those predictions way off, but anyway.
I was revisiting my personality type, which happens to be ENFJ. I have recently been mulling over (and lamenting) my seeming lack of ability to keep my room and my workspaces clean. I mean, I'm not living in squalor or anything, but I can't seem to get my room to the point where you can actually see the carpet (which I think is blue, but it's been a while). And then I re-read my Myers-Briggs type analysis by Joe Butt (*heehee*), and the following made so much sense to me:

And then I re-read my Myers-Briggs type analysis by Joe Butt (*heehee*), and the following made so much sense to me:
ENFJs are, by definition, Js, with whom we associate organization and decisiveness. But they don't resemble the SJs or even the NTJs in organization of the environment nor occasional recalcitrance. ENFJs are organized in the arena of interpersonal affairs. Their offices may or may not be cluttered, but their conclusions (reached through feelings) about people and motives are drawn much more quickly and are more resilient than those of their NFP counterparts.
So there you have it. Apparently, I make complete sense psychologically. And to think I once cursed Mr. Myers and Mr. Briggs for coming up with their personality inventory. Now if we could just get to the bottom of my abandonment issues and my fear of being alone, I might resemble a normal human being :^P Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to throw some more papers on the floor and go not be recalcitrant.
Some famous ENFJs: King David, Ronald Reagan, Ross Perot, Francois Mitterand, Oprah Winfrey, Peyton Manning, and (my hero) Sean Connery.
