And how do you feel about the accuracy of their assessment?

Well from reading some books on Myers-Briggs, and doing some of the self-assessments in there, I've always guessed I was an E?TP -- and that about fits what they got with the test.

le *sigh*

LJ line-broke my E?TP block at the punctuation. I needed a non-breaking question mark...wonder if html has one? Not worth looking, I don't think.

And how do you feel about the summary? Fiercely competitive? Entrepreneur? Shock value for attention's sake?

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

Well, the summary is... exagerated, caricature. But any 3 sound-byte summary of a personality type will be.

While not fiercely competitive... I do have a strong competitive streak (just ask anyone who has gamed with me). Entrepreneur, nope. Shock value...not really. So, reasonably matching one of three sound-bytes as part of a (really, quite complex) classification system is ok.

Maybe I'm less upset as I've actually read a couple books on Myers-Briggs personality types, so have a better idea what it means/refers to.

I'd like to see the ENTP summary as well... to compare and contrast.
