So I was doing my weekly reading for my business class… yes, as I find myself explaining all the time: business classes don’t really teach you anything groundbreaking. It’s all very much common sense. But it’s one thing to know something from life experiences and another thing to analyze that knowledge and internalize it…
In any case, I digress. I was doing my reading and I came across this part that mentioned that Fortune 500 CEOs tend to be ENTJs and that this type of personality is quite rare… somewhere around 3% of the population, actually, and that this makes all the difference between middle management and senior management.
Then I couldn’t shake the idea to take the MTBI test again, since the last time I took it was during senior year of high school. I took it, and lo and behold I scored as a mild ENTJ type (I guess “mild” because the Extravert part hardly edges out Introvert, and Thinking is a meager 1% higher than Feeling).
What a difference ten years makes. Back then, I would have never been considered an Extravert. And it’s funny now that people who have met me after college think of me as a “people person.” My 18-year-old self would scoff and call me a sellout.
And in return, I would smile and tell that 18-year-old snob to get over himself.
