Re: yay!
Sat, December 27, 2003 - 2:31 AMactually, its not as wierd as it might seem at first, because field marshall does not always imply a "here-I-am"..
a real field marshall often reveals himself only to those that he finds advantage in revealing himself to
..and, if anything, shuns unnecessary publicity.
the extrovert part means that he is perfectly capable of presenting a competent face to the public or to any number of people necessary to his plans. the thinking part means he will use this skill because he means to, not because he can't help it. and the judgement part means he may even find indiscriminate contact somewhat distasteful.
disclaimer: i believe this jungian typing is more accurate than the old freudian crap, because it allows for more variety, but its still far from adequate to describe the almost limitless subtleties of personality. IMO its still more parlor trick than true science.. but its fun. -

Tue, March 2, 2004 - 8:42 AMI'm only very mildly extroverted, according to these tests.
I think, though, that this just means I enjoy introversion almost as much as extrroversion, but don't necessarily enjoy extroversion less than a hardcore extrovert.
Possible? -

Tue, August 29, 2006 - 5:18 AMAnythings Possible Josh you know that.......it's all about how far your willing to go to make it possible. ';)
Any way I could go on and on about how I can never preference my internal universe over the external one or underplay the role of the internal on the external, or I could wax wittastic, about how dead set I am on not being able to make up my mind about whether or not I should be set or explore my options, of eing set oro exploring my options....um...yeah.
right there with you Josh

Wed, March 24, 2004 - 8:01 PMThis is the best description that I've heard in awhile.
We had to do personality testing in grad school and I was kind of surprised that I scored so high in this category. However, when you describe it as J does, "only reveals oneself when it is to his advantage", it makes better sense.
I constantly find that I see people doing things that could be better/easier done another way. Usually, I just let it slide, unless it so f'ed up that it absolutely must be fixed. Then I step up.
The other scenario is when all hell breaks lose. Most people go into panic. I go into Field Marshall mode and start picking up the pieces and putting shit back in working order.
At least that's the way it looks to me from my rose colored sun glasses. -

Re: yay!
Wed, March 24, 2004 - 9:03 PMThat's a trait of mine, too.
When everything is completely FUBAR and everyone else is losing their minds, *that's* when I shine.
But when it's Business As Usual, I pretty much just coast. No sense in letting people know you're competent at the wrong times. It just ends up tripling or quadrupling your workload! :->
My ENTJ younger son has a strategy that works, as far as fixing things that are broken: Figure out how to fix it, and tell your plan to someone who's unscrupulous and ambitious! They'll take your idea, get the thing fixed, and take the credit, but what do *you* care? At least it's fixed.

Thu, March 25, 2004 - 1:13 AMOut the way it's put here, I think ENTJ is definitely me.
I let everyone fuck up to the point where they realize they need me to do something, and then I do EVERYTHING myself.

Re: yay!
Tue, November 30, 2004 - 8:35 AMI am a solid ENTJ thats VERY E and VERY J
I tend to be the natural leader in any group and tend to be the assumed leader even when I do not wish to be or I am not technicaly in charge. Yes I shine in a crisis and I shine leading anything the bigger the better. I am very sociable and inviting and friendly yet I can turn and be very firm and opninated. Its true I reveal my self carefully but on the other hand I am so E (87%) that most assume my out there exuberante personality is all there is. I have dated 2 ENTJ's and both were less E than I neither worked out and both were very diffrent. -
