nice to meet you, i'm entj

i'm a bit of a skeptic when it comes to personality tests as most of the ones i've seen are in cosmo, but as part of the management development training course i'm on we had a day of *self discovery* on monday.

i was shocked to know that my profile was bang on:
extraversion, inuiting, thinking, judging

and it stated the following things about me, which are *so* true!
- like to engage in intellectually stimulating exchanges
- like and respect people who challen them and have little or no respect for those who don't (am i not *always* saying i need a partner that challenges me?)
- dislike inefficiency, incompetence and indecisiveness (it does drive me batty)
- workaholics (i think the 11 days straight of work i just did, plus the fact that i'm still here at 6 pm on a friday demonstrates that one)
- not likely to be convinced by anything by good, solid reasoning (let's see some evidence)

what i'm like in relationships:
- honest, direct and straighforward (yup)
- live life with gusto and enthusiasm (bring on the red wine and whisky)
- have a gregarious fun-loving side as well as a serious driven side (i'm a gemini after all...)
- want relationships to be an opportunity for learning (i want *everything* to be...i'm a learning officer)
- encourage people they care about to improve themselves (again with the learning)
- can be intimidating, blunt and abrasive andhide their soft, sentimental side (yup)

and it suggested i do the following things to lead a happier life:
- avoid driving others as hard as i drive myself (yeah...okay)
- schedule time everyday for rest and relaxation (yoga please)
- enjoy the moment for what it is, not for what you can make of it or how you can structure it (yes, i know i need to do this. i can be a bit *monica*)
- leave my need to control at the doorstep when i come home
- be aware of your effect on others (my effect?) and avoid appearing overly confident and aggressive

but overall i'm:
- dynamic, energetic, confident, confident, knowledgeable and like to be in charge

anyway, thought that would make a few people nod their heads in agreement. i'm doing a bit of house hunting this weekend, but hopefully just taking some time to relax. i'm tired. it's been a long 11 day week.
