I might as well get paid for it...


So what do I want to do? Im not sure, but it would be spiffy to do what I LIKE to do and be paid for it. I like a lot of things, but I think if I were to get paid for them and it be a job they might loose their fun-ness and it become more like work. So maybe something Im good at and can do easily and just have hobbies. Okay, what am I good at? Well, lol, making plans, organizing things, and telling people what to do based on their skill and the needs of the task. But unless Kim wins the lottery and I can be her life-coach then Im stuck finding a real job.

Okay so Im taking PD 115, which is designed to help us figure out who we are and what we want to do with our lives. I had to take a personality test, this is hysterical, I could have saved myself the test and just skiped to the end, but here I am:

Extraverted iNtuitive Thinking Judging


"I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?"

ENTJs have a natural tendency to marshall and direct. This may be expressed with the charm and finesse of a world leader or with the insensitivity of a cult leader. The ENTJ requires little encouragement to make a plan. One ENTJ put it this way... "I make these little plans that really don't have any importance to anyone else, and then feel compelled to carry them out." While "compelled" may not describe ENTJs as a group, nevertheless the bent to plan creatively and to make those plans reality is a common theme for NJ types.

ENTJs are often "larger than life" in describing their projects or proposals. This ability may be expressed as salesmanship, story-telling facility or stand-up comedy. In combination with the natural propensity for filibuster, our hero can make it very difficult for the customer to decline.

ENTJs are decisive. They see what needs to be done, and frequently assign roles to their fellows. Few other types can equal their ability to remain resolute in conflict, sending the valiant (and often leading the charge) into the mouth of hell. When challenged, the ENTJ may by reflex become argumentative. Alternatively (s)he may unleash an icy gaze that serves notice: the ENTJ is not one to be trifled with.
