I'm an ESTJ - what are you?

Recently the ad agency where I intern had all the employees take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test - you know, the personality-type test - the one that tells you how introverted or extroverted you are and whether you think with facts or intuition. Anyway, this agency is growing and they are trying to be smart about it too. Everyone talks about cross-collaboration (or at least our BoD breakout session did) and says "to hell with silos" - so it kind of makes sense to do these kind of tests to know who you are working with on a team - or more importantly HOW these people work in order to have good cross-collaboration. The MBTI is interesting stuff - but if you ask me, it's too hard to remember what each combination (ESTP or ISTJ - is supposed to mean or who has what trait and in what order. but then again, that could be because i'm an ESTJ (aka "Life's Natural Administrator") and I think everyone should agree with me anyway. Seriously, this book Type Talk at Work says that my types are "remarkable at just about anything they do" (i agree) and that under stress my type might "become opinionated to the point of losing reason" and "take criticism very personally" (also agree). It seems like this MBTI stuff is pretty true to form; here are some other examples I find telling about my type (of course, I already knew this - this is purely for others to learn [haha]):

• "If anything gets [this type] in trouble, it tends to be their EJ attitude toward life, a type given to freely expressed opinions. They can be surprised when others see things differently, and that can lead to some hearty, even abrasive, arguments. From the ESTJ's perspective, it's an open-and-shut case. Having packaged the argument so neatly and precisely, how could anyone possible disagree?"
• "As Extraverted-Thinking types, they are not only objective in their decision making, they are also up-front and outgoing about those decisions - often to the intimidation of others."
• "Their ET management style is to 'take names and kick ass'."
• "They do not cope well when things do not go as planned. They have no tolerance for disorganization, tardiness, sloppiness, or inappropriate behavior."
• "Their innate compulsivity makes it difficult for ESTJs to relax. It's been said they they are capable of turning reading into competitive sport."

All of this reminded me of one of our first reading assignments in Just's class last year - you, you guessed it: Teams that Click. I wonder how much better some groups would preform if they knew who had what personality? hmmm.
