I’m an ENTJ. Don’t bother looking for clues to this code on UrbanDictionary.com. These letters represent one of 16 personality types identified in the Myers Briggs personality profile test. Identifying personality traits is a key element in leadership and team work. Learn more about my experience in the first session of the 2011 Leadership San Ramon Valley experience in the Editor’s Blog.




However, if you Google ENTJ you’ll get about 116,000 hits. Not really all that obscure.
Dear Dolores:
Myers Briggs Translation of Emily’s Personality Type:
Extraversion (E)
iNtuition (N)
Thinking (T)
Judging (J)
These are stereotypical, general categories that do not consider the individuality of the Emily.

Hal is correct. A real concern of using Myers-Briggs is that a person may be prone to engaging in self-fulfilling categorizations, of their own and of others. People’s personalities just don’t fit into neat little boxes:
Extrovert – Introvert
Sensing – Intuitive
Thinking – Feeling
Judging – Perceiving
M-B is taken to be nothing more than a psychological parlor game these days. Fun, but of dubious real world value.
