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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
