Re: MBTI

well, there should be some nice overeall description for each of these types as well. Just knowing that ones a KLPD and another one is a SOAB doesnt sound interesting at all. Is there a list covering all combinations with their positive negative points? and can someone post it please.

Dominant Extraverted Sensing
ESTP & ESFP](http://www.personalitypathways.com/images/Invsible.gif)what is it like?

        By Danielle Poirier  

Extraverted sensing types are pragmatic and realistic with a zest for living life to the fullest by way of multiplying experiences. Always on the alert for what needs immediate attention or what might provide a bit of action, excitement or entertainment, they engage quickly with their environment. They seek and enjoy freedom, are good-natured, direct, and tolerant and are often the ones who provide levity.
They have a way with dealing with people on a very equal platform and are not easily star struck. Rank, celebrity and status mean little when they are face to face with another individual.
On the job, they appreciate having the right tools and are quite ingenious at finding ways to fix and repair things with dexterity. They love variety and are curious and adventurous, enjoying the unexpected. Their brand of extraversion is one of deeds rather than words. As long as things are moving along, they are happy. They like to keep things simple and immediate, going with the flow. They are helpful in very concrete ways, providing the correct tools or specific service the person requires. They often have an uncanny ability to respond appropriately in cases of emergencies, often having excellent reflexes. They act without thinking. They also tend to have natural mediating skills.
They are attuned to the environment and the myriad colours, textures, sounds, beauty and the sensuousness of it all. They are quite graceful and agile while moving through their environment. They love having fun and if things are too quiet they may provide the entertainment or distraction. They learn by imitation and are keen observers. They teach through example. Their attention will always go towards whatever provides the keenest impression on their senses.

Alright. Thanks to those who shared their MBTI here. A summary is as follows. I have grouped Extraverts and Introverts together as that is one of the most dominant Indicator

MBTI is widely used to understand differences in personalities. This, in turn, helps managers and leaders to get more productivity out of their teams. What the characteristics of each Indicator clearly show is that there is no right or wrong. No one is saying you need to change. There are sixteen possible combinations here and you can be a terrific performer and leader regardless of which combination you have.

Having said that, experts can deduce your MBTI even without you taking any formal scoring or test for that. They have defined MBTI for famous people based on their writings, letters etc.

George Washington (ESFJ)
Mother Teresa (ISFJ)
Mohandas Gandhi (INFJ)
Napoleon Bonaparte (ENTJ)
Dwight D. Eisenhower (INTJ)
Albert Einstein (INTP)
Elvis Presley (ESFP)
Madonna (ESTP)
Clint Eastwood (ISTP)
Johnny Carson (ISFP)
Colin Powell (ESTJ)

Notice that Johnny Carson and Clint Eastwood are 'I', while being famous show-business persons. So 'I' doesn't mean these people don't enjoy socializing or can't be the life of a party. It just means after the party, they need their own time to "recharge".

Coming back to Guppies, I have met Muzna, faizy and cat-woman. Even without meeting them in person, just based on their life-stories as shared on GS and reading about their lives, one can easily deduce that they are going to be 'E'. Similarly, Carebear's "I" is not surprising. Kaka's "I" is a bit unexpected. 5Abi's "I" is understandable, though a bit unexpected. Most people who spend a lot of time behind computer screens (a.k.a. geeks) are likely to be I's, but not always. There are very few N's, and to be honest, I'd have expected CB to be an N. I'd have guessed Muzna to be a definite "J", and she turns out to be a "P". Oh well!

Re: MBTI

Faisal bhai, you're right. I am an N. INFJ.
