About Me

A contrarian strategist and poly...

Meyers-Briggs profile. Ha.

As if you couldn't tell...I come out as INTJ. And if you REALLY want to know what that means, here it is:

INTJs generally have the following traits:

· Able to absorb extremely complex theoretical and complex material
· Driven to create order and structure from theoretical abstractions
· Supreme strategists
· Future-oriented
· See the global, “big picture”
· Strong insights and intuitions, which they trust implicitly
· Think “outside the box”
· Value their own opinions over others
· Love difficult theoretical challenges
· Bored when dealing with mundane routine
· Value knowledge and efficiency
· Have no patience with inefficiency and confusion
· Have very high standards for performance, which they apply to themselves and others
· Reserved and detached from others
· Calm, collected and analytical
· Extremely logical and rational
· Original and independent
· Natural leaders, but will follow only those they can fully support
· Creative, ingenious, innovative, and resourceful
· Work best alone and prefer to work alone

And it fits like a glove, even though I try to hide it, and rarely admit any of it to non-family. I especially like the "supreme strategists" part. (I often fool with "Harpoon" - the naval strategy/tactics game - and some of the scenarios I can play so one-sidedly (is that a word?) as to be boring.)
I also used to be a member of the now-defunct Futures Research Society based in California. Hmmm. But who listens anyway?
