<p>Sure, cobrat. May I take your coat? ;)</p>
<p>This is the most fun I’ve had here since the green squares thread!</p>
<p>cobrat: all the ENTJs I know fit that description just about perfectly.</p>
<p>Now, now… the golden retreiver reference was uncalled for. Although my introverted D2 has stated clearly that SHE is a cat, while she considered extroverted D1 a dog.</p>
<p>I took two of the free online assessments and came out - </p>
<p>ESFP and ENTP</p>
<p>I think the smiley study would focus more on frequency of use and number of smileys. that would account for the less frequent ‘just kidding’ smileys that most everyone employs once in awhile. LI, funny you bring up the greenie topic, I feel like those CC’ers most attracted to that game were E’s…it brought us out of the woodwork!! :)</p>
<p>I like golden retrievers! I consider them to be typical happy, outgoing creatures. No offense intended by the smiley categorization. </p>
<p>I think all cats are I’s.</p>
<p>We have 2 dogs, no cats. The dogs get us out of the house.</p>
<p>Not sure about the green squares attracting "E"s more, I am an “I” and I LOVED the green squares.</p>
<p>I have two E cats…</p>
<p>I think a lot of the Myers Briggs stuff is BS, but I have doubt I’m an extrovert. However, I had no interest at all in the greenies and never use emoticons.</p>
<p>I am a big style’s fan and have all my friends “categorized” BUT THE PETS???
People you crack me up…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>shyparentalunit, you said earlier you are very much an “I”. Are you sure the cats aren’t just a little further toward the “E” side than you are? 
Hmm, maybe we do need to develop the MB equivalent for pets. Bet we could get people to pay for it!</p>

<p>It’s been done (which is not to say that you couldn’t make a living as a “pet personality consultant” who offers “compatibility advice”:</p>

<p>Owl meerkat! I wonder about individual breeds - golden retrievers are indeed very ENFJ, but it seems like a beagle, let’s say, might be different. </p>
<p>I was thinking of starting a “classify the fictional character” game on this thread. Sherlock Holmes, for instance, is a classic INTP, and Sheldon Cooper a classic INTJ. Anyone?</p>
<p>Saw Consolation’s call for poll answers on another thread. I haven’t read through the entire thread, but I’m an INTP, very strong on the INT and borderline on the P/J.</p>

<p><em>Hands over jacket belonging to a random Wall Street ibanker. It is stuffed with some Marxist-Leninist-Maoist writings by unknown parties as a practical joke on him.</em> :D</p>
<p>For fun, I just did an online Big Five test. </p>
<p>Openness - 96th percentile
Conscientiousness - 6th percentile
Extroversion - 2nd percentile (!!!)
Agreeableness - 27th percentile
Neuroticism - 22nd percentile</p>
<p>Not sure about correspondences - I think Conscientiousness roughly corresponds to J, Extroversion to E obviously, and Openness to N. Agreebleness and Neuroticism are both mapped to F, I think, but the correspondence is fairly weak.</p>

<p>Even as a P, I have always hated going out shopping – too much random running around for good enough vs. slightly better than good enough. Online shopping or online research before heading to the local store, on the other hand, often appeals to me: it’s nice to compare features side by side at the same moment because your perception of the value of those combined features can change over time if you’re exhausted or because you have become more discerning as you have become more knowledgeable.</p>

<p>This is exactly what I did during my heavy travel years. I used to travel about 8 weeks a year, in two or three separate time blocks, and had “the world at my fingers” in the form of an 80-volume set of Lonely Planet travel guides that filled 4 bookshelves. I’d skim through the guides to determine must-sees and nearby-and-interesting lists. Then I’d look for airfare bargains and country crises that made visiting a special bargain (for example, Peru was really cheap during a cholera epidemic and Maoist uprising, neither of which much affected their key travel destinations). I came up with some really complicated routings at times – SE Asia via Europe or Southern Africa via Australia, plus a round-the-world trip, a portion of which took me from Egypt to India to Nepal to Thailand in sequence.</p>
<p>When I tried to actually map a particular country’s “best of” list to actual flights between destinations (many of which were only once or twice a week), a lot of compromises had to be made. This didn’t bother me too much, since I considered these first exposures as “samples” to return to if they proved to be appealing. But once on the ground, everything I had long planned in that country was sometimes tossed and replaced if I found other things to draw my immediate attention. </p>
<p>I found that it was, in fact, the little unexpected things that made independent travel so interesting: the Taj Mahal, for example, looks just like you’d expect from seeing the traditional photos – the most memorable thing I saw there that day was the ox-drawn grass mower used to keep the place looking neat. In Karnak, Egypt, the temples were stunning, but the most memorial thing I did during those couple of days was to buy an English-speaking 9-year-old homeless girl I’d met some food and her first pair of shoes ever – and have to haggle hard with the local merchants who thought I would be a sucker willing to way overpay.</p>

<p>What a cool job, pelicularities! That gives you the opportunity to temporarily participate as an insider in nearly any field you find interesting.</p>
<p>As mentioned earlier, I am INFP. QMP is ENFP. We get along well in all ways except when it comes to anything that splits E/I.</p>
<p>With regard to the Myers-Briggs classification, my spouse is VGNP–Very Grumpy, Not Participating.</p>
