BIG PICTURE PROBLEM SOLVERS There are two phases of most projects or meetings: 1) the vision and strategy setting stage; and 2) the execution stage. INTJs tend to gravitate towards the former. Highly future focused, out-of-the-box, logic-driven thinkers, few can match the INTJ’s capacity when it comes to doing what they love – developing long-term strategies and solving complex problems that involve a lot of moving pieces. An INTJ’s mind is unconventional and unrestricted by previous approaches or traditional thinking. PERFECTIONISTIC, FOCUSED “Good enough” is not typically part of the vocabulary of an INTJ. They have extremely high standards for both themselves and others, and a tremendous stamina for hard work. They constantly push themselves to achieve […]
UNIQUE, CREATIVE, UNCONVENTIONAL There’s no doubt about it, INFPs are unique. They lead their lives according to an inner compass that can often lead them off the beaten path and in their own direction. INFPs are also gifted with a creative spark that allows them to generate new, unconventional and even revolutionary ideas. Their thoughts and ideas are frequently focused on people, and they have an easy time relating to – and understanding – their fellow human beings. In fact, INFPs often appear to have an x-ray vision into the inner-workings of other people. Most successful INFPs attribute success to an innate ability to flex their style to meet others more than halfway. This makes them […]
CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVERS, IDEA GENERATORS INFJs are “idea generators” much more than they are “detail people,” and they love to discover “win-win” solutions that have a long term positive impact on people. There are two phases of most projects or meetings: 1) the initial “big picture,” “vision setting” stage; and 2) the logistics or “action items” stage. Highly intellectually curious, INFJs shine during the former, and gain much more energy from “noodling” abstract concepts and ideas than doing straightforward detail-based execution. They spend more time than most reflecting on the complex nuances or shades of grey in issues. While they are perfectionists with exceptional work ethics, INFJs report that remembering concrete details shared verbally is […]
GET RESULTS . . . WHILE HAVING FUN ESTPs are action oriented, results focused people who want to dive right into projects and get to the finish line via the most direct route. But the process shouldn’t be a chore! ESTPs are gifted with the ability to make just about any activity fun and playful, and they are at their best when they are focused on practical, realistic goals that can be achieved in a relaxed group effort (although some competition is usually good for an extra boost). ESTPs live life in a straightforward and open way, and have a good time while getting the job done. EYE FOR PRACTICAL DETAIL When they are paying attention, virtually […]
FAST, OUTSPOKEN & PRODUCTIVE ESTJs are one of THE most high energy, talkative types, and perhaps no type can top an ESTJ when it comes to speed. Whether it is walking, talking, executing, deciding – you name it – they are the fastest. ESTJs typically accomplish more by lunchtime then most people accomplish in a day, and can become addicted to being “productive” and checking things off their personal or work “to do” list every minute, if they aren’t careful. ESTJs are highly outgoing and open to sharing about their lives, and are much more likely than their ISTJ colleagues to “think out loud” and leave few relevant thoughts unspoken. EXECUTION & CLOSURE […]
