Extroverted (E) 58.33% Introverted (I) 41.67%
Intuitive (N) 62.5% Sensing (S) 37.5%
Thinking (T) 79.17% Feeling (F) 20.83%
Perceiving (P) 54.17% Judging (J) 45.83%

Your type is: ENTP

ENTP - "Inventor". Enthusiastic interest in everything and always sensitive to possibilities. Non-conformist and innovative. 3.2% of the total population.

Also, had a mini Eureka when today I suddenly realised that the optical nerves crossing in the brain and attaching to either sides of the brain is simply an engineering structure and nothing awe inspiring. Basically its like the Cruciate ligament in the knee joints. It help keeps your brain away from the sides, and in the centre... the good old lobes pointing forward...

I'll have to check it with some research... bet I'm right.

Well, I guess that Eureka is wrong. Looking at the optic nerves (the tissue that connects the eyes to the back of the brain) and reading up, it seems more logical that because we have a blind spot in each eye and that the crossing of eyes enables better protection from predators and is an environmental advantage. I would guess as our brains have grown in size these optic nerves have become much longer.

As with most things, the evolved solution is really a solution to a multi parameter problem. The optic nerves probably do help out with holding the brain in place (and probably more so in babies when they are developing their skulls in early childhood) but I think that is a lessor % of the total solution.

While I have always valued the J function as its about implementation and just doing it, thinking and devising and then following through with an implementation strategy etc....

The problem becomes that once you've reached a certain level (In business or whatever) and if you have billions of ideas and objectives then its more and more a divergence into P. You can only spend your limited time on the biggest of issues and you almost have to allow various forest fires to burn while you concentrate on the most important things.

Its almost like ENTP for massive expansion and green field thinking/progression with the INTJ kicking back in to attenuate and consolidate, putting the logistics and infrastructure in place to keep the delivery systems functioning. Left and right brain kicking off in parallel.

I guess for any NT they probably want to be able to loop the whole NT matrix I/E NT J/P as that gives the most flexibility. Thats what I've always said about improving your weaknesses rather than amplifying your strengths, greater marginal benefit is achievable on your worst traits. (Improving your weaknesses is the ultimate diametrical approach). Hmm... but in a very competitive situation you simply cannot afford to carry weaknesses.. although, I'd say its easier for INTPs and INTJs to do the ENTJ and ENTP position than vice versa (Its easier to become extroverted than to copy a lifetimes cumulative thinking gathered during introversion).

Well, working on some more at the moment.

Hoping to have 5 in a couple of weeks then there's 2 x 16 more pieces about the types that needs to done... maybe 4 and 6 weeks away respectively.

Hmmm....

I've said for quite a while that non 5 ennegram types that are classified as INTJs using the MBTI process are probably non naturals that have forced themselves into that mold.

By this I mean they are natural NTs. Its just that lock themselves into the I/J profile in order to get through all those filtering hoops that exist in the academic system.

INTJs are possibly a number of NT types, those that have cloaked themselves to make it through the system can and do diverge from the traditional INTJ stereotype once they can begin to influence the rules.
