EFNJ

I took a Myers-Briggs type test today online, and it determined that I was an EFNJ. Interesting...

Teachers are abstract in their thought and speech, cooperative in their
style of achieving goals, and directive and extraverted in their interpersonal
relations. Learning in the young has to be beckoned forth, teased out from
its hiding place, or, as suggested by the word 'education,' it has to be
'educed.' by an individual with educative capabilities. Such a one is the
eNFj, thus rightly called the educative mentor or Teacher for short. The
Teacher is especially capable of educing or calling forth those inner potentials
each learner possesses. Even as children the Teachers may attract a gathering
of other children ready to follow their lead in play or work. And they
lead without seeming to do so.

Teachers expect the very best of those around them, and this expectation,
usually expressed as enthusiastic encouragement, motivates action in others
and the desire to live up to their expectations. Teachers have the charming
characteristic of taking for granted that their expectations will be met,
their implicit commands obeyed, never doubting that people will want to
do what they suggest. And, more often than not, people do, because this
type has extraordinary charisma.

The Teachers are found in no more than 2 or 3 percent of the population.
They like to have things settled and arranged. They prefer to plan both
work and social engagements ahead of time and tend to be absolutely reliable
in honoring these commitments. At the same time, Teachers are very much
at home in complex situations which require the juggling of much data with
little pre-planning. An experienced Teacher group leader can dream up,
effortlessly, and almost endlessly, activities for groups to engage in,
and stimulating roles for members of the group to play. In some Teachers,
inspired by the responsiveness of their students or followers, this can
amount to genius which other types find hard to emulate. Such ability to
preside without planning reminds us somewhat of an Provider,
but the latter acts more as a master of ceremonies than as a leader of
groups. Providers are natural hosts and hostesses, making sure that each guest is well looked
after at social gatherings, or that the right things are expressed on traditional
occasions, such as weddings, funerals, graduations, and the like. In much
the same way, Teachers value harmonious human relations about all else,
can handle people with charm and concern, and are usually popular wherever
they are. But Teachers are not so much social as educational leaders, interested
primarily in the personal growth and development of others, and less in
attending to their social needs.

These things have been said about me before, not necessarily in such a scientific fashion.

I wonder what personality type is the best goat farmer.
