The Champion Idealists (http://keirsey.com/personality/nf.html) are abstract in thought and speech, cooperative in accomplishing their aims, and informative and expressive when relating with others. For Champions, nothing occurs which does not have some deep ethical significance, and this, coupled with their uncanny sense of the motivations of others, gives them a talent for seeing life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil. This type is found in only about 3 percent of the general population, but they have great influence because of their extraordinary impact on others. Champions are inclined to go everywhere and look into everything that has to do with the advance of good and the retreat of evil in the world. They can't bear to miss out on what is going on around them; they must experience, first hand, all the significant social events that affect our lives. And then they are eager to relate the stories they've uncovered, hoping to disclose the "truth" of people and issues, and to advocate causes. This strong drive to unveil current events can make them tireless in conversing with others, like fountains that bubble and splash, spilling over their own words to get it all out.
Champions consider intense emotional experiences as being vital to a full life, although they can never quite shake the feeling that a part of themselves is split off, uninvolved in the experience. Thus, while they strive for emotional congruency, they often see themselves in some danger of losing touch with their real feelings, which Champions possess in a wide range and variety. In the same vein, Champions strive toward a kind of spontaneous personal authenticity, and this intention always to "be themselves" is usually communicated nonverbally to others, who find it quite attractive. All too often, however, Champions fall short in their efforts to be authentic, and they tend to heap coals of fire on themselves, berating themselves for the slightest self-conscious role-playing.

ENTP- The Innovator.

ENTPs are known for their quest of the novel and complex. They have faith in their ability to improvise and to overcome any challenges that they face. They are highly independent, and value adaptability and innovation. They may be several steps ahead of others in encouraging and valuing change. They hate uninspired routine and resist hierarchical and bureaucratic structures that are not functional. They need freedom for action.

The Portrait of the Teacher Idealist (eNFj)
RATIONAL
ARTISAN
IDEALIST
GUARDIAN

Copyrighted © 1996-2007 Prometheus Nemesis Book Company



The Idealists called Teachers are abstract in their thought and speech, cooperative in their style of achieving goals, and directive and expressive 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.

The Portrait of the FieldMarshal Rational (eNTj)

Of the four aspects of strategic analysis and definition, it is marshalling or situational organizing role that reaches the highest development in Fieldmarshals. As this kind of role is practiced some contingency organizing is necessary, so that the second suit of the Fieldmarshal's intellect is devising contingency plans. Structural and functional engineering, though practiced in some degree in the course of organizational operations, tend to be not nearly as well developed and are soon outstripped by the rapidly growing skills in organizing. But it must be said that any kind of strategic exercize tends to bring added strength to engineering as well as organizing skills.

As the organizing capabilities the Fieldmarshal increase so does their desire to let others know about whatever has come of their organizational efforts. So they tend to take up a directive role in their social exchanges. On the other hand they have less and less desire, if they ever had any, to inform others.

Hardly more than two percent of the total population, the Fieldmarshals are bound to lead others, and from an early age they can be observed taking command of groups. In some cases, Fieldmarshals simply find themselves in charge of groups, and are mystified as to how this happened. But the reason is that Fieldmarshals have a strong natural urge to give structure and direction wherever they are -- to harness people in the field and to direct them to achieve distant goals. They resemble Supervisors in their tendency to establish plans for a task, enterprise, or organization, but Fieldmarshals search more for policy and goals than for regulations and procedures.

They cannot not build organizations, and cannot not push to implement their goals. When in charge of an organization, whether in the military, business, education, or government, Fieldmarshals more than any other type desire (and generally have the ability) to visualize where the organization is going, and they seem able to communicate that vision to others. Their organizational and coordinating skills tends to be highly developed, which means that they are likely to be good at systematizing, ordering priorities, generalizing, summarizing, at marshalling evidence, and at demonstrating their ideas. Their ability to organize, however, may be more highly developed than their ability to analyze, and the Fieldmarshal leader may need to turn to an Inventor or Architect to provide this kind of input.

Fieldmarshals will usually rise to positions of responsibility and enjoy being executives. They are tireless in their devotion to their jobs and can easily block out other areas of life for the sake of their work. Superb administrators in any field -- medicine, law, business, education, government, the military -- Fieldmarshals organize their units into smooth-functioning systems, planning in advance, keeping both short-term and long-range objectives well in mind. For the Fieldmarshals, there must always be a goal-directed reason for doing anything, and people's feelings usually are not sufficient reason. They prefer decisions to be based on impersonal data, want to work from well thought-out plans, like to use engineered operations -- and they expect others to follow suit. They are ever intent on reducing bureaucratic red tape, task redundancy, and aimless confusion in the workplace, and they are willing to dismiss employees who cannot get with the program and increase their efficiency. Although Fieldmarshals are tolerant of established procedures, they can and will abandon any procedure when it can be shown to be ineffective in accomplishing its goal. Fieldmarshals root out and reject ineffectiveness and inefficiency, and are impatient with repetition of error.

As a long time student of this method, I find it is very helpful. When you post your results, it lets me learn more about you. It helps me understand you people better, so I know how to place my help and support better.

I think it also helps us understand each other when we're having differences. For example, Feeler types and Thinker types often end up in disagreements. Feelers end up calling Thinkers 'cold' and 'heartless'. Thinkers can't figure out what's making the Feelers so upset. That kind of thing.

I was thinking that there would be a disproportionate number of NF types on this board, like ENFPs, etc. NF types are very relationship driven and place a high value on supporting each other, etc. The board has that kind of 'feel' to it.

It can also help you define yourself, not because it tells you who you are, but sometimes because it's missing the mark, and, when it does, you feel it and know it, and so understand yourself better. But then, I probably think / feel that because of the type of person I am. LOL

********************

The in-depth descriptions get quite lengthy but there are some parts which are true of me:


Providers are extremely sensitive to the feelings of others, which makes them perhaps the most sympathetic of all the types, but which also leaves them rather self-conscious, that is, highly sensitive to what others think of them. Because of this Providers can be crushed by personal criticism, and will work most effectively when given ample appreciation both for themselves personally and for the service they give to others.
All else being equal, ESFJs enjoy being in charge. They see problems clearly and delegate easily, work hard and play with zest. ESFJs, as do most SJs, bear strong allegiance to rights of seniority. They willingly provide service (which embodies life's meaning) and expect the same from others.
ESFJs are easily wounded. And when wounded, their emotions will not be contained. They by nature "wear their hearts on their sleeves," often exuding warmth and bonhomie, but not infrequently boiling over with the vexation of their souls.
Strong, contradictory forces consume the ESFJ. Their sense of right and wrong wrestles with an overwhelming rescuing, 'mothering' drive.
An ESFJ at odds with self is a remarkable sight. When a decision must be made, especially one involving the risk of conflict (abhorrent to ESFJs), there ensues an in-house wrestling match between the aforementioned black-and-white Values and the Nemesis of Discord. The contender pits self against self, once firmly deciding with the Right, then switching to Prudence to forestall hostilities, countered by unswerving Values, ad exhaustium, winner take all.


Interesting stuff!

I don't think the "introverted" in this case actually applies to one's social personna. It's more how you perceive the world, either internally against your own self or externally against others.

The terms Introvert and Extravert (normally spelled 'extrovert' outside of the Myers-Briggs context) are referred to as attitudes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attitude_%28psychology%29) and show how a person orients and receives their energy. In the extraverted attitude the energy flow is outward, and the preferred focus is on other people and things, whereas in the introverted attitude the energy flow is inward, and the preferred focus is on one's own thoughts, ideas and impressions.


The Extrovert will act first, think and reflect later. The Introvert will think and reflect first, act second.

I wouldn't worry to much about it, MB has failed to show validity.

It's still fun to take tests though.

OK, what would you consider the perfect test?

Scooter
02-11-2007, 12:42 PM
After looking at the test and the way it evaluates it suddenly hit me that the MB test is really nothing more than the measure of the NLP meta programs we run and the way we use them. There are 16 questions in NLP that get to the root o the Meta Programs and based on the way you answer determines the outcome. The only downside I see is that the interpretation is up to the observer and since the act of observation changes the outcome it gets a little muddy.:hopeless:

Scooter
02-11-2007, 03:14 PM
I have no idea what a perfect test would be, the first question would have to be, perfect for what? There are valid and invalid tests. When personality testing comes up in psychology classes we talk about how widely it is used, and this is due to early marketing efforts but the test has never show to be valid.

Other tests however have such as

MPPI-2 is valid and the most widely used professional test
the achiever is valid
I believe the Enneagram is also valid.

MB is not.

What would make a test "valid" vs "Not"?
I only question because for you to declare invalid something so widely used and respected, you must have some reason or study.

Scooter
02-11-2007, 05:45 PM
Thanks for all the research wanderer. I am sure that there are many who could also argue in favor and I was only curious because I have found the test to be fairly accurate in describing me and the people I know personally that have taken the various forms of this test over the years.
I have consistently scored in this mode every time for the paste three years. Prior to that I would have probably scored differently.

I have taken some of the more advanced tests in the past and believe it or not I actually failed the mmpi test many years ago. I won't go into the details.

I found it interesting that it fell into the realm of horoscopes to some extent in that I could see myself in every description. Ever noticed that Horoscopes are always right? They are written in such a way that they are accurate depictions to keep readers buying them. Imagine if they were wrong, the business model would fall apart in a few months.

All in all though, I found this test to be fun and only validated what I already knew and maybe shed a little light on some of my SV friends and how I might communicate better with them. I knew that from your profile you would find the answers to the question I asked ;)

[quote=Scooter;47162]I have consistently scored in this mode every time for the paste three years. Prior to that I would have probably scored differently.

It's funny. I was given a battery of tests when I was about 13 years old because my parents thought "I was acting retarded." (puberty, duh, mom)
But she reports that after the IQ test came back (higher than the Mensa dad unit, thank you very much) and my other personality tests....they started leaving me alone about my attitude and such. She says I was an INTJ on those tests too. She had some mimeographs (remember them?) of the descriptions still put away. I took a Myers-Briggs for work in 1980 and I was INTJ there and I can assure you, it was longer than the online version. I've taken it online in 2001 and again a couple nights ago and I am still INTJ even though my outward personality and shyness has done a 180.

So as far as it being invalid, I guess in the nebulous realm of cognitive behavioral world maybe, but if it's something that you see yourself in, there must be some value. Which is why places still use the test.

My enneagrams came out nearly even across the board except for #2 which I can concur with. Not really a touchy feely sympathetic nurturer. Gag.

I thought that might be the case too, Scooter, but I read all the MB descriptions and the only other one that touched a spot in me was a speck of the ENTP and that was just a few factors.

Newspaper horoscopes ARE a little bit of everyone because it doesn't take any of the important stuff into consideration. Signs change every three hours depending on your time of birth, so in order to cover a whole month's worth of Pisces, you have to touch on only the most vague aspects. And there are aspects of all the signs, to varying degrees in everyone. Assuming there shouldn't be would be like saying "Oh you are Pisces therefore you are sensual. End of story. You have no other traits."

Sometimes I think there is another factor at play too. There is a difference in who "I am" vs who "I wish I was" or "Who I would like to be more like" when searching for oneself in horoscopes or MB descriptions. One must be brutally honest.

Jennifer

Thank You, and I totally agree.
This was a point I was attempting to make in my Values thread.
There are several perceptions of ourselves at play and being honest is all about looking at who we are being now, in this moment. Only from that perspective can we assess who we are. Everything else is a wish list. I find many people live in that wish list "HOPING" to become that perception. I feel its totally possible to get there using that technique it just takes longer. What am I saying, to get from point "A" to point "B" you have to have both of them clearly defined then, and only then, can you map a route.

not nebulous Jenni.

MB is based on Jungian Theory. Which was not validated scientifically. It was not tested nor based on research but on anecdotal evidence. Since the theory has not been validated the entire test is based on a non validated concept.

When tested "statistics" comes to the conclusion that it is not a valid test.

The danger is in the possibility that the Forer effect is the driver rather than a valid model that is diagnostic.

I only chose "nebulous" because if humans, minds and consciousness are involved, you are going to get nebulous results. I guess MOST humans will elicit predictable results but MOST people would probably agree with their Myers-Briggs results too, even though it's been deemed "invalid."

Which, in and of itself is a fairly "nebulous" term based on fairly nebulous judgements that Jungian Theory, because it was based on anecdotal evidence has no real merit, which I think it does.

But you were involved in my discussions with Master, King and God Fourier of TR-ville who clung relentlessly to 'validated science' and you know, though I respect it, don't consider it the only raft on the sea of knowledge. Most science people do though. That is their weakness and gravest limitation. No offense.

I googled Forer Effect because I didn't know it had an official name. The example paragraph used to prove that people will see themselves in just about any description was a little too dysfunctional for me. I only agreed with a couple lines. ;)

And I mean really, each sentance was a contradiction of the one before it. So yes, I can see how people would, based on odds, sense some of themselves in the paragraph. It covers every base. I don't agree that Myers-Briggs is even remotely that vague.

Just my thoughts.

The original analysis was taken from horoscopes that were pieced together.

That's unfortunate for the reasons in my earlier post.


Validity and merit are too totally different things. Validity says that someone with certain traits will answer the test a certain way.

A concept can have merit without being valid. Also a test can be valid and have no merit.

I forgot you were Mr Language person. ;)



As was brought up, becareful not to label yourself based on a test that has not shown to be effective at providing those labels.

Just because the test says you are an introvert doesn't mean you are introverted for example.

I don't think the word "introvert" has the same meaning as we normally attach to it in non-MB terms.

But I agree about the labeling.

If I were like Meg Ryan, Sandra Bullock and Alicia Silverstone I might never come out of the bedroom! Did I say that out loud? :yikes:

out of the 21 who responded the spread was;
E 11 I 10

Very interesting. Thanks for the stats.

If I was in the bedroom with Sandra & Alicia, I reckon I could leave Meg to you.....

It is interesting that the test lists many people who were dead long before the test was created as being a certain type.

Hannibal was an INTJ, hmmm
Did he do it online or on paper? The abbreviated or the full version?


yer talking Hannibel Lecter. Right?

I don't really identify with any one particular personality type. I score in the 45-55% range for N/S and T/F, so neither of those traits are strong one way or the other in me. I am definitely an "I" and mostly a "P" though.

My coworkers and mom think I am INTP.
My boyfriend and best friend both pegged me as an ISFP.

I am an ENTJ I have taken this test before, and I am always the same... LOL

Thanks for posting this. I love stuff like this! It's always good to take it from time to time, see if I have changed in any fundamental ways. :thumb:
