4-Letter Words

Last Mon to Wed, my head was filled with 4-letter words... everyone I see, I was trying to see these words on them!

Dun be mistaken... I merely attended an MBTI course - Myer-Briggs Type Indicator.
It was an extremely fun-filled learning experience these 3 days & I learnt to see why certain people behave in a certain manner & why I reacted in certain ways myself!
The instructress, Angeline Yam, was fantastic.. She can jump into any role at the snap of your fingers & at the start of the course, I almost thought that she was a bit hysterical! :p But she proved to be extremely learned in this area.. as she mentioned, she lived, walked, breathed MBTI! And she's extremely 'fixed' in her idea that people are "born" into the 16-type indicators. You might acquire & develop the other types.. however, you cannot change your type since the day you're born! Well.. I'll leave this to the individual to mull over & think more abt it..

I still cannot figure out what exactly am I at the end of the course... my test results shown that I'm an ENTJ - Extravert, iNtuitive, Thinking, Judging but the description that seems to fit me would be that of an ESTJ - Extravert, Sensing, Thinking, Judging.
Basically all these simply in summary means that:
1) Extravert - I draw energy from talking to people. I love to interact.
2a) Sensing - Figures, facts & details are impt to me. I'm practical & support all my reasoning with these. I'm a here-&-now person.
2b) iNtuitive - Look at possibilities & the big picture. Conceptual, abstract, follows hunches & trusts inspiration. Look more at the future.
3) Thinking - Analytical, solve problems with logc. Reasonable. Use cause-&-effect reasoning. Objective but can appear as "tough-minded" as often directed at issues rather than persons.
4) Judging - Scheduled, systematic, like to make short & long-term plans.
Angeline's idea is that I'm an ENTJ who has a highly acquired "S"!

So it's up to you all to judge for yourself if I were an ENTJ (field marshall) or ESTJ(executive)! Btw, I must emphasize that despite being a "J", I can be just as spontaneous & fun! Coz a "J" can make the decision to just go along with changes & be just as flexible! :p
