Yup. That’s my pigeonhole, my personality type according to Meyers-Briggs.
I had 8 members of my staff go for a workshop assessing our types. I understood many things as a result. One staff member always moans when asked to do something. But that is what that "type" does! To get information out of me, you have to ask the right question. According to Marina Margaret Heiss, my letters mean that my type are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue—both for its own sake, and to show off. We tend to have a perverse sense of humor as well, and enjoy playing devil's advocate. We sometimes confuse, even inadvertently hurt, those who don't understand or accept the concept of argument as a sport. My type are as innovative and ingenious at problem-solving as they are at verbal gymnastics. We have been known to cut corners without regard to the rules if it's expedient. My group is basically optimistic, however, we tend to become extremely petulant about small setbacks and inconveniences. In terms of our relationships with others, ENTPs are capable of bonding very closely and, initially, suddenly, with their loved ones. Some appear to be deceptively offhand with their nearest and dearest; others are so demonstrative that they succeed in shocking co-workers who've only seen their professional side. ENTPs tend to be oblivious of the rest of humanity, except as an audience—good, bad, or potential. Humph.
