Well, I'll take a look at what the site says.
risk taker, easy going, outgoing, social, open, rule breaker, thrill seeker, life of the party, comfortable in unfamiliar situations, appreciates strangeness, disorganized, adventurous, talented at presentation, aggressive, attention seeking, experience junky, insensitive, adaptable, not easily offended, messy, carefree, dangerous, fearless, careless, emotionally stable, spontaneous, improviser, always joking, player, wild and crazy, dominant, acts without thinking, not into organized religion, pro-weed legalization
I mean, some of these describe me. Some of them are way too extreme. I especially had a good chuckle at pro-weed legalisation because that's not something I really have any investment in. Otherwise, these keywords paint something of a caricature that I can't really say represents me properly. Insensitive, in particular, is way too absolute.
favored careers:
dictator, computer consultant, international spy, tv producer, philosopher, comedian, music performer, it consultant, fighter pilot, politician, diplomat, entertainer, game designer, bar owner, freelance writer, creative director, strategist, news anchor, professional skateboarder, airline pilot, comic book artist, college professor, private detective, mechanical engineer, lecturer, ambassador, astronomer, research scientist, judge, web developer, scholar, fbi agent, cia agent, electrical engineer, assassin
...Bloody hell.
Now, this might just be there as an encouragement, but I can see wildly different demands between these jobs. FBI agent? Assassin? Dictator? College Professor? I know this might be a gut feeling, but those don't quite mesh. It's probably just looking at propensities rather than absolute suitability, but man, they could have at least tried to make it more convincing.
disfavored careers:
personal assistant, wedding planner, travel agent, secretary, interior decorator, clerical employee, government employee, social worker, pre school teacher, copy editor, child care worker, hospitality worker, occupational therapist, home maker
I have two things to mention here. Firstly, most of these should have credit as careers I am absolutely not interested in. Secondly, I currently work casually as a government employee.
Anyway, looking further afield (i.e. remembering what I learned from compulsory management wank courses), the ENTP type is something I relate to about as well as any other personality test result. That is, it can describe some things about me but has a lot of trouble pinning me down as an individual and makes many assumptions that just aren't true.
The ENTP type seems to have this idea that it's a type that acts at the expense of other people. While I have boundaries and have developed a habit of avoiding emotionally rescuing people, that doesn't mean I am inconsiderate, or exclusionary, or tactless. ENTP falls flat explaining me there. In fact, I've found that assumptions of causal relationships with personalities (in this case, you don't much care about your image or your immigration politics hurt other people's feelings, therefore you are insensitive and inconsiderate) are where most of these things fall flat.
What is interesting to note is what you find when you look into the other personality types. I don't think there was a single MB personality category on that site that did not have at least a few traits that could be used to accurately describe me. That's probably true for most people. There is plenty of overlap with these categories that might spring up plenty of skewed results.
