ENTP and Electioneering

Published Monday, January 22, 2007 by Alice Q in  

So, I had homework due on Friday, for my Media Research Methods class. Which I didn't discover until Saturday. But it was ungraded, so I didn't care too much. (Ungraded exercise, especially this one, = waste of time.)

The assignment? Take a version of the Briggs-Meyers personality test. And report on the findings. (The test, in a shorter, probably weaker version, is available at www.humanmetrics.com)

I'm an ENTP. But only slightly so. Here are my results:

Your Type is

ENTP

Extroverted Intuitive Thinking Perceiving

Strength of the preferences %

11 25 25 11



From the description page: "Clever" is the word that describes ENTPs best. ...
ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue... Both at work and play, ENTPs are very fond of 'toys'... They tend to be extremely genial, if not charming, when not being harassed by life in general.

Also, for all my fans out there: "In terms of relationships with others, ENTPs are capable of bonding very closely and suddenly with their loved ones. Some appear to be deceptively offhand with their nearest and dearest... ENTPs are also good at acquiring friends who are (almost*) as clever as they are."

* helping to clarify. :)


!!! Christ, it's like there's no warm spots on campus. I moved over from the cafeteria because I was cold, and nearer to the sun, and I'm still cold.


Anyway, back to the personality profile. I guess I do agree; I also like that I came out at only 11% more extroverted. Because I'm a little extroverted, but I also like being alone.

So, even though I didn't do it on time, I still *did* my homework. So, nya nya. It's not like I was getting points for it anyway.

Oh, and Electioneering. It's officially my favorite Radiohead song. But that's out of like, the 12 I've heard and the four or five I can name. Lyrics:

I will stop, I will stop at nothing.
Say the right things when electioneering
I trust I can rely on your vote.

When I go forwards you go backwards
and somewhere we will meet.
When I go forwards you go backwards
and somewhere we will meet.
Ha ha ha

Riot shields, voodoo economics,
it's just business, cattle prods and the I.M.F.
I trust I can rely on your vote.

When I go forwards you go backwards
and somewhere we will meet.
When I go forwards you go backwards
and somewhere we will meet.

Gotta love a song that references the IMF.

It's coooold out.

    It is quite the good song. A good choice for a Radiohead song for a future version of Guitar Hero..

    Starlight is still my favorite Muse song.

    Mondays are big TV days for me.. trying to decide what I should do till shows start...

    Maybe I'll go to my place and blog.

    I'm still listening to the Radiohead cds you gave me, but so far, I have no opinion and therefore no comment towards them.

    I took one of those tests you took. Before, I was always a INSTP, or whatever. I was split down the middle between dreamer and analyzer. It was weird. But that's what I usually got. I took it just now and it said I was a ISTJ, which I think is crap. Or I'm too tired. My contacts hurt. I'm going to bed.

    I was INFJ. Which is apparently Counselor Idealist.
    Usually I don't end up on the introverted side of things. Not that I'm a major extrovert but still...

    Either way.. not the result I usually get either.
