Holy Crow! > [@](#): > > Myers-Briggs would say that you are an ENTJ (Extravert, Intuitive, Thinker, Judger). In Star Trek language, you share a basic personality configuration with Q and Quark. > > People like you are generally creative with a global perspective, full of energy and ready to take charge. You’re friendly, but strong-willed and driven to show your skills and expertise to others. You enjoy praise, but only when it’s honest. You’re more interested in a direct and fair appraisal of your work. You admire others for their competence, consistency, and honesty. You are sometimes a little too outspoken in your opinions of others, but you return consideration for kindness. > > You’re very organized, quick, and productive. You’re a confident stategic thinker and work best when you’re full of purpose. > > You can’t stand wasting time with people who won’t get to the point, but you respond instantly to creative thinking and logical explanations. > > Your primary goal in life is demonstrating their competence and making important things happen. Your reward is being given large, important projects to plan and manage. > > Good careers for your type include being a chief executive officer, network integration specialist, all-being master of time/space/dimention, management consultant politician, real estate developer, marketing executive, and judge. Hmmm all-being master of time/space/dimention… not too shaby Well you puny mortals have nothing on me. ---

> [@](#): > > Myers-Briggs would say that you are an ENFJ (Extrovert, Intuitive, Feeler, Judger). In Star Trek language, you share a basic personality configuration with Deanna Troi and Jake Sisko. > > People like you are generally highly empathic and easily hurt, particularly when people are disrespectful of your opinions. Your best friends are curious about how you feel and what you think. You have a well-structured personal philosophy and enjoy sharing your views and learning from others’. You’re creative and original, and when you have your facts straight you can come easily and quickly to a decision. > > You’re friendly and affectionate, articulate and and outgoing. You’re very tactful, which is good, as you like to ask personal questions. > > You’re organized and responsive. As long as your social needs are met, you’re productive. You dislike messy environments and generally like to keep things in order. You cannot stand unresolved issues in a relationship. > > Your primary goal in life is harmonious relationships with others.

I usually score as an ENFP, but a breakdown we all did on one ski trip showed I am right on the boder line of J and P for the fourth letter. So, this is probably weighted a little differently from the standard tests just to get it to fit in the Trek theme. Still fun, though. And the comments are pretty accurate. I sense great joy. And gratitude! Joy. And gratitude. ---

Funny…last time I took the Meyers-Briggs test, I was an ISTJ. ---

I’ll save myself the trouble of taking the test, since I already know that I’m an INTJ. But their archetypes suck: There’s no conceivable way that Picard is INTJ, and I doubt 7 of 36-26-36 is, either. How in the world do they have Picard as an introvert, but B’ellana as an extrovert? Introverts do not become starship captains, unless possibly if the starship is a research vessel (and even then it’s unlikely). ---

Hey all you folks complaining - at least you didn’t end up as a **Harry Kim**. (See first page for the depressing details). And I can’t believe somebody got a rating similar to ‘Q’ and 'Quark". Does anyone see any similarity between those two? Maybe I’ll take the test again and the result will be a personality similar to Richard Daystrom or the Gorn. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-star-trek-character-are-you/263807.md?page=2)
