The Syndicate

Only 5 of 24 participators report being an E. We are clearly a rare breed in online mafia.

Daisy is an E for sure.

Not my brain twin after all!

My sister and I joke that we share a brain because we think alike. But our personalities are vastly different. Just like Alex she is an INTJ. The E/I and the J/P affect the personality while the S/N and the F/T affect the way we think about things. It makes sense really. E/I is pretty clear why. The J/P really is about how you handle your everyday life, are you a planner or spontaneous? S/N is more about do you focus on the details or do you focus on the big picture? F/T, do you make decisions influenced by emotions or do you rely on cold logic? My point being, brain twins don't aways have the same full on personality. You can't escape me brain twin! Nice try though.

That's a good question. I've never seen that distinction before. It appears there's more information about it in the "Our Theory" page.

Here's what I found:


Strategies
The Strategy layer shows our preferred ways of doing things and achieving goals. There are four strategies:

Confident Individualism (Introverted and Assertive)

Spoiler: show

Confident Individualists prefer doing things alone, choosing to rely on their own skills and instincts as opposed to seeking contact with other people. They know what they are good at and have high self-confidence. These personality types firmly believe that personal responsibility and trust in yourself are very important values. Confident Individualists do not pay much attention to other people’s opinions and prefer to rely on themselves.

People Mastery (Extraverted and Assertive)

Spoiler: show

People Masters seek social contact and tend to have very good communication skills, feeling at ease in social events or in situations where they need to rely on or direct other people. These types are confident in their abilities and do not hesitate to express their opinions. Playing an active role in the society and knowing what makes other people tick mean a lot for People Masters; however, they are not too concerned about what other people think about them.

Constant Improvement (Introverted and Turbulent)

Spoiler: show

Constant Improvers are quiet, individualistic people. They tend to be perfectionistic and success-driven, often spending a lot of time and effort making sure that the result of their work is the best it can be. As their name says, Constant Improvers are high achieving individuals dedicated to their craft – however, they also tend to worry too much about their performance.

Social Engagement (Extraverted and Turbulent)

Spoiler: show

The last strategy is adopted by sociable, energetic and success-driven types. Social Engagers tend to be restless, perfectionistic individuals, prone to experiencing both very positive and very negative emotions. Their curiosity and willingness to work hard also mean that they are usually high-achieving, even if quite sensitive people. Types favoring this strategy also tend to place a lot of importance on other people’s opinions; they value their social status and are eager to succeed in everything they do.

People Mastery is very fitting for me.

I will go through and read everyone else's responses but first I want to post that despite taking the official MB test a couple weeks ago, my husband harassed me into taking this one. So to make him happy I did. The results were the same and it is no surprise to me at all. I am quite solidly an ENTP. There is no letter that even comes near a gray area. It was as follows:

E - 91%
N - 90%
T - 73%
P - 83%

I was at 90% Assertiveness.

Happy now Alex?

As a side note, I've been aware of my personality type and weaknesses for a long time. So I answered the questions as I naturally tend to be, as opposed to the way I have learned to adapt to others. For example, I am not a naturally compassionate or thoughtful person, but I have learned that others need that and tried to cultivate it more. Or at least pretend it's there, lol. Anyway, yeah, tl;dr: I'm a loud, outgoing (and probably annoying) woman. Poor Alex.
