Asserters are direct, self-reliant, self-confident, and protective.


How to Get Along with Me


  • Stand up for yourself... and me.
  • Be confident, strong, and direct.
  • Don't gossip about me or betray my trust.
  • Be vulnerable and share your feelings. See and acknowledge my tender, vulnerable side.
  • Give me space to be alone.
  • Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don't flatter me.
  • I often speak in an assertive way. Don't automatically assume it's a personal attack.
  • When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that's just the way I am.

  • What I Like About Being a EIGHT


  • being independent and self-reliant
  • being able to take charge and meet challenges head on
  • being courageous, straightforward, and honest
  • getting all the enjoyment I can out of life
  • supporting, empowering, and protecting those close to me
  • upholding just causes

  • What's Hard About Being a EIGHT


  • overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don't intend to
  • being restless and impatient with others' incompetence
  • sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it
  • never forgetting injuries or injustices
  • putting too much pressure on myself
  • getting high blood pressure when people don't obey the rules or when things don't go right

    Me, scream, curse and stomp around...? /:)

    (But they're being so DIFFICULT!!!!!)

    Mmmyeah. According to this test I must be an utter jackbooted fascist dictator, save that I demand honesty and emotional intimacy as well as loyalty. But then, I suppose ENTJ comes out to the same thing, more or less......? :-? If I claim to be a dreamer rather than a doer then I get 4, the Romantic, which I've had in felt alternation of mood w/ 5, the Observer, through most of my life. The Asserter is just more.....assertive.

    At least I do have a tender vulnerable side, I suppose.......here, have a spear and see what comes out of it. :-|


    Heh. That's some pointed humour.....see, you point it, and then you get humours......flowing out.....ain't that a neat party trick?




    Guess ya had to be there......

    ENTJ - Commandant
    You scored 81% I to E, 10% N to S, 61% F to T, and 26% J to P!
    The single word to describe your type is fieldmarshal or commandant. You also belong to the larger group called rationals. You love to organize others in matters of logic. Even as a child, you likely naturally assumed the role of leader in groups. You share your personality type with 2% of the population. When you lead, you are more concerned with policy and goals than rules and regulations. You have a tendency to become a workaholic. You are impatient with repetition of error. You are friendly and outgoing, though. You don't mince words and willingly share your many strong opinions.
    As a romantic partner, you are inspiring, but also somewhat challenging. You have a strong desire to be in charge and your clear need for an organized life and home can be overwelming to a partner. You like to confront conflict directly, discuss problems unflinchingly, solve them, then put them behind you. However, you can be too impatient or unwilling to take the time to listen to your partner and give them a chance to express themselves fully so that they also have a sense of closure. You are generally uncomfortable dealing with emotions, so you are apt to dismiss your partner's emotions as illogical. You feel most appreciated when your partner asks for your opinions, takes your adivce, and relies on you to get a job done right.
    Your group summary: rationals (NT)
    Your type summary: ENTJ

    aureantes: They misspelled "overwhelming". :P
    aureantes: I don't dismiss your emotions as illogical, do I?
    aureantes: *fingers ear to check for possible Spockage*
    aureantes: The first time I took this test, I think I may have gotten the same results, but they called it "Executive Visionary".
    jezebel_sphinx: (That's why I wound up taking it twice and even then, it didn't have me down, lol.)
    aureantes: Yeah.....this result is mainly good for intimidating people.
    jezebel_sphinx: lol, true enough
    aureantes: LOGIC NAZI...!!!
    aureantes: >:)
    jezebel_sphinx: >:) :-* .... and, no, you don't dismiss my emotions. What I wound up doing was taking it once from a thinking standpoint, and one from an emotional standpoint. The truth is somewhere in the middle
    jezebel_sphinx: once, rather
    aureantes: I do *like* things to be organized, but it doesn't always happen that way.
    jezebel_sphinx: True
    aureantes: There's a difference between preference and tolerance in me....I can deal with and appreciate a lot of things, but if you're going to make me choose absolutely, sure it's gonna look like I'm more a tightass than I really am.
    jezebel_sphinx: *nods* True
    aureantes: Also, the whole "mercy vs. justice" thing is already phrased as a value judgement.......lol
    jezebel_sphinx: lol, also true
    aureantes: It'd be interesting to re-phrase that test with the opposite angle, making everything a matter of practicality....:-?
