Personality Test (Jung/MBTI)

[KAOS]

coming from the USA to a real educational system

made me laugh.

Which "real educational system" is it you're talking about? *curious*

[Cwalen]

My folks (dad was working as an elect eng for HP in the 60's and 70's and went on to be a professor before going back to enterprise to make some real money, and my mom, who was a primary school teacher who went on to special ed) decided to leave the very economically viable USA of the mid 70's because for them, the education of their children was very important.

They did go on to put myself and my siblings though elite private schools here in Australia for our last five years of school. It's a matter of public record (citations on request) that the standard of public education in the USA has been poor and declining for the last 30 years or so.

Obviously the best and brightest, will take the most from whatever education they are offered. Neither of my parents had private education, but both went to the same university that I did. (and were bright enough and applied enough to get scholarships).

Even when I was born, and statically increasingly since then, the USA has been a backwater for public education. I come from a family that has millions not billions. Just well off from hard work, not wealthy from social position.

That's what I mean by "came back from the USA to a real educational system."

Not Bush's, or Kenedy's, or Rockefeller's. Just scoot prods. 25K for grade 8-12 and generous terms, which I still owe some of, for my ten years of university education. To get the same thing in the USA? I don't have hard figures, Hundreds of thousands at least.

I am one lucky, lucky, bastard.

FOr the umpteenth time I've done this test.

Which is where I've always come out, even though I'm sure I don't always answer the questions the same each time...

Sorry if I'm kicking a dead thread, but I love these tests, so I had to post:

ENTP. Every single time I take this. Yay for being an inventor. I'm okay with this.

Of the four aspects of strategic analysis and definition it is the marshaling or situational organizing role that reaches the highest development in the Fieldmarshal. As this kind of role is practiced some contingency organizing is necessary, so that the second suit of the Fieldmarshal's intellect is devising contingency plans. Structural and functional engineering, though practiced in some degree in the course of organizational operations, tend to be not nearly as well developed and are soon outstripped by the rapidly growing skills in organizing. But it must be said that any kind of strategic exercise tends to bring added strength to engineering as well as organizing skills.

Hardly more than two percent of the total population, Fieldmarshals are bound to lead others, and from an early age they can be observed taking command of groups. In some cases, they simply find themselves in charge of groups, and are mystified as to how this happened. But the reason is that they have a strong natural urge to give structure and direction wherever they are - to harness people in the field and to direct them to achieve distant goals. They resemble Supervisors in their tendency to establish plans for a task, enterprise, or organization, but Fieldmarshals search more for policy and goals than for regulations and procedures.

They cannot not build organizations, and cannot not push to implement their goals. When in charge of an organization, whether in the military, business, education, or government, Fieldmarshals more than any other type desire (and generally have the ability) to visualize where the organization is going, and they seem able to communicate that vision to others. Their organizational and coordinating skills tends to be highly developed, which means that they are likely to be good at systematizing, ordering priorities, generalizing, summarizing, marshaling evidence, and at demonstrating their ideas. Their ability to organize, however, may be more highly developed than their ability to analyze, and the Fieldmarshal leader may need to turn to an Inventor or Architect to provide this kind of input.

Fieldmarshals will usually rise to positions of responsibility and enjoy being executives. They are tireless in their devotion to their jobs and can easily block out other areas of life for the sake of their work. Superb administrators in any field - medicine, law, business, education, government, the military - Fieldmarshals organize their units into smooth-functioning systems, planning in advance, keeping both short-term and long-range objectives well in mind. For the Fieldmarshal, there must always be a goal-directed reason for doing anything, and people's feelings usually are not sufficient reason. They prefer decisions to be based on impersonal data, want to work from well thought-out plans, like to use engineered operations - and they expect others to follow suit. They are ever intent on reducing bureaucratic red tape, task redundancy, and aimless confusion in the workplace, and they are willing to dismiss employees who cannot get with the program and increase their efficiency. Although Fieldmarshals are tolerant of established procedures, they can and will abandon any procedure when it can be shown to be ineffective in accomplishing its goal. Fieldmarshals root out and reject ineffectiveness and inefficiency, and are impatient with repetition of error.
