So I did my Myers Briggs 'test' a while back but was showing someone else how to do it and read about their personality trait. I found this link to a good description of each profile.

Myers Briggs Personality Details

So I am ENTJ - part of "the Rational" groups and characterized as "The Leader".

Here are some of the highlights from the link I wanted to share - they resonated with me...

• ~5% of the total population
• ENTJ need to have goals for everything. They seek power and control. They want to have an impact. Because of their desire to take charge, they are often leaders.
• ENTJs see education as one of the major ways of getting ahead. They apply the mind-set of how that information affects their future.
• Without variety and action boredom sets in.
• Love needs to fit into the overall picture and may become subservient to their larger goals. The loved one preferably acting in a supportive, not competing, role. ENTJs tend to make rigorous demands of love...the other person must be willing to accept the ENTJ's directness and need for independence.
• ENTJ's take charge of the home. When an ENTJ is present, there will be little doubt as to who is in command. Because their work is so important to them, they can become increasingly absent, especially if male.
• When ENTJs are scorned by others, they may feel a passionate devastation and a strong sense of loss that is seldom shared with others.
• Inefficiency is especially rejected by ENTJ's, and repetition of error causes them to become impatient. For the ENTJ, there must always be a reason for doing anything, and people's feelings usually are not sufficient reason.
• When in charge of an organization, ENTJ's more than any other type desire (and generally have the ability) to visualize where the organization is going and seem able to communicate that vision to others.
• They are the natural organization builders, and they cannot not lead.
• They find themselves in command and sometimes are mystified as to how this happened.
• ENTJ's 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 work.
• They will be able to reduce inefficiency, ineffectiveness, and aimless confusion, being willing to dismiss employees who perpetuate such behaviors.
• At midlife the ENTJ's tendency to be somewhat unaware of the feelings of others, including those close, may be an area that could be given attention. But perhaps the most important midlife task of the ENTJ is to begin to allocate time and energy to pursuits which are not work-connected and to begin to develop a larger repertoire of play skills. Putting off vacations, travel, hobbies, and family should be avoided
