More About Hillary and a Personality Test

I will comment on the personality test results of Myers-Briggsing Obama and McCain later this week because I just couldn't resist staying with Hillary today considering a comment I heard on the radio this morning. It is a true show of her personality type! The radio host mentioned that Hillary said her leadership is all about solutions, not feelings. Hillary, no doubt, was contrasting her ability to "get the job done" as commander and chief (or would that be commanderess and chiefess?) to Obama's less effective (according to Hillary) use of passion.

This is so perfectly in line with Hillary's personality (termperament) type, ESTJ, assessed by the Myers Briggs Type Indicator. Focus on the "T". She is a thinker. In opposition to her preference for thinking, Obama (an ENFP) is guided by feeling, focus on the "F". Hillary values "thinking" over "feeling." She seems to be implying that "thinking" translates into getting things done far better than "feeling" ever could, and she's letting us know that!

I think (or more accurately for me, should say feel!) that personality tests are incredibly and fascinatingly (is that a word?) right on! ...some of them anyway, and certainly the MBTI. It's a fun thing to observe others behaving in ways that are very predictable and not at all surprising.

Tomorrow's Primaries should be very interesting.

In case anyone feels the need (or thinks they should!) start looking for a new job, here's one suggestion. Take a look at this!

Interesting stuff. What do you our current president's personality type is?

Also, once your done talking about the current popular political figures, I would be curious to know what you think the personality types of many of our great leaders were such as Martin Luther King, Jr., George Washington, and Joseph Smith...
