Personality Test and "Obamanations"

They've been called Obamanations: these mis-steps of Barack Obama in supporting an extremely controversial preacher for 20 years, a website that carries new black panther party endorsement, etc. There's plenty in his personality type that may be revealing (according to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, MBTI). Consider this:

According to David Keirsey in Please Understand Me II, a book which explores the MBTI personality test, Obama (an ENFP) "consider(s) intense emotional experiences as being vital to a full life." Whew, everyone's heard clips by his pastor Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Obama must feel his life is full!

Keirsey goes on to say, "ENFP'S are the (most) keen and penetrating observers of the people around them, and are capable of intense concentration on another individual. Their attention is never passive or casual, never wandering, but always directed. .. seeing life as an exciting drama, preganant with possibilities for both good and evil....[W]hat might be is always more fascinating than what is."

Did you ask someone to perform your marriage and baptize your children that you had serious reservations about? Maybe, but I doubt it even if you're one of the far less observant types, but it's hard for me to believe that Obama would ever do such a thing. There's something of great concern here if you ask me. Obama's support of his reverend says a lot!
