Personality Test, Rush, and the "Dream Ticket"

Rush Limbaugh has been criticized for his statement that the so called "dream ticket" (Hillary and Obama as running mates, not necessarily in that order) is nothing of the kind. He claims it's a way for the dems to lose the election. Different liberal democrats speaking out about Rush's assessment have each mentioned that whatever Rush has to say is of no consequence anyway and shouldn't even be considered. Then why are they talking about (i.e. considering) it? What Rush has to say is always considered in political circles. And a personality test offers evidence as to why.

According to the personality test I like to refer to most--the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator--Rush is an ENTJ. This is what Myers calls The Fieldmarshal. They are the "leaders of leaders....superleaders...They are super efficient in marshalling forces in the service of a clearly defined objective....the basic driving force of these Fieldmarshals is to command forces that promise to be effective in achieving the objectives that they are able to visualize."

"[ENTJ's] base their self-image on being ingenious, autonomous, and resolute...[they're] hungry for achievement, seek knowledge...they are prone to practice strategy far more than diplomacy, tactics and logistics." With a minimum waste of effort and maximum progress these leaders "cannot not push to implement their goals." They are unusually good at communicating their vision to others.

Like him or not, it's apparent that Rush has an uncanny ability. He was born with it and it will be with him to the end: that's what personality experts say--temperament or personality traits are set: they are who we are in one sense . What Rush has to say will most likely always be of consequence because he has marshalled and will continue to marshall MANY forces in the field and effectively communicate a vision!
