ehh for those things i'm like a little of both, too hard to choose which one.


EDIT:
Life as an ESTJ
(Extravert, Sensor, Thinker, Judger)

People of this type tend to be: energetic, friendly, and outspoken; productive, organized and efficient; realistic and sensible, but often skeptical about new or untested ideas; honest and direct to the point of bluntness; quick decision makers, opinionated, traditional, serious, and accountable.

The most important thing to ESTJs is doing the right thing, and being in charge.

That test is a very general test. There are more specific tests that measures the degree of each trait if you search on google, but that one is pretty accurate for people that aren't too borderline, which is most people. For those people, the test is very accurate.
I have a friend that's ESTJ. He's very stiff on things. You can't persuade him on anything, if he has his mind set on something, then he has to have it. Like if he planned on going to this restaurant, and he invited like 5 friends, and all 5 of those friends wants to go somewhere else, he'll still be stuck to that one, and he'd rather go by himself than with everyone else. So at the end, everyone just goes with his decision.

You're a pro at going with the flow
You love to kick back and take in everything life has to offer
A total joy to be around, people crave your stability.

While you're totally laid back, you can have bouts of hyperactivity.
Get into a project you love, and you won't stop until it's done
You're passionate - just selective about your passions

Pretty accurate I think. :)

A

You are hyper, energetic, and always on the mood
You tend to succeed at everything you attempt
And if you don't succeed at first, you quickly climb your way to the top!

You could be called a workaholic, but you also make time for fun
As long as it's high energy and competitive, you're interested
You have the perfect personality for business and atheltic success

You are one of the most balanced people around
Motivated and focused, you are good at getting what you want
You rule at success, but success doesn't rule you.

When it's playtime, you really know how to kick back
Whether it's hanging out with friends or doing something you love!
You live life to the fullest - encorporating the best of both worlds


Sweet! :D

Even the MBPI isn't perfect. For example, I fall almost exactly halfway in between ISTJ and INTJ. Depending upon the particular version of the test I will score as either one and still be completely truthful in my answers.

EDIT: I'm definitely Type A though. I'm working a 60-70 hour/week job in Finance and loving every second of it. I'm also kicking ass in the job.

You're as laid back as they come...
Your baseline mood is calm and level headed
Creativity and philosophy tend to be your forte

Like a natural sedative, you have a soothing effect on people
Friends and family often turn to you first with their problems
You have the personality to be a spiritual or psychological guru

Sounds about right to me.
