[IxDA Discuss] What's your Personality Type? (Related to: Now Hiring Leonardo DaVinci?)

[Christine Boese]

I'm an ENFP who often flops to an ENTJ.

That would depend on which side of a Saturn return or Saturn square I'm on.
That kind of stress tends to bring out the TJ in me <grin>.

My occupations have been all over the map, but here are a few:

newspaper reporter, photojournalist, poet, technical writer, graphic
designer, grad student, professor, multimedia artist, interaction designer,
community manager, usability researcher, futurist, wedding photographer,
tarot card reader, cyberculture ethnographer, and fly on the wall.

You'll have to figure out how the two connect, cuz while I see a method in
it, most people I encounter have difficulty wrapping their heads around it.
