ISTP

Introverted (I) 68.97% Extroverted (E) 31.03%
Sensing (S) 51.35% Intuitive (N) 48.65%
Thinking (T) 71.43% Feeling (F) 28.57%
Perceiving (P) 62.86% Judging (J) 37.14%

True enough, I'm an introvert. I don't like working in a team. (I)

Quite true too because I'm not sure whether I prefer looking at the big picture or the details. (50/50 S or N)

True enough, I make decisions based on logic. (T)

True enough, I don't like to plan and I schedule my daily tasks inside my head instead of writing it down. (P)

Thank you Critical_Fallacy for opening up my eyes on this Keirsey Temperament Theory.

After reading more on Artisan Crafter, I realised I'm not an ISTP afterall although some of the descriptions may fit me. But....

* I'm definitely not an Artisan Crafter because I do not like to play with tools and engines.

* I do not like to expose myself to dirt and danger.

Since I'm on the verge between sensing and intuition and after reading more on Rational Architect, I would say I'm more of an INTP (Rational Architect). Why?

* I like designing theoretical systems or to conjure theoretical analysis.

* I prefer working alone and I work best alone.

* I may be a quiet person but when comes to public speaking/debate, I may be a fiery speaker

* And I would say the entire description fits me well.

* And coincidentally, I like drawing/painting and architect was one of my childhood ambition but somehow I didn't end up as an architect

I like to work more with creative pragmatic ideas and analysis rather than to delve myself into practical stuff dealing with tools and engines. And perhaps that's why I decided to quit the corporate world because I find corporate "practical" administrative work boring and meaningless.

I like any topics on Organisational Behaviour or Organisational Psychology but fairness in the workplace is something that strikes me. Workplace fairness interests me maybe because I experienced inequity in the workplace in the past. I like any OB topics as long as I can conjure or play around with any theoretical frameworks and to propose an idealistic but pragmatic work place.

And wow.... you could really read my mind because I enjoy and I always look forward to hosting a program one day.

Wow....u know a lot. You surprised me.

I thought you are from the science field. Exactly which field are you from?

Inclusive meritocracy is a term I have not heard before. Thank you for the suggestion. I think I had enough of reading OB topics day in day out from the articles. Haha. Instead, I am actually thinking of opening a fresh topic on statistical analysis and at least everyone can ask questions about statistics and anyone can help answering them.

Well, I'm still trying to understand bootstrapping now.

The Baron and Kenny's (1986) approach to mediation analysis is said to be outdated, and now, Preacher and Hayes (2004; 2008) introduce a new approach to mediation analysis (bootstrapping).

Haha...

I don't think any academic articles have answers for that.

But through experience, I was once taught by a senior colleague on how to deal with such superiors. I was taught to document everything down because she is well-known to steal credit from others and pushing blames to others. She was not in my department but yet she could still bullied me. So, I had to learn the school of hard-knocks that documentation is very important to protect myself.

In my opinion, I believe one should approach the HR department if anyone has such supervisors because HR dept are supposed to be the "counselling centre" for every company.

If the HR is ineffective, no choice but to quit the organisation unless you could "tahan" to face such people everyday.

Nevertheless, it is the responsibility of the company to recruit the right supervisors but if such abusive supervisors are already there, top management should have told that person off to learn how to "behave".

I am Ka-zar

I'm actually an INTP.

Can I be Reed Richards, please?

Since women are said to be more emotional, I am curious whether are there any females (who have taken the test) who have preference on thinking over feelings?
