The article happened to be an Associated Press article, so I have the URL attached to this message. The 3w4 "signs" didn't hit me until near the end of the article: He is a "come-from-behind-striver", he fantasizes about doing fantastic things, and he battles feelings of unworthiness. According to the information Cory gave me about 3w4s, that sounds about right.

I think we share that in common. I realized recently that I needed to get in touch with my feelings, I began to wonder why that was so difficult for me to do. I also have struggled with perfectionism all my life-not perfection for its own sake, but perfection to gain others' admiration. So when the semester ended, I began researching the motivation behind my actions. My research led me here. It's become a rather fun little project. I've met a lot of nice people here who are willing to exchange opinions and analyses with me. I really love doing that, and that's one thing that drives me back here (other than figuring myself out.) So I'm having fun and getting results.

I am happiest when I am in charge of projects, and when I am motivating people to join in the fun. That's why I knew I was a 3 so quickly.

I am currently working on a project to improve communication between my organization and a segment of the people it serves. The negative response I initially received ("No matter how hard you work, no one will care!") motivated me even harder to get results. I love what I'm doing, and it's thrilling to hear that I'm going against the odds. Even while I am on vacation, I am still working on a project to improve communication. It's pure fun to me; it doesn't seem like work at all.

I bang into walls, trip over things, and stub my fingers and toes. I also have this odd bouncing gait when I think of an exciting idea.

I am an ENTJ. When you mean "judging", do you mean "judging of others" or something else?

I am a woman, by the way. It's my real name, but it is rather ambiguous in gender, and that's one of the reasons I use it on the internet.
