MASTERMIND

Of the four aspects of strategic analysis and definition, it is the contingency planning or entailment organizing role that reaches the highest development in Masterminds. Entailing or contingency planning is not an informative activity, rather it is a directive one in which the planner tells others what to do and in what order to do it. As the organizing capabilities the Masterminds increase so does their inclination to take charge of whatever is going on.

It is in their abilities that Masterminds differ from the other Rationals, while in most of their attitudes they are just like the others. However there is one attitude that sets them apart from other Rationals: they tend to be much more self-confident than the rest, having, for obscure reasons, developed a very strong will. They are rather rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population. Being very judicious, decisions come naturally to them; indeed, they can hardly rest until they have things settled, decided, and set. They are the people who are able to formulate coherent and comprehensive contingency plans, hence contingency organizers or "entailers."

Masterminds will adopt ideas only if they are useful, which is to say if they work efficiently toward accomplishing the Mastermind's well-defined goals. Natural leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command of projects or groups, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once in charge, however, Masterminds are the supreme pragmatists, seeing reality as a crucible for refining their strategies for goal-directed action. In a sense, Masterminds approach reality as they would a giant chess board, always seeking strategies that have a high payoff, and always devising contingency plans in case of error or adversity. To the Mastermind, organizational structure and operational procedures are never arbitrary, never set in concrete, but are quite malleable and can be changed, improved, streamlined. In their drive for efficient action, Masterminds are the most open-minded of all the types. No idea is too far-fetched to be entertained-if it is useful. Masterminds are natural brainstormers, always open to new concepts and, in fact, aggressively seeking them. They are also alert to the consequences of applying new ideas or positions. Theories which cannot be made to work are quickly discarded by the Masterminds. On the other hand, Masterminds can be quite ruthless in implementing effective ideas, seldom counting personal cost in terms of time and energy.

Yea I think this describes me reasonably well, however I would not consider myself overly self-confident. I do wish more people would learn about this -- it really gets to the hard of human interaction, and communication difficulties that often arise.

heh. could you explain to me more about the "4th dimension". i probably know what you're talking about, but i just want to be sure. i haven't heard that term used in almost a year.

4th dimension -- i am thinking something like the 2nd life computer game, where we have another world that we live in in the digital space. our thinking in this world is fundamentally different, because the results of our actions are completely up to the 4th dimension's creators. as i see it, it is basically a world within a world kind of dimension. a folded universe...ok maybe now i am stretching it lol
 
I've taken the MBTI tests several times over the years and I always come out as INTP, each letter between 60% and 100%. Some people talk to me about changing certain of their letters, like trying to be more E than I for example, but it looks as though I'm firmly set in my ways. :\

Pretty funny that most of the people who participated in the poll are INTP as well.
 
^ That's another thing I've been wondering. Are INTPs (and INTJs and ENFPs) actually more represented in the readers of P&S, or are they just more likely to be motivated to take the poll?

I tend to think of the religious beliefs poll as being a bit more representative, because I don't think the holders of any specific religious belief are more prone to taking the initiative to express their beliefs in a poll. But here we're talking about personal preferences and personality, and willingness to vote might not be an independent variable from this.
 
INTPs (and to a lesser extent INTJs) are severely over-represented on the internet, and INTPs (and to a lesser extent INTJs) are severely over-represented among philosophers.

Either is really one to three percent of the population.

This seems about right.
 
^ I just had to remark that your username and facepalming avatar went well with this comment.
 
INFJ- i can identify very well with my personality type from the test, "the Counselor", as i am always finding myself giving people advice on how to improve their own lives. It's often much more difficult for me to see such a clear cut way on how to improve my own. I am a designer, and this was one of the career types suggested for me. So I'm pretty happy. :)

^Yeah, i just took the test and scored INFP. I remember taking the test several years ago and scored INTJ on it, but my core beliefs have really changed since then (for example, I was studying to become a biologist at the time, and became increasingly disillusioned with the world of laboratories).

When I was at the beginning of my opiate habit, I took the test again, three years ago, and scored ENFP or something similar. Opiates made me incredibly talkative and social back then, but as I got accustomed to the feeling, I slid back into introversion, which is not necessarily a bad thing, since I think I have struck a much better balance of social skills and nerding out since then.

But its really interesting to have taken a Meyers-Briggs test several times and noticed how changes in my thinking and behavior have impacted my results...everything from belief systems to drug use can influence it. We usually assume that personality is a fairly non-malleable dimension, but re-taking the test just now made me contemplate how the opposite is true.
