As part of the Edge MGT selection process we are put through the Myer-Briggs psychological profiling process.
Lousia it turns out is an "INFJ" (Introversion, Intuition, Feeling, Judging)
"Succeed by perserverence, originality and desire to do whatever is needed or wanted. Put their best efforts into their work. Quietly forceful, conscientious, concerned for others. Respected for their firm principles. Likely to be honoured and followed for their clear convictions as to how best to serve the common good."
I am an "ENFP" (Extroversion, Intuition, Feeling, Perceiving)
"Warmly enthusiastic, high-spirited, ingenious, imaginative. Able to do almost anything that interests them. Quick with a solution for any difficulty and ready to help anyone with a problem. Often rely on their ability to improvise instead of preparing in advance. Can usually find compelling reasons for whatever they want."
Consultant Jenny Webber, who administered the rest, asked us: "But how do you make any decisions?" (Both of us are "F" (feelers) instead of "T" (thinkers).) Feelers consider other people's feelings, but they are not guided by logic, are not objective, are less organsised, are uncritical and over-accepting, and base justice on feelings. WHAT A DISASTER! I want to be a Thinker: They are logical, objective, and organised. They are just and stand firm. Good. They don't notice other people's feelings, they don't care about conciliation, they show less mercy and they don't care to persuade. They just punch people out.
This is how we make decisions: Louisa is the farmer. She rules on the farm. I'm the off-farm business manager. I rule off-farm. We take advice from each other before making decisions.
