ESTJ 9w8 Zen
Thanks, Matt. These tests are always fun. I like the idea of taking this test again in a couple days and seeing how repeatable the results are. I'd also like to retake this test in a year just to compare. Unfortunately, the odds of me remembering are fairly slim.

ESTJ - "Administrator". Much in touch with the external environment. Very responsible. Pillar of strength. 8.7% of total population.

Extroverted (E) 51.52% Introverted (I) 48.48%
Sensing (S) 50% Intuitive (N) 50%
Thinking (T) 56.67% Feeling (F) 43.33%
Judging (J) 51.43% Perceiving (P) 48.57%

ESTJ. "Administrator"?! Fuck that. I hate the damn administrators at work. But, maybe my feelings are rooted in the belief that the administrators are incompetent and I could do their job ten-times better. Whatever the case, "administrator" tastes bitter in my mouth. Reviewing the numerical percentiles, indicates that my personality is blandly middle-of-the-road with no extremes in any direction. Thinking is the only attribute to exceed 52%, yet it still doesn't breach the 60% threshold. Perhaps these near-homogenous results are caused by the twinge of apathy I feel at work. I wonder if I have a different domestic Myers-Briggs Personality. Like, if I were to take this test from my home environment would it affect the results?

Taking into consideration that I'm not familiar with the alternatives to 9w8, this appears to fit. I take exception with "bad temper", though I will concede "stubbornness". I'm only truly stubborn when I'm right and those around me are idiots, which seams to happen more often than not. And not to split hairs, but I'd also change "very physically affectionate" to simply "physically affectionate"; the accentuator "very" is very unnecessary.

I am calm, yet aggressive… a bit of a paradox, eh? The lack of image awareness, sensitivity, and anxiety are consistent. In my mind at least, those three attributes are interconnected. Overall, it's fairly fitting. The whole calmness thing truly fits my last post regarding my self-proclaimed theme song. I'd like to push calmness into the 90% or even to 100%, but I'd probably need to be a Shaolin Monk to achieve such a state.
