It Appears I Am an Evil Overlord

Posted by Stephen on July 30th, 2007 at 9:30 PM

When I went to Governor’s School in Arkansas, one of the things they did is have us take a test to determine our Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. This was the full MBTI test, mind you, with what seemed like thousands and thousands of questions. I came out as an E/INTJ. Later tests I took gave me the same results.

I was always skeptical about how well my MBTI designation really matched my personality. “Decisive”? Sometimes. “Needing to make plans”? A little yes; a little no.

That was before I discovered what the MBTI types really mean. It turns out I’m actually an Evil Overlord.

ENTJs usually die at the hand of secret government agents in a fiery cataclysm that destroys their entire underground fortress. Often, Evil Overlords will have a secret clone whose implanted memories contain all the knowledge and ambition of the original, stored in cryonic suspension in a safe location. The clone will appear in a sequel.

Yes indeed. Soon I shall be invincible.

“Famous INTPs include Pierre de Fermat and almost everyone who knows what Pierre de Fermat wrote in the margins of his book.” Yep, that describes me exactly.

Oh Lord, this is so true:

RECREATION: ENTPs enjoy recreational activities which challenge them physically and intellectually, such as water skiing and porting Linux to their iPods. They are also fond of collecting gadgets like combination cellpone/PDAs and orbiting arsenals of brain lasers, which they may port Linux to as well.

COMPATIBILITY: ENTPs and ENTJs make natural companions, as the one’s unspeakable hunger for power complements the other’s unspeakable hunger for knowledge. They do not generally build successful relationships with ESFJs, as ENTPs they are prone to behaving in inconveniently erratic ways, which pisses ESFJs off to no end; and because ENTPs simply do not know how to dress appropriately for formal occasions.

Hey Stephen … I have this idea for an orbiting laser that we launch to orbit using a Pinto for fuel and NTO for an oxidizer … we wrap the laser in aluminum foil and hope for the best. You got some free time Saturday? I should be on prototype #2 by then!

Peace, love, and rocket fuel …

No blowing-up-of-children. However, my complaints about the terraces in the backyards of your neighborhood might be moot!

I’m sure you’ve already seen this, as it’s been on the web over 10 years, but I still refer to it from time to time. Handy advice as you take up your Evil Overlord scepter: The Top 100 Things I’d Do
If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord. I think my favorite is #12: One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before implementation.

That’s a great list for pointing out the traditional stupidities of Evil Overlords.
