Your closest personality type
Like all of our personality type descriptions, this is an archetype. Depending on where you fall on each of the four scales, you might recognise yourself in more than one type - this can also change as you get older, or even depending on your mood or the situation. Also, two people with the same closest personality type can seem very different depending on things like their environment, values or interests. This description is a fun read that should encourage you to consider your skills from a new angle, and might teach you a few things about yourself - enjoy!
ENTJ - Wallace's flying frog
Charismatic characters, ruthless when pursuing their ambitions.
ENTJs are ambitious characters who have all the skills they need to be successful: creative with new ideas, able to think rationally about solutions, and with the drive, consistency and charisma to make things happen.
They have lots of friends and display a natural self-confidence which makes people gravitate towards them, especially those who share or admire their qualities (and don’t mind a bit of arrogance!) ENTJs enjoy the spotlight but they aren’t likely to put on a performance or play the clown - they’d prefer to be telling interesting stories to a group or leading a team project. They stay informed of current events and love discussing them, and they always have strong opinions about everything. They ask a lot from their friends; most importantly, they want to spend time with people who they can have stimulating conversations with, and who can match them in wit and repartee. A debate with an ENTJ can turn into a game of one-upmanship, with everyone trying to come out on top. They can also be very stubborn - although having a heated debate is one of their favourite pastimes, it takes a lot to get an ENTJ to change their mind.
ENTJs are dominant personalities with a very strong will, which can lead them to be forceful and bulldoze over other people. They are quick to dismiss people who aren’t as strongly opinionated as them as being uninteresting, and they don't often have the patience to dig deeper and get to know a private person better. However, ENTJs really value and admire their friends - though they are unlikely to admit this to their faces.
ENTJs are very motivated by a challenge. In fact, if no challenge is forthcoming in their lives, they are likely to set one for themselves. Typically, they are the type of person who, the minute they cross the finish line of a marathon, will sign up for a triathlon. Being successful is very important to ENTJs, and they can be ruthless in order to achieve it. This doesn't necessarily mean getting rich, but ENTJs do tend to measure success through external opinions rather than their own internal feeling.

Frog type: Wallace’s flying frog
Character: Not content to just hop and swim, Wallace's flying frogs developed the ability to 'fly', by using a special membrane between their toes as a sort of parachute. Overachievers, just like ENTJs.
Way of life: Wallace’s flying frogs live almost all their lives up in the trees, coming down only to lay eggs. When threatened or in search of food, they will leap from a branch and splay their four webbed feet, helping them to glide, sometimes 15 metres or more. They survive mainly on insects, but have been known to consume toads and small birds!
How they’re doing: The Wallace's flying frog population is considered stable. However, as they usually lay eggs above the wallowing holes of Asian rhinoceros which are on the brink of extinction, their future may be less certain.
What you can do to help: You can make a difference. You could donate to, or raise money for, the Amphibian Survival Alliance which helps to protect amphibians all over the world.
Other close matches
Because of where you land on the four scales, you might also recognise yourself in these types.
INTJ - Golden poison frog
Original, strategic minds who love to be left alone with an interesting problem.
INTJs are analytical, questioning minds who enjoy getting things done. They are comfortable exploring highly theoretical ideas but not if these become unrealistic, since what they find most satisfying is turning their ideas into something concrete. This makes them great problem-solvers: they can come up with the perfect plan, and then carry it out to the end. They are effective and hard-working, and love the sensation of having cracked an issue.
INTJs really enjoy intellectual discussions and learning new things from a great teacher. They tend to have a small circle of close friends with whom they have hours-long discussions about shared interests, and they would prefer to do this once a year with a friend rather than have regular surface-level check-ins. They can get impatient with superficial interactions and social niceties.
INTJs are very clear about what traits and abilities they value, and they put lots of effort into becoming good at them. They are confident in the things they know they do well, and they are good at taking on feedback to improve without getting upset. They feel secure about what they like, and if someone they don’t care about makes fun of their hobbies, it won't have much of an impact (especially as they get older).
Consummate perfectionists, INTJs have high standards. If someone doesn’t reach them, they won’t be shy about telling them, and not always in a tactful way. Really though, they are even more likely to apply those high standards to themselves. If they feel that they have fallen short in some way, an INTJ will get extremely upset and immediately want to right the situation. Success is important to them, but they are likely to measure this internally, and not bother with what other people or society think.
INTJs are independent, and not fond of being told exactly what to do. They would much rather be presented with a problem they find interesting and be left on their own to tackle it, with no one wasting their time. In general, they find their time precious, and won’t spend it on people or things they don’t deeply enjoy or feel will improve them in some way - so don’t try talking to them about that TV show everyone’s watching!

And... as a frog!
Frog type: Golden poison frog
Character: The Golden poison frog is one of the most toxic animals on Earth - a single frog measuring two inches has enough venom to kill ten humans. When you do something, be the best at it: an INTJ mantra.
Way of life: Golden poison frogs live in the humid forests of the Colombian coast. They’re a social animal, living in groups of up to six. They’re highly intelligent and, like all poison dart frogs, can recognise human caregivers after a few weeks.
How they’re doing: Despite being one of the most poisonous vertebrates in the world, they’re extremely vulnerable to habitat loss, caused by logging, mining, deforestation and pollution from crop spraying. Golden poison frogs live in a very restricted area and this increases their vulnerability further.
What you can do to help: You can make a difference. You could donate to, or raise money for, the Amphibian Survival Alliance which helps to protect amphibians all over the world.
Your results in detail
If you've come out as an Extravert, you will probably still identify with some aspects of an Introvert's personality, and vice versa. This is true for all four of the personality scales - no one falls entirely on one side of a scale. A common analogy is that of your dominant hand: a right-handed person can still use their left hand to do things even if it feels less natural, and it is possible to train yourself to get better with your non-dominant hand. Some people write with their left hand but play tennis right-handed, and some people are fully ambidextrous. It's the same with the four personality scales: although most people have a preference for one side of each scale, everyone uses both.
Here is where you fall on each of the four scales.
When their energy levels are feeling low, Extraverts get them back up by thriving off their friends and their environment, whereas Introverts need some time alone to recharge.
Intuitives like to try new things and daydream about their future, whereas Sensors live in the present and prefer to do things they know they enjoy.
When making a decision, Feelers take into account their own emotions and those of other people, whereas Thinkers try to consider only objective facts.
Judgers enjoy having a plan and feel more relaxed once they have made a decision, whereas Perceivers go with the flow and prefer to keep their options open as long as possible.
