Stolen from the INTJ group:

Good Ways To Motivate INTJs At Work
- More responsibility.
- More autonomy.
- Eliminate red tape that restricts our creativity and efficiency.
- Move us into a private office.
- Upgrade our computer. (Even better: let us upgrade our computers.)
- Involve us in making decisions that affect us.
- Pay raises and bonuses.
- Meaningful training. (Upgrade our qualifications. Teach us a programming language. That sort of stuff.)
- Don't fuss over our contributions.

Bad Ways To Motivate INTJs At Work
- Birthday parties.
- Hawaiian shirt day and other Mandatory Cheerfulness Days.
- Corporate pens, coffee mugs, tote bags and other swag.
- Meaningless training. (Team-building weekends, leadership development courses, etc.)
- Restrictions on freedom of thought and movement.
- Public recognition of the "ring this bell every time you succeed" variety.
- Annual/quarterly reviews that don't count for anything.
- Meeting with Human Resources people in general.
- Pep talks from supervisors who don't understand us.

Of course, these things *would* motivate me at work, if I could just find a job.

5:05 pm - Watch for Venus
In the west at sunset. Light Hesperian verse:

I stood beside a hill
Smooth with new-laid snow,
A single star looked out
From the cold evening glow.

There was no other creature
That saw what I could see--
I stood and watched the evening star
As long as it watched me.

10:31 pm - Figures. It isn't even a planet anymore.


Your result for What Planet are You From? Test...

You are from Pluto!

33% Pluto

Well, well. So you are from Pluto, eh? I’m not surprised at all.


Pluto was once considered to be a cold and distant planet and the furthest away from the sun. Now it is one of the dwarf planets in our solar system. It was discovered in 1930, and has been quite an enigma.


It’s named after the Roman god Pluto who was originally the god of metals and then also took on the role of god of the underworld. He had a way of digging things up and bringing them out to the open. If he was an alien on the planet I’m sure he became quite popular and perhaps even a little bit scary.


But what does this mean about you?


Well, first off it means that you don’t like secrets. You will dig until you get to the truth, even if it means that you have to stir things up a bit in order to do it. You would probably make a great detective. You tend to notice things around you.


You have a life altering personality about you. If things aren’t going well you have no trouble pulling out what you think is bad and rebuilding. You could probably go somewhere totally new and be able to make a new life for yourself without the same problems other people might have. You have a strong will and are very motivated.


My only hope is that you don’t try to take over the world. It would never be the same again. But, on the other hand, maybe that’s not such a bad thing after all.
