When it comes to home and life situations, you guys have similar issues that Organic types do. You have big picture vision, so your homes have a cohesive look, but you don’t have a natural strength for details, so that clutter and books can become a problem, and depending on how much structure you prefer to have in your world, you may either be very overwhelmed by home and life issues or just mildly.

If any of this sounds eerily familiar then you are probably Smart. Whether you love a good party or would prefer a quiet night at home, read on to see if you are Smart Structure or Smart Freedom.

  • Smart Structures • NTJ

    SMART STRUCTURE (NTJ) You are hard working and intellectually curious with lots of structure in your life and world. You are a natural strategist and problem solver. You are almost always competent and confident when put in charge (in fact you often find yourself in this position if you haven't already taken the wheel from the idiot who was running the show before you). When the proverbial sh-t hits the fan, you remain calm and are the much appreciated lighthouse in the storm. Patience is NOT your top virtue when dealing with incompetence or overemotional "drama queens", "Amen..." is likely what you're thinking right about now as you think of that waiter who took 20 minutes to bring you your wine last night and brought the wrong one.

  • Smart Freedoms • NTP

    SMART FREEDOM (NTP) You are intellectually curious, highly resourceful and confident in your own self-sufficiency. You almost always see the big picture and strategize from there. You are imaginative and open to possibility. The key difference between you and SMART STRUCTURE is that you are spontaneous, flexible, and adaptable. It's a bit difficult for you to work on routine tasks but when the problem is complex or intellectually fascinating, you are energized and intently focused on completing the task at hand. Your natural spontaneity makes you more tolerant and patient than your SMART STRUCTURE counterparts ... but even you have limits when faced with utter incompetence or annoying busybodies.
