Rational Portrait of the Fieldmarshal (ENTJ)
Of the four aspects of strategic analysis and definition it is marshaling or situational organizing role that reaches the highest development in the Fieldmarshal. As this kind of role is practiced some contingency organizing is necessary, so that the second suit of the Fieldmarshal's intellect is devising contingency plans. Structural and functional engineering, though practiced in some degree in the course of organizational operations, tend to be not nearly as well developed and are soon outstripped by the rapidly growing skills in organizing. But it must be said that any kind of strategic exercise tends to bring added strength to engineering as well as organizing skills.
Hardly more than two percent of the total population, Fieldmarshals are bound to lead others, and from an early age they can be observed taking command of groups. In some cases, they simply find themselves in charge of groups, and are mystified as to how this happened. But the reason is that they have a strong natural urge to give structure and direction wherever they are - to harness people in the field and to direct them to achieve distant goals. They resemble Supervisors in their tendency to establish plans for a task, enterprise, or organization, but Fieldmarshals search more for policy and goals than for regulations and procedures.
They cannot not build organizations, and cannot not push to implement their goals. When in charge of an organization, whether in the military, business, education, or government, Fieldmarshals more than any other type desire (and generally have the ability) to visualize where the organization is going, and they seem able to communicate that vision to others. Their organizational and coordinating skills tends to be highly developed, which means that they are likely to be good at systematizing, ordering priorities, generalizing, summarizing, at marshaling evidence, and at demonstrating their ideas. Their ability to organize, however, may be more highly developed than their ability to analyze, and the Fieldmarshal leader may need to turn to an Inventor or Architect to provide this kind of input.
Fieldmarshals will usually rise to positions of responsibility and enjoy being executives. They are tireless in their devotion to their jobs and can easily block out other areas of life for the sake of their work. Superb administrators in any field - medicine, law, business, education, government, the military - Fieldmarshals organize their units into smooth-functioning systems, planning in advance, keeping both short-term and long-range objectives well in mind. For the Fieldmarshal, there must always be a goal-directed reason for doing anything, and people's feelings usually are not sufficient reason. They prefer decisions to be based on impersonal data, want to work from well thought-out plans, like to use engineered operations - and they expect others to follow suit. They are ever intent on reducing bureaucratic red tape, task redundancy, and aimless confusion in the workplace, and they are willing to dismiss employees who cannot get with the program and increase their efficiency. Although Fieldmarshals are tolerant of established procedures, they can and will abandon any procedure when it can be shown to be ineffective in accomplishing its goal. Fieldmarshals root out and reject ineffectiveness and inefficiency, and are impatient with repetition of error.
Hillary Clinton, Napoleon, Margret Thatcher, Carl Sagan, Bill Gates, Golda Meir, Edward Teller, George Benard Shaw, and General George C. Marshall are examples of Rational Fieldmarshals.

the perfect marriage is one where two person who loves each other dearly come together.
a quote of Randomness.
It is cool how being indispensible can be stressful yet fulfilling.
Another statement of randomness.
I was suppose to go for the wine + cheese thingy with my ex manager today. but i had prior appointment and didnt make it. some part of me felt guilty, like i havent been putting in much effort in maintaining the relationship between us. some part of me started argueing how maintaining the relationship was tough due to my tight schedule and massive workload. somehow the guilty part dominates today.
I am efficient, a fast learner and not to mention enthusiastic worker. But, i fault more than once. i wonder whether that wld take a toll on my performance. I lack the experience to differentiate errors. i wonder when i will be able to EYE BALL and know whats wrong with the data.
Sometimes i feel tired of explaining my situation to my colleagues. like when i am feeling lousy esp. cuz im always worried that they might 'feedback' to the bosses. usually i complain for that moment. i will forget.... it gets messy if my bosses ask me about my PREVIOUS unhappiness when i am already like HAPPY. hahaha.
I cant stand him. he pissed me off so badly i can stab him. Wats the problem with him. hes jealous of us? that we're getting more exposure than him? doing more than him? more valued than him? well, hes not wrong. he sucks cuz hes only good at 'smoking'. and smoking is getting banned everywhere ( mind the lameness). come on. we know u are more senior than us. don have to keeeep reminding us. how dare he ASK me to GET drink for him when I was actually doing.. RUSHING work to be sent out to the COO? while all hes doing is kapo-ing, poking his nose into my previous reports ( reports which i have already done and long over).I ACTUALLY told him i have work to rush and he stillll asked me to get him a drink... i needa step out of the office, walk over to get him a drink. not to mention the mega long queue at the small convenient store. the stupidest thing is. he tried to point out how the data is wrong. when it is actually his failing eyesight. he was surprised/shocked/stunned that i was sending/preparing teh analysis to the big shots etc. watsoever... comeon. he can do it if he wants lah. if he can do it. WAH LAU. hes best skill is to 'sian'. I feel so bullied.outrightly bullied. Fug la. ( vulgar in a cute sense. i am not exactly pissed now. but was vulgarly pissed then)
I am actually getting settled in my job. feeling upset and high on alternate days. getting used to the numerous deadlines per day. 10amX3 reports. 12pmX2 reports. 1214pmX1 report. end of month X 1 report. problem week X ppt report. adhoc X infinity reports.i will stay i guess. ( i say that every sat so i don have to actively look for a job over the weekend).
