Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) / Keirsey Temperament Sorter (KTS):
1992 -- ENTJ / INTJ (XNTJ: even split between Extraverted and Introverted)
1997 -- ENTJ / ESTJ (EXTJ: even split between iNtuition and Sensing)

Please note:

Both ENTJ and INTJ fit well, almost perfectly, though I often seem to be a better INTJ than an ENTJ.

I suspect the apparent shift from INTJ to ESTJ. INTJ is a very much better fit than ESTJ, my "traditionalist" attitudes notwithstanding. The ESTJ result may be a manifestation of my rational acceptance of "tradition" under which the tried and true ways, having long been proven by experience, are our most logical course, unless proven otherwise— and "feelings," pro ("God's way") or con ("social justice"), aren't proof.

As ENTJ is consistent, thus apparently dominant, consider yourself warned . . .
