Personality types, recast (from Jay)

-
From time to time I play around with trying to condense the Myers-Briggs model of personality types into its most essential elements, which necessarily entails putting my own spin on it.  Here is my latest attempt ...

  gregarious+concrete+passionate+decisive
      = affectionate (ESFJ)
  gregarious+concrete+passionate+creative
      = engaging (ESFP)
  introspective+concrete+passionate+decisive
      = nurturing (ISFJ)
  introspective+concrete+passionate+creative
      = artistic (ISFP)

  gregarious+imaginative+passionate+decisive
      = charismatic (ENFJ)
  gregarious+imaginative+passionate+creative
      = enthusiastic (ENFP)
  introspective+imaginative+passionate+decisive
      = intuitive (INFJ)
  introspective+imaginative+passionate+creative
      = principled (INFP)

  gregarious+concrete+analytical+decisive
      = authoritative (ESTJ)
  gregarious+concrete+analytical+creative
      = adventurous (ESTP)
  introspective+concrete+analytical+decisive
      = dependable (ISTJ)
  introspective+concrete+analytical+creative
      = logical (ISTP)

  gregarious+imaginative+analytical+decisive
      = focused (ENTJ)
  gregarious+imaginative+analytical+creative
      = pragmatic (ENTP)
  introspective+imaginative+analytical+decisive
      = insightful (INTJ)
  introspective+imaginative+analytical+creative
      = inventive (INTP)
