I can hazard a few guesses:

ENTJ: Electro-Neuro Technicians of Jersey
ENFJ: England-Nigeria Federation of Jousters
INFP: India-Norway Foundation of Proctologists
INTJ: International Nerds Teaching Japanese

I take it I'm nowhere close, right?

OK, I don't mean to mock anyone, but trying to make heads or tails of this thread is impossible when you have no I.D.E.A. what all those abbreviations mean. Anyone willing to help out the ignorant here?

Great perspective, KYEG: Luckily, I'm not in a competitive career, so, no back-stabbing needed. lindysalsagal Jun 2019 #9
