Daily Excerpt: Understanding the Entrepreneur (Quinelle) - The Socion Entrpreneur and the MBTI ENTJ

 


Excerpt from Understanding the Entrepreneur (Quinelle) - 

The Socionic Entrepreneur and the MBTI ENTJ

The socionic Entrepreneur is a TIE. This nomenclature stands for an Intuitive Thinking Extrovert who is Rational. (The order of the letters, discussed later, represents the Rational, rather than the Irrational, typology.)

For those familiar with the MBTI, the closest type to the Entrepreneur would be the ENTJ, the Extraverted (note MBTI spelling), Intuitive, Thinking, Rational type. The ENTJ in the MBTI, and especially as defined by Keirsey and Bates (1984), is a leader type. (In Keirsey’s system of metaphors, the ENTJ is a field marshal.) In socionics, there are some small differences between the ENTJ and the Entrepreneur, which may become evident to those familiar with the MBTI later in this book as the various characteristics of the Entrepreneur personality type are discussed.

It is not at all required to know the MBTI in order to understand socionics. In fact, not knowing the MBTI can perhaps make acquisition of socionics easier—no interference from another system. The comparison is given here only for those who do know the MBTI, in order to prevent the assumption of false parallels.

Socionic Names

Socionics has a complex set of “names.” The individual letters of a personality type, of course, stand for a particular Jungian category, for a total of 16 terms. For those steeped in the MBTI tradition, all but two of these terms are the same as in the MBTI. The definitions vary slightly, however, and those definitions will be given in the following chapters.

In addition, each four-letter personality type is generally accorded a specific name. Filatova has used two sets of names, one for readers of her Russian-language book in Russia, names that are more familiar to that population, and one for readers of her English-language book in the West. Readers of this book can become familiar with these names in Filatova’s book, Understanding the People Around You.  

There is an advantage to naming each personality type. It provides a way of visualizing the personality and understanding better how that personality type fits into overall society.

In Memoriam: Carl Don Leaver

Image
  1948-2021 It is with great sadness that MSI Press notes the death of Carl Leaver, CEO of the Press and typesetter and graphic designer par excellence . Many authors have expressed not only condolences but also a sense of legacy from covers he designed that they love.  Here is his obituary: On August 16, 2021, Carl Don Leaver of San Juan Bautista passed into eternal rest. A forester with the US Forest Service in Idaho and Montana, he turned to nature photography while working in the Bitterroot National Forest. His photographs graced national magazine covers and on a weekly basis the local paper of Hamilton, MT, the Ravalli Republican. He later worked on photography projects for the US Army (AFEES) and taught photography at the New York Institute of Technology in Amman, Jordan. His final career change led him to computer graphics and publishing as co-owner of MSI Press LLC; his many typeset books and book covers have helped MSI Press authors win a large number of awards over the years,

A Publisher's Conversation with Authors: Book Marketing vs Book Promotion

Image
It is Tuesday. Monday's madness is over, and Wednesday will take us over the hump, so Tuesday it is--for some serious discussion with authors. Tuesday talks mean to address authors in waiting and self-published authors who would like to go a more traditional route or who would at least like to take their steps with a publisher by their side.  Today's post looks at the difference between book marketing and book promotion, two terms that are frequently confused. Leading to the confusion is that some of the same activities are needed for both. In fact, good marketing is dependent upon good promotion. Perhaps the essential difference is that marketing focuses on sales, and promotion focuses on awareness --  noting that without awareness, sales generally do not happen. Book Marketing Book marketing includes promotion, sales, and increasing awareness of the availability of the book. It generally starts with a marketing plan that identifies the target audiences and selects marketing t
