If memory serves correct, most Infantry Officers are ENTJ and pilots tend to be ISTP. According to Myers Briggs ISTP's have Some Alpha Potential, and ENTJ's have A Lot of Alpha Potential. In your opinion, is there truth to this Myers Briggs analysis?

I agree with a lot of the Myers-Briggs analysis, though I would say most infantry officers that I have met are not ENTJ. Most officers pick their MOS while in college (or TBS), and it's easy to do so more based on the expectations of others or cultural norms, and less on their innate personality. I've met plenty of infantry officers who are far from ENTJ, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

All careerist infantry types are type A. The only careerist pilots that are type A are attack/apache pilots. The rest are soft and cuddly.

This is really a trick question. Everyone knows that Infantry NCOs are the studliest.
