It's not about good or bad, but about how unique God created each of us in His image. We are all different yet, the same.

ENTP! Yep, Miss Innovator here, for sure!

Creative, resourceful, and intellectually quick. Good at a broad range of things. Yes.

Enjoy debating issues... No...debates usually lead to arguments and I HATE to argue. Now, if I happen to be engaged in conversation with someone who is not argumentative and is genuinely wanting to know my opinion, regardless of whether or not they agree with it, then I will jump all over that!

...may be into "one-up-manship". Not consciously or because I'm trying to belittle anyone. However, I learned something recently. Wish I were at my office computer where I have an index of my comments and could insert the link here, but not long ago someone put out a post talking about emphatic listening. The next part of my personality, they get very excited about new ideas and projects, is what seems to get me in trouble!

You see, it's not that I'm not interested in others or am trying to outdo anyone. I just tend to get quite excited...and forget that others aren't as quick to insert their comments or share their ideas as I am. After reading the post on emphatic listening, I realized how easy it is for people to perceive me as trying to "one up" them. Now that I'm aware of this, I am trying hard to pay attention, especially when I'm around those are "wired" quite differently than me.

...may neglect the more routine aspects of life.
Hmmm...not sure about this. Does being bored with the routine aspects of life count? (grin) I'm DEFINITELY an out-of-the-box kind of person and whatever is the "norm" I pretty much want to re-write it and do something different. So, don't ever say things to me like, "Well...we've always done it this way." I'll say, "but why??" while thinking of 1000 other ways to do it!

Generally outspoken and assertive. They enjoy people and are stimulating company. Excellent ability to understand concepts and apply logic to find solutions.

Guilty as charged!

(And, Hellen, I LOVED that post of prayers for the different personality types! It's one of my favs, here!)

According to the BC test which is greatly abbreviated I am ISTP

The more comprehensive test I took years ago is more accurate: ENFP

To be fair though, there are many other factors not accounted for by the Myers-Briggs.
I am also a St. Bernard! Not sure the name of that test, or the scientific accuracy, but I like it!
It's funny, even though I sometimes think I am being an

IMHO others feel I am much more of an ASHO

I hate it when that happens!

...LOL
