“Under the leadership of a man you have all chosen to flee. We shall see how you prove yourselves under the hand of a woman.”
-Ching Shih

The Amazon Warrior steamrolls through history and makes the world uncomfortable. As a woman of heroics and daring, history veers away from you, perhaps because the historians never knew what to make of your exploits. You were too radical, too adventuresome, and so much larger than life that history assumed you to be some kind of anomaly. But you’re not. You are the Amazon Warrior, a fighting woman of unorthodox and unpredictable ways. Your bold actions may seem haphazard or even reckless to most, but you always seem to strike the decisive blow. There’s an incredible intuitive method in your madness. Even though you are winging it, you have the uncanny ability to get it right, seemingly without a plan. You maneuver by trusting your instincts and constantly stay ahead of your opponents. Your enemies may plot and act against you, but at the end of the day, you’re the one still on top. And it drives the historians mad.

Helen of Troy

Your All-Star line-up is full of female pirates and renegades who inspired others to great action. Some men may doubt your abilities, but in history…when you leap up in front of host of misfits, they all end up following your lead. Your swashbuckling charm and fighting spirit are greater than theirs and they know it.

The Amazon Warrior is outgoing, charismatic, sociable, but carries a nasty bite. Your style is captivating but not always pretentious. You piss people off with your bold words and a dismissive attitude. You don’t fit into structured organizations well either. You tend to go your own way and rely on your own judgment rather than some standard operating procedure. Although you’re not exactly an “idea person” who gets hung up on abstractions or outright creative thinking, your personality achieves an unexpected form of unorthodox conquest. Your realistic and material knowledge of the world combine with your improvisation and cunning and the result is a streak of victories against overwhelming odds. You land on original solutions without all the touchy-feely creative process. You’re a woman to be reckoned with and don’t like losing.

Ching Shih

Unafraid of big decisions, the Amazon Warrior proceeds from a position of personal certainty. You’re wiling to take chances, and your enemies know not to underestimate you. They already know you’re up to something. Quite frankly, you don’t always have the patience for careful planning because you’re well-known for rushing into a situation. You trust yourself and prefer to think on your feet. You like to initiate action and force others to react to you, leaving you in control. You’re a bit of a show off too and like attention. In truth, your particular means of attention-seeking and blunt-speaking introduce a kind of endearing childishness to your style. But hey, at least you’re honest. You’re technically sound and highly proficient in your skill sets.

Mariya Oktyabrskaya

The Amazon Warrior makes a perfect, wild card commander on the battlefield. You often prefer to commit to your own original tactics and possess the sound mind and abilities to pull them off. You’re gutsy and like to operate with dangerous theatrics. Fun and fatalism are your drink of choice. And history loves you for it.

Frequency

According to the “MBTI Manual” published by CPP, The Amazon Warrior accounts for 4.3% of the world population. 5.6% of men and 3.0% of women are ESTPs.
