Any discussion of Myers-Briggs always makes me remember this quote attributed to Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord.

"I divide my officers into four groups. There are clever, diligent, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and diligent -- their place is the General Staff. The next lot are stupid and lazy -- they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the intellectual clarity and the composure necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is stupid and diligent -- he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always cause only mischief."

Interesting fellow. He had the cojones to tell Hitler to step back, he actively worked to undermine the Holocaust, and he still managed to die of natural causes.

His quote is reminiscent of the almost-axiomatic truth that the best programmers are lazy ones.

My sons like to say "Lazy is another word for efficient".
