'Patience is a virtue. So proud that you guys are still together.
Hah! I do this and sometimes even a step further, usually with my wife, and intentionally suggest something I know she won't like. This usually leads quickly to an answer from her that we can work...
I think it's totally awesome that you two are at this place. As I think you know, I thought for years that my wife was an ESTJ but that was my misconception as I was reading too much into that...
I dreamed I shot a flare gun just outside of Wrigley Field in Chicago. The flare hit and set fire to a parked car. I then fled the scene before an intense police manhunt could find me. I took...
yes, the types of things that I volunteer for are in line with my strengths and interests. I would have a hard time going outside of that and would not find it as rewarding if I did. I'm not sure...
Pay the bills. On time. Really. Learn from my mistakes, please.
Wow. I have totally been where you are right now... You took me on a backwards trip of almost 20 years. It's great that the guitar thing brings you some joy. That's a nice healthy base to...
I must plead guilty to not getting out into the other forum pool often enough. I have been making the rare appearance in ISTJ-land lately, though.
Deep thought is neither advised or encouraged in our sound bite society. So who is going to bite the bullet and start the Deep Conversational Thread? I nominate the OP.
My going theory was that it was the diabolical plan of an INTJ, so that we'd be distracted by the bright shiny object known as INTJ forum before ever finding our own!
....you think they put ENFP last on the community forum list on purpose.
I may have to reverse psychology this and put on a fancy tie or suit to get the wifey out of the house. Conversely, if she went all sexy dress and choker on me, I'd spin her around and show her...
The King Of Dreams Thank you! It's an honor twice over to be remembered in good favor like this, even though I'm not on much these days. It's an even bigger honor to be mentioned in the...
That seems to be consistent with some of her reactions she has in the workplace. She is short fused with people who try to get ahead in the workplace by bending the rules or ignoring them all...
Wow, a nearly 100 page sticky thread! I have some reading to do. Several months ago, my wife of 16 years came to the conclusion that she is an ISTJ, not an ESTJ as we had believed for a long...
Plastic is money, too.
1. ISTJ (I know this is a shocker for many of you. I have professed over and over about my ESTJ wife and our relationship, but as it turns out she is truly an ISTJ. If anyone is actually...
Can you find a niche within the business where the boss might let you install some of your ideas? Maybe a market segment or product that is on the way out anyways, something that he/she has already...
It's like reunion day. I'm back today from a ridiculously long absenteeism stretch, as well. Welcome back!
I had something I was going to reply to around page 3, then read up through page 11 (because I know any proper ISTJ would want me to have read it all) and now I don't know what anything is about...
I love all you guys, especially the ENFP ones! I mean, in a totally not gay way, cuz like none of you would actually turn me on sexually. At least, no male to date has done so, but if anyone had a...
God so help me, I'm a nearly 40 year old married white man who is totally into Ke$ha and Lady Gaga. I just can't seem to admit this to my male friends....
I've just spent the last two hours fine tuning our personal budget.
... makes me want to be a better man.
I've been married almost 16 years to an ESTJ. It's a pretty amazing dynamic. We really do build each other up, and look out for the other's blind spots. Feel free to search my posts, I have...
This one was hard to find an image of. I could read this book at age 3. I suspect, that it's more likely that I just had it memorized. It was a Disney version of Peter and the Wolf ...
I heard they had punch and pie here. I am so disappointed...
I love all of you! Really, I do. This forum is a charm machine thanks to all of you.
Oh my, does this hit home. I was like this my last year or two of college as well... Four things pulled me through, I don't know that I could have made it without all of them having converged at...
Very well put! I might be able to survive for 2 or 3 days without my alone time, but then I start to crack.
The wifey has always had a smaller social circle than I, but is a more intense extravert around the people knows. I also tend to shy back into my own world around those people when I'm with her. ...
I'm still here! Been on a bit of a PerC holiday, but doing well. Life is a blissful roller coaster (oxymoron, perhaps?) with my ESTJ wifey. You're with an ESTJ now? How's that all going? I...
I embraced my 'F' a couple years ago. I had been in major denial. Prior results: ENTP, INTP I'm really towards the middle on the E/I scale, that was probably the hard one to figure out. I...
It's the shoe, isn't it? Gawd, I need to find a pair of these IRL. Thank you, you are much too kind. The King Of Dreams , WMDistraction : saw your tips of the cap earlier too, thank you as well....
you are a benevolent inventor. With very high femininity. Please excuse me, I think 'The View' just came on TV.
I remember being an awful pre-teen. So bad, I'm really really afraid for what's in store for me in the coming years, as I become more and more certain that my 10 year old girl is probably an ENFP...
I've been lurking this forum quite a bit lately but can't seem to get my groove on to put together a creative post.
This realization was large for me as well. It took until about 3 months before my wedding to figure it out in these terms, and about 8 years of marriage to completely believe it.

I've been married for over 15 years now to a lovely ESTJ that I met in my college years. I knew it had potential the first time we spent any time together alone... I had this campus job where I...
I take it when I can get it. Today is the classic example. I sent the kids off for school, played a game of poker online, watched the latest beavis and butthead, drank my ass off, and ate popcorn. ...
I remember a clip on the TV news many years ago of Mia Hamm knocking in field goals at Kansas City Chiefs practice. She was totally just messing around with the boys on the team, but I was really...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM8bTdBs-cw Was a tossup between this and Fade to Black.
Ditto this! For the most part I am the most docile person you've ever met. However, I have this thing for men who abuse women and children. And yeah, I don't care about the odds, I'll take on...
I'm drinking alone today. And I like it.
The female version of me used to post extensively on here. I miss her. She can rip out my brain and spoon feed it back to me. It's wicked scary.'
