Until recently, I thought I was an INTP. Now that I have a better understanding of the functions, it's apparent to me that I'm an ENTJ.

Of course not; I'm merely another moron who fails to appreciate your brilliance.
Infj.
I've made considerable progress recovering from clinical depression; if you'd like, I'd be happy to talk to you -- just send me a PM.
:popcorn:
I take a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor known as Strattera: I've been on it for about three months now, and it's done a fairly-decent job of reducing my ADD symptoms. I've never used a medicinal...

Definitely. In fact, the larger issue in my opinion, is that divisions beyond temperament are largely useless. While I can recognize the merit of SP, SJ, NF, and NT, the overreaching similarities...
My doctor prescribes me blue pills.
Just to be clear, I wasn't criticizing you, merely that framework you found on Reddit.
This thread is probably the most absurd example of reductionist-misconception I've ever seen.
C'mon, damnit, I don't think the OP intended to start this thread just for it to roll over and die... Let's get some fucking discussion, M8s! Anyone opposed to the idea that this personality...
platorepublic I completely share your sentiment. If I could, I'd wipe out every neuron in my mind that's storing information about this wonderful personality model.

I wish I had a device that could induce time-dilation.. Meh, I suppose I should be content that I already achieved thyme-travel when I cooked that chicken the other night.
Endologic I just want 250 posts so I can get into the debate thread..
Absolutely. Helps my post-count.
Endologic You're doing a wonderful job enriching the discussion.
Interesting.. What would differentiate Ni's subjective reasoning from Ti's subjective reasoning?
BigApplePi (btw your name is pure win) I'm still not entirely convinced that the cognitive functions are anything more than interesting speculation.. Of course I understand that all of...
Lately I've gravitated more toward David Keirsey's interpretation; it seems to me a more practical and reasonable approach. This is a site that concisely summarizes the issues I have with the...
Forgive me if this sounds trite, but I'm curious as to why you say that. What convinces you of the function's existence? Even so, how can they be measured? If they can be measured, and improved, then...
Poor you. It's lonely at the top.
If you're not exaggerating
Judging by your profile picture, obviously not as little as you.
Do you live in a mental hospital?
^(shameless clickbait) I tend to favor David Keirsey's interpretation of Jung's theory over those advocating cognitive functions. I believe it makes more sense from a practical standpoint, and...

Madman Bravo, Mr. Clever, with such nuggets of wisdom as: Personality can only in a very broad sense be defined. Everyone is different so in a sense there are as many personalities as there are...
Why? If I might ask, and also, why are you on Personality Cafe?
I'm curious to know how mental illness would affect a personality's natural tendencies. For example, I'm (pretty sure) I'm an INTP, and I have OCD and MDD. Consistent with my personality, the...

Thank you. That makes sense. I just wanted to make sure you were saying something of actual value, and not just another pseudo-profound remark that wastes everyone's time. (*cough* 70% of this...
There are four letters under your username, and unless they got there by accident, someone had to have put them there.
Welcome. I look forward to hearing your cutting-edge insights, and I'll try not to be offended when you trump me with your intellect. I'm impressed by your philosophical profundity; liking things in...

I apologize for responding so harshly, I'm going through an incredibly difficult time in my life right now, and anger is one of the emotions that flood me from time to time. Now that I understand...
Well, aren't you the observant one. I congratulate you on your remarkable finding. The correct name of the author was a crucial facet of my original post. Now that you've brought clarity to the...
OrangeAppled Did I scare you away? Those letters really are intimidating, aren't they?
abandon ship.
So the machine is busted, eh?
disclaimer: by demons I meant destructive forces, not supernatural entities
Well, I'm not opposed to it; I just don't find it likely. I suppose I should mention also, that I was diagnosed with OCD (purely obsessional) and Major Depression two months ago. This might be...
I can't really say for sure, because Jung didn't really think of the layman when he wrote Psychological Types. His writing I find extremely difficult to piece together, and even more difficult to...'
