'... when you really did not want to pry into someone's personal life but somehow still end up extensively taking about that persons relationship difficulties and the personality types involved.
... when you wait until the last moment to get started on a task ... when you are fanatic about tactics, strategy and military history ... when you can be brutal about other people
I dunno whether it's the same, but I usually 'friendzone' quite easily. And I'm so genuinely interested in what could be going on with a person and how that would affect him/her, that it may come...
And isn't that the thing? As I understand it, mbti describes some core beliefs/preferences of persons that can be fundamentally different between people. And every person can and will make some use...
21 Masterfully Punny Tweets That Will Make You Laugh Out Loud
I know the feeling! I would say that it's the fault of present society and that it sucks. However, then I start thinking about if it actually can be people's 'fault' to be a certain way... :rolleyes:...
He may be asking himself whether he actually did see your more subtle signals. And, of course, analyze all their potential meanings. I know I would. :tongue: And with stuff like this I would probably...
This probably is very true. I know I hurt my loved one with indecision for a very long time before I could make my mind up. I'm often an all or noticing person, and as I wasn't quite sure it was...
The other day, after half an hour of conversation with a relatively new person in my life: Do you ever not think at all? My thoughts: Really, this question this quickly? And no, I don't. I always...
Honestly, I don't think I would want to. I have no problem with being the forward one, meaning the one who starts sharing. But if I get nothing in return I close up and not befriend someone like that.
... when you keep forgetting how much energy it takes you to teach a class well ... when in a difficult conversation with a (probable) ISTJ, you get assaulted by emotion so much that it is difficult...

Edit: Whoops. I just posted a video in the wrong thread. My apologies. It is morning... :confused:
Definitely! Almost all the time. I'm not sure, but I think most of the times I was truly engaged in the here and now I was on adrenaline. Sometimes it feels like I'm constantly being dragged in by my...
Yesterday again: You should just do things and not think so much about them!
...when you suddenly realize that in a conversation you had with someone who probably is a thinker, he was having fun debating content, while you were feeling miserable because you could not get a...
...when a professor trashes you scientific work, in hurts incredibly for days. But you are still looking for ways to normalize your personal relation with him, rather than seeking the debate over...

... when in a good conversation with someone it seems as if all sensory information just isn't there, because you focus way to much on connecting with the person you're talking to, and on thinking...
...when given too many tasks with short deadlines and high priority, you feel like you're being torn apart, are not able to focus well enough to do tasks well and end up working very inefficiently.

I can relate to that. However, do you not think that caring too much about the bigger picture and/or the needs or wants of others can also be a problem? I know for a fact that the 'I'll do what...
It does, thanks! I will chew on this for a bit to what insight pops out of all this... :wink: One thing I do now already though. Legal sciences are much easier for me to visualize then psychology!...
Octavian Actually, you don't sound blunt to me so much as interesting/intriguing. I definitely recognize a lot in your post (and btw, I've gotten the book; waiting for it now). Maybe I have the...
Octavian Tnx for the links! I'm probably getting the book. After reading the replies I'm not entirely sure my initial question was completely related to Fe. How does one conceptualize a very strong...
Thanks all for the reactions. I'm looking for a way to counteract this behaviour. Sometimes with a lot of meditation I will know what I actually want, rather what I feel I 'should' do for whatever...
NIHM imagination is not stupid, but cool! I bet the world would be a much nicer place if everyone would just use their imagination for positive purposes. :wink: Now how hard can that be? :wink:
Lately I've been noticing that my decisions are usually based on what I think others want or expect of me. I already knew that in general, but what I think to notice now is that when I have a dilemma...
Crap. This morning I had the 'why are you staring at me?' again? I wasn't. I was just thinking, staring into the distance. Through a person that was standing between me and the distance. :tongue:
Gross!! :tongue:
... when you are really surprised and touched when someone with a background in psychology tells you she remembers you because you could so very clearly describe and analyze your identity, while you...

aloneinmusic Sometimes it's almost scary how much others follow the same weird brain patterns as I do! :wink:
aloneinmusic you know you are an INFJ when you think/worry a lot about what friendship is and whether you actually have friends... :wink: I think I basically have the same definitions as you but use...
Good observations! As far as I'm concerned: 1. Yes, definitely quite possible. I usually hide my disliking other people, although people who may know me well will definitely see the difference...

aloneinmusic I know what you mean. It's just that my brain will almost never just stop at a short comment. Usually it comes up with lots of connected interesting thoughts I then want to share with...

Klaro26 I can see exactly what is meant by this. I think it's so sad!! People ought to be able to speak about stuff like this to someone. On the other hand, not to everyone of course. With them, this...

Today I was very happy when a colleague who hardly ever shows his feelings choose me to share his feelings with. He told me he knows I can separate between what he has told me of a specific...
LOL! I always just assumed everybody can do this if they were just to try, but maybe not. It does take some empathy.:wink:
As to temperament, I think this explanation on YouTube may help. If nothing else, I found it hilarious (the image quality is bad, but the sound is good): http://youtu.be/jrdZI3vJFPg

LOL, I feel the need to elaborate a bit on my initial question. It's not so much that I actively convince people to do a test, but more that I tell so enthusiastically about it that quite a few...
I've read quite a few posts on the forum that people are very enthusiastic about mbti and talk people into doing an mbti test. As I'm hugely enthusiastic, I'm certainly a case in point. So how many...

Hi Ubister, Welcome to the forum! I think there are quite a few Dutch people like us on the forum. :wink: Although I don't think I've found me all yet. Anyway, enjoy!'
