MBTI

Architect

Analysts INTJ

Imaginative and strategic thinkers, with a plan for everything

'I will probably do my best to avoid them. When I am around them, though, I would likely be as neutral as possible. I might be very direct to them when talking to them, but never rude. I would not...

I could absolutely start to talk on the phone and clean my apartment at the same time in an effort to minimize downtime on a busy day. The focus would probably be on the conversation though, so it's...

I work in IT and study computer engineering. For me, programming is almost an art form. It gives me a chance to build a perfect world without having to actually interact with the physical world....

Very close friends 5. These are people I might actually make an effort to initiate contact with. I love them very much, though I'm never quite sure if they know what they mean to me. I would drop...

In myself? Any time something I do isn't perfect. In others? Very rarely. I don't put high expectations on others unless I'm confident they will live up to them.

I've never experienced love at first sight, although the idea is appealing to me. It would make life so much simpler to have clear distinctions. Mostly, though, I see everything as some sort...

Most of what you mention could probably go either way. When I was trying to figure out my dom function I looked at my childhood. There is likely a fairly big difference between an EFJ and INJ...

I study computer engineering. I've always been interested in technology and computers, so it was kind of a natural choice. I'm a fairly heavy Ti user, and I found the Ni-Ti combo very useful for...

I have a fairly complete and very complex world that I've worked on for something like 20 years now, that's always ticking in the background. Typically I'll just land somewhere in it and explore for...

Usually, I find Ne very exciting to interact with. While Ne seems to produce a ton of really crazy stuff that I usually want to kill instantly, I really need someone with strong Ne around me to not...

A few choices are fetal position, starfish position, soldier position, kicking in your sleep, movements in your sleep, face up, face down. Fetal, sometimes starfish. Do you like the sheets tucked...

I really don't think he is. When I get that close to someone I don't typically get mad at them, for anything. Having said that, I have never, in my life, said a real and emotional goodbye. And I...

Hrm. This is actually a pretty difficult topic, because decisions is not really a thing for me. Either I already know what to do, because that's what's going to lead me where I want to be in [5...

I don't embarrass myself, or at least I will work hard to avoid it. If it does happen anyway I will go to great lengths to cover it up if possible. I'm afraid it will otherwise give away a crack or...

If I'm actively seeking someones company, that means the person is either one of my very few closest friends or someone I am interrested in. So yes, I would say he is. Typically, I run into a few...

I disagree. While some feelings may seem foreign enough for you not consider them valid, it does not make them any less valid for the person experiencing them. Hitler was brought up as an example....

It's just one of those days where everything seems to be going against me, not to mention everyone I meet seems to be working hard on trying to trigger me. I have so much frustration I don't know...

1. Could you explain your situation? (e.g., I'm a full-time student or I work full-time, et cetera). I'm a half-time student and work full-time, and heavily engaged in the Student Union at my...

I study and work in computer engineering, so my mind is often occupied by abstract and fairly complex architectures and systems. When tryiong to build something or figuring something out, I mostly...

1) Taking a walk, during quite hours if possible, just letting the mind flow. 2) Watching TV series. 3) Planning for a project of some sort, without necessarily actually committing to carry it...

I consider physical contact an important part of creating mutual trust. I can't get truly close to anyone, friend or otherwise, without some sort of physical contact. For me, a hug is an easy way to...

Personally, I'm always very aware with what I share, even with my closest friends. I will typically share ideas and opinions quite freely, but if I share personal problems or emotions then we're...

I love my Ni, but a lot of the times I feel life would be easier as an extravert. So I guess ENJ types.

While I do thrive in a stable environment, I could never be satisfied with just a job and a partner. I want to inflict change, I want to affect others. I want to leave a mark. Though, I suppose, if...

While this may be possible, I find it to be a fairly simplistic and one-sided view of things. I have never opened up 100% of myself to anyone, but this is not an active decision. Every part of myself...

I always try to maintain eye contact with the person who is speaking to me, and that's usually easy if the conversation is not too complex. If I'm not careful I'll start drifting away thinking about...

1. I just put together a bunch of new IKEA furnitures in my living room. 2. Since I haven't had time to throw them out, I'm stacking all the packaging in my bedroom. 3. I am also storing several...

What I really need from an ending is closure, preferably with some sort of peek into what happens after. I like emotional endings, but it will also affect me a lot. If there's a powerful sad ending...

1. This one always takes me by surprise, even though I know I should expect it. It's not just that it's insanely open-ended, there's also the expectation (at least there is in my mind) from the...

Argh. It works a lot better if I am consulted before decisions are made that involve me. I hate having to replan a whole week.

I also wouldn't be so sure INFJs actually are the rarest. It could just as well be that they are just the most mistyped. I find the points in INFJ or INFP? a closer look very interesting as well.

Cheese. Cheese on cracker, cheese on a cookie, cheese with fruit or just plain cheese. The word even tastes good...cheese...

I actively try very, very hard not to do this because I know I can sit hours with a single post and then just never send it. And afterwards I always feel it was such a waste of time. I almost never...

Surprised about the upbeat mood on the 7:10 tram on my way to work. On a Saturday. What are all these people doing up, and why are they all so talkative?

As an Ni dom, when I program I almost always have a very complete picture in my head of how the different parts of the program will interact with each other and what the purpose of every part will...

I have a lot of trouble focusing on something without drifting away in my mind, even if it's something I'm really interested in. I find that I focus a lot better if I hold on to something physical,...

Winter. I love the cold, I love the snow, I love being able to hide inside a large winter jacket hood. And I love how there are no bugs.

I'm not sure controlling is the exact word I was looking for, maybe manipulating is a more correct term :tongue: I think this comes from having a very clear idea of where I want the world around...

This was kindof hard. Since my memory tends to be crappy I did this based on my last couple of years of interactions. 1. Observing, distant, cold 2. Careful, suspicious, polite [for as long as...

Dear ENFJ, I don't think anyone has ever managed to wipe out my defenses that quick before. Please don't hurt me. Sincerely, Me

After weeks of being stressed to the point where I'm having trouble sleeping (and I NEVER have any trouble sleeping) I finally did a smart thing and stayed in my apartment for the entire day just...

I love walking around town during night, as long as I stay away from the more intense nightlife areas. Either alone or with a good friend. Life would be so much better if there were more coffee shops...

Hi! I'm a 27 year old computer engineering student from Sweden. I started reading about MBTI a few months ago and I can't really understand now why I didn't look into this earlier. The reason I...

I've never actually considered SJ since no tests have indicated anything in that realm, but maybe I should take a closer look at that anyway and see if I can relate. I generally don't feel Si is...

Thanks a lot for all the replies! It's really interesting to see how you guys reason around it (not to mention I've probably learned more about myself by just writing this down, which I don't think I...

Hi! I'm fairly new into MBTI, and I find it really facinating. However, I have some trouble identifying completly with a type. I have a couple of different types that I am looking at - but there...'
