MBTI

Architect

Analysts INTJ

Imaginative and strategic thinkers, with a plan for everything

'This study contrasts most other studies which can generally agree on type distribution. That alone isn't enough to say this study is invalid, but I checked the link and didn't see a source for the...

Does anyone have sources?

Staying physically active clears my head.

I don't believe that you can single out one function and develop it. The cognitive functions are part of a whole. For example an INTJ is Ni Te Fi Se. The idea is that the letters are dominant in a...

I wish there were more of you.

I agree with your post in the sense that you can't use MBTI to define yourself, and shouldn't as an for excuse insecurities, but I do think there is some merit to the idea. Even if someone is...

Sorry, I didn't word my post very well. I didn't mean to say that people of the same type have the same strengths in each preference. I was just trying to bolster my point about test percentages...

I think this is pretty accurate, except for the part about occupations. I want nothing to do with religion. I'm interested in innovation and design more than finances which is contradictory to the...

I'm not sure if you are talking about online tests, but the percentages only indicate the surety of the test. Ie. 2% E means you didn't prefer E over I very much in the test results. (Which are not...

My bad about thinking it was office related. I thought I saw something about work in OP but I guess I didn't. But please explain to me what exactly about my post is invalid besides mentioning...

That's really flawed logic. Fi does not measure how much crap you take from people. That's like saying I have Se so I never miss any details that are around me ever. Please don't state things...

I heard that if you possess any human qualities you have to be an INFJ. /sarcasm Anyway, just because you are typed as a thinker doesn't mean you obey only logic. Human beings are not logical, we...

You feel safe? .. Excellent, all is according to plan. [Insert evil laugh here]

I agree. INFP that is idealizing as an intj.

Hold on a minute. How are you so sure you are an INFJ? This entire post was created so that you could figure it out. How can you so easily explain this entire event in INFJ Fe terms if you didn't...

You are not an INTJ. Have you ruled out INFP?

I think it really depends on the type, and it's a little bit of a generalization to say all T's. It could have to do with cognitive functions. I for one, really like INFP's company and I relate to...

Meh. I don't care if MBTI is a perfect science or not. It's a tool to help understand yourself and other people. In that respect I think it does a decent job.

You shouldn't plan life around MBTI. Instead of going on a forum and trying to figure out if you are a good designer psychologically (good luck, you'll need it), go design something. Side Note:...

You guys sure he's infj? I think that it would be easier for infj's to understand their own type than another, and the fact that he is a mystery but similar could mean he is intj. Not trying to rain...

This

So far, all of the descriptions I have found for MBTI really only show the positives of each type. Do you guys know of any more realistic ones?

This question is generating interesting responses. I find I think of things similarly to retrochick, probably because of shared Ni dominance. Anyway, when I let my mind wander I jump to random ideas,...

I agree that focusing on the personalities and using them as an excuse hinders you, but MBTI can be useful in different ways. For me, learning about the different types widens my horizons, and allows...

What Pau7 said is very accurate. You should also watch this. How to tell apart INTJ vs ISTJ - YouTube

How do you know he is an INTJ? I really don't see his indirectness and topic changes to avoid the situation as something an INTJ would do. We are very direct, and you should directly ask him. If he...

Hey everyone, please help clear up my confusion about S types. I'm looking to know the differences, and not stereotypes about intelligence. Specifically, I want to know what Si and Se are in...

I think you're an intj. You seem like an Ni and you use Te more than Fe. I've gone through the same process as you have, and the way I figured my type was by comparing myself to other intj's and...

I agree. The interaction between the two types is interesting. Ni Te Fi Se vs Fi Se Ni Te

Thank you everyone, with this information I have decided that I am INTJ.

This is posted here and not in the INTJ forum because I think INFJ's are better at typing in general. Below are some things about me in a semi-organized way. I only put information that I thought...

Guys you can't just choose to avoid an inferior function. It's like saying you can stop using your liver whenever you want, to get drunk faster. Your inferior function is part of who you are.

Please keep arguing with us, because obviously we are all wrong and you are right.

Extroverts seem introverted when they are alone. Extroverts seem extroverted when they are talking. Introverts seem extroverted while talking, and introverted when they are alone. Interesting...

So you want to make a post to only further stereotypes about each type? We already have enough stereotypes, and a thread about insulting personality types. Please close.

I don't know if you are referencing my post, but to clarify, my second point was that even if introverts are happy, they probably wouldn't show it as much as extroverts, and my final point wasn't...

First of all, how can scientific studies measure something subjective, such as happiness? These are just numbers. Even assuming that happiness is measurable, extroverts would appear happier by...

No, waking up and knowing you will be punched is not a super power, some Ni trick or other bs, it's thinking to yourself, hey, I really pissed them off yesterday.

I find that a lot of people with aspergers are INTJ's.

I'm sensitive. I love music and can appreciate the little things in life. I still have the arrogant INTJ cover, but there is a lot I'm not showing.

Let's break this down I's because generally, they are slower to join discussions than e's. OP mentioned checking daily, so n because s types are normally less interested in MBTI (please don't take...

True, but I'm not arguing about culture.

No, evolution is not the case. MBTI hasn't been around for a very long time, and evolution doesn't happen over night.

Define friend. I am very selective when I choose who I want to spend time with. I don't like half of the people I meet, and that goes both ways. I don't want to know people on a superficial level. I...

Another for INTJ, but only on good days. youtube.com/watch?v=9ylVRGttEW4

It is true that MBTI is a theory, but the reason people are here is because they believe it. It is important to remember that the personality types do not define you. They define an average. No one...

The concept works, but I don't see why people would use this when they can just write 4 letters to identify themselves.

I thought Isabelle Meyers was an INFP. Also, the ENTP cannot be treated as either, because of socionics. INTP's and ENTP's have very different thought patterns.

Criticize the poster above me? You suck. This game is easy.

I would say you are intj, except that you are smiling in your picture. INTJ's are robots and in the code I found doSmile() == false. Therefore you must be an intp.'
