'This seems like the feeling that you do have is Fi, to me. You also seem like you're probably sp (enneagram instinctual variant--different system but you might want to look at that too as that can...
Oops, just wanted to say I don't know why I suggested ISTJ at first when you said you didn't use Te. Since you revised yourself, it's a moot point, but still odd of me to say.
Then it would seem that you're either ISTJ or INTP. I'm getting an ISTJ feel from your questionnaire, but I wouldn't put too much worth into that. What I would do is what you seem to be doing: ...
Interesting. actually, one of the persons questioning my type seemed to be getting fairly disproportionately upset herself, although I don't really want to go too much into it here.
Thanks; I'll look at these shortly.
yes, and yes I started filling out the enneagram form and found a lot of the questions oddly difficult to answer. In any event, thanks !
Locked up, as in, not visible to other people? Sensitivity can be kept internal.
No need to apologise. I wasn't claiming atypicality with any particular glee; just observing that a lot of people have issues with my typing.
Pretty atypical, I suppose. It might be accurate to say that lately my emotions have dominated my psyche, but that is not my normal state (over the course of my life, that is), nor does it appear to...
Yes, it's been noted that you disagree.
I don't think I have much lingering doubt. I'd say I think I'm an INTJ, although obviously (from what I'm quoting, among others) this thread hasn't really been conclusive. Some who disagree have...
I take the point. I'll probably do this sometime in the nearish future.
Do you think that would rule out INTJ then? That seems like an unusual combination, to say the least. 4 description actually seems to imply NF temperament.
I was wondering if anyone else would pick up anything Neish about me, but based on what I know about the two (Ni and Ne) I'm fairly sure I prefer the former.
Interesting. Aren't INFPs reputed to be the most sensitive type? The INFJs I've met in fora actually seem rather thick-skinned, although that's a small sample size.
I'm definitely introverted.
Well, this is the problem with the two INF types, is that what you're saying doesn't work with the theory. I assume you think the classical functions theory is wrong then--and why so? I identify...
Interesting; I know a rather sensitive ENTP. I think you're right.
OK, so in #16, here's what I was talking about: I got in a little quarrel with someone online because I felt he was condescending to me by taking a very harsh, commanding tone in response to a bit...
TO first question, I think the former. Although my mind is like that, to a certain extent. To the second question, I would say the former, although it is nice if a person whose judgement I...
Oh, and just as another thing, in the context of a relationship, what's most important to me is love, understanding, acceptance and affection. Just because I think this was initially one of the...
Ah, maybe. Your name seems familiar. I might make an enneagram post too. I'm either a 5w4 or a 4w5. As usual, it's hard for me to tell, and of course very few INTJs are 4s (or vice versa). ...
1) What aspect of your personality made you unsure of your type? It's mostly the emotional aspect. The distinction between feeling and thinking has caused me no end of difficulty in that which...
OK, so there's another thread around here somewhere where I was basically definitively typed as (and accepted as my type) INTJ, mostly on the strength of the cognitive functions. The thing is, the...
heh, thanks. Actually, having spent a lot of time in fora for all four IN types, I feel the most at home among INTJs by quite a bit. Not really unsure, although I guess this was the last little...
This, pretty much. OK. Thanks, it's good to know I'm not alone among INTJs in this.
Hi INTJs, I had pretty much come to a conclusion about my type (being an INTJ) by means of this thread (http://personalitycafe.com/whats-my-personality-type/51494-inxx-unsure-about-type.html). ...
1.) Geniuses Haven't taken an IQ test, so I don't know. 2.) Psychopaths No 3.) No feelings No, I just don't vomit them all over the place. 4.) Atheist
OK, it's tiny. Click on it and it will become big. I'm a technological imbecile.
19167 well, this is awkward. Apparently I have to type at least ten characters. Hopefully this will work.
often indecisive lacking in self-confidence hard to get past some emotions like stuffed animals :)
And they stick despite that you're abrasive, offensive, and inexpressive.
I agree. Actually, I'll make a confession you may not agree with. Gay men make me feel good because they're the only people who have ever chased me. I've come to think women don't really like...
I'm so self-absorbed in my own feelings, so desiring of other people to stop judging me or telling me what to do to better my situation or getting impatient with me, but just to understand me and...
Why? (And, more implicitly, why them and not INTPs and INFJs?) Curious because I was just now deciding which of those two types I was, while discarding INTP and INFJ.
I can too, fwiw.
Oops, never mind
Also, you seem a bit more prone to Se than to Si. #3 seemed like a chance to exercise your Si, yet you didn't really take it. Si is one of the functions of INFP.
hm. Well, as you know since you were a recent commentor on mine own thread, I'm no expert on typing people. But you sound like an INTJ to me. You certainly don't fit the common view of INTJs...
I do appreciate the INFP welcome. But, from most of the arguments made here, and also from the understanding I got of Ni from this post ...
Oh. I thought that was just them malfunctioning. ... ;)
Somewhat; thanks. Not to put you out, but what are some Ne traits (just to be able to contrast) ?
I can certainly identify with the inexistance of Fe. But, I'm interested in how you became sure of your Ni orientation? I am having a bit of a problem understanding the difference between Ne...
Thanks :) Few things seem nicer than to be crushed on by an INFP. Oddly enough, regarding the Dom-Tert loops site, I have avoidant personality disorder...
Although I should add as an addendum to this probably worthless observation, that given your response to myexplodingcat's question, you're more likely a Ti-using type, ie not an INFP (which uses Te).
You kind of seemed more like an INFP than an INTP to me for this reason too, although I am not at all an expert on these things (obviously). I also use smileys and suchlike more than most INTJs (if...
Thanks myexplodingcat. That's a helpful Ti/Fi exercise. Until there are actually exercises like that I often find the cognitive functions confusing.
Ha, point taken.
Thanks everyone. Maethirion makes a good point about INTJs. Actually, I say a few things in the original post about several types that may not generally be true, I just thought they were...
Also, I've been getting 4 on enneagram tests over the last couple of days (albeit with 5 close behind), which seems very strange for INTJ.'
