'I don't get hit on very often and rarely notice stares (doesn't mean I don't get them, I just tend to be oblivious to that stuff). In high school, apparently (as I heard from a male friend years...
I have often joked that I am actually carnivore.
There's not much of a change. If I'm already in a certain mood (silly, mellow, or whatever), then it'll be more pronounced. And I will be more relaxed but that's about it.
Depends. I've been known to push people in certain situations. But more often than not I just encourage and support.
I'm not married and until like many INTJ women I've come across I have more female friends than male. But I still have some close guy friends. My boyfriend and I had a discussion about both of us...
^I outright stated to my ISTP that I had a crush on him and wanted to get to know him better with the possibility of a romantic relationship forming from it but would also be happy with having a...
My ESFJ mother would often come into my room to talk about something or another. Sometimes it was important and/or relevant to me, and sometimes it wasn't. If you're working on something, tell...
Depends how much focus I have on my surroundings. If I'm not paying attention, then I often hit my elbow on the sides of doors or drop things or knock things over. However, I don't consider myself a...
Twenty three and a virgin. Heck, only recently did I have my first kiss. Outside of a couple crushes that didn't go anywhere, I wasn't interested in romance or sex during highschool or college.
Not an ISTP, but I am dating one. My Te and his Ti seem to support each other, despite the differences; I love the T based communication we have. We often bond over Se based activities (well, as...
You're not? :laughing: Amusingly enough my RL INFJ friend is basically a clumsy cat in human form.
Nothing makes me more anxious than being in an unknown situation. It makes me feel a lack of control and thus vulnerable. I also have a very slight fear of heights (specifically I hate the...
That video was interesting. While we haven't had any serious mis-communications yet, I've noticed a difference in how my boyfriend and I relate emotional stuff. I was guessing it was due to my Te-Fi...
Only once ever went on anything resembling a date. A college dance, then a nice walk on a pier afterwards. It was a bit weird though. I had a crush on the guy and he asked me to the dance yet he was...
I like a moderate amount of exercise. I don't do the gym thing. I go on semi-regular walks, like to swim whenever I get the chance (used to be a competitive swimmer when I was younger), and have...
Well, I for one am in a long distance relationship. As for whether I've done it, it's less sexting and more cyber-makeouts. But I guess the idea behind it is the same.
I strongly suspect my father to be an INTJ.
This sounds normal to me. In general I dislike eye contact with people unless I am talking to them. I also have a tendency to watch people, but if they notice I'll look away because I realize it...
Yup. We're both looking forward to it.
I'm twenty three and haven't had my first kiss. But that'll probably change when I get to see my long distance boyfriend in a couple months.
To continue about the functions: Te, Ti, Fe, Fi are all judging functions while Ni, Ne, Si, Se are perceiving functions. Everyone judges and everyone perceives. And despite being xxxJ, INTJs - being...
Avoid out of indifference means I don't usually care about dating and thus avoid all that nonsense. That's my scale. I've had two unrequited crushes and one which was mutual (currently dating...
Strategy: Avoid out of indifference until you metaphorically trip over someone you like. See if they like you back. Scale of losses-wins (or unrequited to requited) is: 2-1.
Seems I used the wrong word. Happens sometimes. I think it should be obvious I meant compliment.
Glad it's going well for you. I try to complement my boyfriend and my friends to a slightly lesser extent. I'd say an INTJ in a certain mindset can be very good at complementing others,...
I'm probably more static, though I do make an effort to be more dynamic when I think it's necessary.
I'm a science person, specifically biology/chemistry/biochem. Math, however, has always been my weak point.
This, in regards to my ISTP and me. The inconsistency, hesitation, and lag time were definitely a challenge for me. Once I knew I wanted to be with him, I didn't want to wait. But I had to be patient...
^Eh, I still say I identify with type 5 more than type 9. While there I trends in type 9 that I can see myself in, the core of type night is secondary to the core of type 5 (I'm more afraid of...
I'm confident in my knowledge, ideas, independence, goals, and my willingness to work/make things work. I'm also fairly confident in my personality and body (read: I have no major body image issues)....
Odd. I believe my father is also an INTJ, while my mother is an ESFJ. We never had issues with my father being controlling. He certainly worries about us and he'll occasionally be clingy in his own...
Can I say with 100% certainty that there is a god? Can I say with the same certainty that Jesus was God in human form? And that when he died he saved humanity from sin? No, I can't. Can I choose...
Christian wasn't tacked on. Agnostic Christianity is a recognized subset of agnostic theism. Granted, it doesn't get much attention and thus isn't well known. There can be belief without...
No one. Without the balance of strengths from the other types each temperament group would run into problems and end up sabotaging themselves.
I have myself listed as a 5, because that's the type I get when I take the tests and fits the most from reading the descriptions. But I also heavily see myself in type 9, especially how it's...
-quietly observes from the corner, making mental notes- Seriously, nice thread. Some of this could come in handy when I get to see my LDR ISTP boyfriend in a couple of months.
That the existence of a deity is inherently unknowable. It can't be proven or disproved. Agnostic theism is a thing, just like agnostic atheism.
Agnostic Christian here.
Do you enjoy taking photots? I'm rather indifferent about it. I used to be camera shy, but now I don't care so much. Are you a private person? Yes and no. I'm private when it comes to...
I met my ISTP boyfriend on a forum. We proceeded to have a very sarcastic and snarky conversation. It grew from there.
I don't think healthy INTJs (or any healthy person, but especially us INTJs) would be very controlling. We're known for being independent and disliking emotional manipulation games. That kind of...
Occasionally yes. Especially with how I keep hearing about mistyped INTJs.
Recently I've been getting comments that I'm a friendly person. It kind of threw me off because a couple years ago that would have never happened. I think that developing my Fi is a large part of why...
The bolded is very true for myself and my ISTP. Except after a few minutes of it I usually start laughing (because I'm thinking the heck is this emotional cheesiness going on). Never really thought...
My mom is an ESFJ, while I believe my dad to also be an INTJ.
More defensive I guess. While someone going slow or something like that might annoy me, I don't see the point in being overly aggressive. It just increases your chances of wrecking or getting pulled...
I like good food and am willing to try just about anything once. I definitely savor food when I eat, instead of just downing it as quickly as possible like some other people I know.
snc1878: I can't answer for all ISTPs, but I just started dating one. We've known each other for months, and a huge part of our interactions is teasing each other. It's very natural for us, as I dish...
Well, I literally just officially entered a dating relationship yesterday. I want it to be long term. The idea of flings just don't make sense to me. I also don't understand how being romantically...
I agree with everyone else. If there is any problem caused by you, it's not that you were wrong to not like him being touchy-feely. Maybe you should have been more direct about how uncomfortable it...'
