It can be difficult, but only because I tend to get consumed by things. So when something at work interests me, I focus on it almost exclusively. But it doesn't stay like that. Eventually I figure...
I'm pretty good with my hands. I have friends who are much more artistically inclined and have better imaginations than I do. But from a practical perspective there isn't a lot I can't make or...
I still suffer from social anxiety. I have to resolve myself to accept a certain degree of socialization. But once I hit my limit I need to get away. For instance, a few weeks ago my wife and I...
I met a (confirmed) ENFP for the first time last year. He was a new college grad who started working at my company. One day I overheard him talking about photography and stopped by his cubicle to...
Back at you! It's been a very interesting six months. I've been working overtime since I took the job and haven't had much time for anything else. But it should hopefully ease up a bit in a few...
Apologies, I haven't been on here in a while. So bear with me while I ramble a bit (especially and when I make people uncomfortable.) ;) I took a job as a manager for an engineering company about...
I like INFJs. I click with them very well. We seem to get each other in ways that I don't with other Feelers. We re are similar in that we both use introverted intuition as our primary...
Pretty much describes the American political system.

It's more about effort to me. If someone lacks the ability to see things my way, it's not a deal breaker. I try to remember that as an Intuitive I tend to see things uniquely abstractly. And most...
Strangely enough, I find young people often have more optimistic and refreshing ideas, while older people tend to be more inflexible and set in their ways. Plus I've always had a teacher/mentor...
That's how I was when I was younger. My sister was 6 years older, and I was more at ease with her friends than people my own age. But I'm pushing 40 and my best friends now tend to be younger than...

Cut contact. This won't end well otherwise.
What I expect from my employees: • Take initiative. I'm willing to help develop talent. But a big part of it is not waiting for someone to tell you what you know needs to be done. • Look for...
Thats pretty accurate. There is a puzzle-like quality to an INFJ because you see them doing the same thing you're doing - the same thing that you can never fully articulate to anyone who doesn't...
If he's behaving arrogantly, is making him feel badly real so awful? If he's that stuck on his own opinion, then bringing him down a peg or two wouldn't be the worst thing. I went through that...
I guess I'm lucky working where I do. We're flush with INTJs, so I deal with them all the time. I even shared a cubicle with one for five years and sat within spitting distance of another. It's...
Can't get this out of my head now. May as well make the rest of you suffer with me. :laughing: https://vimeo.com/64037924 http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H833o5lnB2E
I was talking to a group of high school kids (my former high school) a couple years ago about careers in science and engineering. One of them asked how much I made. And rather than give them an...
I have no idea what the hell it means to be someone's pet, but it doesn't sound very appealing.
In college I was up for any lady calling me (because it never happened before that). Besides, strange lady calling me, strange man showing up at her apartment. I figured I had the serial killer...
Mine got my name from her mom's address book (put there by her ex-bf, who was an acquaintance of mine), but thought I was a different guy she knew with the same first name. On the phone she thought...
We met when my wife called the wrong number and got me instead.
Sure, I stole it from some guy named Google anyway b
I are a nerd, so yes, I like them. My people!
You've probably heard the term butterface, as in, She's got a great body, but her face... Well, my nerd friends and I had another phrase for that. We called them Lennard-Jones. The...
I can imagine. My MIL was an ESFJ and prone to manipulating people emotionally when she didn't get her way. But she was also batshit crazy.
I share a lot of those traits: need for stability, traditionalism, pragmatic goals for life, respectful and kind to subordinates. Remember, MBTI is about how you take in and process information. ...
I have to go through periodic background checks at work, and the hardest part is naming someone who knows me at my place of residence. I've been in my house for 10 years but don't know any of my...
My relationship with ESTJs is like that, except instead of hurt feelings they get pissed off.
ISFJs have a very strong sense of fairness and justice, which is something that many INTJs have as well. I think that may be one area where the two types see eye to eye. ISFJs also tend to work...
Don't know why this made me chuckle, but it did.
I've found the opposite to be true. I'm almost always shocked to find that people think more highly of me than I do of myself. In other words, I'm much harsher on myself than others are. Most...
My mom is an ISFJ. That type is one of the most common, so you find them all over the place. I don't have any particular gripes against them save for their inability to get me. They simply don't...
I usually wait for a Okay, I feel better getting that out, before I pull out the pen and paper. :D
lilysocks nailed it IMO. I will add that INTPs are probably the masters at utilizing leading questions. An even though I can spot it a mile away, it really doesn't bother me much because they tend...
The rollercoaster has ended. After not hearing anything for the past week and a half, I got a call today. They offered me one of the positions. Feels pretty damn good. (Sorry for the non-vent. I...
My hell would be getting stuck for eternity at a dinner party full of Sensors I didn't know.
We recognize and accept things as they are, even when doing so causes us great emotional pain. It sounds like there was some aspect of your relationship (not necessarily you) that he believed...
I wouldn't mind working out of my garage if it were some sort of trade I was plying. But for an office job, I'd have to get a separate place. My family does a poor job of respecting space, so I'd...
Are you all really how they say? Kinda maybe sorta. Like any other group, we have a broad spectrum. If you want specific answers, ask specific questions. Can you be outwardly enthusiastic or...
My approach to that kind of thing has changed over the years. When I was younger I would have been more passive, like you. Nowadays I'd just tell him he's an asshole and to piss off. If my...
Keep in mind that you're talking about 16 personality types to describe billions of people. So not everyone is going to fit nicely into a single category. Sometimes people can have traits of...
I remember once, during my senior year of high school, I was standing under an umbrella at a football game when a girl I liked walked up to me and stepped under my umbrella. She embraced me in what...
Like lilysocks and @EyesOpen said, that's one of many possibilities. Back when I was younger I had people do that just because they thought it was funny to try to get a reaction out of the outcast.
I haven't had much luck with that (not that there have been that many times). They looked at me like I was an idiot for not understanding. It's easier to just avoid dealing with people in the first...
I wouldn't know how to react. What the hell does I like you mean anyway? Does it mean you like me enough to hang out again? As a potential significant other? Or is that a way to pre-emptively...'
