'Istj :laughing: At least upon first glance. Could also be an INTP with a sense of humor (face looks amused, and then there's the photo shop blush).
huh, I really wonder if you are an INFJ? None of the ones I know would ever even make jokes like that...you sound like a wannabe :/
INTJs appear close minded on the outside, but on the inside we're just trying to organize our thoughts ;)
St. John Bosco is my patron saint and has many beautiful things to say. Here are some of my favorite quotes: “Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God.” Therefore,...
Death is a great thing! I too considered the profession of mortician, as a plan B if plan A (forensic pathologist) happened to fail. Death is what makes life precious.
Oh INTPs...my best friend is one. I wish y'all were more definitive about your positions and philosophical preferences. Also, I have noticed that INTPs who don't know that they are INTP tend to be...
Ah, what an absolutely eloquent statement! So true!
Yup, that was the point. ;)
Haha, as I stated, the article is pretty snarky and yes, the author is rather uninformed (ISTF? Really?). That doesn't mean that he made some good points, though; such as how imprecise and limited...
Speaking of trees, I am supposed to be a Poplar: The Poplar tree signifies fortification, valor and consistency. You are brave and can stand up to anything. You are also very creative and spent...
Haha! I love this example. It illustrates how funny people look when they take MBTI seriously and try to use it for everything.
I was browsing the internet when I came across this interesting article from Forbs that criticizes MBTI and personality typing in general. The article is pretty snarky, but it presents some valid...
Kalane, Khiro, and Kollonhausen; thank you so much for those last posts. That's all I can really say. I'm not sure how to put into words what I felt when I read those posts, but it seems like you all...
Agreed. I came here knowing that I would not get a perfect solution. I came here to gather information that will be sorted through later. I value PerC as a tool for gaining information, nothing more....
Those specific comments of mine were rather passionate, but they are true. I was using strong language, which made these sentences stand out, but I have been saying the same things this whole thread....
She is getting an awakening to how her attitude effects me. She is going to treat us to her point of view soon.
Too true, too true. I actually did flip her over once; caught her as she was coming at me. I thought it was pretty cool, especially since she is a tad bigger than me. She stopped fighting me...
I pretty much always got it, but before I did anything I wanted to gather any possible information from others. You seem to assume that I have a shallower understanding of the factors in this...
Well said. Thank you! :)
Ok, so far what I have gathered from all of you is that I need to: 1. Step away when the situation gets ugly. Give her space to cool down. 2. Don't debate her so much. Try to listen without...
Howdy. I wasn't upset, just a tad annoyed as there were many off-topic debates (not just yours) building up. I was acting snappy, but I'm not upset ;) What all those questions illustrate is that...
You are correct that I can be arrogant, and that does have an effect. Regardless, I am still a listener. When we were younger I was the obnoxious drill sergeant who was always blabbing orders and...
Whoa, sorry I didn't read your last post. Please accept my apologies.
LOL wow well the ENTP's methods aren't working so well...if he wanted more information he should plainly ask for it. He hasn't gotten any new information thus far, so he should change his tactics....
The point is, their cognitive functions determine their primary course of action. If someone threw a brick at you, would you catch it or dodge? You would do whatever you think will keep you safe in...
Hey guys, I'm really loving the debates here, but we need to get back on topic. 1. Ignore the trolls. Everyone can see that they're trolling, don't legitimize them by responding. 2. Stop...
Yes, I am not always able to correctly identify the truth. That is why I am on this thread asking for y'all's advice. I do not believe that I am always right, but I do try to be objective. I...
I know, but as I stated, a person's perspective doesn't equate to truth. In every scenario, there is a truth, and I always try to seek it out before I make decisions. Also, there are always other...
As long as you do not act as though you are God and have the authority to pass judgement on other people's lives, you are generally doing the right thing (in these scenarios). Yes, the line between...
1st and 2nd scenario: Who says I have to stay on the path? I will just crash it instead. The four bystanders can come to my aid. Or, I can shout at them to get out of the way. 3rd scenario: If...
Recap for the lazy people: 1. My sister has a self-righteous mentality that manifests itself in the form of damning me and everything I say or do. 2. I agree with and appreciate her value of...
I honestly don't care about what is in a person's head until they act upon it. If my sis would keep her illusions to herself, I wouldn't be here. I am not the kind of person who needs help from...
Wow. Did you post that in the wrong thread or are you illiterate? Sorry to be so brash but since when do I terrorize my sister? She is the one confronting me, I am minding my own damn business. Don't...
This is all great advice, and I have picked up a couple of useful nuggets in this post, but need you to understand something: I am not imposing anything upon her. Her view of me as oppressive is not...
I do come across as abrasive sometimes, but it is simply calm stating of honest facts ;) I think that in person what offends her and others the most about what I say is how calmly I state the dirty...
Haha, she has actually said some of those things to me (not trusting me, I think I'm better, etc)...I tend to ignore those statements because she is always on the offense (yet still mysteriously...
Well, her birthday was good. I made an elegant ice cream cake and got her a potted rose plant, and she liked that. I haven't talked to anybody about her violence yet...I am still waiting for the best...
Yeah, that sounds about right. Thank you for the card example; that is incredibly helpful! I sometimes have no clue as to how to give emotional support; I am better at distributing wake-up slaps and...
Question: Her birthday is coming up on the 12th. I was planning on buying some flowers for her, and maybe some other gift. She likes flowers, but doesn't everyone? What love language would you say...
Everyone, thank you so much for your advice! I appreciate hearing your differing points of view. I will try out all of these suggestions and I'll let you all know how it goes in a few months. Haha,...
Ah, how eloquent! I am going to save this post forever. This is a beautifully logical map of the issue at hand. I may even have my sister read it, she might actually like that, as long as she doesn't...
That's all well and good, but that mentality only works for people outside of the family. I honestly want to help my sister overcome these handicaps so she live a fruitful life; there are more than...
Is there some way that I could get her to realize that she needs to change her ways, regardless of what I do? She doesn't seem to get that, regardless of all the Bible verses about turning the...
Like I said, ignoring her will not be an option. I thought about taking pictures of my injuries, but I didn't make that big of a deal about the specific fights. I will tell her that I will call the...
Haha, I always had a priority on changing her mind rather than her actions; I guess this is why I never confronted her or my parents about the violence before. My parents never see her actually beat...
I do understand this since I have already tried that approach; I know what stresses her out but it is based off of falsehoods. We have already had this discussion, and though I understand her...
Fortunately, she does not act violently to anyone else at all - only me. She said herself (in a moment of rage) that it is because I am the greatest evil in the family. Otherwise, she is rather...
Just check out my thread about my INFJ sister...
Haha, I realize that this might not have been the best forum for this thread. Whatever ;)
Hi, I am an INTJ and I have a large family. For the most part, everyone gets along well enough. My mom and dad are ESFJ and INTJ, respectively, and my sisters are ENTP, ESTP, INTJ (me), INFJ, and...'
