'Thinking introvert.
No. I'm bipolar, and I hate my depressive phases. All my energy and creativity is gone, and I pretty much just lie there doing nothing. Well, maybe contemplating suicide counts as something, but I...
I considered it a disappointment if I didn't score 99th percentile. Even on my GRE, I scored over 90th percentile (at least on the quantitative section, IIRC). I got a 34 on the ACT and 4s or 5s...
I used to have terrible insomnia, but that was due to mania. Now that I'm on medication, I sleep great (maybe a little too much sometimes).
Based on that, I'd say you're INTJ. As you've grown older, you've developed your Fi. The key thing here is that you're trying not to be direct and trying not to start arguments. For someone with...
Internally, yes. But the external behavior of Fi and Fe users can look very similar depending on what values the Fi user holds. Some Fi users, especially Enneagram 9 Fi users, value things like...
I don't think I've ever gotten that, but maybe I'm not paying close enough attention. I've been called awkward, but never psychopathic. Of course, if people knew just how messed up I really am...
No trouble at all. I've read over a hundred books (many of them long epic fantasies) each of the past two years. I'm just short of one hundred this year.
I'd say you're an INTJ (if the choice is between the two). The only thing there that didn't scream INTJ was the bit about authority. But not all INTJs are completely opposed to authority. Some decide...
Think back to what you were like as a kid, and especially as a teen. Did you care about things like group harmony then, or did you care more about getting something done in the most efficient way? As...

There's no reason an INTJ can't be nice. Those of us who actually intend to interact with the world have learned that things like politeness and consideration help make things run more smoothly....
I like to describe myself as a cynical idealist, so I guess that averages out to realist. For the most part, I don't see the point of taking a negative view toward everything. I ask myself if I can...
It depends on the person and what they're talking about. I've been known to have talkative periods myself. In fact, I love deep conversations with one other person, or maybe a group of three. If you...
I'm an INTJ!
I think both Ne and Ni can lead to conspiracy theories. Ne because it's all about possibilities. Ni because its insights are often generated completely internally. Without strong Te to supplement it,...
I wouldn't base too much on these cognitive function tests. For one thing, they're not very good. For another, there's little evidence that cognitive functions have the hierarchy they're supposed to...
This has happened to me before.
After going through that test, I think it produces a lot more people on the left economically than is really accurate. So many of the questions about corporations are phrased in such a way that it's...
I eat out so rarely that I often do order the same thing at a given restaurant. I know I like it, and I don't want to waste my rare chance at eating out on food I might not like.
Wasps. Bees to a lesser extent. It's hard for me to go outside when it's warm. I'm instantly on edge. I spend all my time focusing on potential stinging threats, and once I see them, it takes a...
Yes. I prefer to approach things with an optimistic mindset, but I have enough pessimism in me that I prepare for the worst case scenarios.
I don't hate being an INTJ, but I understand how you can feel that way. Like you, I'm more balanced between T and F than many of the INTJs on here (enough so that I thought I was an INFJ for a...
I enjoy movies and music that affect me emotionally (books too). They aren't always what people might classify as emotional, but they work that way for me. INTJs do have tertiary Fi, and life...
Yes. I'm bipolar, so I frequently experience both happiness and unhappiness.
finding success, whatever that means to you.
As far as I can tell, I'm a 5w6 with a 1 and a 4 in my tritype. I relate to 5w6 and 5w4.
I'm a complete weather geek. I love watching storms especially. I'll even keep track of severe weather events that don't affect me. It's just so fascinating. My favorite sleeping weather is a...
That description sounds more ISTJ to me. Or maybe for someone with Asperger's. I relate to the wristwatch part. I hate not knowing what time it is, and I do like to make constant estimates of how...
Yeah, I probably would be an Erudite. I don't have the courage (insanity) to be Dauntless. I'm not good enough at denying myself to be Abnegation. I suppose I could do okay in Candor or Amity. But...
You can develop your feeling side without compromising your ability to enjoy life. I don't actively try to disassociate from INTJ stereotypes. I just work on my problem areas. Things like proper...
I'm an INTJ, and I have a strong creative side. I enjoy writing. I've always loved coming up with stories. I also write fantasy and science fiction, so I like building my worlds too. This creative...
For me, it's kind of a strange thing. I only ever go to church for weddings. I don't think you need any kind of intermediary with God, and I'm not a fan of organized religion in general. Instead, I...
I think anyone who doesn't have solid use of Fe can come across as cold to Fe users. I try my best not to be cold, but if I'm not focusing on it, I can come off that way. I can mimic Fe to a degree,...
It's actually answered quite easily with evolution. Something that was almost a chicken laid the egg that resulted in a chicken. So the egg came first.
I don't particularly care for driving. I rarely go more than five over the speed limit, and I'm especially careful in residential areas. You never know when some little kid is going to run out into...
That INTJs are some alien species with no feelings, a species so different normal humans couldn't possibly understand us. We're strange, but we're not that strange. There are many, many...
Pretty much anything fantasy and science fiction. They help me avoid the real world, which makes life more liveable.
Yep, I like cats. Just look at my avatar.
I read and write fantasy and science fiction, so, yes, I like escapism. I've imagined how life might have been with different choices too.
My views are all over the place, so I chose Center.
No, but I've come very close before. Thankfully, I'm on medication now for my bipolar disorder and in a much better place.
No. I might not be the most social person in the world, but I like being able to carry on conversations occasionally, real conversation that require a mouth and ears. The internet is great, but...
I wouldn't say I hate it, but any behavior annoys me if it's done too much, the key words being too much. What counts as too much varies by person, and I'd imagine INTJs might have a lower threshold...
Isn't it the case that people with severe psychological disorders can't really be typed? They might appear to be INTJs, and they might even score INTJ if they take the test, but that doesn't make...
I also tend to get sensory overload. I can't stand places that are too noisy or crowded, or even certain sounds that just drive me insane. I don't really know how to combat it. You might look into...
I put other. I'm always striving for personal growth, so it isn't something that sits in the back of my mind.
Depending on the audience, liberal is a dirty word, and so is conservative.
I write. I've written quite a few novels, as those are the stories that seem to work with my brain. Now if I could just get some of them published (I don't have the marketing savvy to be successful...
Well, at my school, they were pretty good, but they were tough enough that the people who didn't belong in them struggled to get B's, and anything below a B didn't get the extra point on the GPA....'
