'All of the above.
I agree that I should read the book! And I wouldn't dismiss the whole theory as I don't have a good grasp of it. The grouping by temparements has just always seemed a bit off to me. With the...
It doesn't make sense putting the stapler way over there (where the SJ colleague prefers). It should stay next to the printer, where people most often require use of it. is typically the kind of...
Answers in the quote, after the bolded parts.
I'm probably in the minority, but I like sensors. I find Si endearing and Se fascinating. I like guys who are good at what I'm bad at. STPs, ISFJs and ENTPs are attractive to me.
Well obviously, you have never been a thinker in a relationship with another thinker. :)
I don't relate to this at all. I'm an NT, not particularly attracted to NFs. I'm also an introvert. Most of my relationships have been with extroverts (probably because they were more likely to...
I usually prefer going solo as opposed to either lead or follow. I would say I'm pretty confident, but not overconfident, just quite aware of my strengths and weaknesses.
I don't understand SFPs, which means communication problems are more likely, but that also means that we're less likely to get close. As a rule, even though I'm Fe inferior and have to work hard to...
A big reason why I have a hard time with Kersey's temperament theory is that I don't relate to the SJ stereotypes. Have I been frustrated with ESFJs in the past? Sure, just like I've been frustrated...
If someone is not interested in MBTI/has a poor opinion of it, I don't feel the need to convince them of its value.
Very true! From anecdotal experience, NF are the most likely to fancy themselves as artists and/or to be delusional about their supposed artistic talent.
Interesting theory. At this point, I identify very strongly with Ti, although I also relate to Ne and would definitely describe myself as imaginative and creative. Still, when I reach the lesson...
Fair enough. I can't picture my ISFJ mate spouting any soulmate nonsense!
I'm an N and I definitely don't believe in soulmates. Sounds feelerish to me and not in a good way. Mindmates and playmates are fine though and I can get the appeal of a lifemate.
I had never heard of this stereotype before. xNFPs are very often described as humorous and Fi types can certainly be shit-stirring and inappropriate. I would even guess that the stereotype is that...
Typically, it is self-deprecating comments or false modesty. Oh my god, I look terrible, from someone who knows they look great. And I know these kind of comments can come from sincere insecurity...
I'll take bragging over fishing for compliment any day.
Well, I wrote that I could actually consider her being INFJs, so I don't know where you get my impression of NJs from. I'm not particularly surprised that many INTJs are gamers. And I happen to think...
Spendidly, in my case. They get me and are good at what I'm bad at.
I value honesty and would never lie to someone I care about just to be nice. However, I hate receiving unsolicited advice and I don't offer it myself and I'm pretty good at keeping my mouth shut...
I voted for the Joker (well, maybe not Batman's Joker). I'd have to add the Tech buff and the Sweet guy next door.
I believe Buffy has been done to death, but if someone has some insight, I'd still like to read it. I'm mostly interested in people's opinions on Dollhouse and Firefly. Since the shows were...
Doh! I only realised after voting that it was multiple choice.
My INFP female friend studied science, has worn her hair short almost her entire life and has always had guy friends...
My ENFP friend sends me the funniest emails. They're usually long and cryptic. So funny that this thread ended in the wrong forum!
She seems to get typed as INTJ more often than as INTP, which always surprises me because I would expect an INTJ to have more interesting things to do than sit at home watching Sick and sad world...
This. I hate seeing smart women playing dumb. And for the record, the ESFJs I know don't play that game either. I came across as reserved, quirky, friendly, witty, awkward, funny, guarded, smiley,...
Flaky people are frustrating, but if they have redeeming qualities, I just appreciate that and expect them to flake. If not, I avoid them and hang out with more reliable people. That is one reason, I...
I've only read the first page, so sorry if this has been adressed, but my first thought was gender. As my type is predominated by males, I would have been educated in a male environment, which might...
I love Joan Jett. I think of her as having an STP vibe.
I think we share a sense of independance and a certain chill attitude. That, and the way we process things.
That's me, as an adult, and my ISTP ex. Multiple times. Oh well, what can I say. Anyway, I'm still friend with the guy and we've never argued. Not once. I get along great with all xxTPs, but with...
I honestly don't get the SJ bias and the anti-sensors thing in general. I tend to think that it has a lot to do with many members being quite young. IRL, I just don't feel persecuted by SJs!...
I've got this love/hate thing with ENFPs. I tend to attract them for some reason and they can be both extremely charming and extremely annoying. They make me laugh a lot and we have great convos, so...
I relate pretty much to the whole post, but yeah this, especially.
I relate pretty much to the whole post, but yeah this, especially.
As much as I identify with Ti, no type is one function. Even very unhealthy people use several functions. I think there would be more to speculate about what is the best way to learn (immersion,...
Back in the days, Oz from Buffy the vampire slayer. More recently, Wolverine as portrayed by Hugh Jackman Right now, Monroe in Grimm... I guess I must have a wolf thing (and I didn't realise that...
Bookshops and libraries. Nature doesn't appeal that much to me.
My mistake. Muchaparadox's husband is INTJ. I misread.
The original poster: note that both your husband and you are perceivers, which might have an impact on how you feel about the Thinking/Feeling divide. I'm under the impression that as a thinker (Ti...
I think that ENTPs and ESTPs'charisma stems from their charm, while with ISTPs, it comes from another place.
Naah, I'm pretty cute, so I get why people are saying it.
Peggy strikes me as IxFJ. The way she does what she has to do without making a fuss is typical Fe aux to me. I agree with ISFP for Betty. She has those Te inferior outbursts and I don't see her using...
I voted ESFP, because I didn't realise the poll was multiple choice, but I really meant ExFPs, so yeah tertiary Te or maybe tertiary Te and auxillary Fi combined.
I'll play! I'm thinking in the lines of popular fiction. I mean it's not like you come across real life people comparable to Superman or the Beast on a regular basis... So for Genius Bruisers, I'm...
I'm an NT and definitely not a super scientist type!
I'm ok with stress. When it lasts for a while, I tend to act more extroverted though.
What's not to love? I was actually coming over to start an ISFJ appreciation thread, after coming across the thread about Si doms in the functions forum! Anyway a few things that I love: -They are...'
