MBTI

Defender

Sentinels ISFJ

Very dedicated and warm protectors, always ready to defend their loved ones.

'I actually think Gibbs is more INFP. I'm ENTP, but because I was in the military I became extremely organized. If someone didn't know me, but saw me IRL, I can come off as an INTJ. Gibbs has his...

I liked anything with Meg Ryan. :) I enjoy romantic movies...usually...when I actually watch them, but I don't go out of my way to watch them.

It looks like this thread has died down. I really appreciate everyone's help. For any who are interested, here's what I've considered. When I took my first MBTI test, I tested as an INTJ. It was...

I think that's accurate. I was thinking how to test this. I almost think if I were Fe I'd care more about other's following my code. There is certainly a level kindness (etc.) than everyone should...

I don't mind at all. I went from Roman Catholic to Eastern Orthodox. To an outsider (not to imply you are) it likely looks like two sides of the same coin, but I would argue they're not (any more)...

I have a fear of authority--an uncomfortable fear. I think it is likely due to my upbringing. But I will say through much of my life, though I was not a rule breaker, I was certainly a questioner of...

Of course laying on the couch watching TV is always a decent option. But my favorite way is to light a candle, turn off the lights, make some peppermint tea, listen to some relaxing music and read...

I always feel dirty after making a decision based on emotion. Even if I make the wrong choice, I tend to feel better if I keep my emotions out of the decision making. Great question. It is...

Here are my results from Celebrity Types functions test. I tried to be as honest as possible.

Unfortunately, I know the tests too well. It's difficult to take them truly objectively.

No. I don't think so. It's hard to imagine a scenario where I'd need to. I mean I would fight for my loved ones, but murder is out of the question. Devastated. If I did something so brutal,...

It's a struggle. But when I can look back on a moment when I was able to follow it, I feel good. Yes it does. I've always sort of felt that I was of two worlds. I am a spiritual creative...

I was hoping I didn't have to say. I'm worried it may taint everyone's typing. :)

I'm not sure where the protecting comes from. I guess my understanding of chivalry, what it means to be a man, etc. The virtues are important to me. The Worlds Greatest Generation are heroes to me....

Introvert.

I change my avatar a lot, but I generally pick a hero of some sort. In this case I chose a knight. The knight (or archetypal superhero) represents to me inner strength. It's about doing what's right...

What are your stances on rules and regulations? I try to abide by them. Most laws are just. I consider myself a rule follower. I believe laws should be made and enforced as small and as local as...

Thank you very much, Jeremy8419. Do you smile a lot in public? I don't think so. I give the courteous smile/nod when passing someone, but I likely generally look pretty serious. How do you...

I have spent a lot of time learning MBTI but I can't figure myself out for the life of me. As soon as I seem to settle on a type, I begin to doubt it. I'm asking on the INFJ forum because I...

lol now I see. Probably not. :happy:

What wording is it that bothers them do you think? Is it the religiousness?

That sounds about right. I relate most to: Person Number Five, you probably have the motivational gift of exhortation.

I asked this question on the INTP forum, but didn't receive a response. Could it be because it is a religious personality test? ;) Have you ever heard of the 7 Motivational Gifts? Which do you...

Have you ever heard of the 7 Motivational Gifts? Which do you identify with most? What is your motivational spiritual gift? | Institute in Basic Life Principles

Thank you. :)

I'm a huge fan. In fact, his INTP book was one of the first clues I had that I might actually be an INTP. Great article. Thank you for sharing. Actually, the door is open for INFP for me as well....

What are some of your earliest stand out memories? Any memories that seem almost like milestones or bookmarks? Not because of what they are of necessarily, but just the clarity or consistent place...

lol it doesn't bother me. At work, I feel obligated to stay on topic and to keep others on topic, but in real life, I enjoy discussions regardless of which trails they run down.

:happy: Mine range from 5 to 16 with 2-3 years in between. I've considered their types, but I haven't been working too conclusion. I figure I should figure myself out first. But, I do have some...

Thank you for sharing, Lysana. I'm a 39 year old father of 5 so please don't worry. :) I almost think having kids early (and often) can delay our self discovery. Not that it's bad. We get so...

This is great. :) I have a coloring story to juxtapose against this. I colored a two page spread of some scene (I can't remember what it was) but I do remember that I colored the whole thing in...

Exactly. This is almost opposite for me. Math is a great example. I couldn't memorize my times tables for the life of me, but I could always figure out complex math problems. I would just have to do...

This definitely sounds like Si/Ne to me. Very helpful. Thank you for sharing. I'm still fighting the internal battle with myself whether I'm ISFJ or INTP, but here are my thoughts on what you...

Many of these points in the link sound very familiar, but some I just don't relate to. For example, I had an early aptitude for color and etc. and felt uneasy in new surroundings, but I was never the...

I'm hoping to get your help with an answer to a question I haven't been able to find anywhere. Can you think back on your elementary school years and recall what your Si felt like...or how you...

I think mine causes me to constantly doubt anything and everything I try to decide about or for my self. I think it's also responsible for my clownlike defense mechanisms. This quote comes to mind......

lol yes!

Generally white or ambient noise helps me like a fan. If I'm trying to come up with ideas or something more creative, music is helpful. When programming, I like music without words (e.g. movie...

I generally have a hard time getting my thoughts out verbally in a way that people understand. I tend to bounce around, back track, re-state, etc. It can be tough for others to follow me. As far...

A if I was interested, but Cs otherwise. I waited to the last minute to do everything and often failed to even do it then. But if it was a class or subject I was interested in I did really well.

My trade is software development, but most of my interests (read obsessions) outside of work are in the humanities. I do feel I need to create as well.

Geography Sense of direction Spelling

Never a journal in the traditional sense, but I document a lot. In highschool I kept notebooks that I'd fill with ideas, quotes, drawings, theories, designs, etc. Today, I keep to google docs, but I...

Definitely. I have many cobweb covered hobbies, interests, incomplete projects, etc.

Okay, now I feel better. All of the above sounds very familiar to me. I obsess and learn a great deal about something, but it's not, as some descriptions explain, for the sake of becoming an...

Exactly. I personally don't feel like I'm an expert on anything, but I do have a pretty wide range of knowledge as a result of my curiosity. I'll get caught up in some thing and obsess over it...

I've often read descriptions of INTPs stating they favor a depth of knowledge over a breadth of knowledge. Does this ring true for you? Which type is more likely to have a breadth of knowledge?

:) yeah

Everything you wrote sounds just like me. I spend a great deal of time trying to figure out who I am. It's made me think I might be an enneagram type 4.

I've been thinking about this statement the past few days. This might be the key. I've always assumed that my Ne was Aux because of how strong it was, but I don't think I really considered if it was...'
