I can't quite figure out what type my sister is, so I thought I'd go to the experts for help. Typing's not exactly my forte, I spent months and months figuring out what I am, and even now I'm still...

jackcrabs Hah, not a bad idea....

Wait, so are you saying I'm really ISTJ...? :dry: Seriously, every time I think I know my type.....

I've always been drawn to being a dentist or a doctor. I think it has to do with being able to constantly use my hands, which I love and which I'm good at. (Although being a surgeon is out of the...

It took a while to figure it out. I think the most important thing to remember is that ISTPs aren't emotionless-- they're just very private with them, and find them very confusing. You can still be...

Yeah, that's how I'm gonna look at it. By the way, I love your signature, hahahaha

Haha I think I'm exaggerating the whole texting thing, it's not that he's texting me an insane amount, it's just that he's an emotional texter, and I am not. He sees texting as a form of...

Last year we had two classes together, and that's how we got to know each other. We were never that close though, I didn't even have his number until after he'd asked me to homecoming. (By the way,...

I've decided to just go with him. It's one night, and I think this is bound to happen again, so it's good to get experience on how to deal with it. NO will probably be my favorite word of the...

Oh, God no. My family has called me the most awkward hugger ever, apparently I'm really stiff and I pat people on their backs.... don't know why I do that, I think it's because I get fidgety. And...

Yeah, you gotta be friends first. ISTPs don't jump into emotional relationships. Here's the thing about me at least: I don't need to be in a relationship. I'd actually prefer not to be (if it weren't...

You just nailed it.

This guy asked me to be his date for homecoming, and to be honest....I'm completely freaking out. I don't know if we're going as friends or not (and by now it's too late to ask)... we've never...

Yeah, my INFJ sister gets mad at me too! I always used to get confused when people were still mad at me 3 hours after a fight.

Well, I've been posting on here off and on for a few months, but I guess I'll just introduce myself now. I'm seventeen, living in the southeast of the United States. I run XC and Track at school,...

Jack Dawson, Titanic; Frank Abagnale Jr, Catch Me If You Can (sensing a pattern here....); Donnie Darko, Donnie Darko; Sam Wheat, Ghost; Harry Potter, but only in movies 3 and 4.

I'm 17... kinda curious to see how I'll change as I get older. I heavily learn from experience though, so I figure things can only get better (or worse I guess, if I have a lot of bad...

Totally happens with me. Extraverts have such a different approach to like than I do that I think I get suspicious of them at first... it takes me a while to trust them. Introverts I can relate to...

Eh... not really. I don't love it, I don't hate it. I keep up with fashion (by keeping up with fashion, I mean updating my look every five years or so...) so that I can look put together. I just...

Hahahhahah that's so true...

Nope. I'm an ISTP, and my sister's an INFJ.

I'm applying to colleges right now too. Going into Pre-Med, haven't decided if I want to be an orthodontist or a dermatologist. Little nervous about all of it, I think I can handle the course work...

I actually have a really bad temper. It's usually out of frustration, and it lasts about an hour, but once I'm done, I'm done. My sister always comments on how I will be purple in the face cussing...

I get really impatient and restless. I start to say things that I know I shouldn't, just to rile people up and give me some form of entertainment.

I have a basic outline of what I'm going to do. Well.... No, that's actually BS, it's almost completely go with the flow. Having plans makes me stressed. I only schedule things that I know I won't...

Thanks, I think I just really need to be kinda carefree about it all, thats the only way I'll be able to keep my sanity. But I can feel my patience wearing thin, today I was this close to just...

Exactly! My mom has always been a bit of a helicopter parent (at least she would be if I weren't so resistant to rules and structure), and my dad has always been a bit too off-hands. I really think...

Yeah, to be honest it's a pretty weird combination. I don't know if I would have put my mom and dad together, but I guess it works, they've been together for 25 years with no major problems.

I've tried to. She listens, and is usually very apologetic and sincere, but the problem is that she forgets about it two days later. For example, she has a habit of nervous-talking around people, and...

Sorry everyone for the late response, it drives me crazy when OPs forget about their posts. I've just had a really busy week and honestly didn't even have time to check the website. So, to answer...

Neither, really. I absolutely can't stand guys who just go along with whatever opinion I have, and follow the rules without knowing the logic behind them and agreeing with that logic. It drives me up...

I know this ENFJ (maybe ENTJ, haven't decided), and I'm really only friends with her because she hangs out with my friends. I see her a lot, and good lord, that girl drives me up the wall. I think it...

I tend to have obsessions with people and events that were important to culture. Like Michael Jackson, for a good three years I just studied every thing he did; he just completely fascinates me. If...

I'm a girl, so sorry I can't give you the male perspective on this, but I think you're doing the right thing in holding back a bit. Here's the thing about ISTPs: we're pretty much all commitment...

My dad's ISTP, like me. I wouldn't say he likes cooking particularly, in that he won't do it for fun, but he's pretty good at it and will offer to make dinner if it's needed. I'm the same way. My...

When I was a kid, I used to walk around ice cream shops with a wet napkin, cleaning up the tables because it bothered me that they were dirty, but when my mom asked me to clean my room, I'd never do...

The thought of someone doing an elaborate, over-the-top, center of attention marriage proposal makes you want to throw up. Or maybe I'm just weird.

Oh see, once I get going I'm fine, it just takes me forever to actually get going. The thing that's really making me doubt ISTP is that my dad is one through and through, a textbook case, and while...

Flatlander The ISJ was pretty off. I related a lot more to ESP, although it still didn't quite hit the nail on the head. The ISTP/INTP was really me, although I don't quite know which one I associate...

Hah that sounds about right with me. I just finished calculus and I discovered that while it takes me FOREVER to focus in it, once I do, I'm pretty good at it.

Flatlander Thanks for the reply! Over thinking makes me fear things because I envision too many negative outcomes. If I'm about to go skiing, I'll picture myself losing control and running straight...

Whoops, forgot number one: The picture reminds me of the end of an adventure. I can see this image being shown or described at the end of a movie or long novel after the characters have saved the...

Ok, here's the deal: I've been going back and forth with my type for a couple of months now. As you can see, it says I'm an ISFP, but I've been having doubts, the first one being that I don't think...

Hahah well, I wouldn't buy the whole sweet and innocent act. I play that card way too well for my own good. I can all but guarantee you she has had her full share of arguments with her family. You...

Wow, I'm kinda surprised you mentioned me! It's pure luck that I saw this so close to the date you posted this, I come on this site pretty sporadically. Anyways, to answer your question: Good...

Thanks for the complements! As you can see from question four, I really appreciate it :) I'll answer your questions now: Do I feel drained or charged when around other people? Hmm... I've been...

Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Most of the time when I have a problem, I'll write about it on the internet somewhere so I can get unbiased advice, and so that it still stays private within my real...

Maybe... but do you think I'm extrovert? Introvert was the one thing that was always constant on all the tests I took.'
