'Long post short, I want to be in a relationship that makes me happy|||I got a 65 on this. Seeing as I've never taken any sort of IQ test before and I took this one with a bunch of people around me making noise, I'm happy with my result :)  Edit: Thank you for the...|||This is what i wrote in another thread on this whole subject. It's a more detailed explanation/analysis about how I act. Figured I'd throw it here too  To clarify a bit more (on my view), meeting...|||Elinor, i will gladly talk to new people. As you said though, i'm not actively inviting unless i know we get along. I'm talking about people you have tried talking to and from the encounter(s) have...|||From the various opinions that I have read here and there, it seems like there are many INFJ's who are nice to people who aren't so nice to them. Personally, I couldn't bring myself to do that...|||If i had to pick definitively, i would take someone outgoing over someone quiet, only because they would be able to get more of a response out of me i think.|||Guarded, perfectionist, selective, trustworthy, longing|||Edit: Holy hell, sorry if this is too long. Didn't expect it to happen. Biggest problem of developing my thinking side so much i suppose.  I feel glad that i finally get to answer this question, as...|||Unrelated is okay, spurs new trains of thought. I actually almost wrote about how one of the last minute birthday gifts I picked for someone was so far fetched, but also something that only I would...|||I would handmake all my gifts if possible, don't have the skill yet though haha. But yes, choosing gifts for people is hard enough, let alone people I really care about. Even if it's something...|||I have the opposite problem. I get fixated on something that annoys or makes me angry and it can make me irritable and kind of critical. The irritability comes and goes, but the fixation can stick...|||This exact topic came up in conversation earlier. This was my input.   If you say that you don't need anyone, then I call bullshit. Even if you only have one person that you are comfortable talking...|||55538 I think it would be something like this if I were evil. I am not exactly goal driven, I just kind of do whatever feels right, and I don't really have any interest in hurting people, physically...|||Scary and kind of accurate. typed INFP, P and J both fairly balanced, so that's reasonable. It's the word list that's scary/odd GIANT: Business    (I'm in the business school) DWARF: Unhappy SOUL:...|||Oh boy.  I confess that if i could never speak with my mother again, it'd be just fine. i confess that i struggle to keep my feelings in check for a girl who not only is opposed to the idea of a...|||For the last couple years since I discovered the MBTI, I thought I was an istp, but going through this thread, probably 95% of these posts have been dead on, and it's crazy awesome. I haven't been on...|||Placeholder. (i want to take a shot, but i am too tired at the moment. Will edit later)|||Most of the time it goes without saying :). I have begun to realize, though, that common sense can be sacrificed if it needs to. I can't always explain why i do something if i feel i should do it. No...|||hmmm. I love the feeling of accomplishing something out of the ordinary that I have wanted to do, but that feeling fades as I look for a new challenge. I love listening to music of all sorts, but it...|||At the moment, i have no clue|||So i wasnt really sure how to describe the whole thing before, but i stumbled upon an article that mentioned the idea of a false self. If you dont know what it is, google it. It is by far the...|||The conflict avoidance is more conditioned than anything else. The problem that i seem to have is that so many of my behaviors are behaviors that feel out of character for me, but i have done them...|||Like i said, lots of uncertainty. I struggled for a while even to figure out what type i was. For a while i was istp, hence the unchanged signature, but there are certain aspects of that type that...|||I have been talking to a psychologist for a couple of months now, i suppose, and while it seems like some things have been made clearer for a lack of better words, I am still confused, for an...|||I recently started journaling if you will, and over about 3 or 4 sessions, i have roughly 16 pages (double spaced) of text, its a stream of consciousness setup. Its interesting to go back and read...|||I'll go with that for now|||Question: Could an ISFP present as an ISTP if they were emotionally walled off for a long period of time? Lately I have been doubting whether or not I am an ISTP. As far as my feelings are concerned,...|||Question: Could an ISFP present as an ISTP if they were emotionally walled off for a long period of time? Lately I have been doubting whether or not I am an ISTP. As far as my feelings are concerned,...|||I'm kind of in a similar process, I am what my signature says right now, since I am in a more settled state of mind, but I am double checking on my actual type. I think I will actually go through...|||as a kid, the one movie I can remember crying to was an animated movie called The Seventh Brother. Ever since then, marley and me almost did it, but not quite. The UK version of skins almost had me...|||I think my rage is more of a long smolder than explosive. I suppose I burn it off so to speak, as it gets poured on. Even with something like anger, it still gets weighed risk vs reward in my head,...|||So I have heard this so many times, but what does it actually mean to give a piece of yourself. I think that I would be willing to try it, but I really don't quite get it. In my book, its right up...|||I am, generally speaking, not like I used to be in my opinion. If I had followed the path I was on undisturbed, then I would probably be more extroverted, would feel more than I do now, would...|||To me, teasing gets very old, very fast. I have yet to actually snap on anyone for any reason, but i have had some pretty violent urges, but never been pushed far enough to act on it. Its the whole...|||So it turns out that my attitude problem was my being right. I was so negative because i really got some bad vibes off this certain individual, and when opportunity knocked for them to screw up, they...|||Dark humor, dumb humor (sometimes), and offensive are usually the criteria that make me laugh, sometimes clean humor works as well, but it has to be pretty good.|||I'm told that i have an attitude problem, yet nobody has actually been able to tell me how to fix it. Apparently The very few times that i actually open my mouth to question somebody (with the honest...|||I totally agree with you on the being as straightforward as possible, but I feel like if I live my life thinking that it's everyone else that's weird, then it will compromise my judgement and limit...|||nvm, too much over analyzing (i had a quote and response here)|||if only being an ISTP were easy. It's like we are both some of the most complex people on the outside, but on the inside we have some of the most simple and pure motives possible. It's going to make...|||yes, it seems that people understand that the ISTP has the treasure because they have seen it, but eventually they find themselves locked out again.   edit: i guess it's just more an observation...|||I just had another thought. Even though it's been established that ISTP's have some super secret treasure locked up, it seems like accessing that treasure is a continuous battle. Do you (you meaning...|||This is why ISTP's will always continue to fascinate you ENFP's. (I'm sticking with the metaphor here) for me, if someone asks me to do something, unless there is a really, really good reason, I'll...|||sometimes you need to drag someone to a party for them to see if they like it or not. just sayin'. It's much easier to justify in our heads that going to a party is a waste of time, whether we think...|||I think that an apology can go a long way for starters (no experience in this field). At first, I wanted to say that best case scenario is sitting down and discussing, but now I think that if they...|||That does make sense, but now I have another question.   you talk about getting defensive, but would you prefer to be left alone and have your space to process (which is probably what I would do),...|||Seeing as I'm not a social person by any means, I would probably be one of those rich types who has all of the coolest stuff money can buy and the imagination can come up with, but when I was around...|||It may be my N speaking, but I don't ever think I could ever tell someone your worst case scenario. I would have stopped hanging with that person long before it came to that; and don't worry about...|||My God, we need our own talk show. The people participating have been pretty consistent with a few drop-ins, so I think we could pull it off.  Anyhow, looks like I'll be busy for most of today...|||ironically, it seems that the best way and fastest way to try to connect with an ISTP is through anything deeper than small talk. On here, it's simple because there's no faces, no real names, but...'
