'Results: I - 85% N - 95% T - 62% J - 83% t - 74%  Overall seems pretty accurate to me. 16personalities is where I usually direct people when I have them take the test for the first time to get...|||Hi there.    I still hold that you are Ni from the last time I typed you. This just reinforces that even further. Love your interpretation.    This sort of apathy towards things like fame and...|||Wow, I am so sorry. I don't know how, but I totally thought I was waiting on a response from you on this thread. That's my bad.    Yeah, I think that's about how it went. He actually based the...|||A Hunger Games salute for our fallen comrade.|||Hm. I'll be more conscientious of that from now on. Can you give me an example of something with more feeling in it, just to give me an idea of what I'm working with.    Obnoxious? Usually not...|||So would a more intuition-centric description have elements of both feeling and thinking in it? I know that when I write my attempt is to get away from any other functions as much as possible, but I...|||Can you be more specific? This doesn't help me get at the heart of the problem you're seeing.|||;)    Yeah...it isn't perhaps the best way to determine type, but being unlike those of a certain type is usually a red flag. Of course, it's always valid to question whether or not this person...|||It's only circular if you're coming from the perspective that my understanding of Ni (and my self-understanding based on that) is wrong. Why do you think this of what I've written?|||Renton  So right of the bat, I want to say that you're a young INFJ, mostly because I see a lot of myself in what you've written here. Just in general, I don't doubt you're intuition; you don't...|||Agniete I just wanted to drop in and let you know I haven't forgotten about this thread. I just had surgery, and while I'm lucid, I'm finding my brain isn't working at full capacity, and most of my...|||Yeah, which in of itself makes Jung's work that much more spectacular for even existing, but then that much more scary if he was just projecting. Typology probably needs to be a collaborative field....|||Yes, that's a good way of putting it.    I'm glad I'm being helpful, but I will also say that anything I write is going to have an INFJ bias to it. Whenever I try to describe functions beyond my...|||Thanks! I'm glad this is good stuff.    And once again, you manage to condense my thoughts quite well. As with my example from my ESFP friend, the point of conflict there was that he saw mental...|||Misconception #398372 about Ni: INxJs are intentional planners. Sigh. This one comes from the J stereotype about being intentional and planned, and many INxJs are like that, I'm not saying that they...|||Agniete  I'm picking up a pretty strong INFJ vibe from you. Really, it was there in your answer to the first question: that is Ni, no doubt about it--imagining possibilities from the perspective of...|||Sorry it's taken me so long to respond to this. Every time I got around to this thread something came up. :P Anyway, I'm here now.    Depends on the INTP. ;) In contemporary MBTI, this difference...|||I figured as much. I would consider not relating to these at least equal with relating to the rest of the description, especially the second part. Dominant feelers, in my experience, almost always...|||Eluid Sade  Which parts of inferior Ti do you not relate to?|||Oh, it's still a problem.    Haha, I've stopped putting too much stock into the last letter. Here are my results:  485794  I am not nearly that J.|||In seventh grade I took a Myers-Briggs test as part of the career inventory thing that they make everyone do at some point. I scored INFP then (and, when I rediscovered MBTI four years later, I...|||If only there was an online test I could take for it...wait, here we go:  https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test  It's fun to make fun of MBTI sites.|||I actually don't know. AB or O- run in the family.|||Well, as I said, I think you're my clone. I got the same image when you described it.    Sounds like a pretty IxFx thought process. I think INFJs especially have a ways of idealizing their...|||No worries. ;)    What I find most interesting about what you've written here isn't so much the content, but the poetry with which you write it. You have a very idealized impression about these...|||Always glad to help, and I'm glad that you enjoyed this conversation; I did as well. :) Good luck on your exams. Feel free to mention me in a post or message me if you have any more questions.|||I have not, but it doesn't sound like a pleasant time.    I'd imagine chronic anxiety could bring out the inferior function.    Yeah. Do be careful about developing your inferior, though;...|||Yeah, I feel you. As you practice dealing with those thoughts, though, it does get easier.    Ah, yeah, the anxiety would make that difficult. What I keep wondering right now is if you might...|||Yeah.    I'd believe it. You don't write like an F-dom.    Yeah. I guess at the very least, find ways to let go of things. Maybe throughout your day, as things come up that cause you worry,...|||My own philosophy professor once equated reading Nietzsche with falling in love, whatever that's worth to you.    I believe I saw that thread. I think it's pretty good description, but I think...|||Yeah. The very fact that INTJs are generally the ones with world domination plans is rather funny in of itself, I think. It's the quiet ones that you always least expect, I guess. But yes, as a...|||Probably. Any thinking, really. Personally, I prefer the Ax-B-C-Dy function stack compared to Grant's. It allows for the parts where Grant gets it right while still being consistent with Jung, i.e.,...|||I misspoke there. Coming at it to validate the bad parts of yourself is the bad approach. I definitely feel the need for validation myself, much for the same reasons you said, and my own inability to...|||It sounds like you're coming at this with the right heart. Too often people come to typology looking for validation.  As far as Ni differing based on the individual, definitely. I don't get those...|||No problem. Yeah, I think it is one of the failings of contemporary MBTI that it relegates the I/E distinction to the back seat; one's attitude is more incidental due to one's functional preference....|||Jung places primary emphasis upon the attitudes, so at its heart, that's what that statement was getting at. More specifically, I was referring to its relevance to the whole psyche. Functions just...|||Ich. I hate it when that happens.    Yeah. And this is that pulp MBTI I was talking about. People want MBTI to explain why they like chocolate or something ridiculous like that. You're right...|||frigus  As an answer to the title of this thread, here's my question: can a butterfly look like a moth if viewed from far enough away?  I think the far enough away bit is probably the problem...|||Yeah. In general I know whether or not something is pleasing or displeasing to me. My emotions tend to be more represented to me through the weather. If I feel good, my mind seems sunny and bright to...|||Hello!  Would anyone mind changing my username to Anslem? (Spelled like that.) I'd appreciate it.|||I think Fi probably looks quite pure to Te-doms. Te can be rather cutthroat and immoral if it lacks the proper Fi, so I'd imagine that seeing someone who prefers Fi making the very judgments that...|||No offense taken. I have a rather lengthy writing style.  Let's see...one paragraph.  Tests aren't definitive because they measure performance, and your inner mental states are impossible to...|||ferroequinologist Just for clarification: were you directing that post at me or at OP? This is probably obvious, but I was a little confused.|||Seeing evidence for both can be an indication that neither axis is dominant in your personality, and the fact that you're certain of your sensation would reinforce this (an ESxP or ISxJ will probably...|||Jung told a story to illustrate intuition once. He saw two patients, a sensing man and an intuitive woman. He said something along the lines of and of course they were attracted to each other. As a...|||Yeah, I think Ne can be a lot like Se in this respect, just interacting with the world and whatnot.    I would agree with this. I think this part of Ni is only really special from the outside...|||I agree that we tend to latch on to things. I just hesitate to call that Ni specifically because that's a quality of introversion in general, I think.|||My guess would be Se. Sensation either way, but like I said in my previous post, I don't think the attitude of the aux really matters terribly much.|||Part of the reason I realized I wasn't a lead 4 myself. I think just being feeling makes one more likely to be seen as 4.    Definitely. I joke sometimes that N actually means neurotic. Honestly,...|||Yeah, this also seems to reinforce the Fi. This sort of behavior seems common among that type.    Haha, at least you don't wear your emotions on your face. I have no poker face whatsoever.   ...'
