'Korpasov Thank you for clarifying!  I did want to throw this out there--I found it interesting in terms of psychological profiling.  Ted Bundy was able to target key identifying features...|||Well, if you look into the cognitive functions that accompany the theory, you'll find this isn't the case. This is why we refer to it as guidelines. If you look at the cognitive functions (Ti/Te,...|||Love the thread.  But I will say, towards the end of Bundy's career, he became increasingly more disorganized. He was often caught off guard in certain situations, causing him to improvise and...|||When I drink, I get drunk. And it partially removes that filter I have stopping my thoughts from making it into the world, which can be very good or very bad, depending on circumstance. I also get...|||You don't have to subscribe to this personality theory--it's just a theory after all.  The real question seems to be why it bothers you so much? I fully encourage you to do your own research over...|||INTJ  1. Are your sentences short or long? Are you straight forward or avoid or divagate around the subject? My sentences are short. Pretty straight forward.   2. Do you speak calmly, loud? Do...|||INTJ: Psychology/Anthropology|||I would definitely say INTP. Unless you're incredibly familiar with my thought processes, you're unlikely to know that there is a method to the madness. I can seem to have that natural flow, but in...|||As an INTJ, I will say I prefer T. It seems I can deal with extroversion if they aren't so feeling-based. Although I love my F friends, I definitely need to recharge after a while.  INFJ: My...|||I share very similar experiences with embarrassment and emotion. I am incredibly uncomfortable showing any emotion at all, especially positive (it is much more difficult for me to fake a smile than...|||I could tell you were one of us from the title. I just had to see if I was right (of course). Welcome.|||Serial killers, Nazi medical experimentation, Nordic mythology. Wow, I've got some dark obsessions right now.|||I won't get into too much detail since my knowledge on functional analysis is in no way extensive, but I did feel I had to throw out my two cents.  From what you've described here, I would most...|||Hah I have not! I'm very new to the test. I've read about it vaguely through my research, but I've yet to hit that as my main focus. I guess I should start!|||I was actually referring to the levels of development, as in I'm an unhealthy type. I've never really identified with 8, I'm surprised I came across as one hah|||Tell them to shove it.   You're an adult now, in charge of your own decisions. There is absolutely no reason they should have any say in the kind of apartment you should have or your marital...|||I did quite like the INTJ/INTP, but I did notice that most of the playlists all had the same genres in them, just with different songs.|||Haha, ah, gotcha. Well, I don't really have any specific references off the top of my head, except Anna Freud's The Ego and it's Mechanisms of Defense. I don't have access to my library at the moment...|||Well, how I usually begin my research process is Wikipedia. I'll gather the basics, organize it in a way that makes sense in my head, and then I'll go to Google/Google scholar, open like a million...|||I always enjoy logical fallacies, those are a nice mix of debate and literature. Also, since we're talking about faults, defense mechanisms are always fun. Graphology is an interesting one--the study...|||I just love personality theory. I've researched a lot of personality tests--but I like this one. I tend to favor many of Jung's theories.|||What are your general interests?|||Warning: Might be drunk.|||5w6, 1w9, 2w1|||This.|||I would say either an ISTJ, INTJ, or INTP.|||I think it would feel physically strange to yell. It happens sometimes, yeah, but that gives it more weight because they're used to quiet.|||Now, I can't be completely certain, as just recently I've been familiarizing myself with functional analysis of types. But, what I've seemed to notice in your post is a lack of describing any...|||I've made most of my close friends take the test... there are a few who I'm speculative on, but I'd like to see what the test tells me. However, in my experience of testing about 5 or so people, I do...|||Pilus XIV This also comes as no surprise to me. Compliments will make her slightly uncomfortable, but that doesn't mean she doesn't like receiving them. And even if she plays it off, keep giving...|||Pilus XIV  I can't speak for your wife, but as an INTJ female, I totally relate to her unwillingness to discuss past relationships, sex, and intimacy. At least for me, these are all topics which...|||perpetuallyreticent Yes that clarifies things. But I was actually wondering about the missing numbers, as I lean quite heavily towards 9. I was hoping maybe I'm not that bad, and perhaps just an 8,...|||Hello-- I see this is an old post, but I just found myself typed as a 512, did some research, and found this. I will disclose I've only recently familiarized myself with the basics of the test, and...|||Thank you all for the input!     perpetuallyreticent Thank you for this! Very detailed information--which of course has me over-analyzing everything all over again. Based on this, though, I still...|||Well, hmm. Using this as a guide, I can certainly eliminate self-preservation (although I do know many people like this). What sort of nonverbal behavior are you talking about in reference to sexual...|||I've just begun familiarizing myself with this test, and I haven't gotten a terrible amount farther than where I was. But I read more about it, understanding very rudimentary aspects. I read about...|||I was actually very curious to read other INTJ responses--good question for this type, as finding a significant other is often referred to as our Achilles Heel--and our tendency to look for a...|||As an undergrad, I majored in Psychology and minored in Anthropology.  I plan on applying to a PhD program in either Clinical Psych or Neuro.|||INTJ's are easily frustrated, but not easily angered. When they are though, at least coming from this INTJ, it can be a pretty explosive due to the underdeveloped F trait. And the explosion is mainly...|||I'm the same way with my ENFJ best friend. She also brings out my playful side and I can bring out her seriousness. We compliment each other well.  My other best friend is a (male) ENTP, the...|||Thank you all. I look forward to looking at that section of the forum myself. I look forward to mingling with the fellow Masterminds.   As for psychology: the areas I'm most interested in are...|||Hello, all.  Obviously, I'm new here. I've recently stumbled across the forum after my newly found obsession of encouraging everyone I know to take the MBTI and analyzing all of their responses....'
