Have a list of important things to see and bring, but allow yourself enough time to deviate...|||Heh, my dad's an ENTJ, very strong TJ, so I like to think I have some experience. Ts will listen to reason and will usually be happy to explain themselves if asked respectfully. Try to see things...|||I know very little about the Canadian school system, but here in the U.S. I ended up becoming a general studies major. One of the best decisions I ever made.|||Heh, I usually just do the whole project myself or make sure my grade is high enough that it can take a hit.  Have you considered asking this question in the ENTJ forum? They might have some...|||Errr....I'm not really sure how to respond after reading the op. I guess I'm not clear on what the point is that you're trying to make. :/|||I've been on Lexapro for a while, and I pretty much swear by it. Didn't have any side effects, although I remember when I first started it, I had more energy without the improved mood. In other...|||What about helping her find a new job? Or helping her through the complaint process if that's what she decides to do? For me, whenever I find myself in a bind, what I often need is *practical* help,...|||My mom's an ISFJ, and she is definitely my best friend. She doesn't sound like any of the things you guys have mentioned! It probably helps that she's a healthy Enneatype 9.|||I'm not sure I agree with PaladinRoland. Who's to say that the op's friends arenx92t merely respecting her and their feelings? If she wants them to leave, then maybe they feel they should respect her...|||I have the same confusion as @ATLeow. On the other hand, do you feel like you still primarily use Fi and Ne, but they are underdeveloped for an INFP? I hope that makes sense. If your environment has...|||haha My dad is an ENTJ (strong TJ) and my mom is an ISFJ (strong F).   In your case, definitely take Manunkind's advice--always be direct and honest. To add to that, accept your boss's criticism...|||Vent with a friend, take a nap, chill out while listening to Owl City or other relaxing music, go for a walk...If I need to decompress but can't get away, taking a few deep breaths really does help.|||I'm a Christian, and last semester I dabbled a bit in Zen Buddhism for a project combining a philosophy class and my Eastern Psychology class taught by a Soto Zen monk. I'm no expert, but overall,...|||haha I haven't gotten in enough fights to know, but maybe? So true! I can't tell you how many times I've gone to my favorite professor, an INTP, freaking out about something and he just exudes total...|||I dunno...though now that I think about it, the INTPs I know I'd say are pretty well-developed, probably more so than the ENTPs. One INTP I knew was an asshole, though I would still describe his...|||Eh, I think they get tired of dealing with stupid people and their bullshit. INTPs I've found to be generally pleasant and even-keel, less prone to show their disdain. Maybe it's because ENTPs have...|||Is it because of the E/I difference? Because I often find them too cranky to want to spend too much time around people. ENTJs on the other hand....oof. haha|||Yeah, I dunno. I can remember a debate I got into with an ENTP, and it was fine, no hard feelings at all and no yelling or anything. The one I couldn't stand, a former professor, just had all the...|||I can think of a handful of ENTPs that I've met over the years. There's only been one I didn't like--he was a complete ass. Otherwise, I enjoy their company, and they're quite fun to talk to and be...|||Yeah, I know how that goes. Story of my life. >.< It seems so hard to find compatible people that when you do you want to latch on right away because it's taken them soooooooooo long to get here, and...|||haha yep! I've gotten better, but seriously, someone needs to spell this shit out for me. And then, just when you think things are going according to your new plan, someone does something that throws...|||Hate away. The only one flipping out here is you. I’m guessing you didn’t read at least the first and last few lines of my post conveniently located at the top of this page. I’m asking what’s NORMAL...|||lol That's exactly what I'm saying. Bing and Facebook are usually my one-two punch, but it's not working in this case.   Lol Yep, thatx92s not what Ix92m going for. Though I have considered it since...|||Wow, so many responses already! Thank you!  Brace yourself. This post is gonna be long.   I hope nobody feels like Ix92m antagonizing them. I really just want to understand, and being direct is...|||Hey, guys! I’ve been emailing a guy, whom I think is an INFJ, for a little over a month, and I can’t help but feel like he’s being unusually private, even to the point that he might be hiding...|||What if you got your participation kicks out by communicating primarily outside of class with just the professor or, if you can find one, another student who cares about the same topics you do? That...|||hahaha You guys crack me up!   You know, I feel like the ENFPs might enjoy a debate about chocolate.... ;)|||My thought is to focus on them, take advantage of what they have to offer. I find that whenever I have a problem, the types you just mentioned are often the types of people I go to to help me. ISFJs...|||I've noticed that a lot of people's cognitive functions end up way out the theoretical order. I don't put too much stock in the cognitive functions tests.

I think the best thing you can do to help figure out your type is to do a lot of browsing around the forums to see which type you relate with the best.|||Between the two, you seem more ENFP-ish to me. Welcome! :)|||Bummer! :/ Seriously, I would post your request in the TJ forums, see if anyone takes you up on it if you haven't already. I just know from my dad (a very strong TJ) that he's a pro at keeping people...|||Love me some ENTJs! lol I'll bite. I'm wondering: how are you guys in a relationship, particularly when it's just starting out, just talking, and things aren't exactly close to being official?|||Accountability? Ask a xxTJ. ;) I can't stick to a Bible reading plan to save my life. Good luck! :)|||I voted on behalf of an awesome 3w2 ESTJ. :)|||Hey, ENFJs! I was wondering: what does quality time look like for you?

Keep 'em coming! :)|||Hello, ENFJs! What are your thoughts on what to get my new, lovely ENFJ guy for Valentine's Day? We've been seeing other other for a week, and he, apparently, is getting me something. I'd just as...|||Bah, take a number. :P|||Just posted this in the pictures thread for everyone. Figured I'd post it here, too. It's probably one of my better ones. 28553|||haha Well try the OMG, I can't believe he said that, but honestly I kind of like it approach. ;) Seriously, if someone outright told me they thought I was cute or whatever, I'd be really flattered...|||I love both.
