'I got 593.  From what I've read about the Enneagram I'm a 953, though.  I read somewhere that a lot of 9's mistype themselves as 5's.|||GTFO FEELER!|||A lot of the stuff that you read in the INTP descriptions applies to ISTPs a well.  Like you mentioned we share a dominant function. Honestly, I think that even some of the things those descriptions...|||Don't worry about it.  You are trying to make sense of the world and it's hard to ask this kind of question without being offensive.  Luckily, ISTPs don't usually get offended too easily.  I've...|||My mother-in-law is an ESTJ.  She is the epitome of an upstanding citizen.  She volunteers at her church.  She is eager to to any kind of manual labor to help someone out.  She is a teacher in one of...|||I'd rather buy my own cheap lawn mower to walk behind 40 minutes a week than have to drive to a rental shop and load up a nice mower every time I wanted to mow my yard.  It pisses me off enough to...|||I can't think of any great ones.   It may be better to post this question in the cognitive functions forum. They've been helpful for me when I had these kinds of questions. I'd be interested in...|||I have a Facebook account but I don't use it.   I do like twitter. I never tweet but it is interesting to see what people are saying about the snl episode or basketball game that I am watching in...|||I experience almost everything mentioned in this 6 page thread but this sticks out to me.  I will analyze something to the point that I can't remember all of the reasons that support my argument. ...|||http://i.imgur.com/qd2Eb.gif|||Interesting.  If Clay Aiken tested as an ISTP that is further evidence that the tests don't mean a lot.   I think Aiken is an ENFJ.  He uses Fe a lot and has an in charge interaction style.  He...|||Really rare for me too.  I can't even remember a time I've said it to my parents, although I think I have.|||I like ISFJ females. I've been lucky enough to be around a few that aren't overtly emotional. My wife is one and her mom is an ESTJ tyrant. That made her a lot mare logical than I think she would...|||Crap ... now I have to go slower. :laughing:  I'm sure it all depends on who is watching and what mood they're in.  Also, what kind of car you are driving.  Some departments find reasons to pull...|||Maybe it's just me. I love setting how things work like that though, even if it is CGI.|||Thanks.  I've been reading this subforums off and on for months now and never noticed if anyone cussed or didn't until after I posted that question.  The inner dialog I posted above was highly...|||Netflix and/or Bit Torrent.  I love living in the future where we can choose what we want to entertain us.|||You watch  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPoHPNeU9fc and your favorite part is watching Tony Stark's apartment remove his suite. (no homo)|||This.  The limit on the main road in my town is 50.  If I'm driving my 5 speed, I will be at the limit faster than the guys in the other lanes 95% of the time.  After that at least one of them...|||I'm big into a lot of different kinds of Rock.  Classic rock was the first kind of music that I listened too that I still consider worth anything.  My favorite band from that genre, or any for that...|||People who are physically in my way annoy me.  - When people drive slowly and I have no way to get around them.  - In the super market, people who stand around and don't give anyone a path to go...|||Hm ...

If you saw the last episode of The Celebrity Apprentice, Clay Aiken sat him down and tried to have a discussion about...|||http://i.imgur.com/bvj3Q.gif  Yay for rotary!|||I do that a lot too.  Loosely defined, that could be considered customization, as well.  At least it is different than the factory settings.|||I thought so too when I first ran into the MBTI.  I prefer Se/Ni over Ne/Si for sure, though.  My high level of introversion makes me seem more like an NT than an SP.  I think ISTPs get a bad rap...|||Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I think an Ne user would want to brainstorm about different things that something could be where an Se user would just enjoy actually doing the customization. ...|||I am feeling more comfortable with ISTP now.  What really helped tie everything together for me was taking some time to learn about the enneagram.  After understanding that I am an enneagram type 9 I...|||Are there any types that like to customize our stuff as much as ISTPs?  I tend to (at least want to) customize everything that I own.  It is to the point that customizing something is about at the...|||Thanks, allisreal. I haven't put much consideration into typing myself as an ISFJ.  I will read and think about it to see what I come up with.  I'm still leaning ISTP right now though.|||I think I made this post to see if anyone would look at my answers and say something like you can't be an SP because of this and this.  I know I'm an introvert and I use my body too well to be an...|||I realize that I am raising a zombie thread here but screw it.  Top Gear is my favorite show. I have put some thought into their types.  Clarkson = ENTJ He definitely has an in charge...|||I think he is an ENTP.  This doesn't sound very scientific but I think it works pretty well.  When I try to decide between iNtuition and Sensing I try to look at the way the guy moves and image...|||1) What aspect of your personality made you unsure of your type? I am pretty conscious about hurting people feelings.  I don't like to watch someone be an outcast when it is obvious that they would...|||If I understand Se correctly I do think he uses that.  I remember listening to him describe the parties that he throws at his house.  They sound wild and very Se friendly.  He seems like he is up for...|||I don't have anything to add except that I think you are spot on.  He is a really interesting guy.|||Are you talking about Penn Point?  I used to watch those every once in a while when they were hosted on revision3.com.  That is one of the reasons I am interested in typing him.  He is still putting...|||Penn's stage personality is loud, animated and a lot of people would say annoying.  If you watched his Showtime show, Bullshit, he calls the people he disagrees with Asshole.  He is a cast...|||epic, that is a good way to explain it.  Thanks for clearing that up.    This is what has really helped me as well.  Even thought I am not nearly as good at social situations as ESxPs (for...|||My experience with social anxiety has been really similar to what a lot of you have said.  I was very socially anxious as a kid.  I always felt inferior.  As I got older I learned to not care as...|||I looked into day trading for a while.  I practiced trading FOREX with some free software that I found that allowed to do make fake trades where no money was involved.  I watched a ton of videos on...|||I agree with and experience everything posted so far.    These two are things that I do all the time and have always done.  I've been wondering if they had to do with Ti or are just a shared...|||I hit my first and second home runs after about 4 years of slow pitch softball on Friday night.

A couple of things I would add to the list: - If Aliens were already here and they have the ability to communicate with us, we would probably...|||Yeah.  I wanted to say the best game is one that involves no luck but that isn't really true.  The best games are above all else fun to play and/or watch.|||It depends on how you look at it, I guess.  If you think it is unfair that someone has more or less skill than his opponent, than you are right.  I see games as a chance to find out who has the...|||I saw this show while flipping through channels one night last week and thought of this thread.  It's called Alternate History.  Wouldn't you know, the first episode was about what would the US look...|||Khys I'm right there with you about the getting old thing.
