From what little time I've spent here, I've enjoyed reading about your journey and that of your INFP.|||Congrats!|||I feel like everyone scores INTJ on tests. I got into this because several people I know on Facebook posted that they'd taken an online test... and got that result. They aren't really that common,...|||Estj.|||OK, so I have another question. I've been thinking about MBTI in relation to Asperger's again, specifically the cognitive functions as I learn about them. Do you think it's possible that a person's...|||No type, but my current favorite is Twisted by Stevie Nicks--about how our passions are sometimes so great that they threaten to consume us.|||Welcome, and thank you for all that you do!

For example, a stressful time, mental illness, medications, special life circumstances? Other useful information includes sex, age,...|||I was thinking today about how people say they hate small talk. It's not really about not liking, though; that's just something people who aren't good at small talk say as a coping mechanism for...|||Oooh, how about this one (from an ESFJ): why don't you call up so-and-so and meet her for coffee?  Or you need to make more friends.|||Haha, some people will say anything to say something, and sometimes they sound so dumb.  My mom and I went to see an obscure-ish play that's being performed in my city starting in September and...|||I highly doubt that being clumsy is related to being a sensing or intuitive type. I'm an Se type and I do this kind of stuff a lot.

Inferior Fe in ISTPs has an all-or-nothing quality to it (as with all inferior functions)--like it might be fully there but it controls us (and it's...|||Doctor Zhivago.|||I'm tied for physical touch and quality time. Quality time, because I value people, especially romantic partners, who take the time to listen to me; those are the types of people that I want to be...|||I don't know much about the military, but it seems as though, if you're an officer, you'd be in charge of other people.
