We can have a good laugh though.  I know one ENFP well, always got on with him and found him...|||yeah you're right. I'm going to have to try harder.|||That's spot on, and that's the issue.

She just gets...|||My ISFJ mum and ISTJ dad have just had a massive go at me for absolutely nothing.  I say that, my mum did, my dad just agreed with her. That tends to be the case.

If I am in a depressed state of mind for whatever reason, I...|||I do do well in tests considering the amount of effort I put in, but I never get a perfect score or anything like that.  I remember in GCSE's, I did no revision whatsoever and I passed them all,...|||I know what you mean, just she reminds me of me in a lot in interviews.

Even lecturers at Uni before they knew me thought I didn't understand their lectures because I look 'puzzled' throughout...|||Spot on. I was trying to explain this to my ISFJ mother earlier, I'm pretty sure she just thought I was using it as an excuse rather than sharing with her how my personality differs in that sense...|||It looked like typing errors were causing the spelling mistakes anyway, I was just being picky.|||Yes.

And trust me... there are other blatant spelling...|||That sums it up for me really.|||I'm going to make the assumption that a fair few INTP's don't have tattoos.
