Identifying your strong points in the dichotomy, automatically, implies certain...|||I'm just not very interactive. I feel no need to speak or to receive feedback, most of the time. I only speak (at length) when I'm required to. Talking for long periods of time is something that...|||I'm not doubting my type, but I wonder if anyone is.  I am not much of a talker, or of a typer, apparently. Although, from all of you that claim to see cognitive functions floating all over the...|||I've been blogging since 2004 and have settled my blog under a particular domain name since 2006. A few years ago, I've deleted all the posts because they were not about me anymore. Now it is a...|||They've included an aspect of the big 5 on the test. Perfectionism and being success driven is often related to Te. I don't think it could be called turbulence, but can easily lead to frustration...|||Smashing Pumpkins Sigur Rós  Those are, unquestionably, my favorites.

I've even been tempted to start a thread about it, but the question stood locked in the depths of my...|||Your score was 98 of 100.   hahaha... haha... ha.|||There isn't really a thought process, it is black and blue. But I did explain why I can't see it as white and gold in my previous post and, therefore, how I know it's blue and black.|||It is obviously blue and black. I've never seen it as white and gold, but some people do because their brain is compensating a supposed blue tint of the picture, assuming poor white balance that...|||If you haven't seen them yet, these videos may give you some insight:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYObahl0p6E   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V45AK1qCmJ8  Pardon my laziness.|||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYMCLz5PQVw|||This easy change of functions, as you described, is very unlikely. Overall, though, it depends on which theory you choose to use. The MB theory would, technically, allow the existence of hybrids,...|||The SpongeBob Movie.|||I only cry if there is something I can relate to myself in a negative way.  There is this feeling of loss, though, in which there is no crying, it just feels as if a part of me died. It only...|||I've heard more than one INFP stating something similar, but, if you take my word for it, I'd say it's unfounded. And being yourself is the best way to be surrounded by people that really appreciate...|||It's overrated.      Just kidding. The academic life demands me to be more verbally persuasive than I'd like to. Scientific research demands me to have no fear of being wrong. In sum, it...|||My first post sounds quite arrogant, actually. It was intended as a joke, mostly. An academic degree does not, and will not, make me feel superior to anyone. I've used some exaggeration since I...|||I really mean it when I say it sounds interesting. It is completely against my nature and I see this as a limitation. I've been told, way too many times, that I've missed the point in life when I...|||When I was about five, I wanted to be an astrophysicist. The original post reminds me that my family kept repeating that I actually wanted to be an astronaut, because they thought I didn't knew the...|||Judging functions are about drawing conclusions, not acquiring information.

Plus, some regular brands sell refills of their products in a kind of sachet so you can...|||Since you asked the same thing at the INTJ subforum, I think you won't mind if I answer this thread, so I'll take the risk of stating the obvious and only reinforce what has been said.  In daily...|||Inferior Se can also look like that in more stressful days, but it is not an everyday thing.  It seems to me that my inferior Se is quite underdeveloped and this makes me feel threatened by the...|||Maybe different personality types like to experience different kinds of feelings with music. I've seen some INTJs attesting that they use it to evoke sadness and, ultimately, to cry. I have also done...|||Recluse BrainStormer333 It is not an axiom and it is not a rule, it is only a popular misconception. Fluency does not equates to intelligence in despite of how it may feel like.

This post, for example, is a bit more specific about what you want to know. Of course those are opinions, though.|||I know an ISTP that also has pretty good reflexes and hand-eye coordination. He is an outstanding goalkeeper, even though he isn't very athletic.  I thought I could contribute to the statistic...|||First let me answer something you didn't ask.

Many INTJs seem to be skeptical about it, believe it or not.|||I would say that INFP + INTJ is not a good match, just like the INTJ + ENFP relationship. That doesn't mean those types are worse than others, just that it doesn't seem to work if you consider the...|||The other day, a INFP mentioned how it is the worst personality type, and nobody likes them, and, honestly, I don't see it.
