'Yeah, exactly! Either that or reading books... :D|||I don't know if some of you can relate to that, but I think INTPs are also typical tinkerers. People who like to try out things and combine them in an unusual way, not necessarily to create something...|||Wow, I'm doing exactly the same thing! XD My father is often lauging about this since I have different notes for everything, like bring the trash out, switch off the heating... ect. I store them...|||Well, I'm starting to think that my idea wasn't so smart after all. :D Okay, as I said, one of my function test result was Fi first and Ti right behind it. I read about both to see which one is the...|||I expected this kind of questions. To be honest, my knowledge about functions is somewhat limited, but I was aware that there must be an extraverted, an introverted function, one for decision making...|||Yeah, I also think so. And I had a similar approach. I just took the cognitive functions because they made sense to me as a basic system and then I just combined the possible top two functions...|||Ah okay, now I've got it. But as I said, the main problem is that people may not fully identify with a type which has a partly different order of functions. It would be more accurate and more...|||That's very easy. I just took the primary and secondary function the mbti type is using. Yes of course, it's lacking the tertiary and inferior function, but these are not defined in this model.|||I know that there are certain rules within the mbti system. My problem is that you may can't choose your actual order you got from the test. Fi and Ti wouldn't go together in any type for example. I...|||I am (probably) NF and I'm used to forget where I laid things down, especially when I'm doing some kind of project which totally absorbs my attention. I certainly have some special places where I put...|||Hello! I don't know if anyone had the idea of this possibility before, but I made a little chart to show it. Perhaps the funcions can't be combined this way... I just thought it would may lead to...|||Okay, then I would say that this function is rather natural to me. But this is not so easy to determine.  For instance, these two things are somewhat familiar to me. (source: Extraverted Thinking)|||Does it also mean that you are sweet inside and have a slightly vanilla-tasting flavor? ;)  Well, Grey could be right with her guess, and I also don't know much about the functions, but there could...|||I guess of this both, Ti would be familiar to me than Ni. I realized that INTP has Ti as main function, INFP in contrast, Fi. That's clear. These are the most familiar and simultaneously, the most...|||Well, then probably Se. Fe also a bit, but I guess Se is the least natural to me.    Yeah, you're right. There are also more important things to do. ;)|||Sorry for the double post, but after I checked the functions again, it looks like this:  Fi>Ti>Ne>Te>Ni>Fe>Si>Se  As you could see, Fi is quite strong, which would make me a INFP. But...|||Of course you're not offending me in any way. I know I only have a poor knowledge about these functions so it's very good that you corrected me. I partly interpreted the descriptions as I thought...|||Okay, thank you very much for your effort. I'll try to describe you how I think I use the functions: (I'll use the descriptions of cognitiveprocesses.com as information resource.)  Se: I think I...|||Well, I would be grateful for any useful information you could give me. Maybe you have found more stuff than I did. (sorry, I didn't really understand what you meant in the first part^^)|||I read a bit about functions and what they are, but I always found it harder to understand what they stated compared to the questions of 'normal' test like that one of humanmetrics.com or others. Do...|||Well, I had a try and the result was very surprising to me:   Cognitive ProcessLevel of Development (Preference, Skill and Frequency of Use) extraverted Sensing (Se)    ...|||Yeah, that's how it is, thank you. Of course, it would be easier to just ask someone who you are... you'll have a fast answer, but the true one will may be different. It's the hard part to gain...|||Yes, absolutely. I think the mood does influence your answers very much. I'm also a person which looks at questions like this from many different angles... honestly, sometimes I can't decide which...|||Hello forum people, At first, sorry for posting another thread about me, but sometimes I'm about to loose the faith in this 16-type-system... It's like a repetitive process: I type myself, read...|||Hello folks, anyone interested in a 3-day pass for Killing Floor? I've got one left and it expires tomorrow. So, the first one who is interested will get it. Hurry up. (A steam account is required...|||Yeah, good description. I think you made a good point about the ISTJ's way of creativity.|||ABDC - male - ISTJ|||I was also obsessed with playing Legos as a child. (btw: What type of Lego player are you? I'm a builder and sometimes Experimenter) ;) Today I like to draw from time to time and make metal...|||English and Art were my best ones.|||Hey, I know what you mean. I know some people at my school and they also know me. Sometimes I talk with them (they even answer occasionally ;)) but I'm always happy when the day is over. There just a...|||Join one of the SJs, the largest club of the world. ;) (It's the better choice)|||Hello and welcome to the forum!    You really are? Okay, then look at this: http://www.cocoo.co.uk/images/big/spiral.gif|||Welcome! I did it the same way actually... ;) I hesitated to join the forum because of all those weird people here. :D|||Hello and welcome Spongebo... ahh... Ishiko! ;)  Have fun in the forum!|||@ Functianalyst  Yeah, you're right. We can only guess if the people did conform to society because they wanted to or because they just had to do so in former times. I meant that there could be a...|||Haha, nice. :) Well, there are also stupid SJ's for sure, but I also miss the common sense of the people in my ambit from time to time. I think some of my courses at school are almost overcrowded by...|||You both gave good answers. After I wrote the post I realized that I may have simplified the facts too much, so it's no problem if you want to correct me, Harley. ;) You're right, the typical family...|||Have you ever thought of how the ratio between the Personality types differ during the years? In my opinion, there could be a gradual decrease of SJ's.   I have an example for my claim regarding...|||Yes, exactly! Many people said I would never find friends if I always refuse to go to parties... but I think there won't be people who don't like parties as well. Most people in my courses at school...|||Well, there are only very few people I really like as friends. It's almost impossible for me to just go to a party and have fun, I already tried it, but I always feel totally alien there. I just...|||After realizing that I'm rather an ISTJ than INTJ, I also took the Enneagramm test. It said I would be a One and I think the description is right about the most of the facts. There are so few things...|||Exactly, thank you!|||Hello, welcome to the forum! My dad is also an ISTJ. ;)|||I'm a bit confused now, didn't Perseus mean me when he spoke of excellent ISTJ style? I thought he refers to the fact that I questioned my own type in another post... Anyway, I didn't mean my...|||Any other type suggestion for this person? Or do you all agree with those which were given?|||I would choose this a as INTJ theme song. You'll all know it, but I think it fits pretty well.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzV2s58P1rU|||I wasn't sure if he is either ISTP or INTP... this shows I wasn't that wrong at guessing his type.  Hehe, yeah I know. I'll just go as INTJ with a partly good developed S function. ;-)|||Of course, thank you for your guess!|||Okay, I hope you aren't sick of those friend typing threads... if so, you can close the window now. ;)  This  my best friend for many years. Unfortunately, he is unwilling to take a test and I...|||Okay, after I checked the functions and the humanmetrics.com test again (probably one of the best) I think I am an INTJ after all. I have some ISTJ traits for sure, but in everyday life, my Ni is...'
