'If I started renovating just like that, it would end in the mother of all chaoses and I wouldn't mind. Probably. So I see where you are coming from: a desire to have a room that can be called in good...|||Well. Perhaps related in the most general of ways, like zynthaxx said, a dislike for invasion of personal space and privacy, and possibly ISTPs are more private than other types. In that sense,...|||It's hardcore-SP :tongue:  So yeah, I relate. By now, I try to make it very clear that anything I say comes with the caveats of current position and maybe, unless I specifically promise to do...|||I have found no consistency in this as yet. It's contradictive. In general, I can find pleasure in a perfect something. And I like to think that if I do something, I do it right. On the other hand,...|||This is nice of you and I mean this without any further meaning than the literal one. (Except possibly wondering why you don't cut those people out of your life if they are that annoying. Family?...|||I certainly see where you're coming from. The issue, as such, seems easy enough to relate to: Like I mentioned before, I consider things internally and have a tendency to suddenly voice parts of it....|||... what just happened to the thread? o.O   NipNip : I haven't read bigger nonsense in a while. If you feel sufficiently offended, ask, otherwise w/e.   Divine Giver : ... I suppose, if you came...|||I realise this might not be entirely serious (... Maybe? I hope?), but I would like to know what I have in common with an ESFP. There probably is something, I guess, but if so, it's certainly not...|||Personally, I see this not (only? mostly?) as a feature of Ti, but rather, a lack of the opposite. The point is that you're not emotionally invested. As such, you can't exactly react emotionally...|||https://us.123rf.com/450wm/mihtiander/mihtiander1402/mihtiander140200252/25581649-young-couple-relaxing-on-top-of-a-mountain-and-enjoying-sunrise.jpg?ver=6  (For the non-ISTP- and non-ISTP-knowing...|||Thoughts is that you're asking the wrong question. Distant is distant is distant, but what matters is; is he more distant than usual? If yes, he's trying to work something out.

The obvious thing to do is to call the hotel, of course,...|||4) She's dead.  It appears the question isn't what you should do, but what you can do. The most likely answer appears to be: Nothing. So nothing is what you should do. Unless you want to actually...|||But what is this way? People keep saying this, but no one ever specifies. It is rather hard to consider adapting the communication style, or even just talk about the issue, if no one ever says what...|||I'm still not convinced it's a problem. The difference is as indicated by  Demtrae above, but what relevance as a fundamental problem would that pose?  At the risk of invoking S stereotypes: Can...|||This is my experience as well (from the other end). Did you ever consider it a fundamental problem, though -- in the sense that it presented an insurmountable barrier between the two of you that made...|||If you would like this actually answered, you had best look for whether there are studies concerning this issue. If you're just looking for anecdotes: I know enough F types that prefer maths over...|||So it might depend on which Thinker, but perhaps repress is not the best way to describe it. As my emotions are quite distant from myself to begin with, the opposite picture would work better: If I...|||Hah! And to your efficiency through coordination and established precedents, I raise you the leaps of progress that only happened because someone went ...wtf are we doing? and came up with a...|||I can't think of any, admittedly XD  My wedding experiences usually amount to eating, talking, and eventually doing calculations on napkins, at which point I indeed excuse myself and leave. (With...|||See, now that is the very opposite of what I meant. If you do end up behaving in a manner that is different to how you usually behave, do it for your sake, not for someone else's. Be cheerful at the...|||Much obliged, my willingness to help increased 10%.   There are two answers. One, be prepared -- if you bring it up (which you needn't) -- for him already having forgotten ever being grumpy (or in...|||... but 'logical' will have a different meaning. Also, well, yes. Most people can behave opposite to how they usually behave. It's, as always, a statement about preferences, not about can or can'ts....|||Turi: See, now you called S simple too :tongue:  It's true, though, in a sense, and I really appreciate that. It's simple in the sense that it cuts away all the clutter and focuses sharply on...|||I'm not sure if you are still missing the point, Turi. Given the 18 pages, I'm sure someone tried to point this out before, but let me try again. And by way of example, because S.  If a person, I...|||Well, bonus points for honesty takkenne. Always appreciate a clear view of one's self.   Makes perfect sense, and it's funny how much I'm indeed your opposite. I see no point in lying about my...|||The thing is, that is exactly what I don't need. In the strictest sense, my own company is quite enough. Other people are nice, but optional, and yes, this extends to years. What drives me insane...|||... is none of your concern.  Therefore: No, and no. What might be there is a technical notebook, e.g. detailing an experiment. It will be remarkable for zero personal stuff, and its dry,...|||I suppose it is, but I'm not the one you want to talk about this. I never cared enough to look all that much beyond my own type, so the only real insight I have to offer is that you're not it. I just...|||I see N over S and I definitely don't see an ISTP. Have you tried to find out where your need for external validation comes from and/or which type this might indicate?|||I suspect that will be the end of it. Then again, you never know. If you do get that far, being a reasonable person will be enough -- because the rest (getting her interested) isn't something you can...|||That is has to do with types (or rather: that types can be divided by this issue) is already clear by the very concept you are using. Lateness implies valuing punctuality. If you don't care about...|||In what sense, exactly? Taken literally, this statement seems trivially wrong, so I'm not sure what you mean.|||Like I said before, I have problems to apply this concept of genuineness or authenticity. If I am what I want to be, but what I want to be includes being different things to different people, in...|||Are you intentionally separating feeling and emotional response here? I would posit that the response is entirely under your control, but the feeling is not; however, it you simply meant that a...|||Yes.

It's the same reason why the wall in your room isn't bitchy. If you want that peace and quiet though, you're...|||Strictly this says nothing about Thinking, just thinking, and everyone can do that. The more relevant difference, if you're looking between IxTP and IxFP, is how close you are to your emotions. On...|||... if someone actually invented a reasonable something that would spare me the time I waste cooking and eating every day, I would pay a lot of money for it. I can think of approximately a hundred...|||Yes, a lot. And no, in my experience, it's rather a lack of typical Se-engagement (or Ti-heaviness) and typing by behaviour that leads to the (quite common) IxTP mistypes. In the end, the types...|||The correct answer is that I am not labels. Including and especially non-conformist. I am what I am and (together with it is what it is) every ISTP will understand what that means.  Actually,...|||Yes, I learned recently that apparently, you do not go alone to concerts. It simply never occurred to me, so I did it wrong all those years. I hope they will forgive me.  That aside, if quality of...|||In more relevant matters, have you ever noticed this tactic to fail for hardcore sensors? I looked at that post, found no point, shrugged, and left. I think it's a blessing, really -- the world is so...|||Keep in mind, though, that in some sense, you are one of those hybrid-types. There is a certain truth to how the difference is described for the clearest thinking/feeling types, at least as far as...|||I never struggled, no. I had the (typical?) good motoric control of my body and hand-eye-coordination. I was a fair gymnast, for instance. And I enjoy running, simply for the sake of it (I'd be a...|||Well, don't hold back on my account, anyway.  I'm not sure whether you haven't understood what I meant, or if you did, but disagree. Yes, naturally, fearing death would include the process of...|||It does for now, luckily. How it'll look like in a year I couldn't tell you for obvious reasons, but I'm sure I can make it work, whichever way it goes.

Being less facetious, but equally true: I generally try to keep my commitments to a minimum --...|||Well, that's the obvious and perfectly common-sense way of dealing with what's really a non-issue in a group setting, no? When I arrived at lectures at any point from five minutes before the start to...|||... I think it's been a while since I read something that made less sense to me.
