MBTI Personality Test, Anyone?

[thecatumbrella]

Noooooo not that test

I appreciate that 16P is relatively quick. I took a more detailed one recently, and holy cow... it ripped me to shreds with nuggets like, "boring, plain, doesn't like to be looked at, can't handle even the smallest criticism". Like I crawled out from under a rock and am squinting into the sun.

Do your mental batteries recharge when you're around other people? Or do they recharge when you have time to yourself?

I like to think I'm pretty friendly and do enjoy interacting with people, but I can only do it in doses and need recovery time.

Recent self-testing shows that having several people over in a couple weeks' timespan was a bit too much, therefore indicting the latter.

INFP

I bounce between INTJ and INTP. This week, it's a P

Helps to focus on the functions, because Introverts are already split between P and J. (I'll spare you the explanation unless you want it).

Do you prefer the details, the nitty gritty of how something works?
Or do you prefer what you can do with it?

Pretend it's computers for a moment...
INTPs are all about building that perfect hardware system. Every spec should be just so, according to their individual Ti overthinking.
After it's built, they tend to just play games on it. Work is what they tell other people it's for.

An INTJ might care about having a good system, but for it's practical application. So they might build their own, say if they're a coder... but they chose the parts a bit more simply. Is that sufficient? Well reviewed? Ok done. There's not the perfectionist agonizing that Ti causes.
Then they get to work (probably coding or some necessary program) and they only play games to vent their feelings about other people or to socialize. Definitely not all day.

*A little bit of overgeneralizing, but here's hoping it might help.
** If you really can't feel like one type, it means you're definitely a high user of Ne, because that function feels like everything is possible as a rule, and hates confinement.

Well it never hurts to try them all and know for sure, even if it is a pseudoscience

How interesting that two extraverts made two introverts!

Go figure. We’ve scratched our heads for years at that

Both sound like me. I have a laptop. It's a nice laptop. It's no gaming PC, but it's pretty reasonable in terms of power. It turns out the most use that laptop generally gets is writing documents and adding blog posts.

It's practical, but it's also a bit extravagant. Might as well though.

No really, I bounce between because of my ADHD and my high impulsivity. It really depends on my distraction level and my mood. Today I'm more distracted, but less surly

Functions...
Mental strengths and weaknesses (aka type) don't transmit as a whole unit. It's more complicated. Functions are passed down and with the typical lottery system of other inheritance.
So grandparents matter too.
My mom is an ISFJ (Si, Fe, Ti, Ne). father an ISTP (Ti, Se, Ni, Fe)
I got Ni, Fe, Ti, Se.
See? Functions.
Lol I'm probably so annoying.
