Hey, my love for nature is from a couple things-- I am religious, so I see it as God's beauty and I appreciate it as such. Also, nature is free and wild. It's not contrived or man-made or made by our limited human imaginations. It is gentle and warm and harsh and severe all at once without...

Huh. See, I always thought of an introvert as someone who lost energy from social interaction and an extrovert as someone who becomes energized by social interaction. By that definition, I am an introvert-- socializing really wears me out. If there are Es who lose energy from social interaction...

This is very true. I'm very similar to you in that respect-- I talk to someone because I'm interested in something specific or because I want to bring something up. In other words, I talk to someone when I have something to say; I don't just talk for the sake of socializing. And yeah, folks are...

I appreciate your input! I do think that I am introverted, though. I like talking to folks online, but in limited doses. And in person, I get worn out and awkward pretty often. I don't really require much interaction with people-- my daughter and husband are more than enough 95% of the time...

Hm. I don't feel like I fit either of the initial descriptions, honestly. I philosophize and theorize a LOT, but then I want to go apply it and plan to work through it. For instance, I'll read a lot about a process or theory, then I want to go "apply" it by teaching it to someone else and having...

I was thinking the same, honestly-- if I read every personality type, I'm sure that I could find some things that agreed with me and others that didn't. I'm trying be as objective as possible-- hence why I said that some traits do align with my personality, such as a love for processes. I'll...

Lol all over the place. My family and friends have always kind of teased me about that. They've called me scatterbrained and an airhead quite a lot. I'm just not very good at staying focused-- the way that I describe it is I have several different "clouds" of thought going on at once. It's easy...

No worries, I wasn't too bothered-- more disgruntled than anything else haha :) I'm just a bit prickly at being compared to someone who sleeps with married celebrities, that's all.

Huh, very cool, thank you for the video. Is it terrible that I'm still not sure which I am? I certainly lean towards ISTP in that I am athletic (though I am NOT coordinated and I don't enjoy much competition). I hike, I do a lot of calisthenics (when I can convince myself to actually do...

Hm interesting, okay. That's an interesting division and one that I'm not sure which side I'm on. I like discussing how a specific thing works, but that's because I taught for a few years and I have a passion for spreading knowledge. I can be very solution-focused and I attribute that to my...

Gotcha, so the primary difference is preferring the cerebral instead of the physical? In that case, I would remain firmly an INTP. I do not prefer being "hands on".

So as a sort of shoot-off from the Relax thread, I have a few questions. I know very little about MBTI, especially compared to folks here on this forum, so I was hoping that y'all could help me understand a couple of things. What are major differences between the INTP and ISTP personalities...

I've tested INTP multiple times over the years, both in informal "fun" tests online and the "official" test when I was in the Air Force. I'll be honest, though, after reading your post, I just went and read a few profiles and I have a lot of qualities of the ISTP. I'm certainly a bit of a...

Reading. I love to read and research. I know that research isn't really "pausing the Ti" though, so I'll just stick with reading. I'm working on Game of Thrones book one right now and it's very good. It's a sort of escapism, I guess, but I like it. I love being absorbed into another world...

Ah, it was a joke? Awk. Sorry, I thought that it was making fun of my reaction. My bad. Oh my gosh, that's so funny!! I love little-kid hypotheses :D I taught science outreach classes for several years and kids had the funniest questions and guesses. I totally agree, their personality quirks...
