    Work and me. What's my best option?

    Thanks for the feedback. There is a financial issue, I might be able to hold the fort for a while, however some bills I can't afford to pay right now. I'm going to see someone on the 14th for a psychiatric assessment I go to the job centre in my town, and look at jobs on offer. I can apply...

    Work and me. What's my best option?

    I suppose others have been open about their issues on this site, so I might as well explain mine. Right now, I'm out of work and relying on a sick-note with a time limit. The bills are mounting, debt is mounting meanwhile, and it is obvious that I need to do something about this situation...

    INTP and INTJ thinking styles

    What you state infers a lot. INTJs are linear thinkers, INTP prefer constellations :D My brother (INTJ) is focussed, organized, ambitious and goal-oriented. This is an outcome of linear thought. He will work extra hours on a project just to make it the best possible. INTP will go on data...

    Great typology test

    OK, I've had my espresso now. World tastes less bitter ;) This is true. To add to your observations, I have come across many tests which are poorly written, with unclear and sometimes irrelevant questions. Also, I have noticed some tests have copy-pasted questions from other tests on different...

    Great typology test

    Neither do I. Not all people on this forum identify as INTP. However, I do simply because the other 15 options don't describe me. +I suppose that I enjoy trying out new tests out of curiosity to test their accuracy. Perhaps. And I see the merits and deficits in the model. Just chose to...

    The INTP's guide to therapy

    Many 'T' types just don't 'get' emotional effusiveness. It confuses us. It's hard for us to relate to feelings (even our own feelings), and dealing with feelings in general can make us uncomfortable. This could be avoidance for that reason. Like I mentioned, he's probably simply avoiding the...

    Why introverts don't get social validation and other thoughts regarding Introversion

    People tell me I'm a "feeler". But I type as an INTP.

    Your functions are slightly unusual according to the results of the Jungian test. Such a high Si. It's cool to type as INTP if that's the type which fits best your character (as I said, on the internet, nobody knows anyone so should never presume anything about who that person really is)...
