I'm beginning to understand why INFJ is the rarest type, especially for males. It's not rare at all, there's just tons of them going around thinking they are INTP's, INFP's, or INTJ's because they'll never test right. Even knowing I am an INFJ, I took the test again and still scored INTP, even...

My problem with C++ was interfacing with windows API. Back in the dinosaur days of it, the .NET framework didn't exist, so it was pretty much impossible for me because Microsoft had designed everything to be so arcane it was impossible to understand. I stuck with OpenGL programming and that...

But if anyone wants to give me job interview tips, go ahead, I'm still job hunting and I may get an interview one of these days.

Job interviewing tips, anyone? I have this resume posted online and this company has called and left me a voice mail twice saying they want an interview. :smoker: That's a good sign, no? I'll be calling them back tomorrow to hopefully setup an interview. I'm very excited because I currently...

When I was 14 I began learning different languages. I've extensively used... C/C++ Java Perl PHP NWScript (for Neverwinter Nights games) As for OOP, I learned C++ but didn't grasp OOP until I was forced to learn Java in college. That will teach you OOP like nothing else. Then when you go...

Hi Indy, now I get to see your posts in two places. Good thing you're using the same picture, otherwise, it'd be difficult keeping it straight. PS - Try out the arcade if you get bored. There are surprisingly a lot of games on there.

The problem with INTPC is the white background, it degrades the quality of posting there. INTP's are such recluses that anything too bright makes them lose focus.

It sounds like you are either ISTP or INFJ, because you probably have Ni. Noticing what other people are wearing is just a clue that would lead me to think you are ISTP. You could easily be a T type; but like me, I have a strong Ti and may be an INFJ. You sound a shade off from the INFJ's on...

Welcome new person.

You should figure out if you are introverted or not. Then you should figure out if you use Ni or Ne. Ranking functions in order of how strongly you use them is a bad way to go. That's how MBTI works, but everyone uses their functions at different levels. It's more about which you are using...

I would recommend MBTI to a friend, if they bothered to understand it entirely, instead of focusing on their own type. Figuring out your own type is a waste of time, because it doesn't actually benefit you much other than allowing you to 'belong'. If you learn enough to type other people in...

Only on a true INTX forum would all these questions be answered to such a degree of accuracy.

Nah, typing people is still useful, Kaze. If someone typed me as an INTP and tried to use it to predict my future behavior, it would likely be more accurate than typing me as an INFJ. So the over-generalized labels work, I think... that is until someone defies that label by utilizing a...

I'm starting to think everyone should give up trying to figure out their own type; it's about the most difficult endeavor there is because we have too much relevant information about ourselves which could support many different claims.

Well yeah, see you're very similar to me from the sounds of it all. Until reading that post by Adymus two days ago, I still thought of myself as an INTP. If an INFJ cuts off their Fe and uses their lower functions instead, they essentially become an INTP-like personality while still actually...

Here's the post about how INFJ's appear to be INTP's and other personalities. http://intpforum.com/showthread.php?t=7016 Ska - If I am an INFJ, then I am very monotone. This is unless you get me drunk and happy in which case Fe comes out to play. I also used Fe in my closest relationship...

From what you've posted in your original post, you sound exactly like me to the point it was scary. Adymus has me typed as an INFJ. I'm coming around to the idea, but who knows. I'd never ever test as one. Which just means the theory it's based upon may be flawed, and therefore why bother...

I started a home based computer repair business this May. It's neither a success nor a failure. I get maybe 1 call a week. It's not enough to live on, but my overhead is so low that it's not unwelcome either. Advertising is very difficult. I went door to door with a card and a coupon, and...

Alright, I'll agree I am an INFJ then. I still belong on this forum, though. I checked out the INFJ forum and yeah, they're not my crowd because they did not develop Ti. What makes me think you may be right is that I can do a lot of those variant personalities you describe in the INFJ. It...

If you explain INFJ like that, I would agree that I may be one. The problem with explaining INFJ like that is that you are the only source which describes it as such. This makes it difficult to validate, other than using personal experiences.

I just don't like that style at all from the whole period. It's a subjective thing, but it sounds bad to my brain.

I totally agree about Mozart being overrated. Personally, I love Baroque music and despise the following period of Classical music. Often both periods are referred to as "Classical" when in actuality they're totally different. For some reason whenever I listen to the local classical station...

I'm fairly protective towards animals when it comes to extreme stuff. But then I also eat all my food without an delusions as to the conditions it existed under before slaughter.

Yeah, I was thinking more along the lines of introverted feeler using Fi. Fi types aren't emotionally expressive normally; they just leave their emotions to well-up on the inside.

Black Cat is an anime for those that don't know. I've only seen about half of the episodes and they quit making it so I gave up on it. I liked it though. Anyway, what type?

Do what Vreck said, that's the only way I find passion for anything I love, ignore it for 6 months and do other stuff.

Personally I dislike ISTJ's. I liked the one INFP I met. I also liked an ENTP I met. He was a total faker, but as long as I could see through that and ignore it, it didn't bother me.

Most of the INTJ's that I've ever heard of or met are terrible leaders. Their leadership style only fits in with organized military. They can be exceptionally effective under the right conditions, but in most organizations, emotions and politics play into how decisions are crafted. Most...

I do prefer introverts over extroverts. An extrovert minority would be enjoyable.

I'm 5w6 and the 5w4's seem less structured in their lives. But I'm also sx/sp, so that changes it too. I've heard it described as the 5w6 INTP prefers logic and hard science while the 5w4 INTP prefers art, individualism, and creative expression. Enneagram boils down to something different...

Next year in July. I don't know how we know, we just know we're meant for each other.

It's going good. Going to get married next year.

25% Female Brain Apparently, I'm right brained now according to all this though I always assumed myself to be more left brain. Part 1 Angles: Your score: 16 out of 20 "You found this test neither hard nor easy. This suggests your brain has male and female traits when it comes to...

If it had been this way since the beginning or at least for ages, then I don't think we'd be nearly as far as we are. We might not be totally killed off as some suggest, but we'd be in a far worse state. INTP's are not doers, doers accomplish 95% of what makes society tick. INTP's are just...

Toad!!!!!

Your last letter is P... so IN?P. You're probably an INTP. You sound a lot like me, these two paragraphs describe me exactly. There's different sorts of INTP's, not all of us are hung-up on geeky interests all our lives. If you have occasional intense fascination with learning the...

Yeah, differentiating Ni and Ne is important. Ni is having a worldview that cannot be completely described in words, or if it could, it would fill a novel. It's bits and pieces of facts, which all fit together to reinforce this larger picture. As you grow, it's constantly refined and honed...

Welcome, hope you like it here.

INTP's are so easy-going and non-judgmental we can get along with most genuine people. Personally, I clash with the ISTJ and ESTJ. But, I'm going to marry an ISFJ next year. INFPs, INTPs, ENTPs, ENTJs and INTJs are who we find most intriguing though.

I understand about the difficulties with school, I have had my share. I'm assuming you're a smart INTP like most of us here. This means school will be difficult for all the wrong reasons. Most people find it difficult because of the content they have to learn, nope, it's difficult for us...

The title says it all about the book. It was written in the first half of the 1900's. I have several assignments regarding this book in my 400 level college class. As I read every chapter, I realize more and more my intentional shortcomings in life. Intentional because, all of the things the...

Wont be long now and the snow will be gone. :D

From my experience being very INTJ when I was young... No, you likely would not get along with other INTJ's. The INTJ forum exists so that INTJ's can belong to something and revel in their own shared ego of superiority. At least that's my understanding of what goes on there. INTJ's are very...

I would agree from personal experience that the INTJ aligns with 5w6 better than 5w4. But the Enneagram speaks to motivation, where MBIT explains what functions a person uses. Ultimately, they're describing completely different aspects of yourself; there's just a moderate correlation between...

1) Study the concept 2) Practice it once or twice 3) Move on before you get bored You'll forget it easily this way, but you'll learn it. Only math you regularly use will you end up remembering in the long-run. It all depends on what kind of job you are aiming for.

When I have a conversation with my INFP friend, it's a conversation that beats all others. There's just an immediate connection there that I don't feel when I talk with other people. That connection could exist among INTX types, but the connection is likely to only be topic oriented and...

Good, when did you get back, Toad? :D

Accounting? It's what I am in, and it involves talking with people. But not a LOT of people, mainly coworkers which are generally more pleasant to deal with than customers. There's also a lot of busy work you do alone and in silence, but that work is supposedly monotonous and repetitive for...

So how did my bud Toad get banned? I'm not really upset or surprised, just curious.
