Didyouknow finally introduces herself, as opposed to obnoxious infiltration!

[didyouknow]

Hello all. I have finally decided to introduce myself.

My name is Sarah, I'm 16 years old and an INTP.

For a long time I thought something was wrong with me. I wondered why I couldn't seem to feel all affectionate towards "cute" things like babies and kittens and why I just didn't seem to have any motivation. Was I a lazy good-for-nothing that everyone always said I was?

One day while re-reading my psychology notes I remembered Mr.Webb talking about the Myers-Briggs test. I was curious, so I looked it up on google. Interested, I did the test and found that INTP matched me perfectly. There was a link at the bottom of the page to this site and so I looked it up.

Immediately I felt like I had finally come home. This site helped me to learn more about myself and why I am the way I am.

I hope to learn from all the more "experienced" INTPs about surviving as an INTP in the world (and get picked on by No1D10ts of course).

Lor finally says hello to didyouknow, after having hugged her. If that didn't scare you away then I guess you're ready for the good Dr. Noddy's sage advice and attention.

If you're not ill now you soon will be.

Thank goodness you found Myers Briggs at the age of 16. :-)

Maybe make a notation to yourself that INTP doesn't mean you never have emotions. It just means that when you do have them you probably won't handle them as well as things you can think about. They'll consume a disproportionate amount of your time -- except that now that you know you're INTP and can explore yourself with that as a general roadmap, maybe the emotions won't be quite so much trouble.

There's one other little insight that might be useful right now: INTPs do, indeed, tend to form few but strong relationships. HOWEVER, this does not necessarily mean the person with whom you form a bond does the same thing. They may form many weak friendships. You can think about that and see how just knowing it can head off a lot of pain. :-)

Good luck. You're coming of age in a fascinating time.

Welcome didyouknow, It appears you have met the usual cast of characters here so I don't need to warn you about any of them. Have fun on the forum!

Yes, I'm very glad I discovered the MBTI at 16 too. Welcome again!

Wait, you're Sarah too? Are you sure you aren't a part of me that likes to pretend she's a separate being from the rest of me?

Just kidding, and welcome.

Welcome to the forum. My sister's name is Sarah..She's a pretty damn smart, but insane ENTJ. I don't think I really knew what MBTI was until 18...but the sooner the better! It's almost like realizing you've broken out of the Matrix.. intpforum.com is Zion!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

@Ermine: yes, yes now let me slowly take over your mind...

 

[Ermine]

No, I believe you are mistaken. I'm taking over your mind.
