Why do you think you are an INFP? Why do you think you are not an INTP?
Well. Since being self-typed as an INTP, I have never been entirely sure. As much as I enjoyed all the topics in this forum, I have often found myself not being able to actively participate as a poster but rather as a lurker. >.< Simply, I find that my lack of knowledge in most prominent fields/topics as a weak point to support my case as being an INTP. (Stereotyping? >.<)
Hm. Many other members from MBTI forums I have joined have labeled me as an INFP. I do see the the dominant and auxiliary functions of the INFP showing up when I was little and now, to a less of an extent, into my teenage years.
Whether or not these traits belong to the INFP or INTP or any other type, here are some notable ones:
- When it comes to decisions, would trust the rationalizing the options rather than what I would feel to be "right" or "wrong". (I am still not entirely sure
which one feels more comfortable to me. >.<)
- A surprisingly poor memory for facts
- When I was little, I would enjoy locking myself up in a room to lay down on the floor and imagine scenarios and schtuff. >.<
- Feels somewhat of a need to break the ice when it comes to conversations with strangers just to make them feel comfortable.
- Has a surprising ability to turn on social skills and acceptable behaviour when needed. Almost a few minutes after the event, would completely turn it off and sink back into my comfortable bubble. (It took me years to perfect this one.)
- At school, has been stereotyped as unapproachable and apathetic. (I'd say the latter is more prominent.)
- Horrid at verbalizing more complex ideas that I fully understand, especially in an intimidating atmosphere. Writing is more natural to me.
Err. So. Yeah. >.<
