To solemnize my achievement to gain suggestions for every N-type I thought that I should set up a poll to see what other people think.
Don't be fooled what I said about my type before, feel free to vote whatever you feel is right.


Note that I probably won't care about the end result.

Avatar and how this topic is presented, would suggest INTJ.

INtJ, imo. The capitalization is intended. This is mostly from time in IRC.

I can relate too much to you to consider you a J. INTP is my guess.

Geez, you should type yourself, you lazy asshole. (taking my [censored] ideas)

You didn't even say anything about your habits for us to work on. Why can't you research this yourself?

Let's start with expressions. Extroverted or Introverted. Pretty easy. Do you enjoy the company of other people, many other people. You're energized by people or are you energized when you're alone or with few people?

Second expression: Judging or Perceiving. Are you organized, do you set schedules, do you adhere to order. Do you make conclusions in order to continue, if so you're J. If you are more spontaneous, maybe absent minded, "messy" and don't like to make conclusions you're a P type.

Now Functions:
First, Sensing or Intuitive. Do you have a good memory, do you have an eye for detail. Are you practical and sure footed. If so, you're a sensor. Are you imaginative, "head in the clouds", inspired by theory, maybe scatterbrained (even more so if you combo NP). It seems you already know this.

Second, Feeling or Thinking. Do you make decisions with moral basis in mind, do you care about how others will be affected. Do you have few close friends who you rely on? Do you have a good sense of humour, do you you understand metaphors and sarcasm. If so you're likely a feeling type. Are you objective, do you make decisions based on the outcome for the greater good (if you're moral) or the outcome for yourself (or amusement)? Do you have difficulty socializing and understand hints? Do you tend to take things literally? If so you're a thinking type.

INTJs have a different function order. Feeling is the third function. Meaning they're more prone to be concerned about social norms and more concerned about relationships. Their J expression give them some practicality even though sensing is their fourth function. INTPs are likely to deal with Feeling the least and they're likely to let emotions kind of creep up on them. INTPs third function is sensing and their last is Feeling. Feeling in INTPs is said to be kind of sudden and skitzo. The third function tends to make up for the dominant weakness, being NP. The sensing function makes up for what would be a very scatterbrained, out of context mind set.

The INFP has the third sensing function in common with INTPs. But their last function is opposite to the INTPs. The INFP is likely to be romantic, but not entirely misplaced from reality or physical medium, because of that third function. This makes them the "artist", as opposed to their organization opposite the INFJ- who is like the super councillor. INFJs have Thinking as their third function. I've met some INFJs that appear almost cold, because they're so aware of timeliness. They're usually very caring and sensitive. I had a teacher who was an INFJ and she seemed well adjusted on an emotional and objective level. I had an advisor who was younger and also an INFJ who took offence to the fact that I disliked a place she really liked.

The extroverted types are going to have their primary functions extroverted. An ENTP is going to extrovert Thinking, while an INTP is going to introvert thinking and extrovert Intuition. So as a conversational equal ENTJs and INTPs are supposedly good together. ENTJs extrovert their dominant intuition, meaning when INTPs and ENTJs talk they talk from the same basis that's more on theory and developing ideas.

With an INTJ it's more like an INTP can bounce ideas off of them and INTJs tend to have more connected feelings (because of that F over S) with INTPs.

You can pretty much write any type into a google search and get more than enough information to figure it out on your own.

It's strange, I think INTPs are prone to doubt their type.

I types are likely to feel more insecure or out of place in an extroverted society. N types are reflective and creative. T types are thinkers and that enhances that reflective quality. However, T types demand a level of objectivity. If that demand is high there'll be more doubt. Combined with P, it would almost be odd if INTPs never second guessed themselves.

I was surprised to find an INFP friend of mine was very possitive of being an INFP. I have no idea how someone could be so sure about it... I don't think all INFPs are sure about it, but that friend definitely was. She explained it as "you just know" and I don't know what the hell that's suppose to mean. I would assume an ISTP could easily make an objective descision. An S type wouldn't dwell on it or reflect as much, since it's impractical to do so.

As for me, even though I'm quite aware that I'm an INTP (sometimes to my own disappointment), I often question it and reflect on it.

The first series of MBTI tests I took online typed me as INTJ, INFP and INTP, but didn't seem particularly consistent. (So I researched Jung typology) It was a faulty test. As are most online test. Though my facebook one came out INTP, but I understand the MBTI indepth, so I could get any result I desired. I suppose that could be said for the official assessment as well, but that came out more accurate to me than a basic INTP file. In assessment which functions were observed my T has been higher than everything else, sometimes double my second function. I think that's a little ridiculous and those assessments are a bit... exaggerated.

My question to the lot of you is if you're saying other 'types' because "they aren't INTP" or are you actually taking those types into consideration?

http://www.infj.com/

Haha, they have their own HandBook. They're so J. I wish INTPs had a handbook, god, what a headache that would be. Nevermind.

^^ wha? there is absolutely nothing on that site about INFJ - it's just a (rather poor) advert for her services as a personality coach.

I have had chats and interactions with Anthile which lead me to think he's INFJ - I think the FJ combination leads to a more logical F which is quite like the T in people whose T is focused on understanding relationships and people. INFJs are more gentle than INTPs and INTJ - when have you ever seen Anthile show a harsh side? And that means not only towards others, but also towards himself. Some of us here are more savage on ourselves than on other people, but that savagery is still there.

Anthile is quietly thoughtful about people and the forum - that is classic INFJ behaviour - they are not expressive feelers, they are brilliant at thinking about people's feelings and relationships in a more detached manner which is what often makes them excellent people managers.

Also his room is quite tidy and minimalist. (see my evidence of INTP thread)

So, no, it's not just because it's not INTP.

I also think that Anthile is an INFJ.

I don't really see him as an INFP,because he is much more Fe oriented than Fi.

Oh I question myself no end, but it's not I or E, N or S, T or F. It's more like, am I schizoid or just socially anxious, depressive or just dark, bipolar or just moody.... you know.

Alright, currently Adymus claims that I am INTP while Fukyo and Spiral are quite sure I am INFJ. It never ends...
:confused:
