Hello
I'm sure you all are very tired of the many posts involving confusion of people and their personality. I know that it is difficult to guess type based upon a few lines of text, but I hope someone will give it a shot.
Why I'm confused:
I have read many posts by INTPs on this forum, and I just don't relate to them. This could root from the fact that I am still an adolescent and lack experience, but it seems that I may not be INTP. For a long time, i have gained a feeling of comfort from the fact that I am not alone.
I have looked at many different types similar to INTP, but it seems that I relate to all of them in lots of ways. ISTP, INFP, and INTJ! Each one has individual traits which I seem to relate to evenly.
It is possible that I cannot reliably take a test due to bias.
I have also looked at the cognitive functions, which provided no solutions to my issue, once again, I related to all of them. (It would serve well to mention here that I only related to a few of them, but in no particular order.) Many of you believe that cognitive function is the answer to everything whereas I do not.
I believe myself to be IXTX.
Maybe it is because I don't really understand intuition or sensing, or percieving and judging.
One thing that really confused me is the description of INTPs in school, or as children. I know that everyone has a different childhood that may or may not even have correlation with personality type, but it might give me some insight into my personality.
Since kindergarten, I have been a fairly good student. I wasn't all that "eccentric". It did seem at times that I had my head in the clouds a lot, but I don't remember it all that well. I was in a small catholic school where I basically could only have a few friends. I got mainly As and Bs.
When I got into eight grade, we moved to a small town where I went to, ironically, a bigger school. This is where I started to realize I was an introvert, I was weird, nerdy, and at the bottom of the food chain. All of the kids were simply idiots.
I was a hypocrite, and I knew it.
So I began to try in school, developing a passion for surpassing my classmates (especially the arrogant ones). Wait, aren't INTPs usually against the idea of actually trying in school? Soon, I realized that I had ability in math. I'm good at something?
So I ended up having my group of friends and my all A grades by the end of eight grade. Over the course of a year, I had developed exponentially.
At the beginning of ninth grade, I learned about personality type. At first, I tested as INFJ, then as INTP, INTJ, and INTP again. Even since the beginning of the year, I have developed a lot.
I often find myself walking around thinking,was that an INTP thing to do? Oh no maybe I'm not INTP, I should make more of an effort to do (insert random action here) differently next time.
I feel torn between two personalities, the one around my friends, the one around my other friends, and me alone in classes without friends. It's involuntary, and if my friends saw me for who I am (or think I am) they would not recognize me.
Sorry for the long post, but I am having an identity crisis.
Thank you
