Love your quote. This is my philosophy. Beyond Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, I believe everyone is a genius of something.

@Logic: As I said, I also have books, including Jung's "Psychological Types" and "Gifts Differing" and other books. It's been seven books total. I've taken the "actual" indicator two times. It's not just a few resources on the web, there are numerous threads about this, where numerous opinions...

I believe I watched one sporting event in the last two years. Prefer fantasy/sci fi Over what? I like various forms of literature and non-fiction. I used to read more sci-fi and books in general. I've read the Dune saga. I've read the Foundation Trilogy. OH wait...not this thread. Happy...

@Logic: I most definitely use both Fi and Ti. You can't really argue with it because you cannot see into my mind. I don't just believe what 95% of people believe because it is consensus. I observe it in myself. So, you are stating supposedly objective facts about something which is...

I was typing my post at the same time, apparently. It may sort of tangentially address some of these questions, though it was somewhat for Logic. Being an extreme "P", I'm not even sure I want to "decide", if that makes sense. According to what definitions I read, I believe I experience all...

Since this exchange I've been reading various websites and threads in addition to the seven books on type theory that I've owned. On a different forum, there was a thread with more than 60 posts, and almost 60 different opinions on the difference between Ti and Te. Also, there are numerous...

@logic, Thanks for a thoughtful and well worded reply. You are worthy of great respect. Even if you are wrong.:p Assuming you are not, how can you tell if Ti or Fi is active? This must be a reasonable subjective process (like a belief system) because there's no way to tell it from the outside...

Thanks. I tried to read some definitions of the functions, but I'm still not clear on what they are. However, I think I use both all the introverted functions. I also used Te at work to organize and plan a bunch of stuff. I'm not really clear on when each transitions between being an...

Okay, I did a little bit of reading on the functions. See if this sounds right: Ti --- In this I'm constantly thinking of how to improve fish. I'm think of genetics (selective breeding), patterns, databases of production. I want better morphology ratios, better color and patterns. Fi ----...

Maybe I'm confused about functions, but you didn't really answer the second round of examples I gave. For this item quoted above, I could say that naturally I'm not too inclined to be focused on the external. For example, I failed the driving portion of my driver's test four times. I drove...

Nonsense! You could be doing a math problem or thinking about something. At the same time you are aware of your feelings. People doing logical analysis can have a feeling. At least in my experience. The person in judgment makes an impersonal decision condemning a friend, but he could have...

This is silly! You can use both. It's like if I were to buy a computer, for example. Ti is ranking and organizing criteria versus price. Ah, this one has more memory! But this one has a larger hard drive. This is a less know brand name, so it's cheaper. Fluctuating between these data, Fi may...

Well, I guess I'm partially asexual, since my orientations are impractical. Let's say your only arousal occurred if you could have both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Angelina Jolie at the same time while snowboarding the Alps...on a $500 budget. I'm not say that's what my fixations ARE, but mine are...

Um. I tend to avoid conflict. I don't really want to say things that make people cry. However, why do I care about whether girls like or do not like a certain person? I think in high school I was too self-absorbed to get that involved with peoples' lives. I might start talking about something...

This "it" could apply to everything from Jesus to motor boats. You could say the same thing about anything you believe.
