Yeah, I have a Master's in CIS and I really had no problem getting my degree. I have read a few threads where there are other INFP programmers. Like I mentioned, it's all a motivation thing, maybe some odd IQ? There are so many IQ types, its hard to tell. Who knows, I haven't posted in INFP...

While it's no longer an INTP issue I figured some may still be curious of the resulting changes. Sorry about the wall of text but I tried to break it up as much as possible. Naturally, after I found out, the first thing I did was look up INXP. As Architect stated, due to our inferior...

I'm not out of the clear yet but hopefully switching positions will work out. The good news is that I have been falsifying type. I am now pretty convinced I am an INFP. It's odd how I can read the descriptions and memes and be like I am so an INTP. Once visiting the forums and reddit, it started...

Well, I went through with it. I think I sold it pretty well. At one point, the conversation did border on the fact that our group doesn't usually do things like this because were not IT. Not sure what the outcome will be but I hope it's better than how I currently feel.

Thanks, I have a one on one tomorrow so I may bring it up. I will have to try and sell it because I was definitely a better programmer. However, this would have been easier with my previous manager who transitioned into retirement a couple months after the "right-sizing". We actually...

Due to "right-sizing" a year back, I volunteered to take on some duties that, for most of my career, was hoping I would never get but with natural progression, a foregone conclusion. It is more project manager oriented but with developers in another department that I have no direct control...

Congrats! It's always nice to hear some good news.

Boring and mundane eh? That sounds like my usual 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I like the balance advice but less work and more living. What's stopping you from trying new things? I had to quit my expensive hobbies and somehow someone talked me into giving my wife some information on...

I am hoping to figure out if there is another underlying cause that may not be specific to personality type. I hate to use the term boredom but that is an easy way to describe something else I am struggling with. I haven't figured out how that explains the headaches though. I guess I was...

After further thought, I don't believe I was suppressed as a child by my family. I don't know their types but I know I identified better with my mother and she was introverted while my dad was extroverted. I know I struggled with accepting my relationship, then girlfriend, current wife and any...

It seems these terms have evolved, I was reading that bipolar is now the term for manic depressive. I was using cyclothymia since it is a lesser form of bipolar. I have also accomplished what I set out to do (live a normal life?) but came to the realization that while I am successful, I am not...

Not sure what is meant by self-pity. My goal is to learn from it and make changes accordingly. According to this article, ignoring the warning signs is a bad idea. A mood swing seems to be a general classification where the duration and/or emotional peaks and valleys will define the...

I want to say it's good news because I know more about it and can work towards a solution. The bad news is I can't quickly do anything about it and that it seems like a hopeless given for our personality types and more so if we overextend our Ne. In the summary below, while 1 & 2 seem obvious...

I'm a cat person and have seen most of the shows on the cat side, some in the middle and none on the dog side. I like cats because they are similar to me. They do their own thing and on occasion, want to be all cuddly or outright crazy. Dogs just annoy me because barking, following me...

I'm a computer programmer/analyst/database administrator/project manager/people manager all wrapped into one. I liked it for awhile since there were always new projects, changing software/hardware and new people moving in and out of the department/group. After 10 years though, it's all old...
