Ok, so, I suppose the question I now have, and can't seem to figure out is, can I be an introvert with an extroverted personality type? Or am I missing something here? Reading through things about Extroverts that Jung said, I found things only to be true sometimes, contextually, or a little...

This. I also occasionally nudge the facts in my favor when I am talking to people who don't bother to fact check. If there is a basis in truth, I can claim ignorance and say I was mistaken if caught. Same thing with omission. I get pegged as an airhead when I get caught repeatedly doing this...

Honestly, what helped me was just talking about it to anyone who is open to it. A therapist was a good start, because you are PAYING them, so not only are they usually good listeners, I wanted to get my money's worth so I actually opened up and talked instead of clamming up. They only work if...

I am picking around http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/Jung/types.htm This is interesting, as I am seeing it on display in both my own interpretations of myself and others interpretations of me (emphasis mine...damn, should have bolded the entire effin paragraph.): "Hence its value is also merely...

Aw, fuck it. I began to go into another long-winded tirade to explain this, and realized it won't get me anywhere. I tire myself of that shit very quickly anyways. I explained the individual functions I feel connected to already, and they showed up in more or less proper order on a test. I...

I chose 90% of the descriptions on the site I took them from for INTP. Each one struck a very strong chord with me. I admit, I cherry picked INFP descriptions, because a select few struck very strong for me. Key here is struck strongly with me. Very little of ENTP struck strongly with me, and...

When you have overthought a situation so much, you have convinced yourself an opposing argument is true. Then, instead of being satisfied, you overthink the thoroughly chewed morsel again, doing hours of research, until you reach a conclusion completely different than any original postulations...

I have been unusually talkative, and my blog this month has been the most active it probably ever has. You don't need to read it to see what I am talking about, just scroll to the bottom. The very bottom post on the front page is just a recipe, one I hit 'post' for in April, but looking at, I...

This one: "Due to observing with clarity the frequent atrocious acts of mankind?" Also, my mommy told me I am speshul. :p I think I have also just always had this feeling like I owe the world something. Privileged middle class white American guilt complex, perhaps? Oh, and I am fucking sick...

Oh yes, I got distracted quite often. Lots of research I had done before I needed to pull up, as well as just general things I look up (am I using the correct form of this idiom? Does this analogy make sense? I spel bad... etc.) I tangented, and still managed to hit the post button. I call it a...

Ya, I get black and white when I am being dramatic. I was being silly and serious at the same time. My innermost fears lie in plan B, and my ideal state lies in plan A. i don't *expect* either to come true so black or white, but my inner pessimist (it is quite loud), insists that Plan B could...

Awww thanks. :) I used the personality types as a springboard for conversation. A way to talk to people that seemed to be like minded. Remember, I mentioned I lurked and read before I posted. I also mentioned how I calculate this stuff to make sure I can lubricate (MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER) my...

Plan A involves me doing lots of awesome stuff and making awesome stuff and being happy I could share my knowledge and awesomeness with others. Then, when I am done, I have enough money to have some PEACE AND FUCKING QUIET in my house in the middle of nowhere. Plan B involves scraping by...

I first took those personality tests a while back, and introverted types were what I always got. Deep down, I do just want to hide in my shell, it is that part of me that I struggle with, wondering if my extroverted nature is learned or who I am, and if my introverted nature is survival or who I...

I ramble. It is something I do. Makes my brain feel better. Play make believe and tell me you read it all? kthx.

As a creative person myself, I personally do find the 'art' in heavy handed messages, but also in subtle messages and hidden languages. Think about talking to just a few people through your work. You have to go in knowing most people won't 'get' it. Good art is when you can make something that...

At the moment, wondering how so many small pieces of myself seemed to have detached from me without my notice, became self aware, and started posting in this thread... MY PEOPLE.

...I am all four, depending on the test, and where I am when I take it. Some more in depth percentages reveal that Fi and Ti are basically interchangeable, Ne pops up very strong depending on the test. Sensing is always my weakest point. I am too caught up in lala land to notice a...
