Out of the closet

[sworm09]

Hey, I'm new here! I thought that I was an INFP or INFJ for a while...until I came to the stunning realization that I don't have many strong internal values and I'm very rarely willing to stand up for, or even support "the group". Thinking back to my childhood...it's pretty obvious that I'm an INTP. I was generally a loner and I would obsessively read encyclopedias, researching single topics to exhaustion before trying to use what I learned to do stuff. I spent weeks studying bird flight so that I could find some way to fly. I was like five at the time. For some reason I looked at that and said "Yup, INFJ!" I guess I've come to my senses. Glad to be "out of the closet" .

to ponder = INTP
to DO might be more ISTP.

Welcome.

Welcome.

It's possible, but that was just one incident. I'm too "in my head" and oblivious to the present moment to have Se as an auxillary. It's important to note that I'm borderline ENTP, my Ne is used sometimes more than my Ti....so sometimes I'm just chasing possibilities. My function stack is odd.

Ne
Ti
Si
Fe

According to cognitive function tests, my Fe is far from inferior. I use it more than average (considering how other people think or feel about something), but not more than my Si which I use fairly consistently (remembering what worked for me in the past). Plus my Ne will overtake my Ti in certain circumstances, making me want to USE my ideas.
