I'm an INFP, but the line between Feeling and Thinking seems to be rather thin for me. 56% Feelings vs. 44% Thinking. I think this would explain why I don't seem as spiritual or overly emotional as some of my INFP peers... i.e. I will not cry in front of people if I can help it. Mostly, I believe this high scoring Thinking comes from all my barriers I have between me, people, and my emotions. Most of the time I never understand what I'm feeling, but if I'm feeling neutral it tends to annoy me. I want to feel SOMETHING intense; sadness, happiness, anger...
The thing that makes me certain I'm not an INTP is I'm not as cut off from emotions. When I'm tired I'm a whole lot more moody. When I'm in an argument I'm guaranteed to break down into hysterical sobs if it's with a family member, because the emotions just become too overwhelming. I could be described as melodramatic when upset. Not to mention my mood always, ALWAYS, effects my writing. It's not like I can simply ignore my emotions like Thinkers seem to do. They play too big a role in everything I do. I just refuse to show them when I can help it, and hence at least attempt not to show a strong emotion to everyone else.
I did read somewhere that ENTP's tend to figure people out
Seeing as they're just the Extroverted counterparts of INTP's, I assumed that the same might go for them. Funnily enough, I sort of do the same as these ENTP's... only to a lesser extent, on a lesser scale (namely those closer to me). I also am not enthused or doggedly pursue someone I cannot figure out. They just frustrate me and, while I don't give up (in all honesty it's almost like I physically CAN'T), I am very much tempted to just turn away.
Figuring people out is just my way of knowing how to react around them, and (most importantly) whether or not I trust them. Of course, I don't trust anyone, beause I end up finding little things that irk me. Plus I'm just private. :tongue:
Sorry for the rambling. Anyone else with rather abnormally high scoring T? I'm not sure if some of this is true for the high-scoring Feelers or not but... it just seemed to make sense to me when I started to think about it. I don't know. Thoughts? Feelings?
...See what I did there?
