When I first joined this site, I introduced myself as an ISXJ. After considering some other types, including ISTP and INFJ, I've been wondering lately if I could've been right from the start. I just re-took the test and resulted with a strongly expressed Introversion, Sensing and Judging, with a slight Feeling preference. The reason I'm starting with ISFJ is because I know I have a much stronger Fe than Te.
Random things about myself to see if others here can relate:
Well, that's what I've got. Please comment and feel free to ask me questions!
Sorry for the huge block of text. I really appreciate any insight you may have on my type.
Random things about myself to see if others here can relate:
- I feel other people's emotions, much more than I feel my own. I'm usually out of touch with my own feelings (and don't express them) because I push them away or convince myself that my feelings aren't logical or can't be trusted. I've been known to explode when I am pushed too far, but in general I am very mild-mannered.
- In spite of the above, I am a very emotional person. I am easily touched and hold onto things that are special or important to me.
- My home is my safe haven. I like everything to be organized and kind in my home. I get stressed out if there's clutter, or people invading it.
- I don't focus much on the distant past, but that's possibly because it's a bit painful for me. I much prefer to live in the now, and am usually happy when I'm doing so.
- I don't easily trust other people. I get drained quickly from being around other people, except for my closest friends. I'm incredibly loyal to those who have earned my trust though. (It takes me a REALLY long time to warm up to others.)
- I love helping people. I always feel like I don't help enough. I feel terrible if I can't help out. I was sick last Thursday and had to miss work, and I beat myself up the rest of the night for not going anyway... It brightens my day when I can help people out though!
- I plan a lot for the future, but not plans that involve other people unless I really trust them. I believe most people aren't reliable.
- I was mostly raised by two Ne-users, so I don't believe I have as strong SJ values. I wanted to ask you guys in what way do you use your Si? I think I'm still learning about it, though I feel it makes up a core part of who I am. I seek stability above all else, and am fairly traditional.
- I'm extremely gullible. (I'm not looking forward to April Fool's day...)
Well, that's what I've got. Please comment and feel free to ask me questions!
