So, after meandering through way to many different types over time, I think I'm an ISTP. FANTASTIC INDEED.
Thought I was an N for ever and ever because my parents (especially the ISFJ mother) were so convinced I was and I'm a lot like my INTJ father - I realise though that this is more T-based solidaritiy against an onslaught of female F-emotional-ness. When I read this I say yes to all of it except "They're usually good athletes, and have very good hand-eye coordination. They are good at following through with a project, and tying up loose ends" because I'm spastic and easily distracted.
Only thing that makes me go HANG ON is the bit about living totally in the present, because I don't. I see the future and like to have an idea of what I'm going to be doing for the next few years, though I'll adapt it as I go along if that makes sense. Also I was a massively daydreamy child, permantently zoned out, which I had preseumed was a very N thing to do. Also I tend to miss details, probably because I'm trying to take it all in so quickly.
Obviously I have been SURPRESSED by societal expecatations of my gender and 12 years at an All Girls Convent School (yes, that bad) but I can see bits of mechanic-ness coming out. I was obsessed with Knex and Meccano as a child and as an adult am good with computers without trying. I also like talking about cars though I don't know enough IMO. I'm really good at sewing and making/fixing things that way.
Also the stuff about ISTPs, sex and relationships is frighteningly accurate. Get the fuck out my bed! :tongue:
If you can overcome your apathy I'd love some responses.
