Yo. My name is Anne and I've been into MBTI for about 2 years. When I first took the test - which was online - I got INFJ. I was never quite satisfied with the description, but I guessed it was accurate enough. The thing that always baffled me about it, mainly, was the idea that since I was an "F", that meant I made decisions based on feeling. Well, no, I don't. In fact, I struggle to believe most people are illogical enough to knowingly make decisions based on feeling. Anyone who studied logic, even remotely, would know that's absurd.
So recently I took the "official Keirsey Bates personality test at 70 questions long" on OKCupid (is anything really "official" on OKCupid?) and got "INTJ". (You scored 27% I to E, 32% N to S, 67% F to T, and 16% J to P!) The thing I struggle with about the idea of me being an INTJ is that they are notorious, personality-wise, for being stoic, unfeeling, and difficult to read. This...is my polar opposite. I am FIERCELY passionate, intense, and expressive. What the heck, MBTI?
So I'm torn. I'm nearly 100% positive I'm an I because, although I've learned to be more extraverted over the years, ever since I was young, it was still my natural proclivity to simply stand by and observe rather than leap in head-over-heels interpersonally. I'm certain I'm a N because I'm a hugely abstract thinker and am stark raving mad about philosophy. Yes, STARK RAVING MAD, caps and all. I also know I'm a J because, although over time I've learned to be less structured, my natural proclivity was to always schedule, decide, & organize - even just for fun. But I'm naturally open to opposing ideas since I'm making a thread like this to begin with. The F and the T is what I'm ambivalent about, for the most part.
Other personality traits:
Extremely independant
Rebellious
Intellectual
Great written and verbal skills (expressive writing style, loves symbolism & metaphors)
Argumentative (because I'm so skeptical - it's a parrhesia/dialogical thing)
Distant (I don't trust people and I think it's smart that I don't, I'm not open to changing, go away)
Blunt and straightforward
Compassionate
Extremely curious
Analytical
Extreme worrier and neurotic (I'm nervous about 95% of the time)
Good conversationalist
Sensitive
Strong sense of integrity
My main interests are philosophy, psychology (going to be a counselor, mainly because it's something I'm passionate about and also something I know I'll be good at), art, and writing.
Guess that'll do it. TYPE ME.
