I've been looking at my personality types in depth recently and have noticed that I seem to be INTP and ESTP stuck in a blender.
I find my self to be balanced EXACTLY in the middle of Extroversion and Introversion. I like being alone after I have just been around lots of people (like at school or a party) but after I have been alone for too long I begin LONGING for people to talk to, laugh with, and I like it when they are there. Although one thing that does stand out is that I like the power CHOOSE when I want to be alone and when to be around people.

I also am very much both N and S. I am VERY theoretical and intuitive. I am often able to determine a persons feelings without being overcome with them myself. I then determine whether or not I agree or disagree with the persons emotions and proceed to act in a respectfully soft, but straightforward, manner.
At the same time, I also respect statistics and facts. Often pulling myself back down to earth the the here and now in order to enable easy communication and I often admit that my theories are often irrational when compared to actual statistics.

However, I DO value my intuition slightly more than statistics and am especially upset whenever people use statistics to judge others. (I actually didn't like this test the first time I took it because it forced me to choose between INTP and ESTP)

I have also found myself looking up to the expressiveness of ESTP's and they often end up pulling me back to reality.

Could I have some insight on what types of relationships I should look for?
Also, does anyone else feel like they are stuck in a blender with another personality type?

It would help a bit if you could answer the 20-question form in one of the stickies and post your answers here.

However, as I read your post, you do not seem like a sensor. You didn't use a single example, but described your way of acting in very general terms. And to me, you seem like an Ti/Fe-user, but I'm not completely sure about this. I suppose you chose INTP as your type to start with for a reason? Again, please answer those 20 questions. It will help a lot.

I took the test but I personally found the possible answers to be a bit too vague (Edit: I mean restrictive) for me to trust completely. I don't really like the idea of being one or the other.
I have taken the test before
I ended up with exactly 50% on Intro/Extroversion though that was probably because I wanted to get that result.
I also got 60% N. As I stated before, mostly theoretical but with a respect for statistics and the effort put into them.
I am got almost completely TJ and I agree with that.

Another interesting fact is how I like to act in social situations. I like to ACT stupid or ACT like a douche-bag with coated with HEAVY amounts of sarcasm and exaggerated expression. I also sometimes begin to categorize people in my head and make assumptions about them based off of past experiences while, at the same time, reminding myself that I could be completely wrong.


Edit: When it comes to examples I tend to use them in debating in order to back up my claims. I just felt like this wasn't so important that I needed to type one up. It also kind of sucks because there is no forum for me. The extreme INTP's are too introverted and the extreme ESTP's are too crazy.

INTP + ESTP stuck in a blender = ENTP? :tongue:
