Hey guys. Recently, I've been attempting to discover my personality and have had a difficult time doing so. My entire life I've been told I "over-think" issues which, to a degree causes me to speculate I might be an INTJ. I've always been dubbed a "thinker." I have no difficulty understanding abstract concepts, nor have I had much difficulty formulating them. On the same token, I'm also very concrete. It's almost as if I understand and think on both equally.
One thing that stood out to me about INTJ's, "It is not easy for the INTJ to express their internal images, insights, and abstractions. The internal form of the INTJ's thoughts and concepts is highly individualized, and is not readily translatable into a form that others will understand." Which sounds exactly like me, but so does the portion of an INFJ which states, "INFJs have uncanny insight into people and situations. They get "feelings" about things and intuitively understand them...They are deep, complex individuals, who are quite private and typically difficult to understand...They know things intuitively, without being able to pinpoint why, and without detailed knowledge of the subject at hand. They are usually right, and they usually know it."
Aside from that, ISTP also sounds a lot like me, being natural at sports and good at thinking, "on the fly." Yet, I'm not too interested in mechanics as they are said to be(depending on the apparatus). I am however, definitely a hands-on learner. I'm a thrill-seeker as well, but I'm smart about it(I won't drive down a public road at night, going 100 mph. given a car could pull out or a raccoon might wander into the road etc.). I'm not sure what I'd be.
And the random intuitive quality from the INFJ is interesting. I have the spontaneity, athleticism, concrete, thrill-seeking, lawlessness, quick-thinking, cool-head of the ISTP, yet I have the wisdom, abstract, strategic, leadership, individualism, ambition and intellect of the INTJ. I'm also very reserved and do most of my thinking alone. It just seems like the ISTP is more simple-minded based on their description. Edit:Just to add, I'm also VERY logical, but I seem to have a slight balance of intuition. I'm fairly good at determining people's emotional state, but I'm not so good with sarcasm(some people just seem serious and I can tell it doesn't seem right, yet I wonder at times.). I typically don't have a lot to say and do more listening than talking. People seem to trust me a lot and often entrust me with personal information, even if they hadn't known me for awhile. I'm more prone to show anger, than any other emotion. For any other information feel free to ask.
Please help, it would be greatly appreciated!
