Alright guys, I am doubting my type once again. i do have a better grasp on cognitive functions and who each specifically does, so that helps me out a bit. The problem, is that as an INTP, with Ti as my lead function, should I not get energized by taking in information, studying it, and analyzing it? With a lead function, isn't utilizing it meant to energize you?
I have recently been trying to learn Python, as an example, and personally, I am hating it. I cannot get the IDE to work with 3.2.2 (please don't go nuts over why you believe 2.7 is better), and learning it is irritating. I enjoy having knowledge and using it, but I really, REALLY hate gaining the knowledge (at least forcibly...I do spend many hours randomly scouring the web).
Can you guys give me some specific examples of Ti, how it is explicitly used, and where I should get energized with it if I am truly INTP? In math, once I GET a concept to the point where I understand it and can play with it, toy with it, and tweak it, I like math..but the initial mode of figuring out what I am doing...it drives me nuts. Also, there is the entire problem of Ti's superfocus...there are very few things I can VERY contently focus on for a long period of time. Video games remains as one of the only ones. Not even computers (which I like), can I do for extended periods without getting bored of a specific subject whether it ranges from CCNA to Python, to C++.
I think I at least have Ne...but my Ne seems underdeveloped as it gives ideas, it is random and jumpy, but it is not overflowing, so I have ruled out ENTP (aside from my very obvious lack of extroversion). I cannot say I am INTJ because I do not possess Te...often times, I have a hard time explaining my thoughts to others, especially complex ones.
