So I've been having a little trouble finding my "correct" personality type.
A year or so ago, I would consistently score INFP. Now I keep scoring ISTP, and unless I'm mistaken, these are two wildly different types. I'm pretty confident that I'm introverted and perceiving because I'm quiet and "flexible", it's just the sensing and thinking that bother me.
I'm not entirely sure what the sensing or intuition do. On the official PerC quiz, I got an exact 50/50 split on the N and S. I took it a second time and got the same result. I like to wing things and I rarely plan ahead. It's common for people to comment on my lack of common sense and I daydream a lot.
The F and T are also a problem. Is impulsiveness an F trait? What does it mean if I recognize that I'm acting irrationally, but can't do anything about it? I consider the logical and objective approach to be the best, but it's never that easy. I don't like to show affection, but I also don't like to criticize people. I'm pretty sensitive to criticism; I think I'm just insecure. I'm rarely hostile; I've never been in a fight.
I like to learn about how things work. Right now I'm trying to figure out how my personality works. I like to take things apart, and sometimes put them back together. I like to program. I've read that these are very ISTP-like traits.
Aside from my daily walk, I spend almost all of my time in front of a computer. I don't like to watch sports, and I have never tried to play one. I don't ride a motorcycle, and I don't like to parachute off skyscrapers. I don't hunt because I don't like to kill things. I am definitely not the bad-ass ISTP's are said to be.
Well, that's sort of a mouthful. I don't normally write this awkwardly but whatever. So do you guys think I'm an ISTP after all? I don't know, I've thought about this for too long. Maybe you guys can help.
