Hum, good question. I'm not sure if i could make an accurate judgement of myself. What do you mean by uptight ? I think of myself as intense at times, is this the same ? No? Yes? Does it mean snotty, smug ? Leme know and i will try and answer.On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the most uptight person you know and 0 being the least, how uptight/high strung would you describe yourself as being?
Hmm... I guess I was meaning to say Neurotic by uptight or high strung.Hum, good question. I'm not sure if i could make an accurate judgement of myself. What do you mean by uptight ?

O.k, i will try and give myself a judgement on this. I would say maybe 2/3 out to ten. I do feel anxious at times when under stress, when i feel this way i may jump to conclusions, or make assumptions about things they may or may-not be happening. I don't get stressed often , but when i do it can be bad. I get really tensed up, i don't feel myself.Hmm... I guess I was meaning to say Neurotic by uptight or high strung.
I've met some 7s who are what you would consider over the top. They're full of anxiety to do something spontaneous around others all the time. This may create variations within the E7 that make some 7s seem very different in how they handle their drive to enjoy their experience.O.k, i will try and give myself a judgement on this.

A little more tense than most you know without a large amount of provocation from your environment?Hmmmm 6 on good days, 10 on bad.
Ya, 6s share many of the same tendencies as a 1, but principles are deep in the thought process of 1s. I shared an analysis of test results in #7 of this thread.Let's see. I can be uptight, but have been working on it. Current level of uptightness for me: probably 6 or 7. I try not to let it get to 10.
Principles seems to lead to perfection. "Did I do it just right?" "Give it all you got" "Did you lack something?" "Where did things go wrong?" internal criticism creates self-doubt, IMO. Though we maybe certain of our opinion, there is always a very high expectation of getting things just right. What happens when things go wrong? We try to be blameless (as shown in Timeless article) and avoid being inconsiderate or part of the problem.@Wake
When you mention principles playing a role in a 1's uptightness, what do you mean by that? Like if you have to compromise your principles, or they're questioned, that makes you uptight (or as you said, neurotic)? Or do you mean something else entirely?
I talk about both in #7, maybe starting with 1s since this is the 1 forum but it is a comparison.I read the link, but only saw mention of type 1s in it. Nothing about type 6. And it would be interesting to see, because I used to think I was a 1 for the longest time. I think I was seeing an illusion of how secure I was in my ideas of "the right thing" and "the wrong thing." My motto for myself was, "Do the right thing above all else." When I reached a point where my beliefs came into question, that motto got harder and harder to follow- I didn't know what the "right" thing was anymore. And sometimes, I still don't.
So only when you're stressed you check back at social sites often? I'm awful about putting stuff out of my mind. If I get pressured for school I'd retire my account again temporarily. Something about my physical makeup doesn't allow me too stay on topic too long unless I'm pushing myself, a wondering mind.Since I'm rather distraught in such times I don't end up doing anything serious, something that would be truly productive, but I may start obsessively ordering something, searching for information I don't really need, and checking and re-checking forums and other social websites every 5 minutes.
I'll check social sites every day, but when I'm not stressed I can easily break it off and go do something else. When I am under a lot of stress I may become as if glued and can't easily let go or will come back after 10-15 minutes and check again. I know another person who types as 1w9 and whenever he is stressed over something he complains that he can't stop checking and rechecking his facebook account.So only when you're stressed you check back at social sites often?

This may be due to your MBTI type. According to socionics ISTJs have something called vortical-synergetic thinking style, where you have many disparate thoughts circling around like a whirlwind. It's random, chaotic thinking which doesn't want to follow any linear path. If you're under a lot of stress it may be just getting amplified and then you get like a mental adhd.Something about my physical makeup doesn't allow me too stay on topic too long unless I'm pushing myself, a wondering mind.
Yes, I feel uneasy if something is left unfinished or things aren't moving along. Being around my type 9 brother makes me feel like I'm even more uptight than I actually am. I don't understand how he can be so laid back lol.A little more tense than most you know without a large amount of provocation from your environment?
LOL at me as well because I am also a 1-6-4.lol @ me then, because my tritype is some combo of 1-6-4 (I'm core 6).
