Hiya! I just discovered your blog and was wondering if you could help try to type me (sorry this is pretty long)
1. Iā€™m currently pretty torn between the intuitive introverts. I was able to narrow it down to INTJ, INFJ or INTP. Iā€™m about 97.2% sure I use Ni. The only thing thatā€™s giving me a bit of doubt is I find myself occasionally learning for the sake of learning which Iā€™ve found is a traditionally Ne trait. Despite this Iā€™m still pretty sure I use Ni as when I go down a rabbit hole and start learning for the sake of learning its always about a topic that interests me or is entertaining. I wonā€™t waste my time learning about something I find mundane or drab. I resonate a lot with Niā€™s ā€œahaā€ moments where the correct answer simply pops into my head or a vision suddenly seems clear or a plot holes solution suddenly seems painstakingly obvious. I also resonate with starting out with a broader range of information/ possibilities and narrowing it down to one or two things. Another intuitive thing I highly relate to is living in the future. If almost never living in the present, and a constantly fixate on the future. I have a distinct, clear, and well thought out plan for the next 20 years (give or take).
Where I run into a bit of trouble is when I try to figure out which judging functions I predominantly use. It honestly feels like I use them all (though I know youā€™re only supposed to be able to use two well). For example I plan out everything, and set deadlines for myself. My desk often seems really messy to others especially when Iā€™m doing art. This isnā€™t because I donā€™t value cleanliness, but because it simply makes more sense to keep all my art supplies out rather than having to spend at least fifteen minutes taking them out and then putting them away only to take them right back out the next day. I set goals based off of easily measurable, external things such as time, or grades. I make daily to do lists that outline everything Iā€™ll need to do in the day, and some stuff to focus on if I have extra time. With my to do list I also plan out the approximate time each thing should take. When coming up with a scientific theory, I take others opinions/theories and test them against each other, and current scientific laws in order to formulate the most probable theory. External opinions (in a scientific/ logical manner) mean a lot to me (I donā€™t really care about how people that arenā€™t my friends think of me). To me these things seem very Te. But then Iā€™m always smiling and am a fairly warm person. I want my friends to be happy, and I want to help others. I despise emotionally driven conflict(though I love debates), and while Iā€™m not afraid to disrupt it if it threatens my morals/ is promoting something blatantly wrong (factually or morally) I do really harmony. These seem like pretty Fe things to me. As for Fi, I rarely share my negative emotions, preferring to deal with them predominantly alone. While I may not talk about them much I also have EXTREMELY strong morals. If something is crossing them Iā€™m not going to simply ignore it for the sake of harmony. While I tend to be private I do try to be as authentic as possible. My morals are derived by information Iā€™ve collected and decisions Iā€™ve made myself, rather than being derived by ā€˜the groupsā€™ collective morals if that makes sense. To me these things appear to be very Fi. As for Ti, sometimes I enjoy learning simply for the sake of learning. The knowledge may have no practical use to me but if I find it interesting or want to learn about it I can devote hours to it. I try and come to the most logical/accurate conclusion possible, and when Iā€™m offering advice I may offer additional advice that takes different variables into account. The truth is really important to me as well.
2. Reading. I absolutely ADORE reading(specifically fantasy/sci-fi/dystopian books or research/scientific articles about topics that interest me). For reference there was a period of time when I had some free time and I was reading 2 or 3 books a day? Read maybe 50 books in the span of 20 days? But yeah I absolutely love reading. Just he way the book sucks you in and deposits you and a completely new world full of wonder and disaster and ugh itā€™s just magnificent. And donā€™t even get me started on impeccable character development and eeee. The way rereading a book feels like youā€™re reconnecting with an old best friend or going back to your childhood home and *sobs*. I also LOVE trying to predict plot twists and character deaths. Most of the time I can predict things correctly and idk itā€™s really fun to just try and figure out whatā€™s going to happen before the big reveal. And the rush of satisfaction you get when youā€™ve guessed something right- it also helps me brace for character deaths (sorta. For example I knew *the* death in the final empire [by Brandon Sanderson] was coming since nearly the very beginning [I had my suspicions since the moment vin was introduced] but I still sobbed when the character died. [a tad off topic but what caused me to cry wasnā€™t the death itself but another characters reaction to it. This is often the case I find. A death of a character I love leaves me feeling empty but what typically gets me to cry is the others reactions- for thus reason funerals usually make me cry. I should also add that I only cry when Iā€™m alone. Iā€™ve cried around people (that arenā€™t my parents) a grand total of 1 time.]
Uh and daydreaming. Iā€™m almost always daydreaming. Ie. if my brain was a search engine or whatever one tab would be reality and I would consecutively have at lest 20 other tabs open. Some of then playing videos (daydreams) others supplying music(if Iā€™m not actively listening to real music my brain cycles through songs I have memorized. Occasionally does this with book scenes too if Iā€™m bored [yes, I memorize some of my favourite scenes, word for word, so I can play them like a movie in my head when I, bored) others containing random info (just me thinking random stuff) etc.
3. I guess how to solve some problems? Wether itā€™s a math or science problem, or an argument between friends, figuring out how to solve things has always been something Iā€™m decently good at. Math and science just. Make sense. And then with issues between people Iā€™m good at looking at different perspectives (even ones that I donā€™t agree with) and playing out different scenarios/ possible outcomes of different approaches. This lets me come up with a solution that will successfully solve the problem with the least amount of negative ramifications involved
4. Hmm maybe being present? I honestly feel like life is passing me by and Iā€™m just immobilized on the sidelines. Im so far into the future that I kinda forget to actually *live* every once in a while.
5. Honesty? Truth? Morals? These topics are all really interesting as they can be kinda subjective. The line between honesty and cruelty is so small. What is truth? Cause while yes, we have some set truths (such as the earth is orbiting the sun) so many ā€˜truthsā€™ are simply subjective and completely depend on ones perspective. And morals my goodness. The stormlight archive is a really fun series that plays around with things like what is justice? And honour? I wonā€™t get into it now but it brings up so many really interesting questions regarding morals.
6. Perspective . I think perspective is such a fascinating thing. Just. Different opinions. Seeing the world through completely different lenses. Interpreting the same thing in utterly different ways. When toying around with an idea I find it really fun to try and imagine opposing perspectives. While I can find different perspectives really interesting, they can also well... get on my nerves to say the least. Sometimes someone perspective is just? So blatantly wrong? And has absolutely no factual evidence backing it up? And part of me wants to just just scream and it would be so much easier if everyone just. Assessed the facts in front of them instead of making wild accusations or whatever without anything to support them. But yeah overall I think perspectives are really cool and theyā€™re part of what helps to make the world diverse and life so much less interesting without different perspectives.
The future. Iā€™ve found a bunch of my friends find thinking about the future stressful but if Iā€™m being honest I find solace in thinking about the future. Having things planned out and knowing what I intend to do/ where I want to go takes off so much stress. I lowkey live in the future and I honestly cannot wait till it comes, and I achieve my goals. While I might be a bit scared the future excites me so much more than itā€™ll ever scare me.
7. Maybe add some more stuff about the judging functions and feelings and thinking etc . I absolutely adore science and math. I literally do math for fun. Iā€™m currently aiming to get my PhD in astrophysics.
Not sure if this is relevant at all but my biggest (harmless) pet peeves are my grandmotherā€™s door stopper (it always gets stuck in the door and then u canā€™t get it out and the door wonā€™t close properly- I have an unhealthy amount of hatred for that thing AHAHJSEJKSMDJDJDJJ) and when people say some variant of ā€œyou did goodā€. Like nO NO YOU DID NOT DO gOoD. YOU DID W E L L (Anyways theres my little mini rant).
Iā€™m my friend groups therapist (sorta). While Iā€™m really not good with words and recycle the same three responses I always let everyone know that Iā€™m here for them and they can talk to me without judgement etc. While I really donā€™t know what to say or do I try my best because I care about my friends and want to help them. I love them and so I want them to be able to be happy. Im always smiling (though this is more so because people donā€™t ask me how Iā€™m doing when I look happy than because Iā€™m genuinely happy. Most of the time Iā€™m he farthest thing from that). Iā€™m a pretty warm person whoā€™s always happy to help, however Iā€™m very introverted. I havenā€™t had a single conversation with the majority of people in my class (Iā€™ve had a convo with maybe 5. Talk to 2 regularly. There are 26 people in my class). I never express negative emotions (with the exception of stress- I panic intensely in the 5 minutes immediately before taking a test as this helps me to completely turn off my nerves while Iā€™m writing the exam. I may also make a joke or two about my negative emotions with close friends). I should also add that when making decisions I value logic more and think thinks through thoroughly, examining the pros and cons etc. While I take feelings and emotions into consideration when making decisions theyā€™re more like an additional variable to consider rather than the main driving force that determines my decision. If Iā€™m feeling really emotional and I need to make a decision I will postpone deciding until I feel more levelheaded. Iā€™m really not impulsive in the slightest.
Thank you so much!!
INTJ
Living in the future rather than the present and your comfort in that sapce, your ability for and enjoyment of making predictions, your ability to really understand and try on different perspectives you donā€™t necessarily agree with, your focus onĀ ā€œramificationsā€ (aka future implications) while problem solving - this all points to high Ni.
You also show a Te preference - goals based on external metrics, to-do lists for daily tasks, logic based on the outer world (external opinion). When you saidĀ ā€œWhile I take feelings and emotions into consideration when making decisions theyā€™re more like an additional variable to consider rather than the main driving force that determines my decisionā€ - that is a clear cut definition of Te over Fe preference.
Your tertiary Fi shows through here as well - willing to disrupt harmony if it upsets your morals, your morals being personally derived, needing to understand your emotions while alone. And lastly, your statement aboutĀ ā€œforgetting to liveā€ from being in the future is pretty textbook inferior Se.Ā
