it's quite obvious by the state of the world that we're living in that there aren't more idealists, isn't it?!?!

But seriously, I get into a lot of trouble by refusing to take sides, or offer a concrete opinion... And, of course, when I offer an opinion, I am laughed at and told to grow up just because I am an idealist.

No one ever tells a realist to try to make the world a better place, instead, do they?!? Maybe I should try that comeback someday...

Yes, Susan and I often seem to be two peas in a pod. And I can see a lot of gg there, too.

You're good at this...

I thought that was the whole point of the explanation...

Was there nore? Was I actually reading it as a pessimist instead of an idealist????

(please read this as the self-deprecating humor it was meant to be...)

oh my gosh, sweet zeugma! i'm so sorry!:- i actually thought about you being infp after i left the lab yesterday. don't know why i didn't think to post that...probably b/c you had mentioned you might be inf/*t*p..i was counting purebreds only..:-P just kidding. you know i think you are one awesome infp zeugma! i have the awesomest conversations with you! :) maybe one of these days you'll be more receptive to babblemail..probably about the same time i am, lol..some time *in the future*, lol.

hi thuso, hehehe. you're posts are great fun!:) i think i might have some of that penchant you mentioned above myself, lol...somehow it only comes out online, though...i'm a totally nonoffensive, gentle person in person..you wouldn't recognize me.:)


well i took the test yesterday, tried to save the results cause i had trouble posting here but lost them due to congested email...long boring story..

anyway, the test results did verify that i was an infp...slightly expressed introvert, slightly expressed perceiving, highly expressed intuition, and moderately expressed feeling (it was like 20% introversion, 25% feeling, 75% intuition, and 20% perceiving.)

i knew i was near the borderline on those 3 traits...those 3 tend to switch around on me as far as test results (and personality) are concerned. and i think back to a j/p question that i impulsively answered differently than i should have...so the j/p percentage should actually be a little closer..anyway! phew.

amy:)


p.s. it bugs me b/c there is so much that is not in the infp portrait, even though that is accurate. i think i am kind of a mix of all the intuitive types. this is getting really self-absorbed lol. sorry.

I can be around, but I tend to stick mainly to administrative type threads for that reason. Better to say nothing then to open my big mouth and get in major trouble. That's my life motto IRL also. I just wait until I'm away from everyone and then let loose. No way to hurt someone if they can't hear your comments.

Hi amy,

you are right, it is the T/F function that is closest to a balance (the others are quite marked). It follows that this is the dimension most likely to be affected by a psychoactive medication- Ritalin pushes the balance in favor of F, so I was feeling very INFP-like when I posted my peeved (just kidding, love the word actually) reply. I'm more INTP-like at the moment due to pdoc's orders. So your excluding me from your list peeves me less, and in general I'm less likely to get peeved at all.

always wishing you well,
-z

Hello

Just wondering what can be done to improve the INTJ personality type...

Many thanks if anyone knows of any weak spots ~ ways to make them better...

Kind regards

Nick

Ps - Thanks alesta for starting this thread, I've found reading about the personalities very interesting :-)

You remember what I scored last time? Wowzers! I'll take your word for that. Ya, I'm solid, not borderline in any of the scores.

Thanks. I dunno for sure what's up. Words aren't coming out of me easily (which is totally weird). I'm in constant pain from a nerve injury. I can't remember a proper sleep. Last night, the nerve was jangling. It was like pain popcorn popping in my hand and fingers. It's hard to put into words. And it's different different days/nights.

And I take five meds for the pain, and sure as hell they're messing me up. Oxycontin, Percocet, nortriptyline, Lyrica, and clonazepam. The last two were added in by a pain specialist, who I saw once so far. I think the Lyrica is messing me up most. Rock. Hard place.

And this block thing. I can only say I am deeply wounded by that. I'm a good man and I don't understand.

And I feel all alone.

I'm bawling now, so that's good. I don't wanna get the computer wet.

In reply to INTJ - Improvements..?, posted by Nickengland on November 21, 2005, at 13:47:37

Well, as an INTP who is pretty darn close to INTJ, I'd say you're probably quite wonderful just as you are!

Seriously, I think there are so many strengths involved in that personality type. And there may be a few challenges or things that will cause pain as well.

Maybe a lot of it has to do with the degree of any given characteristic. I usually come out almost evenly matched on all characteristics but introversion. And I know the degree of my introversion does cause me some problems. Do you know how strongly you are I or N or T or J?

 

Sorry, coming in late... any free tests out there

Hi Dinah,

>Well, as an INTP who is pretty darn close to INTJ, I'd say you're probably quite wonderful just as you are!

Many thanks! I feel relieved lol I read about the INTP too and thought it has excellent characteristics..

>Do you know how strongly you are I or N or T or J?

Ahh this is the thing, I've taken the test afew times and each time came out as an INTJ (I was testing to see if it would change depending on my mood) Anyway I remember reading the percentage? of the given characteristics ~ I can't quite remember the figgure, but I know some scored around the 50% mark, but then I think I remember one actually scored pretty low. It said something like 2 were moderately expressed - then 2 were slightly expressed (something like that I could be wrong, I think i need to take it again to make sure!)

How does it work though, for example if say you score 1% for one of the types - then you scored 50%, then for example you scored 100%. Is it best to score high, low or inbetweeen? I guess my question is, the higher the pecentage of the characteristic (the more its expressed) is that generally a good thing ~ or is it best to have each one moderately expressed? lol im alittle confused how to make an interpretation of the results... - from memory I think I scored the lowest on extraverted thinking

Kind regards

Nick

Hi Nick!

>Is it best to score high, low or inbetweeen?

well, I dont think it makes it better or worse. But if you were low on them then that just means you are closer to be more balanced with the revese. So if you I is low you are closer to an E then if it were high. It really isnt about best and worst. Its just that higher percents mean you have a stronger tendency towards that trait. This mostly has to do with career personality analysis, well Meyers Briggs does anyway and it seems similar. The idea is to direct you in the path that suits your personality style. (sorry got rambling)

>I guess my question is, the higher the pecentage of the characteristic (the more its expressed) is that generally a good thing ~ or is it best to have each one moderately expressed?

yes, exactly. It depends as to how you want to be I guess. Id like to score diffenetly on mine, because I think maybe Id be more successful with particular things, but I dont think I ever will :-o because in most cases I think we are pretty consistent

>lol im alittle confused how to make an interpretation of the results.

Im not sure if this one gave the list of occupations that best suit the types or not but Ill have a look for soemthing thats more useful at analyzing them.
I guess I would use your score as a very loose guideline.
I hope that made some sense.

But after reading it, I'm really ambivilant about whether each characteristic in INTP fits, although the overall description fits well enough.

I guess that's probably because I'm only really very pronounced in introversion, and the rest were a tossup according to the formal psych testing.
