People Are Not Snowflakes

Aug 27, 2009 22:17

I'm very much into the Myers-Briggs thing just lately, and very much enjoying the INTP forums. (They're all just like me, except for the ones who aren't.)

This one made me laugh - Point #4, especially. It's not terribly flattering to me and mine:

'This is one INTP's definition of the needs of an INTP as a spouse or mate. The original author's ( Read more... )

just out of curiosity...

Ah! I am an INTJ! We had to take the test in our PR program, god knows why. For the J/P part I got half Js and half Ps. The test said in that case you should go to the P side.

Anyway, so most of the class was Ps so the 5 Js went into another room. Our task was to come up with a presentation on why Ps or Js are great. Seriously, what a childish assignment.

Well, the P discussion was a complete mess. Everyone was throwing out ideas and no one was getting anywhere. I was starting to lose it. I just wanted to yell, 'PICK SOMETHING! JUST PICK SOMETHING!'

In the end, the Js came back with a list and the Ps were NOT prepared so Angel our blues singer in the group just started to sing our ideas. It was utter chaos and I was having some kind of breakdown.

That's the moment I realized that I'm not a P at all. I am a J.

The great part of it was that in the booklet from the test there are common grievances for your type and how to resolve them. I actually used the tips at the next volunteer meeting and left a lot happier. Then again, after 4 meetings I was the President so maybe it worked too well.

Anyway, sorry for the epic comment but I love Myers Briggs. lol. Need to find these forums!

Yeah, I meant INFJ. So not really similar at all actually.

Haha! Well, we're both inties at least.

According to Betty on 'Dead Like Me', NTs Are The Worst.

I LOVE DEAD LIKE ME! Have you seen the movie yet? I'm just rememebering about it now.

why was I anonymous?

I have seen the movie, and it is not a good movie.

I liked the George subplots, though, and actually got a little weepy at Murray's funeral, so clearly whoever wrote those parts of the story were on their A game.

Okay, that in fact sounds excellent.

No, we're definitely nothing alike. Ha.

I'm on a major kick at the moment. Maybe because for once all the traits I've been assigned are ones that I actually have - unlike with astrology where I have to ignore that I have no interest in sports, like, at all.

Also INTPs ('the Architect') are pretty rare (though not as rare as INFJs: 'The Mystic'; this is why you love the Mystic Pig so much, I surmise), which feels for some reason nice and exclusive. Even though that's sort of not the point at all.

Probably because the MyersBriggs is based on what you choose instead of randomn date and time. Although I'm such a Cancer it's not even funny.
