I'm an INTJ too and let me tell you that people find me weird^^ and can't believe a woman can be logical. *rolls eyes*

[halfshellvenus]

Yay! For the matchiness, at least. :D

It's an uncommon type (< 2%), and SO rare for women

[ariss_tenoh]

LOL! I agree with her. I have zero sympathy for someone who caused their own problem and won't fix it, or just complains about it and won't fix it. For example, there is a co-worker who keeps complaining about it being cold in the department yet she wears very thin clothing. It drives me crazy to hear her complain it all the time.

At least there seems to be other women from this elusive planet^_~

Hahaha, I'm INTJ as well. And a software developer. And I soooo feel like I'm from another planet from most women.

[halfshellvenus]

Apparently, we ARE. :D

I grew up with the opposite actually, since both of my parents are really introverted and I'm not.

Lots of input about how extroverts are "shallow" and their friends aren't "real friends". It's hard to unlearn.

Awwww... that's unfair.

Our family is three introverts and an extrovert, and the hardest thing is making the extrovert understand that random babbling/noise really wears the rest of us down. That idea doesn't seem real to him! But we encourage his outgoing behavior and friends. Whatever makes him happy, you know?
