I envy that reasonable detatchment. I can't help not taking this stuff personally.)

We discussed this on 16types a couple of years ago and nothing has changed with people continuing to put people into boxes based on their limited knowledge of type. This says less about whether you are ISFP and more about the fact that people allow their prejudices to spill over even into type discussions. If I am sure about anyone knowing their type it would be you since I know that you did go through Berens’ process and as a result made that determination based on self-analysis. I can’t begin to count the times that someone considered me an intuitive type. I am sure that Pgats can say the same as well as others on this and other forums. You are ISFP not because I see it in you, but because you know yourself far better than people on this forum.
