My approach to money is to spend as little of it as possible while still getting what I want in life. I like spending elegantly and tastefully, but if it means buying something expensive it hurts. I want to write a book called How to Live a Glamorous Life on a Budget.

Translate that into a type.

INTP? Kinda?

Your poll response boils it down nicely.

So I'm ISXJ? Or you mean the clues to type part isn't important. I was just testing your analysis. Pretty accurate I guess.

My analysis? You gave a response to the poll in your first comment. My original analysis from months ago stands. Your response and my analysis match as far as dominant function.

Finding your type is really easy but you insist on making it difficult.

I just think that tests containing only one question are awesome.

I'm not Si dominant. And I don't remember what you originally typed me as, since it was so long ago, but thanks anyway. By analysis I meant testing the answer key; since my hierarchy of functions according to your assessment of how they relate to money pretty well matches what type I think I am, I'm saying it's pretty accurate I guess.

You did not respond as Si dominant, but as Ni dominant.

Ah. Not exactly, since I didn't put it as being the most important; I just said I like it. But now I know which type you think I am.

The poll asks to identify with one, not to consider it most important.

Hm. Well you have a point in that case. If I had tons of money I'd buy some expensive things. Being tasteful and elegant is pretty important. So how do you relate that to Ni? (And I still don't think this whole thing proves someone's type.)

Use money to care for others - indicates Fe.

True that I am a natural saver / Ne, though.

Mine is the opposite. I spend money to care for myself and I spend whatever's in my eyes.

Though, I'm very particular on what that money is spent on.
