Hahahaa, I'm curious what y'all think, sometimes I question his type, (a self-tested and self-proclaimed INTJ).

So, if you care, please vote and explain your reasonings.

Much love...

I think he's got a bit of Fe, Te, Fi, little to no Ne, he definitely has Se, and I see/feel his Ni, but I've met others who have ginormous Ni, (Kalach, to name one), and Z doesn't seem to exhibit uber Ni, although functionally speaking I don't think one "exhibits" Ni. :D

I dunno.

He can come across as ENTJ sometimes, actually. I don't know what he's like on the I/E preference however.

He has type 8 listed in his profile but I think he's a 6.

Hello there, Typology CENTRAL! How are y'all doing TONIGHT?!?
:party2:
Looks like y'all are doing great!! What a fine, intelligent crowd we have assembled here tonight!!! :newwink:

Whoa ho ho there, hold on now, no need for applause; you're too kind, there's really no need. Well, alright... I guess if I'm up here, I should probably say a lil something about myself...

My name is Scott, I am a California kid, and I am officially an xNTJ noob :hi:

I'm probably more of an INTJ :coffee:, but I definitely resemble the ENTJ archetype as well :banana:. My tests generally come out just >50% introvert and just <50% extrovert, and I feel like my dominant function (introverted intution) and auxiliary function (extraverted thinking) are pretty well balanced.

However, while I might be slightly more dominantly introverted, I think xNTJ most accurately reflects my temperament, cuz, while a good amount of the time I just want to be left alone in my room to read or formulate/modify my thoughts and plans, I also like to go out with friends and get buck wild :party: and I have a strong underlying desire and ability to amass and marshall the resources necessary to accomplish my goals in life :run: (which tend toward equal parts personal liberation :woot: and delusions of global domination :2ar15:). Of course, they say INTJs are natural born leaders who step up to the plate if they think the current leadership is failing, so this might be used to explain my desire to take action, but deep down I suspect it's more than just that. While I've always felt like a bit of a nerd (I've always had an overtly fond appreciation for encyclopedias), I never felt self-conscious about it, and, more importantly, I was always genuinely proud of my intelligence and philosophia. If some ingrate had a problem with me or one of my friends and thought they could start something over it :nono:: I was ready to knock their dumbass to the ground :threaten:. An alpha male nerd, one might say... :doh:

Plus, they say ENTJs are master debaters :cheese:, and may God have mercy on your soul if you get into an argument with me... :devil:

In some ways this dual nature really benefits me: I have a strong internal sense of self, but I also like to go out and get blasted with friends. But, at the same time, it has its costs: I very easily write off what others think about me (more INTJ), and I can be a complete over-the-top fucking asshole since I don't care (more ENTJ). It seems that people who like me really like me, and those who don't are pretty much fearful of me (I'm not someone you want to be enemies with). That being said, I'm actually pretty likable and essentially everyone who knows me likes me (although even they usually think I'm kind of an asshole).

Aside from that broad swath of typical MBTI-related information, there's also everything that makes me unique. One of the things about type theory that I find most interesting is how people of the same type can be so extremely similar in their generalized "type" ways, but so different in their own particular idiosyncratic ways.

I'm also interested in how various type theories (enneagram, MBTI, even astrology...) reconcile with one another.

Beyond those two angles, I enjoy simply developing a better understanding of the types and type theory in general, and I'm most experienced in MBTI, then astrology, and then the enneagram.

But that's enough about me; now about you...

I've been delving into the MBTI via the internet over the last several years, and during that time I've found a lot of good informational sites (my favorite being personalitypage.com - no affiliation), but I ran into this place a few weeks ago, and I've got to admit, I'm really impressed. It's cool to see people broken up into their subgroups (NTs, NFs, SPs, SJs) and how their discussions follow as one might expect them to based on these subgroups (NTs think they're better than everyone else; NFs are a bunch of softies; I don't pay much attention to Ss, etc.), as well as how the various types interact amongst and respond to one another. Pretty unique place.

I was also pleasantly surprised with the quality of the conversations taking place, the amount of personal interaction going on, and, perhaps most of all, with how ridiculously well structured this whole place is.

Kudos to the creator, and to the management, and please excuse my vanity, but I have to ask: does/did an INTJ run/create this place?

Whatever the case may be, well done, sir... (or ma'am). Or persons.

Until finding your site, I hadn't realized the internet could be used for much more than facebook, wikipedia, amazon, imdb, email and porn...

Well, that seems to be enough of an introduction (I might have set a record for most smiley faces used in one sitting), and kudos to you for actually making it this far.

I'll see you on the forums. :cheers:

This was all fully described in my Intro thread.

I'm an xNTJ, but I am slightly more intoverted than extroverted.

My functional order is something like: Ni, Te, Fi, Se, with my shadow ENTP coming in somewhere in the realm of my tertiary, but in bouts that are largely out of my control, generally either when I'm out raging or when I'm working for days at a time.

The comment by Bay about me being an enneagram six is interesting... I don't know much about enneagram... the description of a six does sound somewhat accurate, though... especially since (at least based on what wikipedia says), a healthy six will have attributes of a nine, which I self-diagnosed as my wing (i.e., I thought I was 8w9)... how did you arrive at this conclusion, Bay?

:thinking:

I think Zarathustra's an INTJ, function-wise. (Unlike ETJs, he doesn't jump as quickly into Je, and prefers to toy around with Pi first. Really, his introduction post is rather long-winded for someone who's Je dominant.) His enneagram 8 is throwing off the distinctive "INTJ" flavor that most are accustomed to. Almost every INTJ with an e8 I know has an ETJ-esque demeanor.

Yeah, this is what i see based on my knowledge...that and i identify similarly in terms of I/E so maybe i've picked up on that? hmm

my partner is a pretty strong INTJ, while my best friend is an EXTREME ENTJ. based on how i've seen you post/debate i was really inclined to go with ENTJ because it reminds me of how my best friend and i interact in terms of debate and discussion..but being able to relate with SS in a lot of ways in terms of your guys' relationship interactions would make me agree with your own assessment.

that and it's like, your own assessment :yes:;)

:thinking:

Based on some of the interactions you had on the site and your overall style. 6s tend to mistype themselves as 8s and not the other way round.
