I'm getting cabin fever from being unwell, and I'm bored. So... what type am I?

INTP, although I've sometimes thought that you're INTJ or ISTP. :ninja:

When I first met you, I took your type for granted (INTP) but then I thought you were INTJ, even though you don't sound like a machine.

I kind-of thought you could be ISTP. Sometimes I mistake your posts for Grayscale's.

I'm not particularly playful, yes. Depends if that's type-related or to do with my particular history, though. I haven't worked that one out yet.

I'm a lot more relaxed and laidback than my INTJ friend IRL - but maybe that's because she's kinda an extreme INTJ.

Yeah, that's also a possibility. I have some N - but I'm in my mid-thirties, so I could well be an ISTP with a well-developed Ni (ie tertiary function).

I don't see a lot of J in bluebell. I can see how her guardedness could come across as J.

ISTP is more of a possibility than INTJ, to me, but I'm still pretty convinced of the INTP.

INTP - and a great listener.

I'm quite glad to see you 'round this side of the pond.

Can you convince HilbertSpace to (momentarily?) make an appearance?


His genius is truly uncommon.

Are there any ISTPs you've met (online or IRL) around my age? That's probably a better comparison than teenage/early 20s ISTPs.

Same thing. :)

Heh. It's a bit more complicated than that. I could crap on for pages about that, but I won't. /guarded ;)

Yeah. Maybe a soft J. Maybe you're like Haight.

lol, I could be convinced that I'm a soft J (except I loathe making decisions - I want to keep options open as long as possible). But I dunno, Haight's posts don't feel particularly familiar to me.

:blush: Thanks.

Agreed on the last bit. I think he's going to be kinda busy for the next little while, but you could always try PMing him on INTPc. And can we convince you to cross the pond the other way? :yes:


Thanks. :)

INTP. You don't seem like a J at all to me, and your N seems too strong to simply be the well developed Ni of an ISTP.

I do know some older ISTPs actually. On the whole I'd say they're more hands-on than I think you are. They are all in careers they can put their hands on (geology, mechanics, nursing) whereas I see you more interested in ideas and concepts.

Not J because I procrastinate endlessly? ;)

That's kinda why I've been leaning towards INTP rather than ISTP. I go through temporary phases of hands-on stuff (eg I got obsessed with knitting scarves for about a year - but only scarves, because anything that required working from a pattern required too much concentration. Scarves worked cos it was mindless and I could think while I did it). I spend a lot of time observing, though to feed the models, which could be Se? I'm way unobservant in general, though.

Aww.

NICE = necessary coffee imbiber, eh /lame
