INTP
As Ps get more stressed, they start to show negative J characteristics, like being stubborn to a ridiculous extent, but the reason to believe so has no evidence, as a J would insist on, all they have supporting it is internal judgment. The rigidity isn't helping them... they get more into self-preservation, but they can't balance it adequately as a normal J would. That sort of thing.

Oi! You failed me too.

I don't believe your statement to be true either.

I would expand, but I have to go to a baby shower. :doh:

Anyway, maybe Ivy can get Noah or Martoon to validate or reject your theory (since I know they're INTPs).

So Noah and I aren't addressed directly anymore? It all goes through Ivy now? ;)

Anyway, it's nice to be an INTP poster child, I guess. Regarding the post being referenced, I don't believe that I, personally, start moving toward any J characteristics (negative or otherwise) when stressed. In fact, when I get really stressed, I just shut down, become paralyzed, and stop taking any action at all. I just get very passive and resigned. If anything, I'd say it's like an extreme, unhealthy P characteristic.

But other INTPs may react differently. While I have no doubt that I'm INTP, my reaction doesn't necessarily represent the breed. I'm very non-aggressive (is that a passive way of saying "passive"?), and I really hate conflict, or having anyone upset (even if it's not directed at me). I have a high enneagram Type 9 score (calmness), and very low Type 8 (aggressiveness). A lot of INTPs will occasionally "rage", where they really go into a fit of anger. I've never done anything like that. I don't really do anger. I don't know how. I probably should.

Wowzers!
I go on with my real life for a few hours and now I'm completely lost in this thread!
Haha!
I still think Xander and Edahn are INTP's.. not very strong on the I but INTP's nevertheless.

:huh:

About which? (Now I'm confused!) Her being INxP or ESFJ??

As far as ESFJ actresses go, I have a suspicion Toni Collete might be one. She's quite talented; and if she's not ESFJ, she's played at least a few of them perfectly.



Oh. You posted a picture of a cat.

You must be F.

Typelogic lists Sally Struthers, Mary Tyler Moore, Dixie Carter, and Sally Field as ESFJs. They all seem like really nice ladies. Jack Benny, Desi Arnaz, and Don Knotts are listed as the male ESFJ entertainers. I hope they update that list sometime soon.

Man, that's a pretty old school list right there.

I can so relate to Don Knotts. Seriously, he cracks me up.

With emphasis on OLD. (Yikes!)
At least Toni's probably only in her 30's.

Nah, y'all aren't getting off that easy. This topic is about long-winded explanations with lots of technical mumbo jumbo and random assertions. I want some of that too!

No, no, no -- you're an ISFP, you'd HATE that!

With me, it's directed toward myself, because it arises when I know I should be able to do something that I can't, for some reason. For instance - back to the skateboarding analogy - I'd have something worked out intellectually, but I'd fail initially when it came to the physical aspect. And after a series of failed attempts, I'd yell out something like, "Haight! You're an idiot! You have push down and then out. Dammit!

However, more times than not, I'd end up accomplishing that which I ranted about generally a minute or five later. So it helped with focusing, in a way.

So as usual, it has to do with me not living up to me. I'm selfish even when angry, in other words.

That sounds too familiar. Except with me, it was physical skills like you describe, OR making a mistake in logic / not understanding something, OR failing in one of my responsibilities that I had internalized. I made self-deprecation an artform and would either ridicule myself out loud or scream at myself in my head until I got it right.

I didn't have external outbursts involving other people until I reached my 20's and forced to be in proximity to other people, which meant often that when there was emotional stress and I couldn't get away, well, then it got uh-gly.

Doood -- he's freaking studying to become a BUDDHIST. That doesn't make you ENFP. Or INFP.

Agreed! The idea of everyone being one and combining in some sort of hive mind nirvana is an anathema to me!

Someone PM me if my name comes up. I can't be bothered reading this thread anymore.
Smart choice. Incidentally, you had it right way back with INFP; though I would entertain ISFP, too.

Enneagram Type 2, for sure. I'd accept ENFJ based on compliments given to you as get-together hostess.

Thanks. It's always interesting how others view you. I've taken the enneagram many times and more often times than not, I score 3w4.
