If I may ask, what is your relationship wit your parents? I know it will differ an incredible amount, but I'm just curious
INTP dad: Overall a great relationship. [....] I have been extremely fortunate to have him in my life and I can thank his silent influence for not making more mistakes in my life. The cons of my dad revolve around his lack of human interpersonal skills. He has said some pretty hurtful stuff to me at times.... and has no idea why I am upset... even when I draw a picture for him. He usually comes back with "I didnt mean it like that!" Which is great, but sometimes I think, seriously?
mom: ESFJ, overprotective, very affectionate, very routine-minded, only seems to think with emotions, good work ethic, really loving, conventional but with a silly sense of humor, tries to be understanding despite some narrow-mindedness, light-hearted, sort of naggy... a good relationship
dad: ISTP or INTJ (leaning toward INTJ), strict, bad people skills, dumb emotionally although not usually unkind, not compassionate, narrow-minded, likes to argue, hmm these are all negative things... responsible, hard work ethic, pretty good sense of humor when in a good mood, intelligent, good parent, ultimately loving although retarded at expressing it... also very routine-minded, doesn't like many people, overall good relationship though I probably wouldn't like him if he weren't related to me.
have you considered ISTJ for your dad? just curious
Yeah but he's pretty unorganized & has a rebellious side... he'll break the rules if he thinks it'll get things done, I've generally always known him to be really disdainful of people he thinks are "followers" & rule-mongerers. & he never follows directions or listens to anyone... whenever he talks about being in school he brags about doing everything on his own & being smarter than the teachers, etc.
