*snip* Alternate answer: INFP thinks about changing light bulb, goes to look for a spare, gets distracted by very interesting tangent, starts philosophizing about said tangent, starts telling you about philosophizing of said tangent, realizes doesn't have any spare lightbulbs since that would be too practical and would have required foreplanning.
I'm so impressed, you do it in only 16 steps?! I usually end somewhere around 20.
12. Go back to store, buy lightbulb, and make a side trip to Dairy Queen to buy a Blizzard as reward
Right.
They'd feel guilty about replacing an old bulb, so they'd ask someone else to do it for them.
But their request would be so abstract and tangential that the other person wouldn't understand exactly what they wanted.
Then they would say "Oh, that's OK. Nevermind. I don't want to bother you"
Then they would curse the other person in their mind, and blame the other person for MAKING them replace the bulb.
Then they would either shut the other person out of their life completely, or vacillate between loving and despising that person forever.
Then they would bury the old bulb with an elaborate funeral ceremony, complete with poems and eulogies, and smile to themselves, knowing that the old bulb is "in a Better Place now."
^^^ YES! XDYeah. So it's 1 INFP.
1. Go to grocery store.
2. Buy light bulb.
3.... Wait, do I get an old incandescent bulb or a new fluorescent bulb? I can't make a decision now without such critical information!!
4. Go home and hop online to research.
5. Open up TypeC, waste 3 hours.
6. Come nighttime and darkness, stub toe on furniture. Resolve to fix it tomorrow.
7. Research pros/cons. If necessary, use spreadsheets to mathematically determine how long it would take for fluorescent to be profitable.
8. Go back to store, buy lightbulb.
9. CRAP! They are out of the lightbulb I wanted to buy! What do I do now?!? I can't buy an unresearched bulb - not after all the work I've put into this!
10. Go home.
11. ... 2 weeks later, stub toe again. Possibly break it.
12. Go back to store, buy lightbulb, and make a side trip to Dairy Queen to buy a Blizzard as reward.
13. Analyze light fixture. Try to change lightbulb without ladder.
14. After 5 minutes realize that it's not quite going to work. Spend 30 seconds grabbing a chair.
15. Change lightbulb.
16. Resolve not to wait so long next time.
12. Go back to store, buy lightbulb, and make a side trip to Dairy Queen to buy a Blizzard as reward.
Erm ... I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm going with 0. This INFP wouldn't even notice the light bulb needed to be changed.
Yeah, that's right. I've got mad observational skills.
As soon as the light goes out, they find the Darkness as an allegory for their black and empty existence, and swiftly slit their wrists.
i'm being serious when i say this, but one time a light bulb went out in my apartment in the bathroom when i was living alone, and i didn't change it for at least a week and a half. i used my Nintendo Ds as a light source and i quite enjoyed taking showers in the dark after awhile, it was new.
I never even actually changed it. I came home from work and one of my friends who had a key, who was annoyed at my laziness came into my apartment and changed it. he was an ISFJ.
you can always count on an sj to change your light bulb for you.
